Hello. My name is Marcie and I'm 37 years old, mother of 2 fun loving boys (2 and 3 yr old). Work full time, married for 5 year come October. I'm been on MFP since Jan 7th 2015. We started a Biggest Loser challenge at work that ends March 11th 2015. I love this website I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. I've lost 18 lbs so far and plan to continue my journey after the challenge. The best parts of being on MFP is the support of everyone, meeting new friends and it's FREE!!!!

Hi, my name is Jason. I am 36 years old and have been married for almost 12 years. I have three kids ages 10, 7, and 4. I have tried so many times to lose this weight using all kinds of methods, including my fitness pal in the past. I am trying something new this time through my company called the freedom to eat program. It's a holistic program that involves counseling, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, medical monitoring, and the spiritual aspect of life. I have nearly 200 pounds to lose. I'm looking for people who are actually using the my fitness pal app and are on a weight loss journey for mutual support and encouragement along the way. Feel free to add me if this is you.

Hello... please feel free to add me.

Hello all, nice to hear from fellow thirty something's! I'm 36 and have a 12 year old daughter who is also struggling with her weight. I realized that the best way I can help her is by setting a good example and getting off my butt to do something about my own weight! I'm hoping the support and encouragement on here will help me stay motivated I've learned this is not nearly as easy at it was in my twenties. The weight doesn't seem to come off as fast and that is super frustrating. But having pain and being uncomfortable because of my weight is even MORE frustrating. I shouldn't feel like an old lady at this age but I'm the only one who can change that!

32 female new to this site looking for friends and motivation for weightloss x

So 33 is fun...except for the part where my metabolism which quit working 10 years ago still isn't back! Here's to trying again to lose weight!

Hello! Just finishing up my first year in the 30s and I've finally (*finally!*) got the kick in the pants I needed to get my life in order. First order of business is to lose the weight at last. After a month, I'm down 11 lbs with about 57 to go! This isn't my first time on MFP, but so far it's my most successful.

I'm interested in making friends here (hello!) so feel free to add me if you're looking for that too. Also, I was wondering if anybody here is training for a triathlon? I've decided to go for my first sprint tri at the end of the summer but I'd like to connect with others who are training for one too (doesn't have to be a first!).

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Hi am debb. Am 33 and about 21lb over my goal weight. I have 3 teenage boys so i dont get to keep fit running about after them anymore lol. I live in north east of england and im looking for motivation and maybe yo make friends. X

Hello all!! Name is Mandy. Located near Savannah Ga at the moment. Married to an army man, I have 2 precious little hellions (13 and 10) and having a blast with life at the moment.

I have some things I'm working on..such as my health/weight. I turned 35 in February and had a wellness check. Found I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I knew the number on the scales were slowly creeping up and I kept thinking that I would get to it....right after I finished watching mad men. LOL!! (So bummed that show is ending.) The doctors scale said something to me that was very offensive. It said I had made it to 190 lbs! It was a wake up call for me.

Stats: 35 years old,
5'4 height
184.3 lbs today

So, here I am, 3 weeks into my "journey". (Started getting serious March 18, 2015). Strategy at this time to to keep calories at 1200, hoofing it on the elliptical at least 30-60 minutes daily, yoga at least 20 minutes daily, and doing some Jillian Michaels video around 3 x a week (thanks youtube).

I've hit the frustration of things not happening as quickly as I'd like. I made the rookie mistake of not taking my measurements before I started. I can tell my face is slimmer and my endurance is better (5 minutes no longer feels like an hour on the elliptical, I can hold a plank for a minute and do 2 minutes of jumping jacks like it was nothing). That part does feel really good. It's just that the scale and I are not friends right now. I don't know what I did to garner such animosity but if it doesn't change soon it's going to have to leave. It's really hurting my feelings guys.

So, ultimately, I'm here looking for some hints and tips, motivation and some accountability.

Nice to meet you all and you look marvelous!

Hi all! I'm Marie, 33 years old.. I have 2 wonderful children. 7 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. I work as a night shift RN at a psychiatric hospital, which can be tough to avoid stress eating at times!

I lost weight in my early 20s, just to gain it back , plus some, through a controlling, abusive marriage and 2 pregnancies. I lost 40 of that and kept it off... But other than that just been up and down .. been back at it , have lost 9lbs (hopefully more at weigh in tomorrow) so far and just feel more dedicated this time around.

Wishing you all the best!!

Hi! My name is Angela. I'm 37. I have no children (don't tell my dogs I sid that ) I am adjusting to single life after a painful divorce. I'm taking this time to heal and rebuild myself I guess you could say. For many years, I ignored my physical health but now more than ever it is important for me to be well in mind, body and spirit. I tend to keep to myself alot but I'm trying to change that too. I wish everyone here nothing but the best
