    Hi!

    My name is Sergio and I already lost count of the times I tried to lose weight.

    I am currently leaving in Spain but I will be moving to Canada after the summer. I'm 33. I'm 1.83m and I weight 103 kgs (6 foot and over 220 pounds).

    My main problem is the lack of consistency. I can keep healthy habits for 2 weeks and then I always go back to no exercising and crappy fast food.

    It has a lot to do with stress I believe. It is just hectic at work, but since I will be moving after the summer at least I see the end of the tunnel by leaving this job.

    So now I don't have any more excuses and I want to get seriously fit. I don't want to end up in an Iron Man, but I would be proud if I can finish a triatlon someday!

    But as a first step I would love to finish any of my soccer games without pain everywhere!

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Aubrey. I'm 33 and I'm a single mom of 3 little ones. I've been working hard for 3 months now to lose weight and get healthy after 6 years of allowing autoimmune diseases to keep me down. I've lost 35 pounds so far and have about 20 more to go before I get to my goal. I'm excited to be here and get to know some likeminded people!

    Hey. Melissa here. I'm 33, an artist and a curator. I got into an accident two years ago this coming September that changed my life. Since the accident I've lost 95 pounds. This last 10 to reach 100 has been quite the struggle. Happily I've got 30 more to lose and then I've reached my ultimate goal. And dammit, I'm going to do it.

    I'm losing the weight to do what I can to live longer and happier with my husband, and because my father has heart issues. MyFitnessPal has been a genius addition to my life.

    Nice to meet you all.

    Hi. I'm Jake and I'm 35. I've been using the yo-yo dieting/exercise method for about 2 years now. I seem to be able to do a decent job getting below the 200 mark when I am REALLY on the wagon, just I fall off and go right back to that 215-220 range. I'm hoping to get down to around 185 (give or take) and stay there. I do know when I'm on the wagon I do some weight lifting but run more than anything.

    My big problem is lack of people around me who are very motivational so I'm hoping this will help when I start with the "I don't feel like it" and start looking for excuses not to do it. I am hoping I can meet some people who are willing to help keep me on track!

    Hi, I am new to the site and I'm making the rounds on the groups I've just discovered introducing myself. I will be 33 next month. Mom with 3 kids. Trying to do better for them and myself. I look forward to reading all the awesome topics!

    Hey there, I'm Kelly, 33 years old. I am a mom of six kids and though my body has held up well, my metabolism has slowed significantly and I'd liked to lose about 20 lbs. I have no support or help or guidance towards healthy living, working out, eating right, and getting fit in real life, so I do hope that I am able to find some of that here.

    HI,

    I think I might be one of the younger 30 somethings...30 counts right?? Well almost 31!

    I have been on the lifestyle change kick for a long time..down 110 with around 100 more to go....

    I can say that I am very happy to be single again after a long relationship...I joke that I actually lost 250 extra pounds! :laugh:

    I am in the early stages of starting a gluten free diet.

    Looking forward to the challenges...they look like so much fun!

    Hi all,

    Looking forward to participating in an active group. I've found over the years that it's definitely better to have like-minded folks to provide support.

    My goals are mostly performance-related .. I've really been getting in to the whole obstacle racing / Ninja Warrior thing lately. :)

    Add me and I'll add you. B-)
  • Hello. My name is Megan. I just recently started using My Fitness Pal again because I needed to get back on track big time. Especially with my calorie intake. I also really need motivation from others so hopefully I can get that from you! I am 36, married and we have 2 kids. Our oldest is 18 and going to college in August and our youngest is 6 going into 1st grade.
  • Hi all, I'm Martin, 37, Colchester, UK. Just rejoined MFP after a 4yr break. I'm divorced and father of my 6yr old daughter. I want to get in shape to make sure I can enjoy my time with her as much as possible (and she told me I had a podgy belly, the cheek!)

    Add me, Thanks.

    Hello Everyone!

    I'm 32, single mum of 2 kids, 2 dogs. I have to say, being in my 30s has really facilitated a lot of awareness that was absent in my 20s.

    I became a mom at 18, so my mid-40s are reserved for the possibilities only afforded to one who's kids have flown the nest. I'd rather not be saddled with a heart condition and diabetes, hence the beginning of my MFP journey.

    I'm working on some huge health/weight loss goals and can use all the support/friends I can get! Feel free to add me :D

    After 2 kiddos, I was heavier than I felt comfortable with. I have lost the weight and now i am in maintenance. I just found this group amazing enough!

    I am a runner, triathlete, mama of 2 little boys and an accountant.
  • Hi everyone! I am a 31 year old, married, working mom of 2. I have never used MFP before and am hoping it will be a useful tool to get me back in shape. I am looking forward to the journey and making friends.

    Hello! Looks like a great group! I'm a 35 yo mother of 2 (10&6) and am getting really close to my goal!!!! :) I'm a competitive badminton player from Vancouver Island and this was the first summer in 17 years that I went through off season training; running and weights! So proud of myself! I'm looking forward to next season being faster on court, slipping into maintenance, and more performance based fitness goals.

    Good luck to everyone on their MFP journeys!

    Hi All!

    I started my fitness plan today since last weekend I ran my first 5K ever :) It's great reading all your posts, definitely motivating! Being 31 with a full time schedule made me realize that it's time to get down to healthy business! It's now or never :) Feel free to add me for motivational support.
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    I am 32yo female looking to get back on the healthy track. I am 5'7 175lbs hoping to get down tow 150-155lbs. I small goal for the moment is to get out and stay out of the 170'. It can get a bit crazy for me as I work long crazy hours and my bf is the size of a twig that sabotages me either on purpose or just unbeknownst to himself. I need some friends that will help with food ideas, keep me on track and make me accountable for my choices. I am trying to go low carb, no sugar, fruits veggies ect and trying to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. If there's anyone with the same goals let me know. I can use a friend to help keep me going. Feel free to add me.

    My goal 10-15lbs by halloween
  • Hi MFPs,

    I'm a 35 year old Canadian female. Joined MFP yesterday. I've been successful on the Ideal Protein diet but I know that's not a life time program. I have 30 lbs to lose to hit my goal and then I'm turning to fitness to keep this weight off. MFP is awesome for meeting like minded people with similar goals. Feel free to add me.

    Good luck everyone,
    Jessica
