Hello....nice to meet you!

Mellie289

Hi all! I'm Melanie, I'm single (divorced 5 years) and I'll be 42 on Tuesday. Yikes! I gained 45 pounds in a year due to my thyroid, and kept putting on weight for a while afterward since my metabolism was so slow. I'm now taking it off and I think this might be a great way for me to throw off some fat a little quicker and to get the fit body I want to feel confident about myself again.

I've always been amazed at the transformations I've seen on The Biggest Loser and I'd love to experience a little of that myself.

Hi everybody, I'm Jennifer! I'm a college student and a mom to 3 kids. I will be 30 in a couple of days and I started 30 day shred 3 days ago. Even though I have been really sore I am still pumped up about this and I hope to keep up the positive attitude. I'm excited to see what will happen at the end of the 30 days! Can't wait!

Hi, Everyone! I'm a 37 year old mother of two (ages 3 and 7.) I worked our regularly and ate fairly well until I had kids but have found it so hard to return after rediscovering french fries, ice cream and wine! I have been rollercoaster dieting / exercising for the past couple of years - with no long-term success- and would love to lose 10 lbs then stay active to maintain it. I'm counting on all of you to keep me motovated and help me stick to it this go-around! (and I will happily do the same.)

HI everyone! Glad there was a group getting ready to do the same thing I was. Great to have motivation from all of you. I just turned 30 about a month ago and am currently in the best shape I've been in a long time. I have lost 72lbs in about 10 months and am working towards those last 30 or so to lose. I did the 30 day shred about 6 months ago and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

I have no kids but I have enough to keep me busy. I love reading, card making, cooking, and occasionally play some computer games.

I hope I can be supportive to all of you!

Hi everyone,
I'm 27 year old Australian uni student. Both of my babies have tails and whiskers, so I can't blame them for my extra weight! I've started the 30DS a few times in the past but never stuck with it - but my husband's got some awesome surprise up his sleeve for me if I make it all the way through, so I've got some great incentive this time! (At least, it had better be something awesome, he's been building it up for over a year!)

I'm definitely keen to make friends here, so check out my profile and add me if you think we'll get along. Looking forward to getting shredded with you all!

I'm Kat. I'm vegan, 26 years old, 5'10", and 217 pounds. A friend of mine has been doing the 30 Day Shred and really enjoying it. I watched her yesterday to see what it was like, and wasn't as intimidated as I thought. Then today, I noticed this group and decided to do it. I'm not sure how much I want to lose -- my lowest weight was 145 in high school, after some highly unhealthy behavior. Currently my lowest goal is 170. I'd like to see how low I can go.

LacedwithHope

Hi everybody! I'm so glad Mel mentioned this group. I was thin all of my life, but gradually I've become overweight by at least 20 pounds. I don't feel like I look in pictures, so I suppose I'm in denial. :huh:

Mostly I just want to be healthier and have more ENERGY, so I'm hoping this group will help me to be more accountable for making the changes I know I need.

Good luck everyone

Hi laced! Glad you made it, my friend!

I'm Laura. I'm 31, not married, and no kids. I've decided to get fit because this something I want to do for myself. I put everyone else in my life first and myself last. I've done the shred in the past and quit, but this time around I'm determined to finish.

HI My name is Krystal and I love this website! I am new to it, but not new to the shred. I did it and got second place in the biggest loser contest at work. I lost 13 lbs and lover 10 inches all over my body! It is hard, but so rewarding and I love that its only 20 minutes per day. YAY go us!!!

daniellesb1

Hello everyone ! I'm Danielle, 42 years old, married for 9 years and have an amazing 3 yo little girl. I am pretty much wanting to live a healthy life-style for her, since I want to make sure I do everything I possibly can to be around for her for a very long time to come. My biggest fear is that something would happen to me, and she have to grow up without a Mom.... I also want her to learn how to live a healthy life - which will be hard in the midst of all our "fast/junk food" world of today...

Anyways - I have lived in South Florida now for 5 years, and have a long commute to work (1 hour each way), a sedentary job (pretty much in front of a computer all day) and my husband works nights and weekends. It is very difficult to manage my everyday life, and add a healthy cooking and exercise to the midst of it - BUT I HAVE TO ! :happy:

I had joined MFP in July last year, and lost 30 Lbs in 3 months with mostly diet and a little exercise. We had an amazing group that also did 30DS together, but I lasted only till Day 13 before my everyday life took a better toll on me..... Since then I have gotten pregnant, had a miscarriage, and pretty much gained back all the 30 Lbs I had lost....

So, needless to say I am extremely excited to do this again ! And REALLY hoping I will be able to stick to it for this time around...

If anyone is interested, I had started Blogging about my 30DS experience from last October, and even though I only blogged up to Day 5, it is pretty amusing to read back and see what was happening at that time.... Got a few chuckles myself..... Maybe you guys can see what it will be like for you first timers !

Good luck to us !

Good luck everyone x x
