    Hi! I'm 29 and had a baby and started to let myself go. I looked at old pictures and compared my body to the way it was and knew I had to make a change! Motivation is key! I fall off every now and then and it gets hard to get back into it! Hey I'm only human! Lol!

    Hi - I'm 53 and stopped smoking 15 months ago. I put on 30 lb!!! I now want to shift it. I'm losing very slowly and I think the problem might be not logging my calories properly. I'm finding it quite hard to record some of the home-made foods I eat but will try harder.

    I'm 35, 2 kids, I work full-time and go to school part-time. I am an emotional eater and am tired of being overweight. I'm ready for the change so feel free to add me! Having friends on this site definitely keeps you accountable.

    I'm an emotional eater as well as when I'm just bored! So definitely trying to retrain my brain. I am sooo excited to have found this site. A few weeks ago I decided to step on the scale, thinking maybe 210-212 but I was wrong.. 220 was a number I wasn't expecting to see! I've only been eating clean and working out again for 2 weeks but that's 2 weeks longer than I normally would have :) I already feel an amazing difference not putting so much trash into my body and I love cardio.. who knew? :) I'm not sure what exact weight I would like to be at yet, as I can't remember what being under 190 is like but I'm definitely shooting for 160 by the end of the year!
