    Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer, I'm 33 years old (duh, my profile says that heeheee) ;D. I just joined this group today, but have been an MFP member since April 2011. I joined the military soon after graduating high school (I must admit I was in the best shape of my life). It all kinda went downhill after I got out lol. I recently finished my B.A. in Theater Arts with a minor in business. I'm out in the job market and as a matter of fact, I'll be spending the first week of 2012 in airports and job interviews. I'm hoping this will be a good year for me. It's nice to meet everyone and feel free to add me :)

    Hi there. My name is Melissa. I'm on the cusp of my 34 birthday (in February) and struggling with the idea of being "old". I am a part-time RN at a small rural hospital, a full time mom of 3 active kids (12, 4 and 2 - 2 girls and a boy), married for 6 years. I am just starting to come around to the idea that I need to take care of "me" before I can take care of "them". So here I am at MFP looking for some support from people in the same boat.
    I'd love to be involved in some challenges if they are up and coming and I never turn down the offer of friendship if people are looking for support and an occassional shoulder to lean on.
    Happy New Year to you all!

    Hello all! Just turned thirty about a month ago. My husband and I were married this past summer and now I'm trying to get down to a good healthy weight so we can seriously think about having a baby. I know, sounds crazy to want to lose it before I get pregnant, but the healthier you are before you're pregnant (and are able to keep up that healthiness) the easier it is to get back there, or at least close to it. :)

    I'm a teacher and a dancer. I just dance on the weekends and take classes during the week when I have the time, but sometimes school work gets the best of me. This year is looking pretty busy for me and I've got to find a way to make it through in one piece!

    Wish me luck!

    Hi all, I will be 35 in about two weeks, I have been married for 7yrs but no children yet, my husband and I are both trying to eat better and get healthy for 2012. He just turned 38 and neither one of us are getting any younger...lol so that we can still dance and party together in our 60's and 70's it time that we start taking care of ourselves now :tongue:

    Good luck Meaghan I totally understand as my husband and I want to have children this year but I want to lose the weight before then, also since we have to do ivf this will give us a greater chance at conceiving.
  • Hi everyone,

    I am 32 as of November 2011 and have felt sort of stuck between the 20's and 40's so I love this group idea!

    I have been married for 7 years, work full time and go to school finishing up my masters. I am driven, except I have struggled with health for the past few years and after being told I have borderline high blood pressure I needed to change things.

    I have two dogs and no kids, we will seen in a year or so. For now finsh school, travel, maybe a new job, kinda flexible.

    Big goal for now is to get my weight down and get an athletic build. I think I need to lose at least 60 pounds so I am here for the long haul. I have been working with a small gorup and a trainer and doing metobolic resistance training- totally lve it.

    Basically, my goal is to be strong and look it on the outside too :happy:

    Happy to meet some meet and motivate some new people!
  • :drinker: HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!! Everyone calls me Mo. I'm 38, single, never been married and I have a 20 year old daughter. I'm 6'1" and I am looking forward to meeting more people so I can have others to share in my weight loss journey. I'm hoping to lose 50 pounds or more by the end of the year.

    Hi! I'm 31 and I live in Tucson. I recently found myself gaining weight and wanted some motivation! I'm a mom of a 9 year old boy and recently (March 2010) got together with my one and only true first love! I couldn't be happier, now I want my reflection to match how I feel! I look forward to meeting other people!
  • Hi! Just found this group and excited to meet some cool 30-somethings :) I'm 37 and live in SC. I've struggled with weight forever and the past year, I've gotten really serious and lost a lot, but the last couple of months I've been STUCK!! Starting a juice fast and hopefully the numbers will start going down again! Can't wait to meet you guys. Feel free to friend me :)

    Greetings everyone in my age bracket! I'm Robin aka Six. I just turned 37 in early December. I've been married for almost 13 years and have five beautiful little ladies ages 3-13. I started my weight loss journey officially on January 16, 2011. I had lost 37 lbs, but ended up gaining a few of those back recently. I'm not going to dwell on it because overall, I am far healthier now then I was when I started last year. This year, I am more determined than ever to get the rest of my weight off of me.

