edited November 9 in Introduce Yourself
I'm 27 this year (September) so a few years until the big 3-0 however I want to be fit and healthy when I do reach that age. I know this weight loss is going to take a while and I am in it for the long run as a lifestyle change not just a quick fix! I'm looking for new friends to motivate me and keep me going please feel free to add me and I will do the same for you :-)

    I said the same thing when I signed up August 2013! I'm now a month off being 30, reached my goal weight in August last year, and I'm now lifting and building muscle. I didn't think it was doable, but it was! Good luck to you :)

    Because it seems a reasonable goal to reach.

    I'm not going to sit here and be like 'yeh I want to loose 10lbs a week and get to my goal weight by summer!' because I know for me that isn't realistic.

    I'll be 28 in a couple months and would love to be fit before I'm 30 as well! I know I need to make some lifestyle changes and eating healthier is on the top of my list! Can we create a "group" to help encourage and motivate one another?

    This is my goal too - but I have a little less time than some of you. I chose 30 because everyone keeps telling me that I am just getting older and should accept my body changes. I have decided that, instead, I will be more fit on my 30th birthday than I have been thus far in my life and carry those habits forward!

    I am 28, I turn 29 this summer...so about a year and a half. I have already lost a large chunk of my goal weightloss, so I have some more to go and a lot of shaping-up to do!

    what?

    it's not okay to agree that losing 10 pounds a week is bad?

    MFP needs to start sending out better memos if agreeing with someone is gonna be banned this year. jfc.

    Same idea here decided i was going to get fit by 30 at the same age as the OP, been going to the gym for a few years and had some great progress. Learn to love the grind and you will do just fine :)

    I'm 28, 30 in 14 months... I can do that. Fit by 30 it is!
    That's like 3 lbs a month... oooohhh that math makes me happy and WAY more motivated. One month at a time, one week at a time, one day at a time. Here we go!

    I'm full up on friends, but I did want to stop in and say congratulations for coming in here and picking a starting point. For some it's a goal date, for some it's a distance milestone, for others it's a dress size.

    Your goal isn't unrealistic. A lot can be accomplished in three years. Just be reasonable with your goals, and keep focusing on the prize.

    I won't wish you luck, because you don't need that. Instead I wish you the determination you need to stick to it when you are tired, or emotional, or injured. That is where your biggest victories are won.
