    Hi I'm Kim (29) looking to lose about 18 pounds before my 30th. Honestly I have more on my mind though but 18 is a good start. I'm semi tall 5'7'' and right now 168. Yuck. 5 years ago I was 150. I've always been fit, not super skinny but slim. 2 kids later and a desk job I've put on about 10 pounds per kid. Never thought I would get this far but I did. I'm sick of friends saying I look good. The bonus about being taller is I do wear the extra pounds fine. I really do not have rolls and such but I'm just thicker, if that makes since. I'm up 2 sizes in clothes and want to get down. I've been in many weddings and always have the goal but that never helped. Now it finally kicked in I have to do it. I always said I can just work out and lose but thats not the case anymore, I must diet too. So far since Jan 3 I've lost 5.5 pounds and I'm thrilled.

    My other goal is not only my bday but I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon come Oct. My sister who is 8 years older just finished her first full marathon and and I want to get there. She was large but lost wieght after stomach surgery. Now, she is starting to gain some back. We have obesity in the family but thankfully I'm a different build, or so I though

    Hope you guys can help with support

    Right now I'm watching what I eat, not so much counting calories but if I had to guess I'm around 1300 daily, and working out 4-5 times a week for 60 minutes

    Hello, my name is Amie, and I am also turning 30 this year in February.

    I am 5'9 and currently weigh 155lbs, and my goal is to lose 20lbs and get down to 135 lbs by July.

    I am a single-mom to a wonderful 3-year old and stay at home with him running a home daycare and also provide travel agent services for Disney Destinations.

    I live in Southern Ontario Canada, and this winter has been quite hard on us, with lots of snow and cold weather which has left me completely unmotivated to lose the weight. Fortunately, I will be heading to Vegas for my 30th birthday, so have found a burst of energy to get this weight off.

    I will be leaving on February 18th, and my goal by that point is to have lost 5lbs and be down to 150.

    I think that the weight loss would be great for me, to boost my confidence and to get back out into the dating world.

    Look forward to hearing from all the kids of '81, and help motivate and support one another to reach our goals.

    Glad to mee both you ladies :)

    I'm Angela and looking to loose 30-45. I don't have a real target number other than over 30. Over the last 5 years there has been such a focus on weight and fitness that I think I've seen every type of diet out there! On a recent trip to Barnes and Noble; I decided who knows my body better than me? I did NurtiSystem about 2 years ago and it was amazing. I lost 30lbs plus some. It was easy to maintain with my hectic work schedule and on the go lifestyle. However, a surgery and job lay off later - I gained it all back. Well almost all! Not quite! I decided this time no pre-packaged food, no fad diet, no books to read - Just me. I have three great trips planned over this year (Vegas, Cabo, and a weekend getaway). Each trip will act as a milestone for me or checkpoint. It's good to have weekly goals but some weeks are plateau weeks and I have larger goals in sight. I have set those three dates on my cell phone as different count downs. I have just decided to eat healthier and get back into the gym. I sit at a desk all day or a conference table depending on how many meetings I have. I am in the computer industry (isn't almost everyone now days?) on more of the project managment/analyst side of things. I am tall as well so luckily I agree the weight doesn't look too bad. Just not happy with my own body.

    With my 3 countdowns my other half is being supportive by dishing out the $$ for new clothes at each milestone and the $$ go up with each goal obtained.

    I still cook for him as well but, I just add less to my plate and make healthier swaps for myself. If he has something starchy... I have something green. When he snacks on candy or chips during a movie, I enjoy a Slim Fast Peanut Butter Crunch bar (Amazingly tastes like butterfinger and is 100 calories.)

    I'm not doing any one particular diet... however, I have read a little of "Skinny *****" - I will never be vegan but, the concept is the same. It's a hard dose of reality with a twist of humor.

    I hope everyone here is able to maintain their goals and get to where they want to be. It's not really a pound for me it's a body image and a lifestyle change :)

    Last weeks weight 190 -
    This week - don't know yet but today I am suppose to weigh in!

    Hi Ladies. It's this website great. I'll have to admit I'm getting addicted. I work as well, out of the home but I'm on the computer all day and thankfully able to check online.

    Amie - Disney Destinations, sounds fun. We're actually heading that way in April. Can't wait. Thats another reason I want to lose weight and look better in shorts before April. Your little man is adorable. I have a 4 year old boy and a 18 month old daughter. We went to college in Niagara Fall NY, so not too far from Ontario.

    Angela - Welcome, your destination milestone trips sounds amazing. My busiest problem is always have the fund so I have to make it work elsewhere. I really wanted to do WW but I think I can do it on my own and so far its working.

