I am turnig 30 in a few days and it has always been my goal to be "fit" by the time I was 30. I was very skinny until I got married at 21, then had 3 kids in 6 years, and now I am 35 lbs over what I was when I got married. I am not striving to be what I was then, because it was a bit too thin, but I do want to lose 20 lbs. My baby was born 3 months ago and I am finally feeling well enought to lose this weight. It is hard to stop all of my uynhealthy habits. I need a trick...someone said to chew gum when I get that craving. I just love sweets.

But none-the-less, I am super excited to start this journey of a healthier lifesyle. I am excited about finding this site, because I know I don't want to go at this alone.

    Despite the fact that you didn't reach your goal by 30, don't let that stop you. Strive to meet your goal anyway! I'll be 30 next spring so I know how ya feel....but only having 20 pounds to lose isn't so bad, I've lost 20 since April. So just think, you could be at your goal by Valentines Day! When you are craving sweets, have some, but in moderation. Trust me, once you get used to (actually addicted) to logging your calories and paying attention to what you're consuming, you'll think twice before popping that cookie in your mouth before dinner, or having a candy bar here, or a peice of cake there. You can do it!!!!!:drinker:
