    Hello!

    My name is Julie and I'm 33 years old. I just started logging back onto MFP about 3 weeks ago but I have been working on losing weight since the end of January. Now that I am feeling confident with my eating habits I am working on adding in exercise.

    Hi! I'm Jestina and I'm about to turn 32. I'm looking for ways to eat healthier and stay in shape. I'm new to MFP and loving it so far! I've always yo-yo'd between 120 and 145 and I'd like to settle around 130-135.

    Hi Jo -
    I just started this site earlier this week. I am working on bringing my weight down to a healthier weight. I hope focusing on creating balance and moderation in my life (work, play, and health) will reach that goal for me. I looked through some of your posts, and your group seems positive & motivated. Thank you!

    Hey everyone,

    My name is Joni and I've decided to take action before its too late. I don't have a lot to lose (just the 10lbs I put on recently). I've never been a big girl but because I'm short- the extra pounds tend not to sit too well on me. In my younger days I used to be able to shift the extra weight relatively quickly and without much effort (a tale a lot of you are familiar with I'm sure) but these days its much harder. Also I recently had to change my method of contraception (I've gone from the pill to the depo provera injection) resulting in me finding it extremely hard to control how much I throw down my neck most of the time!! So I've decided that if I cant stop eating I should at least try to counter act this by starting up running again- plus the further away from the fridge I am- the better!

    Good luck to all my fellow thirty somethings - any advise would be much appreciated!:smile::happy:

    Hi all,

    I'm turning 39 in a couple of days, so I guess I empathize 'somethings' in the 30s. ;)

    Feel free to add me, friends to follow is welcome.

    hello, my name is Jen.. i'm 36..divorced..with 4 kids.. (girls at that!) i have always been overweight but it seems after every kid I lose some weight, but I always gain it back after i stop breast feeding. well the same happened with the last baby. I was up to 171 lbs which is the most i'd been in at least 5 years. I decieded I was tired of feeling tired and bad about myself. I went on to start eating clean, and counting my calories. Since March 1st, i've lost 20lbs! Yay! I've bene stuck at a plateau and it seems EVERYtime I lose weight I get stuck at 150.. I can't budge past it..and I don't budge over it. Its VERY frustrating!

    I eat the healthiest I think I have EVER eat, and I'm trying to beat this plateau. I work out about 3 days a week, mostly doing Jillian michaels videos.. either no more trouble zones, or the metabolism one. My job is a grocery job, and i'm on my feet 8+ hours a day, lifting, moving, walking, running, and skipping at times it seems! I dont even feel like I need a workout after that job! I'm attempting to up my protein and see if I can bust through the 150's. Can't wait to read everyones posts!

    Hi, I'm Ben! This is my first week on MFP and my first group. The Calorie Counter is making it really easy for me to make good decisions and avoid bad decisions. I'm eating a lot of chicken these days. Feel free to add me :)

    Hello, I'm Kasi. I joined this group a while back but never actually opened a thread until today. Recently I've just been using MFP for the challenges. The seem to keep me focused but two of them just ended leaving me with time to venture out for other support systems. I added my name for the MIles Walked challenge/goal thing. What is the 3 month self challenge? Is it too late to join? I'm glad I finally decided to look into this group... lots of good stuff going on here:bigsmile:
