Hey everyone! I made the decision this morning that I WILL work towards being a happier and healthier ME. My goal is to lose thirty pounds by my thirtieth birthday, which is July 6. I have seven months and 24 days to reach this very doable goal. I joined MFP to not only keep track of my calorie intake and exercise, but to also have online friends hold me accountable.

    I am turning the big 3-0 on August 3rd of next year!! I have about 45lbs to lose to be to my goal weight, and I am hoping for at least 30-35 by my birthday!! I gained the 45lbs throughout my 20's so I would like to enter my 30's feeling like "myself" again and the healthiest I can be! I'll send you a friend request!!! :smile:

    Sending you all the good luck and encouragement vibes possible! About four years ago I dropped 60+lbs, but over the past two years I have slowly gained back about 20 of those. With a new job came a more sedentary lifestyle. So this 30 pound goal will put me back at my smaller size, plus some. Like you, I want to be at my best for my years past 30! Thanks for adding me :)

    I turn 30 in exactly 11 months from today! I would love to lose about 10 more lbs, but I would be happy with even 5 of those lbs gone. I lost about 20 lbs using this website over the course of 6 months, but then have gained a few of them back.

    I am gonna add some of you guys as friends. It would be awesome to enter my 30's in the best shape of my life!

    This is the same reason I joined, the accountability. I strongly believe you need like-minded people around you, supporting you, in order for weight loss to be successful. There are the rare exceptions that can do it by themselves. Congrats on the decision to better your health. 30lbs is definitely attainable, just stay focused and don't let the little hiccups along the journey discourage you.
