Hi everyone, my name is Jim. I'm 30 and live in eastern Ohio. I was an active distance runner for years following college, but had to have knee surgery in 2010 after completing the New York Marathon. Soon after, I married my soulmate and we just had our first baby girl this past May. My goal is to get back into competitive running, but I have to squeeze the majority of my training into 1-hour lunch breaks at the gym.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing ideas and successes!

Hi im 34 with two kids boy an girl. Im seperated going thru a divorce. Ibe gained so much weight due to alot being ill an stress. Laid off a few months ago. An now taking this time to get my health an weight back.

Hello, Everyone!

I am new to the group and the site. I am 32 years old, but my birthday is in November, and it took me several months to process and realize I was no longer 31:) Now, I am a responsible adult who pays bills, goes to work, does laundry, and can't go on shopping sprees. The highlight of July was when I organized my closet and unpacked the rest of my boxes from when we moved into our house a couple of years ago.

For fun, I hang out with the kids, do the Girl Scout thing, go to parks, get crafty, and workout, as well as find free fun stuff in the community to do.

Glad to be here and eager to hear how the other 30 somethings do it:flowerforyou:

Hello! I'm 36 and thank God I found this group. Finding 30 somethings is like finding a needle in a haystack on here...jeez!

I am a mom, wife and I work full time as an accountant. I'm also going back to school in Sept to finish my degree.

I have more than 100lbs to lose before I'm at my ideal weight. My short term goal is just to get out of the 200's. I feel like I have the eating part licked now I need to commit to a exercise schedule. I used to work out hard core and now I just don't make it a priority. I like to cycle, I have both a mountain bike and a spin bike at home so I just have no excuses at all not to exercise!! I just joined a group for cycling too so I'm excited for the motivation there.

My food diary open, however, it is boring. I tend to eat the same things every day...until I get bored and I'll change it up a bit. I'm consistently losing 2lbs a week so it's working at the moment.

It's nice to meet all of you and I look forward to getting to know you.

I am 36 and always looking to meet new wonderful people. Hope you all continue kicking *kitten* at reaching your goals cuz guess what? YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Hi all,

I'm 35, recently single and just looking to get back in shape and rebuild myself overall. I'd love to surround myself with some positive, like minded people. I love what I've read so far and hope to find some new friends. I'd like to start playing softball again and just feel good about me. I'm a baker, an artist (painting and computer graphic) and creative Frankenstein overall. Love Halloween and my kitten Polly. I use the batting cages as my personal beating ground and it's great for love handles. So yeah, that's the short of me.

Hi, I'm 33 with a husband of 13 years and a 5 year old princess. I am new to the groups on here and hoping to make new friends to support on our journey to becoming fit AND I am determined to get this weight off & keep it off!

Hi my name is Sarah and I am 31. I am the mother of 2 great kids, Ruby is 6 and R.J. is 5. I work full time in a job where I am sitting most of the time. My short term goal for now is to loose 30lbs by my 32rd birthday(It's also my 2nd Wedding anniversary) which is April 11th.

Hi Gang,

I'm 35, have been using MFP on/off for maybe a year and am realizing that I really need support and accountability to achieve my weight loss goals. I'm 5'10" and want to lose 15-20 lbs. It feels incredibly weird to me to be asking strangers to be my friends, but my husband is slender, eats what he wants, rarely exercises and still looks like he's in good shape, so I don't feel like he really knows where I'm coming from in this dept. I need someone that understands how hard it is to pass up that cookie, what an accomplishment it was to jump on the treadmill or how awful it feels when you blow it and totally binge! If any of you have similar goals and/or need support/accountability, too, please add me as your friend (or request to be mine....I don't really know how this works).

Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

By the way, I am the proud mama of 3 fabulous shelter pups, live in Houston and am a critical care nurse..

Welcome all to the group..

Hi everyone

I am Tamaryn, a 31 year old wife & mother from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Keen to work in a team environment to stay on the straight & narrow, as it were. Always easier for me if I am rivalled, & have to be accountable. Otherwise it all goes pear... literally & figuratively.
