Hi there, my name is Laura and I am 34. I have struggled with my weight since my divorce 8 years ago. I have never considered myself 'fat' per say, that was until I had to start wearing plus size clothing.
I moved to Houston late 2003 w/i at 138 pounds, happily married with 2 kids. My then husband moved to Korea with the Army and 4 months later he wanted a divorce. He came home with a Filipino wife so....here I am in Houston with 2 small kids and being on my own for the first time since 1995. I maintained a fairly healthy weight until I injured my knee in 2008 and then I stopped doing all the things I use to do. I have put on 67 pounds somewhere between 2003 to 2012. Most of that (about 40 pounds came on after knee surgery). My kids are now 15 and 12 with July birthdays and life is always blissfully chaotic. I found myself having to shop in the Plus Size section and thought to myself, whoa...wait a minute, I am 34 and far too young to be this heavy, not that there is an age to be heavy.
(Note: Plus Size clothing doesn't fit me very well, runs a little big but regular size clothing fits too small, talk about annoying and frustrating).
So here I am on my path to finding a healthier me. So far I have lost my first 15 pounds and I am already feeling so much better. I am looking to lose another 40 or so. I don't really date much due to my hectic schedule. I do however have a very social life with friends and doing fun things on the weekend with my kids, which is what can sabotage my weight loss goals but I am trying to learn how to not let it.
I am now trying to put myself first more often and start to take care of me. Please feel free to request me as I enjoy seeing so many others succeed and make positive changes in their lives. It motivates me.
Cheers,
Laura0 -

Hello!!! I'm 34. On 2nd marriage (1st marriage to high school sweetheart was NOT healthy; rollar coaster emotionally, then he died in work related accident 3 mos after we split in Jan 2006). God had a plan for me though and my life is SOOOO much better now.
Have 17 yr old "bonus son" (from 1st marriage), 15 yr old daughter, 11 yr old bonus daughter (from this marriage), and 7 yr old son who is all boy and drives me crazy!
My relationship with God, my family, and my friends are my main things in life. Oh..and that work thing..Boring desk job! As we all do, need to spend a little more time on ME!
Married 10/10/10 to a cousin of my best friend / neighbor growing up. So, he and I have been good friends since I was 10..NEVER knew he had a "thing" for me. BFF finally pushed us together 3 years ago..now I'm living my happily ever after. I've been on a weight yo-yo my whole life. I was always "thick" and muscular and just accepted that my body would be 150-160 always. With help of MFP, I've dropped down to 141 (at my lowest) from 170. I haven't weighed below 140 since 4th or 5th grade!
Recently tried to quit smoking (not 100% successful, still sneak one when my son really stresses me out), and gained 10 lbs. Just started a 15 lb challenge with some family members..so I reset my weight on here to "0 lost" yesterday to track the 15 lbs. My main goal is to shed these last 15 lbs, kill my desire to smoke, and tone up.
In 2006, I weighed 150-155 and had lower body fat % and looked better the mirror when I was circuit training daily. Would like to get back to that "I actually like myself naked" state of mind! Of course..that was 5 years ago..we all know our body is changing!
So..lose the last 15, muscle up, reduce body fat%, and WANT to not smoke! And continue on this healthy journey with as many friends and loved ones I can take with me!
Have a healthy week!!!
"Bonus child" Hahah!!! I guess I have one of those as well. I just remain in that same "roller coaster" marriage with the two extra kiddos to boot..??
My fitness commitment started in January, some 30 pounds ago! I only found this website about 14 of thouse pounds ago.
Keep it up!0 -

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.0 -

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! 0 -