    Hope some more ladies join us...

    Ooooh I want to join you ladies!!! I'll be 30 in December, so I guess I'm the youngster here for now LOL. I have a son turning one in March and am hoping to start trying for a sister or brother for him later this year or early next year! So my goal is to lose about 45 lbs before I start hauling out my maternity clothes for another go. I've just started buckling down on myself so I'm only down 2 pounds so far, but MFP is so motivating!!

    I'm adding myself to the group. My name is Victoria and I'll be 30 in December. I've been married for almost 9 years and I have two beautiful kids (5 and 2 1/2). I had a few years before having kids where I weighed about 120, then married life set in and I averaged about 134 lbs until I had my 2nd child. With my 2nd child I gained 50+ lbs and never lost all of the baby weight. I got back down to 147 but my saggy skin was discouraging so I added a couple pounds. At 156 (the same weight I was when I delivered my first child) I realized that I was too fat for my frame. My wedding ring was way too tight (got it at 120 lbs) and I could barely wear it for more than the workday (some days not at all). As of today it finally started to fit again. (It is still snug, but I was able to get it off after work without having to pry it off my finger) :laugh:

    It is really important to me to be in the best shape I can be by the age of 30. I want to be the "New Me At 30" hence my screen name (hahaha...not New Meat 30). In a perfect world, I would lose 20-30 lbs by summer and keep it off until my birthday in December. My goal would be to get a tummy tuck for my birthday (during my winter break from work). I know that surgery isn't for everyone, and I'm not looking at it as an easy way out. Unfortunately it is the only way I can get rid of the excess saggy skin I have as a result of a HUGE pregnancy (I'm only 5'2 and got up to 183+ lbs --- ALL in my belly), and two C-sections. The skin is what stopped me from losing more weight after having my son. Let's just say that (to me) it looks so bad that I haven't let my husband see me without a shirt on since before our son was born in 2008. :embarassed: (I know, TMI...but I'm nothing if not honest).

    Best of luck to all of your in your journeys.

    Here's to being the best looking 30 year olds on the block. :drinker:

    Angela, I also did Nutrisystem about 2 years ago, and had great success with it as well, but my weight has slowly crept back up. I don't want to go back on Nutrisystem as it was expensive and it really didn't teach me how to cook healthy choices for myself. I am using the basics of what I did learn now, so hopefully it will help.

    Kim, this site is addicting, but I suppose it has to be so that you can stay accountable for what you eat and exercise. I do have to say I am completely out of shape, and really need to find something to keep me entertained at the gym, today I was struggling!

    I went to one of my favorite restaurants last night and there menu is not exactly calorie friendly! ha ha ha ha... I was so under calorie count from the whole day and when I left that place (head held very high for not ordering a big fat Italian dinner but, a small portion greek salad!) I actually had almost 300 calories left to kill for the day. I managed to knock out another 150 or so but, left it at that. The biggest thing was the dinner experience. I love love love good food!!! Pastas and Pizza are one of my favorites!!! I was really glad to get over that small hump.

    Kim: Good Morning and I am so thankful you started this thread.

    Amy: I loved the results I got with nutrisystem but, it wasn't a long term fix. I am with you though I did take some of the stuff I learned. I am eating 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks and even if the calorie count is in balance still trying to balance out dairy, fruit, veggies, etc. I am hopeful I learned enough :)

    Victoria: Welcome!!! Your story was a great read!

    Great to see some additional moms joining us

    Potter Princess - Welcome, congrats on becoming a mom. I think its great you want to lose some before TTC. Shows you have the drive to do. We are really not sure if we're done or not but I told my hubby that I need to prove I can lose it now before thats even a though. I am feeling really comfortable with 2 now. What's your name? Maybe I missed it :)

    Victoria - Welcome, Other online friends just had tummy tucks too and they look amazing. The one just had twins, lost about 40 and had tons of extra skin. I never really thought I believed in them but now knowing people that have had them and seeing the before and after I totally understand. Good for you and good luck

    Amie- I never make it to the gym, I am sick of wasting money on it so we cancelled a long time ago. We have an ellipitcal at home so right now I'm just using that and the Wii Fit. Once the snow is gone I'll head out for runs and get ready for this long race.

    Angela - We went out to eat last night too. It was my sisters bday. Not my perfect place but I still had a good time. I really didn't keep track of my calories yesterday though. I snacked a little on the bloomen onion (I know not healthy at all) had a side salad, baked potatoe, and only managed to eat 3 oz of my steak. I just couldn't eat it. It's like I've already trained my body not to need as much.

