    I'm 34, in a long-term relationship (unmarried though), and no human kids. I did just adopt a kitten (and I had a cat or two already). I'm not super-social, but this caught my eye because I'm struggling with my 30-something identity! I feel like we're the overlooked age group!

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm Jennifer and I turned 30 in April. I started my fitness journey in October 2011 and lost 60lbs. This summer I lost track of everything and gained 15lbs back. I started C25K and just completed my 3rd 5k in November. I achieved my best PR ever and have found a love for running! I'm also a Jillian Michaels nut!! I am currently doing the 30 day shred. I have almost lost the 15lbs I gained and am looking to lose another 30lbs. I live in Kansas City, Mo with my husband of 7 years and our 3 boys.
    It's nice to see so many people just like me on here! :happy:

    Hi 30 Somethings...
    This is not my first time here however I am ready now. I had some slow success last time and had shoulder surgery that became very complicated so after 7 months I can finally think about exercise other than walking (which I hate-boring).

    I am 37 and closer to 38 in March. I am finally in a good place with life. I also consider myself a newlywed-married on 12/31/09 so we will be celebrating 3 years in December. I have been out of school (just finished my masters in nursing) for a year and working full time in my dream job for 2 years.

    I have two daughters from my previous marriage and our puppy-a black lab named Jameson who is definitely part of the family. Jameson is almost three-got him as a wedding present to the girls.
    I am so much happier in my thirties...confident in who I am and what I am about...just need to live a healthier lifestyle.
    Thank you for listening...

    Hi! I'm Mandy. I'm 31 yeats old, and I've been on MFP for about a month. I'm doing pretty well with it and having a blast so far. I'm single and have a fur baby, but none of the human variety. I've always been the chubby one, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results this site seems to be bringing. Nice to meet you all!

    Hello all - I'm Julie, I'm 38, married no kids. I've been doing MFP via my phone for a couple of months and only this week decided to investigate the community boards. 20 pounds gone and many still to go :) Would love to have some friends here for a little support group, please feel free to add me.

    Hi all! Looking for new friends. Im 31, married, no kids but 5 big dogs keep me mighty busy. I have done MFP in the past and lost a lot of weight, but stopping tracking was a kiss of death for me. Now I am back on the wagon and dont intend to ever fall back off. I am a Seattle area veterinarian, and I love dog sports, outdoor activities, and i am a pinterest junkie!

    Hi guys! Im Kara. Im from TX (Dallas area) and have been on MFP for 90 days now. I started this journey in April and have lost 66 lbs so far. I am single, never married and no children, all by choice. I look forward to being more involved in the community as opposed to just logging from my phone.

    I'm 34 but have a lot of medical problems. I have gained weight from medication and in ability to be very physically active. I am working on loosing it and also reducing/eliminating gluten and sugar from my diet as it could help some with my chronic pain. I am open to suggestions on good foods to eat to accomplish this.

    Hey y'all! I'm Jeff. I'm 36, married with a 19-y/o stepdaughter, and two sons ages 7 and 5. I've been on MFP for about a year. I dropped 20 pounds early in 2012 but I've gained a few back, so here I am again! :)
