Hello! I hope I am not too late to join in! My name is Sarah. I'm 37 with 4 kids. I've dieted in the past and been successfull but after awhile I lose motivation and stip trying and end up gaining back the weight. This time I want to keep it off! I enjoy walking and bicycling for exercise. I also want to start using our PS3 Move to exercixse as well!

Hi all,

My name is Brad and I'm from Royston in Hertfordshire UK. I work at present as a truck driver working nights. Most of my work is for Sainsburys delivering to their supermarkets in and around London, so I don't spend too much time behind the wheel and the unloading and reloading is quite active.

I used to do a lot of body building when I was younger and was quite large and could really eat anything I wanted but I injured my shoulder and that put me out for a while and I never went back in the gym. 15 years later the weight hasn't changed that much but the muscle has been replaced with fat and it's time to get rid.

I'm 48, 5' 7" and currently 83.8 kgs or 185lbs. I'm not sure what my goal weight is at the moment as I may, when I've regained a little fitness, go back in the gym and hit the weights again. I was 14 stone without an ounce of fat on me in my younger days, which is heavy for 5' 7". I don't think I want to be that big again though.

My motivation for getting fit again is my 5 yr old who is getting to the age where he wants to play football and go for bike rides and I don't think a fat sweaty puffing and panting Dad is a good example to set. Besides I want to play for longer than 20 mins lol

If there's anything else you want to know just ask.

Brad

Hey there :flowerforyou:

I'm Jess, 31 years old, happily married to Nick and we have two beautiful children - Jack, 10 and Amelia, 8. I work as an administrative assistant at our local university in Chester, UK.

I have previously lost weight on a Rosemary Conley plan and through exercising, but a year or so ago I was diagnosed with ME/cfs and haven't had the energy or wherewithall to do anything particularly active recently. That, coupled with medication for the ME and a depressive disorder, has meant that my weight has skyrocketed. I'm totally fed up of being overweight, tired and unhealthy, and now that my kids are at an impressionable age and are starting to make their own choices in life, I want to be able to help and encourage them to make healthy choices.

I'm 5'4" and a hefty 18 stone. I need to lose about 110lbs to bring me back to my ideal weight, so I have a long way to go. But I am very determined that this year, finally, I am going to acheive my goal and start living the life I want... and deserve!!

Feel free to add me as a friend - the more support we have, the better!

Thanks,
Jess x

hi everyone! My name is Bridgette, im 23 years old. I am a hairdresser and ever since highschool i have been struggling with my weight. Im looking forward to this group!

Hi lovely potential twins!

My name is Lauren, I'm 27, and a student pursuing a Bachelor's in Network & System Administration, although I'm currently on paid internship until June in the field of Information Security.

Historically, I suck at managing what and how much food I eat, and I hated exercise. I'm here because I have gained a decent amount of weight in the past few years, and I don't want to gain any more. I am definitely struggling with some self-image issues. Ideally I'm looking to lose about 15-20lbs - but I'm less concerned about the number - I'm more motivated to to tone up overall, and to start and keep healthier dieting and exercise habits. Another goal I recently realized is that I want to be fit enough to try out for the local Roller Derby team next year!

I have two cats that I adore, music is a huge part of my life, and I'm a video game junkie (but doing it as responsibly as possible). I also have a passion for football (or "soccer", here in the states) - namely Premier League and MLS. I can't wait to get to know a bunch of you better, and cheer you on as you meet and beat your goals!

Hi. I am Carolyn. I am happily married to my high school sweet heart and have 3 sons aged 15, 12, and 11. I am 40 years old and a Montessori Teacher (tods and twos) here in southern Ontario, Canada.

