    My name is Jacci and I'm new to MFP. I've been married almost 15 years and we have 5 boys ranging in age from 20-12. I am considered morbidly obese. My goal is 180 pounds, this means I have 170 pounds to lose. I work full time so between work and home, I don't eat right. And I'm addicted to Dr. Pepper. But I'm making small changes to my diet and activity...I deserve to feel better. Our oldest son is getting married and all be damned if I will look like a whale on my sons' wedding day!

    Hi! I'm 32 and from the great ole area of NEPA. I decided that I want to live my 30's better then my 20's were. My 20's had some ups and downs and downs but my 30s are looking up! I work full time, dance once a week (tap-I have been dancing since I was 6) and will be starting a 10 week Pilates class through work (I am the Admin Asst in the Health Services Dept at a college). I just started this job and am motivated to get healthy. One of the nurses here is a WW leader so I feel judged (in a good way) when we eat lunch! I try to make my lunches as healthy as possible when she is at work! She is my motivation. After work, it all goes downhill. Its cold, dark and snowy and all I want to do is sit under a blanket with my SO and my kids (5yr old dog and 9 mo old kitten). I am looking for friends that know what its like to fight to get healthy and want to swap motivations!

    I'm a 38 y/o female (almost 39 - in March!) and I'm truly hoping to get stronger and healthier in 2013. I spent 2013 working on this as well, but I was also healing from some emotional and physical issues...so I think now that those are resolved, I can actually move forward from here.

    Even though I'm a tad overweight, I am an aerobics instructor and teach water fitness to seniors. Water fitness is great and EVERYONE should do it. It is really helping me as now I do it 2-3 times a week. I got my Zumba certification and teach one Zumba class a week too. Friend me if you LOVE Zumba . . . b/c I do!

    For work, I am an independent English tutor, author, part-time at-home paralegal, aerobics instructor, and part-time administrative assistant. Oh yeah...and I teach ACT prep classes on occasion. Yes, I really have that many different jobs!

    I am divorced, and I have no kids and no husband! Not even a bonus kid :-)

    Hi there,

    I'm Alice. I'm 30 years old! Have been on mfp since March last year, still got a long way to go, but after a bit of a blip at the end of last year I am making a new start. I like eating normal food (no faddy diet rubbish!) and working out at the gym while trying to keep inline with my mfp daily goals.
    So far that's working ok for me. But my biggest downfalls are nights out and stress eating (especially exams!)
    I work full time in finance and I'm also studying for my chartered accountancy qualifications (though, please don't hold that against me! lol).
    Recently, in December, I got engaged to my otherhalf. We have been together 8 years in May. So currently saving for a wedding at the moment and trying to get back to going to the gym a few times a week.to get our figures in shape!

    Looking forward to seeing what motivation this group can offer me,as I would really love to keep on track this time!

    Hello to all. Omaha and 38. In about a month I will be on my last year of 30 something. So I decided for my "mid-life" wow, 40 is about here moment ... I would get in shape instead of buying a new car :) Much better for you and way cheaper, well training can be expensive.

    Since I started last year dropped 60 lbs. Need to drop a few more, but now about to start the work of building up more strength and endurance. Going to try to do my first triathlon in April.

    Good luck to all and here to support everyone and their goals.

    Hi Everyone

    I'm Lauren, 33 and from the Midlands, UK. Decided its about time to stop kidding myself and acknowledge that I am not as comfortable in my own skin as I think I am.

    I've found myself a wonderful man to support me regardless, but I'm struggling with his food issues as well as my own - he doesnt eat veg or salad & little fruit - and convenience/ minimal fuss wins over cooking 2 different meals when we're together.

    So, I am embarking on getting myself organised so convenience doesnt win, and planning to get myself on my own track with MFP's help

    Best of luck to everyone

    Hello All! I am brand spanking new to MFP only tracking for 6 days so far, but loving the results!!

    I am 36 Years Young and I am a Mom of 2 wonderful kids, a 4 1/2 year old Son and our newest addition a 3 1/2 month old Daughter. I haven't always struggled with weight, just one time after high school, then for the past 3 years. With my firstborn I only gained 12 pounds and lost 35 after delivery and nursing. With our second born I gained 25 (after another 25 pound "over the years" gain) so I'm up over 50 pounds from when I met my Husband 12 years ago. I'm not looking to get to that starting weight again, but I am looking to regain energy to be a good role model for my kids.

    I am food addicted. Not only do I love to cook and bake; I love to eat it all. Can't leave anything on my plate, I stress if people waste food. I am always thinking about food: what I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat how much I'm going to eat. Purely obsessed.

    I am very active, both my husband and I are very active. I work for a Sporting Goods Company so I should be active, but I feel as I get older my energy has completely diminished. Everything is a struggle. I still do things but my whole being protests. Not too mention having 2 kids...such a change from having 1, but that's a whole different topic, lol.

    Looking forward to reaching my goals and reading about everyone else reaching their's too! :)