    Hi everyone! I'll be turning 30 in one week and I'm hoping to make my thirties better than my twenties. I'm looking to shed the extra weight that's crept up and get in the best shape I've ever been in. Feel free to add me as a friend :)
  • Hello! I am new to MFP, but it seems fantastic! I am at my heaviest weight yet - Ughhh! My husband also just joined MFP and is a great supporter. He does not need to lose as much as I do. It drives me nuts that he loses twice as fast as I do and gets back in the swing of it soooo much easier. He could run a half marathon after a month training! Very proud of him, but I cringe when we compare. I will whine, but I will definitely keep him!

    My job has just had a change and I travel Mon-thursday. I really do not like it, but I am riding it out. It is only temporary (well, 2 year temporary with one year down). So I depress eat or late night binge because we work long days and nights. Glad to find the group for support especially when on the road.

    Happy Healthy 2012. Friend me if you need support and we can do this together!
  • Hello! I'm 34, soon to be 35, working wife and mother of a beautiful 3 year old. I'm new to MFP and would like to make 2012 the year of the rockin' bod!!! I've got some work to do, 25+ lbs, but I'm confident that I can do it with a little support!:wink:

    Hello!! I'm 32 and have a daughter and an autistic son. As a result if he has a bad day, I find something sweet, so now I'm here trying to lose 100lbs-well 99 now. I did this before and lost 20 lbs and then fell to family pressure and did weight watchers with them and gained it all back :-( It did include 2 very bad months for me. So I'm back to what works! But this time I'm taking advantage of the message boards!

    HI I'm Tracey.I'm 32 and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Hypothyroidism, makes loosing weight an uphill struggle.

    Currently i'm using a static bike on the lower resistance setting and Exerbest gym class workout on the wii. Both are low impact so no stress on my joints.

    I have a blog http://tiredofbeing2tired.blogspot.com where i post a daily blog about how im coping, what im trying and what i find out about CFS alont the way.

    I was recommended this site as i have wasted money on weight watchers and tescos diets both of which didnt loose me a single lbs but cost me lost of £££'s.

    I'm also allergic to wheat, severely allergic to wheat and aspartame, which means alot of diet and none sugar food/drinks are a no go too.

    Coping everyday and my husband stops my buying chocolate. To date I havent had a single peice of choclate single boxing 2011 to 1 month and counting. It's not easy tho, I crave chocolate everyday.

    YAY!!! So glad I found this group :) I was just thinking about starting a 30-something topic and figured I should do a "search" first. And here I am!!!

    My name is Jenn, I'm 33 years old and will be turning 34 in April. I am a single mom to the most beautiful little girl (3 1/2 years old) and a new addition to the family, out 5 month old kitten. I've always been on the bigger side of things but the post-pregnancy bulk put me over anywhere I had ever been.

    Last year I started running for the first time in my life and ran my first 5k in June. After that, I let myself slip again and now I'm back to do it right this time. I hate the back and forth of being motivated and then completely losing momentum so even though I slipped, I never let go of MFP. I honestly believe it is this site, and moreso the people on here, that are going to take me to where I want to be.

    I'm not going to lie, the 30's have been rough. And at some points, it's absolutely sucked. But I want to not only improve my physical self but also my mental self. Looking forward to getting to know you all!!! :heart:
  • Hi there - My name is Heather. I live outside of Atlanta, GA. I am 30 (31 in March) - I recently married my best friend - we had been together for 10 years before we decided to make it official. I have been battling a 15-20 lb weight loss for probably 8-10 years now. I am currently at 154.6 - my goal is 145 by April 1st and then my ultimate goal would be 135. I have started on this journey yet again as of yesterday and need as much support as I can possibly get - so any motivation thrown my way would be much appreciated :-)

    thank you!!

    Join the club! My husband switched from sweet tea to half sweet/unsweet and loses 5 pounds in one week. Some dudes are just lucky!
