    Hello! Just joined this group. I think I'm way to late for the 3 month challenge, but will be here for the start of the next challenge!
    I'm 32, no kids, from NYC area, and am in a wonderful relationship. I was pretty fat in my 20's, but I drank a lot of beer! :drinker:
    Although I'm currently a pack-a-day smoker, I'm trying to be more health conscious. I plan to stop smoking everything on June 1st, but I'd prefer to be thin by then... But I'm 2 lbs. over my starting weight, so my big plan didn't work. :tongue:
    Anyway, happy to be here, glad to meet you all, and looking forward to losing weight with you guys and being an active member this group :smile:

    Hy everyone. I'm 31 and working to lose 35 pounds. I tend to be an on again, off again person when it comes to weightloss, but I'm at it again. Starting by exercising and back to tracking what I eat. Hope to get to know you guys :)

    Hello! I'm Kris, and I'm 30. I work full time at a small electric motor shop as the Vice President. I am a very happily married momma of 1 6yo son and 3 stepsons, 12, 13 and 18. We live for today because we are never granted tomorrow. Love to go out and have fun. Anything active is great for me. I had a complete abdominal hysterectomy 10/21/11 due to severe endometriosis. Since the surgery I have gained 40lbs! I went to my general doctor and asked for blood work a few weeks ago and found I had no vitamin D in me as well as being on the verge of hypothyriodism. So I got a D3 1000mg supplement I take daily which helps a ton with my mood and energy and completely changed my eating habits. I went from eating out for lunch at fast food 5 days a week as well as eating out at dinner type restaurants at least 4 nights a week to packing my lunch every work day which is 468 calories and cooking a healthy meal at home during the week as well and only eating out 1 night on the weekend. I completely cut out soda from my diet so that counts for most of my weight loss so far.

    I look forward to sharing and supporting my fellow 30 something weight loss buddies.

Maybe then I'll know where my 30's go :wink:

I am on the right path exercise wise however I still have a few struggles here and there with my food intake and choices.

    I am here but still not ready to admit I am 31! :) I am married, 2 kids: 7 year old and almost 1 year old. They both keep me way busy at home and I work full time. I also have a "third kid" . . . my husband. :D I am finding that after my second child, years later, is taking a lot longer to get this weight off than it did with my first one when I was 24. So . . . I'm here :D

    Hello! I'm Cindy and I am 30 years old. I am married and have three active boys: 8,6, &5. I had all three of those boys by the time that I was 25, so I have been looking forward to my thirties...it has just always felt like life would be more settled! At one point in my life I had lost 60 pounds, then I got pregnant again! Not sure what the heck happened with that pregnancy, but I pretty much started gaining all my weight back from the moment of conception! He had a lot of health issues when he was born and passed away at 5 months, almost 2 years ago now. Since his birth I have done nothing about my weight (he required quite an extended stay at a children's hospital for the first 12 weeks of his life and then his home care was quite extensive, so obviously that is where my focus was) so I gained all I had lost plus some extra. It's time to get back on track, get rid of the extra weight and work out my blues. My 10 year wedding anniversary is next June and I plan on looking HOT! :wink:

    Hello! I am happy to see that there is a group for us fabulous 30 year olds. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am 36 years old and I am a mom to three wonderful children who each have their own specific needs and so in between many appointments and providing them with the supports that they need, I have little to no time for myself, especially this last year. I am married to a wonderful man whom I have been married to for almost 14 years. He is a wonderful support and now that I am putting myself first for the first time, he has been even more supportive. I am a teacher and work hard to provide my students with activities that will provide them with a love for learning.

    So I started MFP a little over a week ago and I am down 8 pounds since Monday. have a long way to go with a goal of 104 pounds to loose. I am not sure if I have lost any since then as I made my husband hide my scale. I will have to wait until Monday to find out.

    Well that it is for me. I would love to add to my friends list, as I know that I will need all of the support that I can get. So if you are looking for a little support as well please send me a message and we can support one another.

    Cheers,
    Michelle

    Hi everyone !!

    I am 33 from NY. I just had a baby boy 4 months ago who is the love of my life ( I guess my husband is too haha ). After my wedding in January 2011 I decided to just eat whatever I wanted for a few months after obsessing for a year. Bad move , I gained 15 lbs then I got pregnant and gained alot more. Ive never been super skinny but I have always been in good shape , I have never been anywhere near this big.

    Anyway dont mean to ramble , I need to lose about 67 lbs and I am looking for any motivation I can get ! Feel free to friend me if you want , once I get going on the weight loss kick I usually do pretty good.
