Hi everyone!

I'm new here and looking for support. I'm a married grad student living in NYC. My life currently revolves around my studies, so eating healthy hasn't been a priority. Looking to make a few changes in 2012. I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 174 pounds - 12 more than I did 2 summers ago (pre-grad school) but 3 less than the day that I got married (5.5 years ago).

Look forward to making some new friends :)

    Hello! I'm also 30 and I need to lose about 15kg (I think this is around the 30 lb mark?) I am married with 5 kids, having just had my last baby 6 weeks ago. Also, I am from Australia. It would be nice to get to know some other people in the same boat as me. :happy:

    You're more than welcome to add me. I'm 30 too. I have a little more than you to lose, but there's nothing wrong with rooting each other on :) I'm a native NYer living in FL now. Good luck!

    I'm 32 and just graduated with my masters in August so I can absolutely relate to unhealthy eating! I'll send you a friend request:) I just joined 10 days ago and am looking for friends, too.