    So my Tuesday off wasn't too bad. I actually didn't snack at all, just nibbled on veggies and like I told Angela we did go out so I probably went off there. AF is here as well and I've slacked the past 2 days working out. I'll get back on tonight. It's not like I don't want to work out with AF its honestly I have so much to do in so little time and my 18 month old is sick. Drains my energy but I will get on tonight.

    Hey, I'm Ashley and I turned 30 the end of September. I've never been extremely overweight but always been trying to lose 5ish pounds. That 5 has turned to 10 and I don't want it to turn to 20 when I'm in my 40's. I've been pretty healthy the majority of my life - healthy eating, working out regularly, but I am also one that doesn't have a problem going out to dinner Friday and Saturday and eating rich foods and drinking lots of wine. I want to find a balance where I can still enjoy life but hold myself accoutable most of the time.

    I'm running 3 races coming up soon - 5k, 10k and 10 miler. I did these races in 2007, 2008, and 5k and 10k last year. I went through some life changes and am finally in a stable place where I want to stay on track with my training and working out and I'm determined to keep my eating and drinking more at bay. I may even do a mini marathon in April is training goes well over hte next couple months.

    My husband and I are also looking to have a baby soon and I have seen my sister slowly lose her baby weight over about 2 years. She looks great and is on here too and very motivated, but I have seen her struggle so want to get to a good place before I get pregnant. Losing weight has never been easy for me.

    The 30's is the new 20's..... Good luck to all!

    I turned 30 last August and need to lose quite a bit to be in a healthy range. I know it will take time, but I'm committed to doing it. What other choice do I have?

    Looking forward to charting my progress along with the rest of you!

    Welcome girls

    Ashley - I used to be a runner, not really for races but just loved it. Now, not so much. I enjoy once I start but it was always the starting. I run 5K's often. Normally never train, I know thats bad. I always sign up saying I will train and continue but don't. I'm finally on track now. Just signed up for my first half marathon in Oct. I'll run the mountain goat 10 mile in the summer too to prepare. I'm a bit terrified, its huge hill for the 10 mile but I watched people finish it last year double or triple my size. Right now I'm just using the elliptical but I'll move to outside running come March.

    Achart - Welcome, make sure to fill us in more about you. It's easier to remember names that screennames. Glad you came on over

    Sorry you will all notive I'm a big online talker. I work at an office job 4 days a week and constantly online. I'm a huge producer but I always find time to be online too. Nice perks. I'll be MIA weekends though. We're the crazy family with no home computer right now. We're both online so much with work or our phones we do not have one right now but our 4 year old is eager to learn so its time to start looking to get a new lap top. I love these dicussion board.

    My name is Annie. I also work at a desk all day, so being sedentary is unfortuantely a way of life for me from 8 to 5. I'm not married and I don't have any children. My motivation is my health. Diabetes runs in my family along with heart disease and high cholesterol. Fortunately, all my diabetes tests come back within the normal range. However, my cholesterol levels are high. Besides wanting to get into a healthy weight range, I'd really like to fit into smaller clothes! Ah vanity.

    My name is Robin and I am 31 years old. I lost 40 lbs without MyFitnessPal but decided to join to keep better track of my caloric intake. Diabetes, Heart Disease and other Heart troubles runs ramptant in my family. My father died at 51 from a heart attack and several of my aunts and uncles have had heart attacks in their early 50s. I want to be a healthy role model for my children and beat the health problems that are plaguing my family. Of course, the smaller clothes and compliments from my hubby are excellent motivators as well!:wink:

    This is perfect!!

    I am hoping to be 20 pounds lighter by my 31st Birthday (May)! :) MFP has been a great way to get started! I have learned so much from everyone on here, which is making my goal seem possible now!

    I am a mother of 3 extremely busy kids and found it hard to work myself into the mix between football, baseball, wrestling, soccer, softball, gymnastics, dance, team mom...volunteering...etc, etc...but I'm finding a way to do it! :) As hard as it seems sometimes...I feel SOOO much better!

    Thanks for starting this group!

    What a great group! My name is Colleen and I'm 31 and have already lost almost 10 lbs since November, with about 10 to go to reach my first goal weight. When I was younger, I never had to do much to stay thin and was very active, but once I finished graduate school and started working at a desk all day, I packed on the pounds. Always made excuses about why I couldn't lose weight and genuinely thought I was just destined to be "chunky" all my life until this past November when I got fed up and decided to make a change. I want my body to finally reflect the "real" me...fun loving, sporty and active. My birthday is in June, so a huge bonus would be making my final goal weight (#3 in my sig) by then!!

