    Hey everyone!

    I am Letia, I'm 30 years one month and six days old! And I'm 308 lbs. I have never been "average weight" being obese even in high school. My husband and I have joined a gym and are working hard to make the most of it for the next 2 months - if we do we'll get a long term membership through Costco.

    My husband and I live in CO with our two year old daughter, and are working out together.

    I'm excited to get to know everyone and help where I can, even if its just a listening....ear...reading eye? lol. I hope you all have good luck and happy fitness training!

    Hello 30-somethings. I'm 34, and I live in Maryland. I have been overweight for my entire life. There have been times when I've lost weight, only to gain it back, and I really want to get off of this roller coaster before 40.

    I joined MFP a while ago and didn't use the service for all it had to offer, so now here I am: Very ready to lose and connect with others in the same boat.

    Hey,
    I'm Claire, 31 from London.. I have an office job so sitting on my bum all day.. :(
    I am 203lbs (roughly) and I would like to get down to 126lbs eventually but taking it slow. I have been on here for 3 months now and have lost 18lbs.. so slowly but surely.. I have been overweight for over 5 years now and its time for a change! I recently got engaged and there is NO WAY I am getting married until I am happy with myself and can face EVERYONE looking at ME the whole day.. I love MFP it is the first thing I have stuck to and its so easy scanning in my food with my phone.. awesome place! :)
    I love readying everyones success stories and it really fills me with hope! especially seeing the photos that go with them.. I can not wait to get to the point where I can post my own pictures! :)

  • Hi all my name is Tara I will be 31 this year. I am married for almost 12 years have two wonderful daughters 11 and 7. I love being a mother an need to stay healthy. In the last four years I went from running a health club in Ohio where I trained with the best and ate clean everyday, to a desk job where I gained 70lbs...I was in denial and didn't even recognize myself anymore. Finally I said enough is enough and I'm on my way to reclaiming my body and my health. I am down almost 20lbs and love how MFP is helping me along the way.

  • HI, I am Jeanne. I am 34 and the mother of two daughters. I work a full time desk job and have for about a decade.
    I work in a wonderful office were we do potlucks and people bring in goodies and donuts all the time...

    I also own and run a paintball business from home and am an avid paintballer, scenario role player (which is like LARP with paint flying), costume designer and seamstress.

    Hi all! Just joined a few days ago and have committed to finally get rid of the stubborn 15 pounds of extra weight I have been carrying around. 10 of that was from when I stopped smoking....it's time to get serious!

    Hi! I'm trying to lose these last 10 pounds of baby weight that I gained with my daughter. I'm a single mother, so this is also motivation to get me out of the house and going to the gym more often--it's so easy to become antisocial as a single working parent! If anyone wants to add me as a friend, that would be appreciated because I need the accountability to log in and be active on this site :).

    Hello all... My name is Jeanne, I'm 36, married with 2 kids (2 1/2 girl & 5mth boy) work part time & we live in CT. joined MFP after the 2nd child to help loose some of the baby fat... Almost at my pre pregnancy weight, thanks to a little motivation from my husband and friends on here. The only thing left is to get my health back on track. I am tired of letting my chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) rule my life so I'm not so sick & tired and then I can do stuff with my family & friends :)

    Hello everyone, I'm 37 living in NJ. My goal is to tighten and tone. Just recently I've begun to see results through exercise and healthier eating. Hoping to be completely done by my October cruise date. Still enjoying life in my 30's!

    Hello everyone! I'm 32 and currently living in Indiana. I am a single mom of 2 wonderful little boys (5 and 3). I work a full time job and I am also in the Air Force Reserves. Life is busy for me most definitely. I started my weight loss journey in Feb 2012(somewhat) at 155 lbs. I fell off the wagon numerous times and finally got back on with motivation and dedication April 11, 2012. My current weight as of this morning was 141.6 and I am happy with the changes in my body so far! There really isn't a deadline for me as to when I reach my goal weight (115-120), I'm just taking it day by day and working on my over all health and fitness. On May 6th I took my military physical fitness test and passed with my highest score in 11 years of 87.6%!

    I wish everyone success in their journey and if you ever need some motivation to get in the gym, look me up.... it's one of my favorite places to be these days :happy:
