"I was always saying I would get the weight off 'someday,'" Diana Huffman said. A mom of four kids, Diana reached 220 pounds after the birth of her daughter. She had been putting herself last, which she realized was not fair to her or her children. Just before her 40th birthday, Diana decided "enough was enough."

Diana started hiking again at Squaw Peak, a local mountain she used to hike in her 20s, and vowed to make it to the top "no matter what," she said. "Since then I have been hiking that mountain every week along with running, swimming, biking, aerobics, and eating clean 95 percent of the time."

Kim Barrows decided to make 2007 the year to be healthy. She used NutriSystem to kick off her new diet and workout plan. By doing cardio for 45 minutes and strength training for 30 minutes 5 days a week with three of her best friends, Kim lost 65 pounds in 10 months. Kim went from a size 16/18 to a 4/6 and maintains her current weight by sticking to her workout schedule and exercising portion control.
