    Hi, my name is Sam. I am 33, wifey and momma of 5 amazingly awesome kiddos. I started using MFP a little over 2 years ago. Lost 75+ pounds, but I have put back on about 15...ready to get the final 15 off and keep them off this time.

    Absolutely going to join the measurements thread. Excited to get involved in this group...looks like there is a lot of great stuff and fun going on here.

    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! :D

    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. :smile:

    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!

So will see how that goes lol (heard it's pretty intense?). Looking forward to addressing my diet & hopefully getting some mutual support from folks :)

    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!

    Hi my name is Talena and I am in Dallas, Texas. In the last 3 years I've gained over 30pds. I went from a very active job to sitting at a desk. I've always been around 150 but now that I find myself slowly creeping to the 200 mark I know I need to get serious about my diet and get back to my comfortable weight. Today is a fresh Start!!!

    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!

    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.
