    Hello! Please feel free to add me too. I turned 30 in April and went back to eating meat after being a vegetarian for a year. I kind of lost focus and put on about 15-20 lbs. My goal is to lose 15;bs and continue making healthier food choices. I don't know about anyone else, but I quickly learned that losing weight in your 30s is very different than in your earlier 20s!

    I just joined a couple days ago with a co-worker. We both work at Domino's so the struggle is real. I'm 6'1". Went from 225 to 200 then back up to 210 with my last weight loss. Started fresh last week. Starting weight this time around is 210. GW is a LEAN 190. Pairing a good diet with high protein and Dailyburn's TBT. Anyone can add me!

    I can vouch for this! I worked at a Dominos and later McDonald's. It's hard being around that food and not eat it! I found when I quit working there though I didn't eat it as much and I never eat McDonald's anymore. So yes, that is a very real struggle.

    Please feel free to add me as well. This is my first time around with this app and I'm mainly looking for accountability. I just turned 30 and realized that I'm feeling my age. I'm sluggish and my joints are annoyed. I like my crappy food and my couch, but I'm working on that. I'm currently doing a Dietbet, ending Sept 8. I'm 5'8" and large-framed. Please don't think I'm using that to excuse my current level of unhealthiness though! At my most fit (cardio and weights, lots of muscle definition), I was never below 135. I want to be able to feel good about myself before my husband and I seriously discuss having children.

    Would love to have more friends and support. I just turned 28. Looking to lose around 20-30lbs but I'm not focusing on the scale as much as I am my clothes and the way I feel. I've been doing crossfit but am also looking for additional fun exciting ways to get exercise in! Feel free to add me!

    25 so I'm not sure if it counts as late 20s... but my health is so bad that I could be a granny for all I know!

    I don't know my stats outside the metric system, so here they go...
    1.64 mt
    SW 90kg
    CW 77kg
    GW 60kg


    Feel free to add, my diary is open but it is in Spanish for the most part, however I'm happy to answer questions.

    Hey I am 32 and about 225 :/ have gotten on and off the wagon so many times now but almost hit the roof when I saw how bad it got this time (wouldn't be surprised if I had hit 235 - I didn't dare to weigh myself - I just got out the measuring tape) - aiming to get to 195 as a first major hurdle but trying in the interim to hit 215 (98kg - ish) so I am definitely below 100kg. Diet + training a minimum of 3 times a week + averaging >10,000 steps a day is the approach I am taking so please feel free to add me! :D

    Hello everyone,
    I'm turning 28 this year. MFP has helped me get closer and closer to my goal weight. I have 2 lbs left and I love have friends who motivate, comment, and encourage me, and who appreciate the same in return.

    I log it under circuit training, general. The calories burned/minutes is accurate.

    26 here, rapidly approaching 27 - people are welcome to add me, I love having active friends!

    I started at 202lb and am now 176lb, with an eye to lose another 20lb or so. I recalculate my goal every 10lb loss though to see how satisfied I am with the results, so that may well change.

    Hey guys, 27 and 5'5" here! I lost about 24 pounds on MFP a couple years ago, but gained it back and then some this past year when I started full-time at school again with a new part-time job on top of it (stress got the better of me, haha). I'm an art student, so my classes and my eventual career are gonna have me sitting down most of the day - I gotta get fit the rest of the time to stay healthy!

    I'm hoping to get into the 190's by January, so I could use some encouragement too. Even just seeing other people active in my news feed might help. Feel free to friend me!

    Hello! 5'5" and 28 years old. I just recently began a medication for my thyroid due to some lower than normal levels. It's been frustrating, as I've gained about 20 lbs in the past year through a mixture of sickness, fatigue, and finally, a "screw it, nothing's working" attitude. Even though I exercise pretty much daily and eat relatively well consistently, I hadn't seen much of a change, hence the doctor trip and ultimately figuring out the thyroid issue. I'm feeling good now, and I'm hoping this corrective medicine helps. I could always use some more active and supportive friends, as well! I've got a ways to go.

    GW: 135-150 (will evaluate when it gets closer to a reality)

    I started in June and I am doing this fairly slowly and hoping to avoid some of my past pitfalls in weight loss. I eat real food and exercise for two hours 2-4 times a week, planning on doing weight lifting soon.

    26 and 5' 11 from England. Started at 283 and now down to 259 - hoping to eventually get to 185.

    I have lost around 5 stone before (70lbs) but put it all back on when pregnant and now looking to get back to my previous size and then some more :)

    I am working out 5-6 times per week and eating healthy to obtain my goals :)

    Hi everyone!
    I'm Jess, and I recently started back at mfp after a long break. I'm looking to get back on track. I'm 28 (29 in October). I'm hoping to find some more friends to help keep me motivated and challenge me. I work full time and I'm a mom to a toddler.

    CW: 192 lbs
    GW: 150 lbs (subject to change)

    Correction to my OP: I'm newly in a relationship, so I'm not a single mom anymore.

    We have almost the same stats, and I'll also be 29 in October lol.. I'll add you :)

    Hello ladies, I'm Fidan, from London and I'm 28 (birthday is coming up nearly 29). It's been about 3.5months for me. I've lost 20.5 kilos and have about that much to go for goal. I'm 171cm in height which is about 5'7". I've 2 kids, my daughter is 2yrs and son is 10months. I know very close together but I love them. And of course the weight is unmissable.

    I just try to track my calories as best as possible (goal 1500) and workout whenever I get a chance to be honest. I completed the 30day shred workout and felt amazing and now I'm planning to start the ripped in 30 workout sometime in September.

    Feel free to add me.

    Hey everyone,

    My name is Camille. I'm 26 and live in New Jersey. I've used MFP two years ago but I'd like to start again, lose a few pounds these next couple of months, and get back to a healthier lifestyle. Most of my old friends on this site are now no longer active. I'm looking for people to exchange motivation, support, tips, and recipes with!

    Let's do this!

    Hey my name is Myya I'll be 26 next month,after losing 16lbs earlier this year I got lost in life events being a mommy grad school working full time and wedding this past July....but I'm ready to get back to it and stick to it.....I'm looking for more support as well a lot of my recent pals are as active although some are very much.....anyone can add me I could use the support!!!

    Hey folks! I'm 27 and have just over 60lbs I want to lose. Please feel free to add me. I like to think I'm supportive and motivational as well as funny. In the past I have lost a little over 80lbs but recently gained back a little over 20, so back on the wagon I go!
