    I gained weight growing up, gradually. I became addicted to food and followed a very sedentary lifestyle. It got to the point where I was considered obese. After dropping sixty pounds I now work hard to keep the weight off, and don't let myself get back to the point I was at. I'm trying my best to stay on the right track!

    I was always considered chubby. When I got a job out of high school that had me outdoors all of the time and physically working I started losing weight and looking fit. I was able to eat what I wanted as I naturally worked it off. 17 years later I get a desk job and continued to eat the same way. I got lazy and started pouring on the pounds. Over a 10 year period I gained about 120 lbs. My health slowly deteriorated....High Blood pressure, Sleep apnea, borderline diabetes. The doc asked me at a visit in early February if I needed help. I told him I did in fact need someone to work with me. He set me up with a friend of his that runs a weight loss clinic. I saw him on February 29th. He schooled me in how my body is working right now and what I can do to start reeling it back in and getting my health back in order. March 1st, I started here and it has been a great learning experience. This place and the tutoring from my Doctor is helping me immensely. I go see him tomorrow afternoon and weigh in with him after a two week stint here. I have not gone near a scale since I was weighed by him two weeks ago. He will also go over my diary and show me what may need adjusted. I am actually excited to go see him tomorrow.

    Got a job that offered free food, beverages and pastries. I went from 170-ish to over 200. Eventually I came here, corrected that issue and I'm in better shape now than ever. Hmm.

    I was having a really tough time at work with a previous manager and some not so subtle bullying.... I turned to food for comfort to help pick up my mood and ended up gaining around 20lbs. I was addicted to sugar at night to help with the moods and being tired, and during the day at work I wasnt able to have proper breaks so I was eating high carb convienance food (if anything at all)

    I tried dieting before while it was all going on, with zero success.

    Now it's all over and done with, I've been able to concentrate on me again and getting both my mental and physical self healthy!

    I love food, I have always had problems managing it! It seems I can be good for a very long time, and then I cheat once and everything goes to crap!

    Lazy. Hit 40, metabolism slowed down but my eating didn't. I am 6'5" and got to 230, which isn't bad, but I had enough of getting fatter. Cholesterol was creeping up to.

    Joined a gym, stopped eating crap, and lost 22 pounds. Hope to drop a few more, but I'm ok where I'm at now. Cholesterol is back to normal, and I feel amazeballs!

    I started working nights. Packed on 15 pounds. Trying to figure out an eating schedule was different and what types of meals to bring to work. With this site, and Jillian Michael's program, I've lost 11 pounds. Also, fitting in at least 7 hours of sleep a day is importants. Working nights affects one's cortisol levels which affects metabolism, which affects weight.

    Master's Thesis=Stress+Sitting at a computer+Grilled Cheese Sandwiches+Packaged Cookies (I never ate that badly before but I never wrote a dissertation before!)

    Didn't help that I was doing lentils, and the fact that I was slightly undercooking them on a regular basis meant I was giving myself food poisoning on a regular basis, and that when I figured that out, I switched away from the lentils as food...

    I broke my leg and was bed ridden and non weight bearing for 6 months!! I maintained my weight throughout the healing process but once I was up and walking again I picked back up my fork! I was very active before my injury. I was a zumba instructor, I rode horses, I groomed and mucked a 8 horse barn AND was a full time student and worked a part time retail job.

    I am just now starting to become more active again. My ankle still blows up but I just push though it.

    Ladies, ladies, ladies. Having kids is not what made you fat. Being pregnant is not what made you fat. Eating too much and not getting exercising is what made you fat. You just did it WHILE being pregnant.

    I am so tired of people telling me I dont look like I had kids because I am not fat. Having kids does not equal being fat. Bad food choices and lack of exercise is what makes people gain weight. I made good choices and didnt have to lose weight that wasn't necessary to gain while pregnant.

    I was raised on fried bologna sandwhiches, chicken nuggets and french fries. If I saw a vegetable growing up it was buried under breading and deep-fried...
