My name is Dani. I am 34 years old. I am a mother of 2 boys (3 1/2 and 1) and work full time. I have been on MFP since Jan 2011. I joined shortly after giving birth to my first son.

My battle with health started right after college. I had no idea how to be healthy on my own. It was easy when I was in high school, I was one of those people who could eat anything and never gain. In college, it was easy to make good choices because we had a lot of healthy options. After graduating, I found out the reality that healthy food cost more and it is very tough to cook for one person. Needless to say, I lived off of crappy unhealthy food and take out for the first year after graduating and gained 10 lbs. By two years after graduating I was up 30 lbs and at my highest I weighed ~215 lbs (I don't know for sure because I refused to step on a scale). I started doing weight watchers on line in 2006 and got down to 170 ish and maintained there until getting pregnant with my first son in 2010.

While pregnant I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It was the slap in the face I needed to get healthy. Type 2 diabetes runs in my family. I lived the life similar to a type 2 diabetic and then it went away. I don't want to have to deal with that if I can avoid it. So I joined MFP. I managed to get down to 153 (goal weight is 148) before getting pregnant with my second son. My second son was born March 2013. 1 year later I am stuck at 162 ish and really want to get the rest of this weight off in 2014.

I am looking forward to getting to know some other 30 somethings and sharing this journey!

Hi everyone,

I've joined mfp a long time ago but just started to use it these last few days. The groups and message boards are so overwhelming. So much good stuff to read but worried it will consume me.

Anyways I'm a 36 year old from southern BC. I have about 20lbs to lose and hoping to find te motivation I need here

Jitsuda, 32, originally from Bangkok but living in Jackson, MS now.

I have been active on MFP since August 2013 and have had great results. Thanks to motivation from the on-line community.

Hallo, hallo.
I'm Lizz. I'm 31, single, live in the States, and am a part-owner of a coffee shop. I lost 30+lbs with MFP a few years back but have slowly gained again. I'm working on getting back into shape, so I stop hurting all over at the end of every work day. Ha! So feel free to add me as a friend. I feel very motivated by everyone here.
Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! I'm 31 years old (almost 32 though). When I was younger I seemed to have no problems staying thin, even though I ate a pretty unhealthy diet a lot of the time (Fast food, snacks, sodas, etc.) Of course, it wasn't like I didn't eat fresh fruits and veggies at all, but being young and on a small budget I ate what I could afford. But I still was a nice size 8, with lots of energy to spare.

By the time I hit my late 20's, not only was the weight packing on, but I started having some health issues as well, such as migraines, acid reflux and gallbladder issues. The gallbladder issues actually landed me in the ER, and it was some kinda awful pain.

So my goals here aren't only to lose weight but to also monitor my food intake/nutrition to help with the other health issues as well. I find that tracking what I eat helps me figure out what foods trigger my problems. Of course, by eating healthier, the weight loss is a nice benefit of that. And I'd just LOVE to get back down to that size 8 I was when I was younger!

Hey All! I am Nobu. I live in NYC and will be turning 30 next month! I have been using MFP on and off, but would like to stick to it this time!
I would like this year to be the year I achieve my best body thus far with some hard work in the gym and discipline with the diet.
