Hi my name is Andrea, and I've just lost the last 15lbs of my baby weight. I'm now on a mission to lose my "getting married" weight and my hubby has given me a huge incentive! If I reach my goal weight then he'll buy me a whole new wardrobe woo-hoo!!!! Glad to be here, I need some friends to keep me motivated though so message me!

Right,,,off to the gym....

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:

Welcome to the group Kasi. The 3 month Self challenge is basically a weekly weigh in (Fridays). I call it a challenge simply because I want us to challenge ourselves to get to our goal. It is open to anyone at any time. Just private message me your starting weight and any goal you may have.

Oh, by the way if you have ideas about challenges feel free to share them with us or post a new thread. The more the merrier.

Hello,

My name is Dustin, I was on MFP before, I am 32 and I have yo-yo'd most of my life. I am back on here counting calories, and I can also tell how much more difficult it is in my 30s to lose weight. I've got to do this for life this time! Nice to meet you guys and feel free to add me as a Pal!

Hi all, I'm Kathy, I am an up and down sort of weight girl. Did my body fat recently and have decided I have to stick to tracking my food and exercise or I will be even more out of control. I am currently, 70kg and 165 cm tall. My aim below 60 kg by new year. I have two great children. I really struggle to be a good mum, my boy has aspergers and I find I drink too much wine to wind down and cope. I am looking to bring balance, control and sexiness back into my life.

Hi Everyone. I'm Lindsay. I just turned 31 and the doctor has said I'm officially too big to conceive a baby and won't administer any therapy to help us build a family until I've lost 50 lbs. Holy crap! After spending some time healing my pride, I'm now ready to take on the challenge! In the last month, I've lost 10 lbs and I'm motivated to keep going! I've adopted the Paleo lifestyle and I work out 5-6 days a week ranging from cardio, weights, ballroom dance, baseball, stairs, etc. Having a core group of friends who are also in the same mindset has helped and I hope to expland that friendzone by coming here.

Hi everyone; My name is Jenny and I joined this site last week and am very happy to have so many like minded peers working hard and looking good. I am 38 years old and lost my way awhile back eating junk food to my hearts content. I have been someone who loses and gains the same weight so I know what hard work it takes to make it happen. The last time I had to do it all alone. This time I am so glad to have found this site and look forward to making many new friends. I am so glad that we are not only able to share our stories but help and encourage one another!

Hello,

My name is Victor and I'm 36. I would love to lose 30-40 pounds but I just had knee surgery about 7 weeks ago and I am still using one crutch so it will be slow going. Just trying to get back to where I was!

JenS0301

Hi everyone! I am Jen, just turned 30 a few months ago. This is my 10th week of working out and eating healthy at a steady pace. I see huge improvements in myself already and it just makes me want to challenge myself even more. I set weekly goals and it helps keep the motivation going for me. I am looking to loose about 50 lbs to get to my goal weight. I have lost 10lbs in 10 weeks and I also do measurements because sometimes the scale can be horrible to look at. I have decided it is time to put myself first for a while.

Hello,

My name's Michelle and I'm 36. I've been a big girl almost all of my adult life. The last couple of years I've not bothered to worry about it because my level of activity went up and I was losing a bit of weight (about a size a year) but now that I'm closer to 40 than I am 30 I'm feeling like I should get myself in better shape.

Just wanted to say hello and hope to get to know other 30-somethings who want to get healthier.

Hi! My name is Jen. I am a recently divorced mother of 2 ready for a change. Now that I'm single again, I need to start thinking about the dreaded D word again...DATING! :laugh: With so many insecurities, I don't dare put myself out there. I need more confidence and know that getting healthy inside and out will be the key to this. I don't have much of a support group. My sister just yesterday turned her nose up to my smoothie and was very loud and vocal about her dislike of my want to change. I want and need to change but I desperately need support. Someone told me MFP was the way to go so I joined.

Hi. I'm Sue. I'm almost 30yo, married, mother of 2 daughters. After having kids... losing weight was impossible. My eating habits didn't help. I started religiously hitting the gym last year. The weight still did not come off after 4 months into it. I started to get discouraged. I joined a weight loss challenge at my gym and signed up with MFP. I started losing weight! I have gone from a size 12/10 to a size 6 & down 17lbs. It's a battle, but we all can do it. I'm here for support so if you'd like to track or add me, feel free

lifebywendy

Hi! I'm Wendy 38, married 19 yrs, mother of 3 (15, 9, 8). I have been overweight all my life but now that I am nearing 40, I really need to get myself in gear and healthy. I'm a SAHM so it's just a little challenging (being home all day). My motivation levels go up and down all the time, I hit an all time high when I lose lbs and see/feel the difference in my clothes, but then I will hit 2 or 3 weeks of nothing and I get mad and feel like just quitting (pity party). So, I need a group that is going through the same thing I am and can help me when I feel at my lowest.
