Hi my name is Kate, I'm 30 on my way to 31 in a few months. I must be honest, I am very embarrassed about how big I have become. My husband is very supportive and is cheering me on whatever I choose to do. In some ways I blame me being sick on getting this big but in all reality it's mostly my own fault. The medicine didn't help but I can't stay away from sweets. I started this app a bit ago but I would start and stop when I wasn't feeling good then just stopped because I became lazy.

I am ready for a change and I'm willing to do anything to loose this weight. I do need support because i have tried doing this on my own and failed numerous times. I thank you for allowing me into this group and I look forward to my new journey.

Hiya, My name's Angela, Im 32 (33 in March) and Im from New Zealand. Ive been on MFP for about 6mths and have lost about 20kgs (I think thats about 40lb?). Still have 15kg to go to get into my healthy weight range. Most of my exercise is running and cycling. Married, no kids, but have 2 cats and 4 chickens. Work full time and study part time extramurally. So free time is at a premium even without kids...

Hi everyone I'm Joe. I am 35 years old. I started MFP back in late September 2014. I used it until October and got lazy. I went from 155 lbs - 167 lbs by the end of November.

At the end of November I got so sick of the way I looked, and felt.
So I started tracking my food, calorie intakes, and Joined the December & January Weight loss challenge.

Currently I am doing the February weight loss challenge, and 20 By Easter Challenge (140 lbs goal weight)

In two months I have went from 167 lbs - 152 lbs (15 pounds lost)

My goal is to be at my ultimate goal weight of 118 lbs by August 2015. Before my 36th birthday!

Mslove9801

Hi, I am 36, live in Washington state and just recently got divorced. I put on too much weight while I was married after having kids and I am determined to get healthy this year!

I am doing clean eating, intervals on the treadmill, yoga, walking my dogs and am thinking of adding weight lifting, but there are only so many hours in the day! I also work and go to school full time along with being a mom to two teenage boys. Writing this down makes my life look so much busier than it is! I make sure to take time for myself and once a week I just veg on the couch to decompress for a few hours with a good book or every once in awhile a Netflix marathon

Nice to meet you all!

Hi everyone! I'm Steph, I'm 31 and I'm ready for a change. I am hoping to find some friends on here to help keep me motivated through the loooong weight loss journey I have ahead of me. Feel free to add me. I think I'm a good friend in real life, so I'm pretty sure I'll be a good MFP friend too. We can take on our weight loss goals together. Yay.

Hi Everyone! My name is Agata, turning 35 in July, currently living in London. Struggling with my weight all my life pretty much and now being the heaviest ever - 205 pounds. Looking to loose 40 with healthier diet and mix of running and weights. Looking forward to doing it with you guys :-)

Greetings all. My name is Alex, 34 and grew up in the Rocky Mountains doing high impact sports (mountain biking, skiing, hockey) so my body has a few issues that would have been nice to have avoided for a few more decades, haha. Currently a little overweight and looking to balance everything back out. Unfortunately due to injury (L1/L2 disc virtually disintegrated, and very long recovery from breaking/severely bruising both heels) I need to be careful what I do for activity. I used to bike to work daily until my back started flaring up again, so I am going to take an attack at this more from the kitchen side and hope to get some good recommendations on exercises that I can still do without hurting myself and food choices (pescetarian). It certainly helps with anything to have a community as opposed to soloing it.

tl;dr

Hi Everybody!

giardiniera

Hi all, second time round at MFP, first time i did a keto diet and lost heaps of weight fast, then put it all back on again and then some. Im Australian, in Florence, Italy and mother to a 3 year old girl. I figure I cant keep using the baby weight excuse anymore! Would love new friends so add me if youre positive about getting to a healthier place. I saw someone wrote that they want to get out of their 30s fitter than when they went in. Totally!

Hi everyone, I am Shelly...I am 35, married, I have an 8-year old daughter and 2 cats. I lost 65+ lbs on Weight Watchers over 7 years ago and have mostly kept it off but I am now trying to work to reshape my body and lower my body fat percentage. I love to power walk, hike and do things outside but it's freezing in Ohio now so I have been doing walking/yoga/Jillian Michael's DVD's and want to start the New Rules of Lifting program.

Hello All,
My name is Tricia, I am from BC Canada. Turned 30 in September.

I just got married in June 2014, and my husband and I are wanting to start trying for a family later this year. I was down to 230lbs at my wedding. (had lost over 30lbs)

I gain about 10 or so lbs back in 2014 AFTER my wedding and 20lbs after a tragic event at the beginning of 2015, I realised I needed something positive to focus on. Do I decided I need to focus on getting healthy for myself, my family and my future family, ideally I would like to be a lot healthier before we start trying for a baby.

SW: 265 - Feb 1st/2015
CW: 258 (on day 9 of a 100day healthy challenge, im down 4lbs since the start of that)
GOAL: Lose 100lbs but first goal is to get into ONEderland.

If anyone want to add me feel free just send a message with your request that your from this group.

Cheers
Best of luck to you all

jayandliz27

Hi, everyone! I just joined this group today. My name is Liz and I live in Texas. I am 37, married going on 15 yrs, two daughters (14 and 8), one cat and one chinchilla. (Yes, chinchilla hehe)

When I was a kid, I was insanely thin, without doing anything really to get that way. I got made fun a lot about being so skinny for some reason. Guess kids are mean about whatever they can be mean about! Anyway, I actually had a huge appetite and grew up (like many people) in the "clean your plate" kind of family. When I was a teenager, I was still very thin but started to get some shape at least. I was physically active, in dance and swimming. In my early 20's I think I started putting on about 5 lbs a year, then got married, got pregnant and started putting on about 10 lbs per year. I stopped working out as often and wasn't watching what I ate. I have always loved comfort foods...southern style, and I continued to eat a lot of that! I dieted here and there but would always go back to the old eating ways, which honestly was how I have always eaten, even when I was skinny. Eventually, about 6 months ago, I got up to about 225 lbs. yikes! I cut out some of the junk food and went down to 215, when I started back on this site.

I've been back on MFP for about 23 or so days and have gotten down to about 206.4 lbs. my ultimate goal is 130-135, since I have a small frame and am only 5'4 and a half. I've been doing super well, working out (lightly for the most part) almost every day and keeping under my calorie goal. I think my stomach has shrank down a bit, as I finally seem to get full more quickly. Overall, I'm really excited to get to the maintenance point, though I know that will take some time to get there. So far MFP members seem to be super supportive and really great at trying to keep people positive and motivated. Loving this app!!

Jojo2k11

Hi all, I'm 33, will be 34 this year. I'm in need of the "long haul" type support as I have over 100 lbs to lose. My health isn't the best, for last two years I've had COPD which could have been a misdiagnosis and sleep apnea, which couldn't be fixed until 5 car accidents took place.
Right now I just want to work out but my cough is not one to be thrust aside. It doesn't play well with exercise and refuses to leave.
Happily, MFP has helped me lose over 30 lbs so far and I want to keep going.....ISO support!

Malyss13

Hello everyone! I am 32 and really struggling to get and stay motivated... I am the heaviest I have ever been and the lowest psychologically... Just down and out. I am trying this online stuff to see about getting some motivation and support along the way. Add me and let's motivate one another!

Hi. My name is Amy. I am 32 years old, and the single mother of 3 beautiful children. I currently enrolled to go back to school and get my Bachelors of Science in Healthcare Management degree. I could use some supportive friends to help me during this difficult journey and that I could also support in return.
