Hi All,
I am a busy mother of two. I have a wonderful husband who surprised me on my birthday (20 years together) with a trip to Hawaii this summer. That is what has motivated me to get into better shape. I want to look more than just good in a bathing suit. I haven't been on these boards before this week. I'm a teacher and I'm off for March break so I thought I would take a look. I have had a great time reading everyone's posts. I hope you all have a successful week

Hi! My name is Dave. I've been chubby for about 10 years. I've always been active but my diet was terrible. I got up to 265 about 4-5 years back while playing rugby and it was really hard on me. I've yoyo'd around since then between 205-230. My main goal is to lose body fat. I really don't care what the scale reads, but I'd eventually linke to be at < 15% body fat and around 200 lbs.

I stopped smoking in January after being a pack a day smoker for 13 years. I was worried about weight gain, but I'm watching what I eat and working out a lot.

January 2013
228 lbs 25.3% body fat

March 2013
227 lbs 22.2% body fat

Plus summer is coming up and I'd like to look decent poolside.

Hello, I'm Brooke. I'm glad to be here. I'm looking to lose 100+lbs and can use all the help I can get.

Hi all, just joined this group, and am glad to see so many 30-somethings! I'm 36, started on MFP roughly 6 months ago and have another 80ish pounds to go. I live in the Washington DC metro area, and I'm looking for pals that actually read my diary and what I post so that their comments are relevant, positive and helpful, where help is needed. Does that make sense? Glad to meet you all!

Hello, I my name is Brandon from Southern California and I am 33, married and father to two beautiful girls (ages 3 and 1). At one point I was a pretty decent high school athlete and in tip top shape, however, college/party life took precedent over being an athlete and I have been struggling with my weight since I was 20. I finally have decided to get back into shape and MFP has been an answer to my problems. When I first realized I needed to become healthier I was at 237lbs (back in January) drinking 5-7 sodas a day, and eating probably between 3-6k calories a day with little or no exercise. As of today, I am down to 219 and MFP has me at 1660 calories a day which I am hitting or staying under with regularity. I can already tell a difference in how my body is besides from the physical, I have more energy to play with my daughters and I do not get tired during the day ( I am a junior high teacher). My goal is three-fold: phase 1 - 215lbs, phase 2 - 200 lbs, and phase 3 - 175lbs. I am just 4 lbs away from my first goal and hopefully I can reach it this coming week.

Hello everyone i just joined her today. I have been using this app for only about 3 days now but have been on my new body mission since last august. Ive bounced around on my weight but hit a plateau at 180lbs and couldnt get past it so thought i would try this app and see what happens ive heard good things about it so here goes. I started out at 215 and was 181 this morning.

HI just joined today. I turn 38 in June. nice to see a lot of 30 year olds around

Hi Im Joyce 32 years old. Joined the group to connect with other people my age who are also losing weight and getting in shape. I have thyroid issues, have for a while but suddenly it seems the weight just piled on. this happend one other time about 2 years ago whre I gained 20 lbs in a 3 month period or so. I managed to lose it but in the last 6 months have gained another 20-25. My goal is to be about 160 although most sites say 170-177 is good for me. I dont want to sit at the edge of my 25 max BMI which 177 would put me at. Im 5'10 and weight about 190 currently. I got back on MFP about 6 weeks ago but i didnt start adding friends/posting til about 4 days ago so excited to meet and chat with everyone.
