Hi,

I am a 30 year old, mother of one and I am currently 245 pounds, with a goal weight of 195 pounds. I feel like the older I get the harder it will be to get the weight off so what better time to start than now. I just added the app to my phone and decided to log in and add a few friends for motivation. I know that anything is possible if you want it bad enough and at this point and time I WANT IT. I want to be able to have options and not limitations when I go to the mall (and believe me I LOVE TO SHOP :) So if anyone would like to join me on this journey you are more than needed and welcomed!!

    The best time to always bring yourself to a better healthier you is always NOW!! LoL.. Yes, it is a 'fact' that it gets harder to lose weight as you get older because your metabolism starts to slow down :P I have only been on the site for a week and love it. I have met a few awesome friends already and really love all the site has to offer! I am always up for making new friends so you can feel free to add me!!! GOOD LUCK!!

    I'm a 34 year old mother of 7 and trying to lose 85 pounds. I'm just ending my third day with MFP. I know what you mean about how getting older seems to make it harder! I'd love to add you as a friend. The more support for each other the better!

    Good luck on your journey. I'm 29 and a mother of 2 boys. My goal is to lose at least 30 lbs by my 30th birthday (October 9). You are so right, it is harder to lose the weight the older you get. I was easier for me to drop pounds about 4 or 5 years ago. I wish I would have kept it off than.

    Absolutely!! We are women.. we need options when it comes to clothing. And I totally hear you on the shopping.. I have become quite the little "clothes *kitten*" as my husband likes to call it lol
