I am a 40 year old wife to the most amazing man, a mom to 2 beautiful girls, active aunt to 4 wonderful kids, listening board to 2 sisters, and a parent to my parents. I work from home & forget most days to brush my hair – no one sees me! When I do want to go out I feel overweight, under dressed, and out of place. I haven’t bought myself clothes in over 5 years & you can tell! I put family first & try to hide in the back because I am not happy with how I look.

I'll be 46 in May. I'm 5'1" and weigh 145#. I have added over 25# during the last 15 years. I've taken off 10-15# at different times but then put it back on. I tend to put everything else in front of my life but myself when it comes to exercise and diet...looking and feeling my best. It's time for a makeover. I'm ready to commit to the diet and exercise and a new look for 2010! Help!

As a representative for my agency, Tri-County Pharmacy, and a performer, I often find myself in the public eye and many times the public graciously supplies me with pictures of the events I attend. Sometimes I luck out and get only the "good" ones. Thank God for Photo Shop! Other times I receive the ones that seem to have been taken with the Hubble Telescope and wow! What a difference good lighting makes! I am reminded of the movie where the mother and daughter switch bodies, "I look like Tales from the Crypt!" Obviously, I could use some professional help in updating my image and assorted body parts. Are we allowed to beg for votes here?

I am a 40 year old professional who in the past year and a half has lost 50 lbs. and I am ready for a new look! Going from a size 16 to a size 6 has left my wardrobe with little to choose from. Although I have found many nice items at local consignment stores it would be nice to have some new clothes that actually fit! Finding a new hairstyle has also been a challenge. I would love some help from the professionals! Thank you.

I'm a stay at home wife and mother. I have to admit, I have not always looked my best. I love taking care of others but I could use a kick start in taking care of myself. I can't remember when I last had a professional haircut or bought a brand new outfit. I do remember when I last got my nails done-for my 1998 wedding!

I recently graduated from college-three weeks ago! It's time to set new goals, begin a new chapter, start a new career, and along the way I hope to encourage other women.

Weight came with menopause and the break-up of a long-term relationship. My career is rockin', but without a family I'm lonely & sad and need someone to love. Trying on-line dating, afraid of more than head shots, I rarely get a nibble on 'Plenty-of-Fish'. Since the bust of the real estate market, no extra money for clothes, hair, etc. Exercise and dietary changes have helped, now health matters are becoming an issue. Not savvy in fashion, but know if I looked better, felt better and had new photos I could reel-in a keeper and live happily ever after again, amen.

My name is Lonnie and i am a 22 year old mother of two, i know that other people probably think that i dont need or deserve a make over because of my age alone but i can assure you i am in need of one badly! I just had my daughter 6 months ago and although my wonderful fiance' tells me im pretty i no longer feel it.. my self esteem shot out the window after having my little girl, my mom says i feel this way because when your pregnant with a little girl she steals all your beauty! I didnt believe her while i was pregnant but now... im not so sure lol. I need some help ladies, i havent done anything to my hair since i found out i was pregnant, my nails are chewed down to the tips from stess. and to top it all off IM GETTING MARRIED IN APRIL..lately i feel like an overgrown tom boy.. my fiance complains that i look and dress like a 13 year old boy.... i would love nothing more than to show my husband the best side of me on our special day so please ladies.. vote for me to have this makeover and help me show my wonderful husband to be that i am honestly worth marrying THANK YOU!!!!

Its time for a makeover when your Boss comes in and says "you must enter that makeover contest and reminds me that I have been a caretaker of my Mom who lost her battle to cancer and my husband during and after heart surgery after only 6 months of marriage few years ago.I am 57, a natural blond, 5'1 short and body about the same size. I try not to walk out of the house without makeup, looks like ghost with blue eyes.

My body and health and my pocketbook say PLEASE!
