Women in their 30s trying to get back on track!

So I'm on day three of this new workout regime that I have incorporated into my normal routine and OMFG I'm sore as sh!+ today! It's a good sore, and I think I'm over the period and migraine hump of last week so yay! Who knew that your 30's was just one type of ache or pain after another lol!

I will admit that I usually use weekends to go off the rails a bit…but this weekend was surprisingly good! I had a cupcake Friday night…which after having some vegan ice cream at lunch that day was probably not needed…but oh well. Other than that, I stayed on plan and in my macro/calorie goals so yay! I got my groceries for the next two weeks and got all of my breakfasts and lunches prepped for this week, worked out on Saturday and rested Sunday. Today is a rest day also and then it’ll be back to the exercise grind tomorrow morning. How was everyone’s weekend?

35 and trying to lose weight. Stupid sugar addiction! Am now trying smoothies instead of cookies for a bit of something sweet. Would love to offer/receive support! The power of a group!

Hey everyone. I'm 32, and have two kids ages 6 and 12. I've used this app before but thought i would give it a go again hoping that i can keep better track of what i consume each day. Everyone always says i'm skinny, and don't have weight to lose, and that makes me so mad. I'm tall that's all... 5 Ft 9, and 152 lbs. I tend to gain my weight in my but hips and thighs and, lower belly. I agree, i don't need to lose a lot of weight but i need to tone up, and lose at least a few lbs. When i look in the mirror i see the tummy, and the saddle bags... O how i have the Saddle bags. In the next couple months i'm going to renew my gym membership but for know i have the beach, my treadmill and weight bench, as well as my bike. I find myself watching you tube videos about how to train like a victoria secret model ext... I guess i'm envious of the girls that are not even models because i wonder how they find the time in there day. Like do they work, or just live off mom and dad. I want to see a video were they talk about there day to day schedule, and fitting in there workouts. For me I'm a mom, and i work two jobs to care for my kid. I wake up at 6:30 am and get the girls ready, then my self, and get the little one to school by 7:20, and get to work at 7:30. Then i work until 4:30. I try to get home and work out for an hr on the treadmill before going to get the little one at school by 6 pm. I did not mention that i have a step son every other week that i take care of too, and on those weeks its hard because i get him right after work. And if i have to work my night job then i have to adjust that whole schedule. Not to mention everything that being a mother entails (cleaning cooking activities ext.) in addition to feeding yourself something different then what you give your kids.

I'm very motivated to lose weight, and i do eat pretty good, but i'm trying to eliminate sugar. Not so much keto but close to it....The struggle is real being a mom, still young, and trying to take some time out to focus on YOU!

Hi, I'm Terri.


Heres a photo of my happy poodle on the oregon coast.

Hey! Are you in OR? I'm in Portland!

Also....I've got that same 40 that's been hanging around about seven years....I gotta get it off!

I started MFP when I was 25, but I'm 33 now, sooo...

I have gotten much healthier in my later 20s and early 30s. I've been a happy maintainer for several years, but moved across the country two years ago. This turned out to be a mistake, and I gained 10 or 15lb the first year and a half or so.

I've taken that back off, but now I'm working on those last 5-10 vanity pounds, because I'm also finally getting off my butt and going to graduate school this fall. I prefer to be at my best for that endeavor. That, and make the best first impression possible.

I work out 5 days a week, I know can’t succeed without major focus on healthy eating 😩

Good luck !

Its so hard especially when I'm always on the go. Its so easy to just drive thru somewhere and grab something to eat.

The trouble at this age is life gets in the way, work, family, stress.

Hey everyone.... I'm 31 , but don't feel a day over 30 haha. I'm back on the 'find myself again' buzz. I've got a five year old and recently finished study so now it's my time to re-fire the bounce in my step (instead of a jiggle) and would really like a hand to keep myself motivated

Heeeeey everybody. I'm 31, no kids, no husband, no desire for either, just a cat and potentially an axolotl on the way. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Currently weigh less now than I did in highschool, but I still have 50 to lose to get to my goal weight. It's been nice to be back on it. Did this once when I was 26-ish and overdid it and ate the weight all back pretty quickly. I'm definitely taking it slower this time. My mental health is a lot better this time, so that's really the big thing that I think will help me this time around.

100% Mental state is key for a successful weightless. I can relate

I'm 31 and I need all the motivation and support I can get!
