FRIENDS WANTED: 30 Years Old with 30kg+ to lose!

Hi everyone! My name's Jannah, I'm 30 and have over 30kg (65lb) to lose!

I have used and experienced great success with MFP before, but with a lot of big life changes (marriage, graduating university, working a new job) my health just fell down the priority list and I stopped taking care of myself as well as I should.

I have recently become a vegetarian, and have adopted clean eating principles. While I am a very strict vegetarian, I am not always so strict with clean eating... I would like to change that!

I find having motivational friends on MFP to be one of the most important motivators. I have a lot of great friends on here already, but because of a prolonged absence/lapse in commitment, many of them have left MFP.

I WOULD LOVE SOME MORE FRIENDS!

Feel free to add me if your story is similar, or even if it is not.
Or even post your own 'friends wanted' below.

Jannah :)

    I just turned 30! Happy to join the club :) I wanna (WILL!) drop 2 pants sizes by my family's Christmas party. My baby is almost one year old.... so no more excuses! MFP has always been my most successful tool, so I just came back today, and I'm committing to logging in and tracking every single day. I'll add you Jannah! And I'd love for anyone else to add me - I like being held accountable!! :)

    Hello Jannah, I'm 30 too! and have become vegetarian a little bit than a year ago. I'd like to lose about 40lb.
    I've been here in MFP for almost three weeks, and visit the community everyday looking for advice and motivation to keep this new life style. Feel free to add me :D
  • I have lost nearly 90 lbs and would be glad to help any of you :)))

    I'm 34 and started exactly a year ago - have been 25kg overweight for over a decade and missed out on so much throughout my 20s and its really my own fault. I have managed to lose 15kg so far by going Vegan and exercising, though at first it was torture. I tried many times before and never succeeded because it just seemed to hard, too long to go. too much...- this time i just won't give up, even though I've been stalling for 2 months now. How do you add friends here? its a great idea for mutual support :)
