Hello
Hello.
My name is Donald and I am trying to lose some weight.
My weight fluctuates wildly, since I don't really control what I eat and am not consistant with exercise. A basic timeline of my gain/loss story is:
1989: 240
1990: 188
1993: 200
1997: 240
2000: 285
2002: 235
2003: 200
2004: 240
2005: 235
As you can tell, it's out of control. I have known it for years, and while I was in the Army (1989-1998), I was always able to lose the weight in time for the every six month weigh-in or at least make my acceptable body fat limit.
My physical concerns came home recently, when my mother lost a limb due to diabetes (after a quad bypass, back surgery,...). I know right now, I am a prime candidate for all sorts of health problems with my family history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. I am mid-thirties with three children, and a fourth due in July. I really want to be there when they get married, and be able to spoil grandbabies for a long time.
Any support offered will be well received and appreciated. (PS, feel free to be brutal if I start to slip up!)

Hi,
This is my first posting. I am 33 yrs old and ready for a life style change. I have been somewhat over weight my whole life. I had it under control and stable in my early 20's. After I got married and had my 2 girls I wasnt able to get all of the pregnancy weight off with either of them. I gained 50 with each. I have started a diet each and everyday for the last 7 years only to fail. I had lost 30-40 pounds a few times only to gain it back plus. I guess thats why I am here. I need support and advise. Thanks

New Chick
Hi,
I just registered after finding this site. Its wonderful! I am 27, 5'9" and I have a five year old daughter. I am not sure what happened but one day 3 1/2 months ago, I got on the scale and I weighed 242 lbs. Once I regained conciousness I broke out that step I bought a year ago and decided to use it for something other than a shoe rack. I have been dieting off and on my whole life. The last time I was thin I was 12. Anyway, I dont know what was different about this time but I am doing it and I will accomplish my goal. I am so happy and grateful to have stumbled accross this site. Everyones accomplishments are so motivating and I know this will help keep
me going!

I've been lurking on this site for awhile now and just thought it was time to introduce myself

Hi There! I'm New!
Hi!
I'm 42 and I'm fat! I just joined Nutrisystem and I love it. I'm going on my 5th day and I've lost 3 pounds already. It's so easy! Plus I get to still have my glass of Merlot every night so life is good! I am highly motivated to lose weight. I am the heaviest that I have ever been. I am also a full time nursing student so I need to lose this weight to help me through all the stress. I am really good at email and instant messenger. Plus I would like to find someone in my area that maybe I could walk with once a week.
Thanks for reading this!
Anna

new with hypothyroidism
I am 27 to be 28 on the 8th.. I am overweight, a new mom, tired, and not motivated. I love sweets and have no will power against them. A year and a half ago I ran a 10k in Disney.. Now I cant even get motivated to walk on the treadmill. It is all a vicious cycle. I get disappointed because Im too tired to exercise so i get depressed and eat..then get upset because I ate junk..
I just wanted to thank everyone who writes in... It is a great motivator that there are people like me..
