    I have about the same goal, but I'm 47. I've always been incredibly fit and healthy, but I had a couple of rough years and have gotten out of control.

    For activity, I do my kinect or run outside 3 days a week; and I play kinect games for another two days. That gives me a solid 5 hours of moderate to strenuous activity. And it really is pretty fun too.

    Food wise I'm making a point to reduce processed foods as much as possible and to consumer a minimum of 20 grams of fiber per day.

    I think that will give me a way I can be successful.

    You can achieve your goals, and you can be happy with yourself now, even as you're working to improve. In fact, you deserve to be happy with yourself :-)

    Hey there! I'd also like to lose between 30-40 pounds. I'm 22, in college, and just trying to eat right and exercise. My diary reflects pretty poorly on me right now, but I took a nutrition course this semester and I plan on implementing a lot of what I learned. You can find quite a few good posts on here about eating right and how to make good choices. Eat within your calorie budget, and make sure you're choosing healthy, real foods. It's also important to add in exercise, even if it's only walking 20 minutes a day. Right now (since it's finals week), I'm only managing to walk about 30 minutes each night, but some movement is better than none. Start small, log EVERYTHING, and good luck!

    Hi there,

    I'm 36 and my goal is to lose 25 lbs by May 2013. I've already lost 7, YAY for me :)
    My fitness plan is to eat right, stay below my 1210 cal intake per day and work out anywhere from 4 to 6 days a week.

    Good luck to you

    Feel free to add me, i'm looking to drop 30 by june. I started kickboxing a couple of weeks ago, and joined MFP. My kickboxing instructor said that exercising is one thing, but watching what you eat is just as important. I go about 3-5 times a week depending.