I began gaining weight after highschool due to bad eating habits and lack of activity. Then I quit smoking 16 years ago and then having 4 pregnancies in 5 years started my weight to really climb. I began excercising 2 years ago with very little results. This summer I started following a plan that includes reducing carbs, sugar and sodium with an increase in protein. This has allowed me to lose 66 pounds since then. I am aiming for 155 pounds. I exercise twice a week with a group of friends, 60 minutes of Zumba every Tuesday and Thursday. In the nice weather I also swim, walk and bike ride.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Stefanie and I am a 22yr old college graduate looking for a full-time job. Alcohol has become part of my life in the last year and the past 6 months have been the worst. I gained 10 lbs and decided I wanted to get back to happy and health and reach the ultimate goal of my weight I've had since I can remember - 117.

I love working out, doing art, playing golf, and Japan. I also love wine, cupcakes, and have a distinct lack of willpower when it comes to food. I'm looking for anyone that would like to share some support - or some healthy competition (I am desperate enough to attempt to let my vain pride and hatred of losing to help me lose weight). I work best when people goad me into actually working, like claiming I can't do it and then congratulating me when I do.

I'd love to support any twin on this website and anyone who isn't I'd still love to friend and support!

Good Luck everyone

Stef

My name is Karena (Kah REE Nah) and I am 23 years old (24 in March). I was 150lbs when I met my husband and always thought I was fat. When we found out my husband was deploying I knew I wanted to lose the weight before he got back so in august I started working out and eating right. I have lost 63lbs since he left and I have 35lbs to go. I am trying to get there before his R&R in April. He is one of the biggest reasons I am doing this. I want him to have a beautiful wife (he says I am beautiful no matter what). I am also doing it for our kids...I don't want them to have a fat mommy.

Hey everyone my name is Brittany I am 23 and love in Florida!! I start my first year of college February 6 and I am going to be eventually be a kindergarten teacher. I want to lose this weight because living in Florida most of the year everyone is in tank tops, shorts, bikini's and short cute dresses. I am tired of being the fat girl when I go out with my girl friends. I am tired of being over looked by guys because of my weight. I am 5'2 and weigh 195 lbs and my goal weight is 125.

Hiya!

I'm Terri, mum of 2, live in the UK and I'm 33. I've always been a yoyo dieter, spent half my life on various weight loss programmes. I was a size 10-12 (and can you believe felt big then!!) and now I'm here at size 20 in trousers, 22 in tops. How did that happen????? lol.

I got married last year and then got a kinda 'doesn't matter any more' attitude to dieting because I didn't have anything to work towards. Problem is now I'm heavier than I have ever been and I'm uncomfortable in my clothes now. I WILL NOT BUY BIGGER CLOTHES!!!! So, here I am making an effort. I love going to the gym and the classes, getting right into it again, and so I'm back on the right path. Just need some added motivation.

Hiya,

I'm Rachel, second year student at university in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I've always been big, but I've had ENOUGH!! haha!

I'm 20 years old (will be 21 in September)
I'm currently 272, hoping to get to 200 in time for my 21st!
I'm 6"3 (if that makes any difference)

Add me

Tammy, 22 years old. I'm 1.70 meters tall, And weigh about 65 Kg - I guess it'll be hard to find a pair that uses the metric system

Most of my teen age life I'v weighed under 60 Kg and was allways slim and fit becuse i used to work out a lot - and came from an athletic background. Since i hit the age of 20 my weight fluctuated above 60 Kg. I'v ignored that fact for very long, telling myself i look good and healthy.
I'm married for a month now - and both me and my husband realised that we each had about 7 Kg to lose.

So, I'm on my way to do that.
I'ts sounds easy cuz it's only 7 Kg, but believe me it's rather hard - becouse the shock isn't extreme.
We don't think of ourselves as fat, WE only admit to have gained just a little help.

Oh, i'm babbling on and on..
Good luck everyone

I am from australia and do use the metric system but when speaking on these boards find it easier to speak in pounds as everyone else gets confused.

To kasott10: He can make his own dinner, and you make yours? Just a suggestion Or just add some veggis with the meal your making to him? Or make dinner and say: This is it, if you don't like it, go make your own dinner. Then he can't complain that you didn't make dinner
