I think I need to see what other women with my kind of metabolism are doing. I would love to have some new friends to model after if anyone wants to friend me! :happy: :flowerforyou:

(I had to add this edit after all these posts! I am so surprised by how many people are here for each others support! Thank you all so much and hopefully I can learn something from all of you.)

    I'm early thirties. Doing ok... 12lb down so far, shooting for 20lb altogether. These last few pounds are proving quite hard but I'm determined.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I'm not early 30's but rather mid. However I'm losing weight at an acceptable rate and also losing inches. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

    I am 34. Started out in March 2012, with 82 lbs to lose.
    Since then I have lost 41 lbs. It was steady at first, but since December it has been PAINFULLY slow.
    I am still only about halfway there, and hope to reach my goal by March 2014.

    I lost 72 lbs in less than year back when I was about 25 years old. It was SO easy back then.

    37 yr old yo yo dieter here :) LOL - I have tried them all but MFP has been the one that makes the most sense to me (I use tdee-%) method.
    I stalled out using 1200 cals - and would not lose or gain so i switched it

    I now have close to 1500 cals as I can get - do not eat my cals back but I use Zumba every day. The first week I changed to tdee- % I lost 3 lbs :)

    Over all since Jan 1 I have lost 14 lbs - was easier and faster years ago but we can still lose now!

    31 year old, losing fat and inches, not dwelling on what the scale says as much as how my clothes fit. Full details are in my profile - always happy to support!

    I'm 30, and just over halfway to my weight loss goal. I'm a SAHM who also does in-home daycare, so I really struggle with mindless grazing all day long and/or cleaning the kids' plates. Will send a request.

    I'm 36, so I'm not early 30's, but I'm successfully losing weight at my old age :D Lately I haven't been working out as much and have been eating at my maintenance calories, which is 2050, and I haven't gained any weight. Still fit into my size 6's and 8's. So I think of myself as successful.

    I'm 34 and trying to lose the last stone, which I keep hearing is definitely the hardest and sure enough I seem to have come to a halt. But I keep mixing things up in the hope that I'll hit on the answer at some point. I guess it just requires a lot of patience!

    Yes, I just turned 34 years old in March and I have lost quite a bit, even with an underactive thyroid and little working outs. However, I have really just concentrated on healthy eating, not going over my calories too much and keeping my mind occupied and not thinking about food. When I am able to work out, it is just twice a week for an hour a piece. Sometimes, when I am in the mood, I will listen to music and dance to 6-five minute videos. I am so happy thus far, I just hope once I get down to my ideal weight that I can maintain that weight with no problems.

    I am 30, married, have 3 kids and have lost 38lbs so far. It has been hard work and up and downs but I finally figured out what works for me and what doesn't. I still have another 50-60 I want to lose but I am happy with the 38lbs so far. Feel free to add me as a friend or anyone else :D

    I'm 32 and just starting tracking my weight again. Does anyone have any successful food plans? I usually eat under my calories but am not seeing the weight come off. And I could use some friends!

    I'm 35 and since last year I've lost 20ish lbs...for the last 2-3 months my weight has sort of stayed the same. But I've also started strength training. The numbers aren't going down, but my clothes have gotten crazy loose and I've got muscles now!

    I'm 33. Lost between 11 and 15lbs so far, depending on the day. I'm doing the 5:2 Fasting Diet. Feel free to friend request me if you would like to.

    *Forgot to mention that I've been doing the diet for about a month and a week.

    Am 33. Started at the very tail end of July with 130 to lose. Have lost 50 so far. Never going back. It's painfully slow after the first stall, but that's to be expected, and you just have to keep plugging away. Best of luck!