    Looking forward to moving toward my goals with all of you!!

    Nice - Love that more moms are finding us. Let's keep this group going. I know it helps me. When I get bored at work I want to eat. Instead I'm wasting company time looking online.. lol

    Robin - Welcome, GREAT JOB on losing 40 already on your own. Thats amazing!!!

    Jmncolts- Welcome, I'm like you its hard but once I get done working out I feel wonderful. It's hard starting but the end is great. Sounds crazy but I can't wait for all the craziness with kids sports. Mine are young right now. 4 and 18 months but I'm already running around crazy. Working 40 hours, running a moms group and staying very active with my kids. We just love to be on the move. DH is excited for my son to start soccer this weekend but more excited about coaching t-ball this year. I have to say too, love your shirt in your pic. I need new clothes too bad.

    Colleen - I'm a June bday too. Hopefully we can celebrate come then skinner girls.

    Thanks for inviting me to the group Kim (KimKoz)! This is awesome and just what I need to expand my MFP friend base... we're all in this together and that's always a good motivator... :) I suppose I should introduce myself, so here goes:

    I will be 30 on June 4th... it's closing in ladies!

    I decided in October to really buckle down and work towards a goal to simply be healthy, fit, and revamp my positive outlook. I figured with 8 months to go-- I could make my 30th birthday the big milestone/goal :) Fast-forward a few months and here we are, nearly 4 months out and I can confidently say I'm well on my way to meet my goal, perhaps surpass it (assuming I can stay focused).

    I ballooned in college, then after realizing that -- dropped about 80lbs. To make it happen, I did Slim-Fast, took Hydroxycut (EEK!), and did step aerobics. I've slowly gained a little over 30 of that back over the years, mainly because I got a little lazy, but also because I went from a fairly active job to one where I sit at a desk (sound familiar ladies!?) and I'm pretty sure my thighs/butt grew with the chair! This time I am doing it right. No more processed meals for dinner while at work (that includes Smart Ones, Lean Cuisines, & Healthy Choice), I gave up diet soda & artificial sweetners (most Crystal Light packets), and am really focusing on protein, complex carbs, lots of veggies, some fruit... :) My fitness goal is a half marathon on February 27th in Orlando, FL. I have never been a runner, but by gosh I WILL DO THIS even if it's the hardest thing I've ever done (and it's looking that way... haha). I can probably say that b/c I don't have kids though... lots of moms in this group would say child-birth tops 13.1 miles! I'm not married either, but someday I hope to get there!

    Glad to be a part of this group - good luck everyone - let's do this! :)

    This explains my journey and my new "Fit & Fabulous" goal.... http://livinginthemoment81.blogspot.com/2010/10/fit-fabulous.html

    Jessmsu81 - Welcome. I turn 30 June 3rd. 13.1 is a huge goal. I just wanted to add that child birth is nothing like a 13.1. No I haven't ran the 13.1 yet but I have given birth twice. Once pregnant, childbirth is going to happen, no changing it but with the race you can stop and quit. It's harder to stay motivated and make yourself do it. No quiting in childbirth so for me weight loss and the marathon are much harder personally. Thats just my opinion. Not that childbirth was a breeze just don't want you to put down your goals because they are definantly hard ones.

    I had a huge success today. I tried on my work dress pants size 10 and they fit !!! I'm in them now. I really do not think I've been in these since having my son 4 years ago. I lost weight quick with him but as soon as I quick my fast pace job for the desk job I gained and went right back to the 12's.. So I'm thrilled to be in 10's after 4 years. Thankfully they are only work pants and black really doesn't go out of style. Now if I could just lose more and get some new cute clothes. I'm tried of baggy sweaters.

    I had a bad day yesterday, calorie wise. Went to a friend's house for a dinner party and did alright with the food - it's the 3 glasses of red wine and 3 squares of chocolate that put me 431 calories over! And I didn't workout yesterday. Normally (pre-MFP), I would get discouraged and tell myself that this is a fuitless effort, that I will always be fat, and there isn't anything I can do about it. But I realize the truth is that today is a new day. I have the opportunity to do better today. I have a happy hour event tonight. Will power, I need you more than ever! (Fortunately, I haven't a lot of money to spend on a trip to the bar, so I can't overindulge!)

    Jess - Good luck with your training. I have done two 10 mile races and while it was one of the hardest things I've done physically (although I have never given birth :) ) it gave me huge satisfaction and I was very proud. It's a little of a love hate thing. The last 2 miles were brutal but now I look back all the time and thing about my perseverance. I am still of the fence about a mini- marathon in April.

