    Yes, I think it is a very good idea.

    I'm Jan. I am 30 years old. Wife of one; mommy of two - a 22 month-old boy and a four-week-old girl! Want to lose about 46 lbs because I want to be healthy, have energy, and feel good. I am seeking a balanced life.

    I need strong female influence. Other mom's like me who know what it is like to have to fight to keep feeling beautiful and attractive!

    I think this is a good idea.

    I'm Danny - From VA and I joined almost 3 months ago. I have lost 34 pounds already and am almost to my goal to get down to 195. I'm not sure if I want to keep going after my first goal, but I have thought about going down to 185... I'm 6 foot tall but don't want to be too thin

    This is definitely a lifestyle change, so please feel free to add me - I am on the phone app every day and try to log in to the website as often as I can...

    I'm in!

    Hi, my name is Marcie. I'm 38 years young. Married 17 yrs, we have 2 wonderful kids (16 yr old & 10 yr old). I officially started using MFP earlier this month. I've lost 5 lbs so far, got 75 more to go! To help my weight loss, I'm currently doing JM's 30 Day Shred - just finished up day 3 on level 1 and I have a recumbent bike for extra cardio. Would love to connect with others!

    This is a thread started by someone with a Dalek as an avatar. How could I NOT respond. :)

    I'm 38 and have been trying to either lose or seriously tone the 20+ lbs I managed to pack on between getting married and having the Mirena. Well, Mirena's out, amazing husband is finally onboard with getting back into shape, I have the C25K app on my phone, and an exercise bike in my home. I'm ready to get back into shape.

    I'm always on the lookout for motivational and optimistic people in my corner!

    Let's do this!

    Allons-y!

    Im Duncan, professional beach bum (diving instructor) for 25 years, now doing something "sensible" (university degree) to get a "proper job" as my grannie used to say. Thank goodness there is only 9 months to go.

    I teach movie making during the summer in a private school just outside London, and when Im not freezing my small furries off in the north of England, I live in the Sinai desert in Egypt, teaching English and scuba diving.

    During the summer I gained weight, so this winter will not be one of discontent! I'm getting rid of it!
    Begone!

    Add me if you you fancy a chat.

    Sounds like a good plan to me. :bigsmile:

    My name is Suzanne, 27, looking to lose my last 50lbs or so..I have been on this journey for over 2 years now, (Started April 2010, Joined here in Sept '10) and my weight is still going up and down...my biggest gain was over majority of the Summer, and now trying to get back on track again, so yes, looking for support through the good and the bad. :smile:

    FYI- I struggle with emotional and binge eating due to stress, boredom etc..so I'm working on downsizing that habit too.

    Hi all :)
    My name is Kristen.
    I'm 26 years old.
    I'm 5'0"
    My highest weight was 206.
    Current weight is 187.
    My ultimate goal weight is 120.
    I was heavy up until my teen years where my lowest weight was 112. After my 3rd pregnancy I went into a depression and started drinking, not watching what I was eating, and just didnt care.
    My main reason for getting healthy is so that I can be here for my kids. I want to be able to keep up with them and also have more confidence in myself.
    I will be re-starting TurboFire and I also have Slim in 6 :)
    Good luck!

Wanting to really stick with it this time and prove to myself and others that I can, and will, do it! Looking for as much support I can get; friends, too. Hope to get to know some of you along the way. :)

    Hey everyone!

    I'm Mita from NYC. I'm 29 and have about 15 more pounds to lose--or not. I mostly just want to curb my cravings and tone up since I'm a shining exampe of the dreaded skinny fat. I've been a member or over a year, but was never really active. By adding friends, I think it will make me more accountable (it looks kinda bad to eat two boxes of Fruit Rollups and drink 10 mimosas if there's other people watching) and will allow me to support others going through the same thing.

    Anyway, pleas add me if you want! You all sound pretty awesome!

    I'm all about support too. I'm 32 and have about 55 lbs still to lose. I'm down 7 lbs from my heaviest weight. I'm already in the frustrated stage even though it's early on. I've always struggled with weight and all of my female relatives are heavier too.
    It's so easy to put the weight on when you are eating right and exercising and extremely hard to lose it.

    I'm Lisa. I've been gradually gaining weight ever since I graduated high school 5 years ago. I know if I don't make some changes, I'm just going to keep gaining as the years go on. I would like to lose around 20 pounds and work to maintain that weight.
