My name is Tammy. I am 38 years old. My weight has always been a challenge for me. In 2007, I finally went over the 200lbs mark. Last year, I hit 215 and now within the past few weeks, I have hit 225. I am so disgusted with my weight and want desperately to lose weight.

I found out about the 50 million pound challenge in FIRST magazine. I hope to be supportive to others and find support in this website. I am starting tomorrow, Sunday, August 29, 2009.

My name is Missy and I am 30 years old. At the age of 15, I weighed 235lbs and had no self esteem. That was when it hit me I needed to lose weight and no one could do it but me. I lost 105lbs in an astoundingly short period of time(6 months). I yo-yo between 20lbs. Then I turned 30 and the weight just keeps creeping up and I cant lose it like I used to.
In fear of returning to my teenage weight I thought I would try this. Good luck to everyone!!!!!

Good morning everyone my name is Belinda and I have been trying to loose the weight for several years. My self esteem is very low because of my weigt. I have tried several diets and diet pills and have failed. I don’t like what I see in the mirror and my marriage is paying for it. I have been with my husband for 25 years and he does not deserve this. Maybe with all your comments and encouragements I will be able to loose the weight.

My issue with weight loss is how to keep it off as you age. Your joing excerise class and you can't continue or you grow disinterested.

As you age you get lazier, you may not excercise at all due to illness or injures.

Can anyone help me with this issue.