    Achart - you're right, we all have bad days. My first weekend of logging, I went over my calories almost 1000 calories on Friday! I hadn't worked out and went for wine after my hair appointment, then dinner with more wine and finished the night off with 3 pints of Bells Winter Ale. And I got up the next day and worked out, ate better (althought still a little over on Saturday), and then worked out again on Sunday and was back on track by Monday. There's not point in beating yourself up over your "bad days". Tomorrow is another chance to do it better. And be proud of all the good things you've done this week! This is coming from someone who is very hard on themselves and is still retraining and trying to find a balance between coming down hard on myself for every little thing and throwing my hands up in the air and saying, "screw it all, I've made too many mistakes, I might as well quit!" Besides, if it was red wine and dark chocolate, at least you got some antioxidants! OH, and stick to wine or vodka an soda with lemon and lime at happy hour. That's my plan for tonight. :)

    OOps! I forgot my name :) Call me Jaycee!!
    I'm so glad we've got so many mommies on here!
    Now tell me ladies is it just me or do you get the feeling that even when you get back to your pre preggo weight your pants just aren't going to fit the same? Mine fit, but so much differently than before and it's a bit frustrating....

    Anyone use the Wii Zumba game? I keep debating buying it because I'm terrible at leaving my little one and going to the gym. Just don't want to shell out the $40 if it doesn't give an adequete workout.

    Will power to you ladies today!!! I know the lure of a good margarita or cold beer!

    Jaycee - Can you possibly rent the game before you buy? I totally forgot there are rental stores still out there when we were debating about buying my son a wii game. Everyone suggested renting first and I'm glad we did. The game we planned on getting would not have worked. I use the wii fit here and there but not a huge fan. I've been wanting to try Zumba.

    Annie - It's a new day. Stay strong at Happy Hour tonight. I still enjoy some drinks here and there but I try and limit to the weekend. I actually went a basketball game last week. Probably drank 4-5 beers, it was a fun day. By the time 5pm rolled around my legs were killing me and my hubby and I determined I was dehyrated. I didn't drink any water just enjoyed the beers at a noon game. I chugged some and took some pain meds and it stopped. I drink way too much water at work weekdays but I find it hard to remember on weekends then mixed with drinks, it wasn't good. We still go out, I just try to work out and eat well weekdays. Heck we were just planning St. Patty's and Winterfest Martini Mix Off.. lol. I'll have to save myself for those days.

    I want to join this group too! I'm actually friends with Potter Princess and we both just had babies. My daughter is almost 9 months old. When I joined MFP I was still carrying 25 lbs of baby weight. I've since lost a total of 5 an have 20 more to go before June. I'd like to lost the rest before my big 32 bday! I didnt have a big 30th bday because we were getting married, 31 was no biggie because I was a new mommy so hopefully 32 will be a better me! Then my husband and I would like to TTC agan!

    Hi guys! I hope you don't mind a 35 year-old joining! I am 5' 1" and I weigh 193 lbs. I met my boyfriend about two years ago and needless to say, we have been very happy ever since. However, this bliss has added about 20 lbs to my slight frame. It's like adding 40 for the average height person! I want to lose 45 lbs this year! I started walking on my elliptical this week and doing one round of sun salutation at a count of five breaths for a cool down. Since Sunday, I have worked out 3 times. Hoping to find a positive and supportive environment here! Let's lose it together!

    My other intersts include cooking, reading, FB, live music and movies.

    Hey! I'm hitting 30 at the end of July. My goal is to lose 50 lbs by my 30th birthday. I have 36 lbs left to lose in the next six months. We are going on vacation in a few months and I want to lose 20 more lbs before that and the rest by July. If I do reach my "goal" weight hubby promised to take me back to California for a vacation next year. So that's my inspiration for right now :o)

    Bivengrl - Love your pic, your daughter is so cute. Congrats on trying to lose and perfect timing too before TTC. I'm not sure if we had more of a problem or now TTC #2 due to weight. We had no problems with #1 but #2 took 11 months. Glad you decided to come over.

    Karitrad - Welcome and glad to have you over with us.

    Jhann16 - I want your goal too.. Cali trip would be wonderful.

    Wow, I decided for some motivation to look at pictures from our honeymoon.. I posted one from our wedding shower. I think I was and 8 then. Thats my goal. Am I crazy to think maybe one day I could be in a bikini again, not super skinny. I've always had thights but more athletic thights. Thankfully the kids didn't give me any stretch marks so now its all on me to get this belly flat.
