in Introduce Yourself
As a girl who is in her early 30s and just starting this process I am looking for friends that can give me tips and keep me focused on the goal of becoming a healthy fit individual. In the last few months I have begun to understand the need to get healthy and keep fit but have no friends that are in a similar position. I am sure I am not the only one out there so lets do this together.

    Very nice to meet you! I am also in my early 30s (just turned 32 actually). I am training for my very first half marathon (in May). I have discovered I love running. After needing to lose some unwanted weight - something I have NEVER had to deal with as I have always been very thin, I found this site about the same time I got into running. This isn't a diet or a New Year's resolution (not kicking anybody else's!!!) but this is my lifestyle now. I would be very happy to add you as a friend!

    I just turned 32 in December. Been eating healthy since November 2011, started running in May 2012, and have added a regular weight training regimen to my run schedule since right before the New Year. I'm not always active in the forums, but if you message me with questions or motivation, I reply pretty quickly.

    I've lost 35 lbs, ran two half marathons (third one coming up in May) and am training for the Spartan Sprint this spring and a 12 person, 200 mile relay in October (The Bourbon Chase). I've got lots more weight to go before I reach goal, but this year's focus is shifted to becoming strong and eating right (and hoping the weight will take care of itself).

    Just turned 33 myself and have recently moved over to MFP from LoseIt a few months ago and I have little to no friends who are active. I'm a dad of 3, marathoner, obstacle racer, and hopefully triathlete by the end of this year. I'd love to add you as a friend, just shoot an invite!

    Hi, I sent you a friend request. I turned 30 last month and was hearing all this advice like "If you want to get fit, do it now. It doesn't get any easier." So in June I decided I wanted to enter my 30s headed in the right direction and have been working out more regularly (was always pretty into exercise though) and keeping closer tabs on what I ate (which I never did). It's been going pretty well so far and I'm actually kind of enjoying it. Good luck to you.

    I'm 30, turning 31 this year. Please add me if you'd like. I've been at this for about a year and lost around 20 lbs! I'd like to lose 5 more, but right now I'm just trying to maintain because I can't exercise (shoulder injury) and probably need surgery. Anyway, good luck to you!!! Happy to share any advice if you want any!

    Anyone can feel free to add me as well. I'm 32, soon to be 33 and a mother of 2. I've lost everything except for this pesky last 15-ish pounds. I've recently rejoined the gym and am committed to losing this weight and getting fit in a healthy way.

    Nice to meet you!! Im 30, turning 31 next Friday. I started my weight lost journey back in Sept. 2012 and have lost a total of 35 lbs. I recently started using MFP to help me loss the remaining 70 lbs to reach my goal! I gained a good amount of weight with my first child and the pounds just kept adding up over the years with my other three pregnancies. So now a mother of four it times for me to get this weight off! In the words of my cousin Christopher who has never had a weight problem "Well your not pregnant anymore so whats your excuse now?" That statement really got me thinking and motivated me to show not only him but to challenge myself in getting this weight off. Wishing you the very best in your journey.

    Anyone feel free to add me, I can always use more friends to help me along the way
