    Hi. I'm new to the 30 Something group. I am 34 years old and 5'3". My first goal is to lose 10 lbs and get to 135 lbs. I started MFP 2 weeks ago. I'm looking for some great motivation to eating healthy and working out. I'm also looking for other tips (vitamins, shakes, recipes, workout videos, etc). MFP said I should eat 1200 cals, but Scooby said I should eat 1400 cals. I am doing Zumba twice per week. Occassionally, I will do a 15 minute brisk walk on my treadmill at home.

    Looking forward to sharing and learning from everyone here! Oh, I'm hoping to get down to 135 lbs by October for my first family vacation to the Florida Keys. I want to look "beach" ready :)

  • Hello, David here. I am 33 and have used the site off and on for a few years now. I had no idea there were groups on here. I usually use the app on my phone. Anyway, looking forward to meeting new people.

    Hey there everyone! I'm Carrie, and I just turned 30 in January... so I guess that means I'm a thirty-something now!

    I've been using MFP since 2009, though I have mostly been a lurker on the boards over the past few years. I've had a lot of success with MFP in the past. Unfortunately, I gained back about twenty pounds of what I lost as a result of going back to school/spending tons of time at a desk, and some health/digestive issues. I'm feeling better now, so I'm wanting to get my health and fitness back on track! I thought that it would be a good idea to chat with others who are looking to lose weight/get healthier, as a way to stay motivated. :)

I am new to this community thing but so far it seems pretty cool. I would like to meet people who are similar to me and can help me get to the next level. I want to be ripped !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been working on cleaning up my diet but could always use some new ideas.

    Hello,

    I just joined MFP a few weeks ago, and I must say, so far, so good.

    I have read/seen some pretty inspirational things on MFP, and I am looking forward to see what else is in store :)

    Hi, I'm 38 this month with a ton of kids, a ton of dogs, a ton of cats, and a half ton of birds. Ok, so it's only 3 kids, 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 birds, but that's a lot. I'm getting back into the swing of things with the weight loss. I originally lost 55lbs about 10 years ago and have yo-yo'ed back and forth with the about 15 lbs. I want to lose about 20 lbs or so and shed my muffin top.

  • Hi I'm Kimberley and new to MFP. I started my weightless journey at the beginning of June and have lost about 20 lbs so far. I've got another 50 to go according to medical advice.

    I recently bought a fitbit flex activity monitor to help encourage me to be active (I have a desk job). I love being able to track my progress.

    Anyone on the forum from Scotland? Either way I'm looking forward to getting some support on here.

    Hi! I'm Natalie from Denver, Colorado. I've always been a big girl, but there's a difference between being big and clearly carrying too much weight. After having kids I threw myself into being a great Mom and wife...that left ME way down at the bottom of my priority list. Now that the kids are older and in school I can focus on me.

    I've been on MFP for two years now and I hit a wall so I started a BUTT kicking workout and nutrition program in hopes to remind my body "we're not done yet!" So far so good, but we'll see! I just keep working! I'm looking forward to being in a group of people around my age to continue the journey with!

    Hi i'm Jon from the Greater Indianapolis area. I know i'm only 28 (almost29) but i really fit this group much better than anything in the 20s. I have a desk job working as a computer programmer. Not sure what my highest weight was, but when i look at my wedding pictures vs the picture on my badge i don't really like the way i looked so i decided to change it. Been on mfp..i think a little over a year now. Trying to get in better shape and lose a little more weight juggling a 45hr a week job + wife + 3 kids. Looking for more active friends. I have about 45 of them right now but only 4-5 of them post anything. Glad to meet you all in advance. Keep up the good work.

    Hi,

    I'm Samantha and I'm a 31 (almost 32) year old working mother of an amazing 3 year old. I have never ever been the fit girl, but I'm closer now than I've ever been. I've been on MFP for a while and really enjoy the challenges and community on here.
    This group seems like a great place to hang for a while :flowerforyou:
  • Hello everyone! I am not 30 (until next week!), but I was hoping that maybe this group will be a good fit for me. I got on MFP a few months ago. When I first signed up I was using the site daily and forming a routine.. but I soon stopped. I think part of my issue is not having a good support network. So here I am! Right now I am trying to lose about 20-30 pounds. I have lost the extra weight many times only to gain it back.
