    Hi, I'm Casey, and I'm in Northern Nevada. I've been a member of MFP since Sept. 2012 and have lost about 18 #'s.

    I was doing great keeping a food journal and exercising daily with some favorite videos on youtube. Then, I moved to Nevada. I'm not cooking my own meals 100% of the time, so I don't know exactly what I'm eating (this is true a dinner time only). And, what can I say about exercising besides, "ahhhhh". My internet connection is so slow where I am youtube videos are useless and sadly I don't have the motivation to do it without them.

    I've become more accountable in the last week where food is concerned. I'm using my food scale again when I build deli sandwuches for lunch. I'm a member of a daily challenge group, and I try to tune in at least once a week for exercise stuff. These things don't measure up to where I used to be, but I'm trying to get back on track by taking baby steps.

    Hello...31 year old, mom of two, full time employee, great friend, bad housekeeper and ready to get serious about my weight and fitness. Looks like this might be a great group for me to find helpful tips, encouragement and others looking for the same!

    At 5'4", I weighed in at my heaviest this morning at 169.8. Yes, those .2 pounds totally count! I'm hoping to loose 5-10 pounds by summer and keep going until I hit 140. It's a lofty goal, so I'll need help to keep me on track!

    Hi there! I am a 30 year old mom that is ready to see results! I gained almost 60 lbs with my daughter and have never felt more out of place in my life. I am looking to get down in the 140s, but my goal right now is to just stick with something for longer than a couple days. I look forward to learning something new!

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm Bebe, a 31 year old woman from San Francisco, but living in France. I've struggled with my weight since childhood, but realized quite recently that being overweight is inhibiting me from living my best life.. Anywho, I'm looking to connect with others along the way to gaining health :)

    Hello!

    My name is Julie and I'm 33 years old. I just started logging back onto MFP about 3 weeks ago but I have been working on losing weight since the end of January. Now that I am feeling confident with my eating habits I am working on adding in exercise.

    Hi Jo -
    I just started this site earlier this week. I am working on bringing my weight down to a healthier weight. I hope focusing on creating balance and moderation in my life (work, play, and health) will reach that goal for me. I looked through some of your posts, and your group seems positive & motivated. Thank you!

    Hey everyone,

    My name is Joni and I've decided to take action before its too late. I don't have a lot to lose (just the 10lbs I put on recently). I've never been a big girl but because I'm short- the extra pounds tend not to sit too well on me. In my younger days I used to be able to shift the extra weight relatively quickly and without much effort (a tale a lot of you are familiar with I'm sure) but these days its much harder. Also I recently had to change my method of contraception (I've gone from the pill to the depo provera injection) resulting in me finding it extremely hard to control how much I throw down my neck most of the time!! So I've decided that if I cant stop eating I should at least try to counter act this by starting up running again- plus the further away from the fridge I am- the better!

    Good luck to all my fellow thirty somethings - any advise would be much appreciated!:smile::happy:

    hello, my name is Jen.. i'm 36..divorced..with 4 kids.. (girls at that!) i have always been overweight but it seems after every kid I lose some weight, but I always gain it back after i stop breast feeding. well the same happened with the last baby. I was up to 171 lbs which is the most i'd been in at least 5 years. I decieded I was tired of feeling tired and bad about myself. I went on to start eating clean, and counting my calories. Since March 1st, i've lost 20lbs! Yay! I've bene stuck at a plateau and it seems EVERYtime I lose weight I get stuck at 150.. I can't budge past it..and I don't budge over it. Its VERY frustrating!

    I eat the healthiest I think I have EVER eat, and I'm trying to beat this plateau. I work out about 3 days a week, mostly doing Jillian michaels videos.. either no more trouble zones, or the metabolism one. My job is a grocery job, and i'm on my feet 8+ hours a day, lifting, moving, walking, running, and skipping at times it seems! I dont even feel like I need a workout after that job! I'm attempting to up my protein and see if I can bust through the 150's. Can't wait to read everyones posts!

    Hello, I'm Kasi. I joined this group a while back but never actually opened a thread until today. Recently I've just been using MFP for the challenges. The seem to keep me focused but two of them just ended leaving me with time to venture out for other support systems. I added my name for the MIles Walked challenge/goal thing. What is the 3 month self challenge? Is it too late to join? I'm glad I finally decided to look into this group... lots of good stuff going on here:bigsmile:
