in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

I'm turning 30 this year, and I'm trying to make my weight loss a priority for a while. I eat "okay" and exercise "some," but I really want to kick it up a notch to lose 10 or 15 pounds - just to prove to myself that I can. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE good food, and I also love a good beer (or three) - so though it's "ONLY" 10 pounds, it's going to take some serious motivation to break out of my comfort zone! I would love to have a few friends with the same kinds of goals -- Please feel free to add me!

    I you can add me as a friend if you like. already passed 30 and have had :flowerforyou: 3 babies, hitting 50 in March, so I've learned a few things along the way , you might want to have your diary public so we can see what you need to change or add.

    I'll send you a request. I'm 27 and I'd like to lose about another 10-12 pounds so I have a little up and down room without getting upset. This last ten is proving to be pretty challenging and I'm having to be stricter than I was before. Learning the scale isn't always the answer. I'm seeing improvements in this last ten, but the scale moves slowly. Don't get frustrated, take measurements. I also love a beer or three. Been doing vodka soda and lime lately. More 'bang' for your buck. lol. Best of luck to you! :drinker:

    Anyone else can feel free to add me if you're not easily offended. I have an open diary and am on everyday mon - friday and most weekends.

    Thanks for the kind words! I've switched to wine for the past couple days, but even that can throw off my day's calorie count. I like the vodka lime idea! I may give that a try tonight :)

    I'm going to add you! I just started getting serious on MFP and want some friends to share in the process.

    I am 24 years old and wanting to lose 20-25 lbs (you can read more in my first blog post!), but my biggest vice is going out and overimbibing, as well as eating too many sweets that people bring into work! I've always been in a healthy range (still am), but recently calculated my BMI and determined I'm a tenth away from being in the overweight range. I need a lot of motivation to get to where I want to be because it is easy for me to be complacent.

    Thanks for introducing yourself. Anyone else with similar goals, ages, weight ranges or what have you, feel free to add me also!

    Add me, too! I lost 25lb last year with dedicated MFP and working out, then I moved to Chicago in Oct '12 and gained almost 10 back! :(
    I want to get rid of that 10lb again. Honestly I don't mind if the number on the scale stays the same as long as my body changes. My "weight" goal is to feel confident jogging outside in a sports bra and shorts. I'll be 30 in January and I want to look HOT. Hahaha. So I'm back on MFP and hoping I can stick to it. I think it would really help to have a buddy to keep my accountable.

    Hi everyone! I just joined MFP 10 minutes ago. I'm 30 and need to lose 10 pounds. (15 would be my dream!) I struggle with using food as a crutch and want to break my emotional eating habits badly. I do love food and love to bake and cook but also want to learn to not use food as a coping mechanism! Would love to have support!

    Since I just joined I'm not sure how to add friends... how do?!

    Hi
    You can add me too. I'm 31 and back on MFP recently. I want to lose 9kg (around 20lbs) just to get rid of the wobbly bits. We can motivate each other on our progress.

    Good luck !!

    Hi ladies

    I too have just turned 30 and out of no where seem to have put on the pounds which I'm not happy about AT ALL. Would love to lose 15 pounds and i'm on 1200 cal a day. So far I'm day two and doing alright. I did eat out last night so tonight will be cooking the first meal. I'd love to share food and exercise tips with one another, so please add me!

    Thanks and happy healthy eating!

    Hi there! I'm 29 and looking to lose around 10-20 lbs! I've always exercised 3-4 times a week but I've never really cracked down on my eating habits. I'm new to myfitnesspal so I'm hoping that this helps out! Feel free to add me. :)

    I am 28 soon to be 29 and getting married. I am also great during the week but the weekends are killer. We tailgate, eat out and have a lot and have dinner parties with all sorts of yummy food and drinks. I am about 10 lbs away as well and am trying to get back the motivation to get it all off....why the wedding isn't motivation enough I am not sure
