Hi! My name is Lindsay and I'm 31. I'm a wife and mother to a 4 year old. I live in Cleveland, Ohio.
During my pregnancy, I gained 30lbs, and reached my then highest weight of 200lbs. I then lost all my pregnancy weight working at Chipotle. Then, I changed jobs and in 18 months, gained 35lbs. I quit my job, decided to spend time as a stay at home mom, and gained another 20lbs due to inactivity and stress.
I'm at my heaviest at 219 and want to get down to 165, with my ultimate goal weight of 135. I'm currently working out at home doing Zumba, and Hip Hop Abs. When I hit 199, I will be doing the 30DS. Since I have a real plan and motivation, I have been using MFP religiously, and am always looking for friends to motivate and keep me motivated too!!

Hi, I just joined the group and I only have been on the site for a little over a week now. I really need some friends to give me support and help. I'm 39 and weigh 185. I would like to get down to 150. I weighed myself today and have lost nothing.I measured my waist and have lost 2 inches. Would anyone be willing to look at my food log and help me as I know I'm doing this all wrong?

I'm 35 and have been loosing since jan 7. I started on MFP in feb. I'm down 40 pounds and 34 inches. I log everyday and looking for friends that are serious about loosing weight and logging in.

Hi. I will be 35 on Sunday and somehow that has been translating to gearing up for change in my life starting with fitness. I have been off and on with MFP over the past year but I intend to do better. I joined the group looking for support for others in their 30s with similar goals. I have a few workout ideas hereforward but thankfully eating like a pescatarian/vegetarian for the past 13 years has kept me from ballooning but I still have about 30 lbs I want to shake off! I look forward to connecting with and meeting new people as it will keep me on track. Thanks!!!

Hi!

I'm Jen, 36, from Central PA! This is my second "serious" attempt to lose weight. My first time was 8 years ago when I lost 40 lbs before going through a lot of stress and giving up to deal with the things I had to.

I am now doing this again because I am sick of feeling so blah and ick! Also, as a single mom, I am the major influence in my daughter's life. Unfortunately, I see her following in my footsteps with the bad eating and such. It's time to make a change for not just myself but also for her!!

When I last lost the weight, I was a stay-at-home mom and the eating and exercise were easy. I also used a community support system online on another site. So, it was a lot easier to have a routine.

This go around, I don't have the exercise and eating ease, as I did before. However, I am finding and seeking out friends and support here in the communities on MFP! I did find this to be one the most important and helpful things the last time. It was great to communicate with others who were going through the same things.

I hope to befriend and gather support from lots of you! Let's do this together and GET IT DONE!!!

Hi, I'm Casey, and I'm in Northern Nevada. I've been a member of MFP since Sept. 2012 and have lost about 18 #'s.

I was doing great keeping a food journal and exercising daily with some favorite videos on youtube. Then, I moved to Nevada. I'm not cooking my own meals 100% of the time, so I don't know exactly what I'm eating (this is true a dinner time only). And, what can I say about exercising besides, "ahhhhh". My internet connection is so slow where I am youtube videos are useless and sadly I don't have the motivation to do it without them.

I've become more accountable in the last week where food is concerned. I'm using my food scale again when I build deli sandwuches for lunch. I'm a member of a daily challenge group, and I try to tune in at least once a week for exercise stuff. These things don't measure up to where I used to be, but I'm trying to get back on track by taking baby steps.
