    Welcome to the 30 Somethings group GoddessTwitch and Samantha !! There are several actives on here so feel free to add us. Also, feel free to start a thread or post a question.

    I have started another 3 Month (Self) Challenge - Part 7 if you care to join us. Just private message me or post in the newest thread and I will add you to the new spreadsheet. Note - this new spreadsheet will be open to edit.

    Hello my name is David. I'm 31 years old and used to be in great shape in high school and college. Then slowly watched that go away as stopped working out and kept eating whatever I liked. Eventually I gained about 100 lbs. About six months ago, for a variety of reasons, I finally decided to change my lifestyle and started working out again and keeping track of what I eat. I've been using MFP more or less daily since then but have just started getting interested in the community aspect.

    Hello! I am 31 and live in MN with my husband and 13 month old daughter. I have been on a hiatis from MFP for a while now unfortunately but am getting back into the swing of things. My work has a health challenge going on right now where you could win a trip if you meet your goals so I thought that was great motivation!!!

    I love to bike and run. I recently got a jogging stroller so I can take my daughter with me on some runs/jogs! I guess I jog more than I run but I try! As I've gotten older my running has slowed but I hope to gain that momentum back!

    I'm looking for some friends and motivators to help keep me on the right path! Friend me :)

    Hey, Ben here from southwest Montana. When I was 30 I found out I was having issues with BP and cholesterol. I've dropped about 20 already and have 20 more to go to get to my goal of 170.

    I've got lots of excuses (I have four kids, a house, a career, my own business on the side, plus I teach a class at the local university) but hey, everyone's got reasons they aren't losing. I might as well stop my whining and get it done!

    Just joined. What an awesome group. I'm 37 from CT, dad of 2. Lost 30 pounds so far and have another 30 to go. Having a supportive community here on MFP makes all the difference. Looking for new friends and motivators and will do so in return as well.

    Hi everyone. I'm Angelique from LI, NY. I'm a full-time student working a full-time and part-time job as well. I just turned 30 earlier this year but just recently found this group and wanted to check it out. Love MFP and have been doing well with my weight-loss goals. Half way there but am now looking forward to starting stronglifts 5x5 soon to transform my body. Good luck with everyone in your weigh-loss endeavors!

    Hi, what a lovely group this is. I am 33, Mom of a beautiful 18 months old girl, work in market research and have just started on MFP. I have a very long way to go with about 70 pounds to lose and don't even know where to start. I have started entering my food diary and it tells me how ill-informed i am about foods... Have started some exercise as well. Looking for friends and motivators trying to get to a healthier place. :)

    Hi I'm Holly and I'm 31 years old and about 20# over my healthy weight range.

    I lost 45lbs in the past with WW but gained nearly all of it back in the last 3 years.

    I have a horrible sweet tooth that I just can't quit, but I can at least try to make those "sweet" recipes more healthy :love:

    I would like to lose around 35-40 lbs.

    Feel free to friend me :flowerforyou:

    Hi....

    I'm Casie and I'm 33. I have about 80 lbs to lose at this point and am hoping to get as close to goal as possible by June. The hubby and I are going back to Sandals and I want a bathing suit body!!! I also am trying to get pregnant and really would like to be smaller and healthier before that happens.

    I am addicted to sweets and have tried about every diet out there, some with great success but always gain it back. This is the first time I've just simply done calorie counting and am so far really enjoying it.

    Would love to have more friends! :flowerforyou:

    Hello. I'm Amber, 36, married, no kids, from Illinois.
    Currently dealing with fertility issues, so I'm looking to lose some weight to help with ovulation.

    I'm usually on during the day at work. My diary is open, as well as my personality. Love to chitchat, feel free to message if you're bored or need some encouragement!

    Hello guys, my name is Leah (group: hi Leah, lol). I'm 30 and i just can not get rid of the lbs I gained after taking a birth control shot. I gained a whopping 30lbs on top of 15 that I wanted to lose. It's very hard trying to work out with a four year old daughter I take care of as well, but I'm going to get it together and get healthy. Good luck everyone.

    Hi my name is Dasha, I'm 31 and a bartender. I'm engaged to a chef (skinny me saboteur) and we have no kids. I have two fur babies, a Boxer and a Frenchie. I'm 163lbs now, 175 lbs at my heaviest, and aiming for 140 lbs. I've lost all the weight on MFP before but then completely fell of the wagon. We have spent the last 3 years caring for his elderly parents (so I've seen what the end of the road looks like if you don't take care of your body), his father passed in June and now my Mom is fighting cancer (she is on a super strict diet though so a great influence). I have always comforted myself with food and it's showing on my tummy and thighs. I hate exercise BUT last time I hit my ideal weight it still looked flabby so exercise must be in the mix this time. I am doing Kettleworx.

    My real life friends are either super healthy already or fat and fine with it... So I could use some MFP friends?

    Hello I'm Nicky. I'm 37 and from Illinois. I have two active kids I need to keep up with. I lost close to 50 pounds using WW but when life got busy and I could no longer make it to the meetings I fell off the wagon and gained 12 back. I recently became inspired by a coworker using MFP and decided to give it a try and finally reach my goal!!

    Hey ya'll, my name is Laurence and I am looking to get back in the shape I was in in college. I am fairly active, but still eat like I did in my early 20s and am trying to change that aspect of my lifestyle. This seems to be a great tool, and I would love any support I can get, and also help anyone else if I can

    Hello all! I'm Di from SW Virginia. I'm new to the group, but not new to MFP by any means. I had a great thing going last year before I started juggling priorities and being healthy fell by the wayside. I had lost a bunch of weight in the early part of last year, but gained all but 10 lbs of it back. So here I am- back on the wagon again. I'm hoping to gain some new friends. Together we can keep a fire under each other's *kitten* when we just want to throw in the towel.

    Hello! I'm Sarah, 30 years old, not new to MFP but new to the GROUPS feature. I've always been at the top end of a healthy BMI until the last year when I've got over it. I'd like to lose about 15 lbs. and I'm 4 down so far. I'm getting married in May but that's not my motivation. I want to change my lifestyle to be a healthier, more active and happy "30 something."
