Mid 30's Female! Friends welcome!

Greetings everyone! I recently turned 36 and have gained about 40 pounds in the last two years through frigid temperatures and two VERY long winters. We are FINALLY getting some sunshine and warm weather here in MN.

I have been struggling with trying to lose 30 of those 40 pounds for the last year and a half. Yup... I actually gained another 10. I have had my thyroid checked several times, done a BMR analysis and tried Weight Watchers, and several other things to lost the weight but without success. I am trying to focus on changing my lifestyle which is proving rather difficult with two picky eaters living in my house.

Anyway, I could use some friends to tag a long with on here? I would love to share recipes, support and try to make this a LITTLE fun. If you would like to add me, please do! Looking forward to meeting you!

    HA! Same for me here in Toronto. Something about heavy beer and comfort food when it is -15c to -30c out for LONG stretches at a time. Consider yourself added. Heres to a successful go of it together.

    Hi! I'm trying to knock another 20-25 off so let's do it together! I don't log my meals any longer but I do log my exercise which is about 5x/week. I check in here daily. I lost my last 20 pounds doing Dr. Ian's Shred Diet.

    Hi! I'm 32 and log in daily. I don't post much on the forums but I like seeing my friends activity on my news feed. That helps to motivate me!

    36.5 yo here! I recently moved away from MN after living there for 10 years (and 5 years in WI before that). I miss some things about MN for sure...not that ever lasting winter though! Will send you a friend request!
