Is this your year to hit the big 30?

I hit 30 last year and as the moment of my birth approached, I held my breat and.............nothing changed! I love being in my 30s - am a lot more confident. I believe that you gain brilliance as you get older - in your 20s you are pretty, in your 30s you gain beauty and then from 40s+ you gain elegance.

Oh my gosh, my 30's were the BEST ever! Don't dread it, roll with it! Sure beats the alternative!

I'm going to be 30 in July, and I can honestly say, I'm not scared at all! My reason is this: this is MY decade! I wasted a lot of my 20s being overweight and miserable. There were good times - I got married in 2002, had a baby boy in 2009... but I has so many physical restrictions by allowing myself to be overweight and unhealthy. And I'm changing that now. It is a slow process, but you know what? THAT'S OK! I'm about to turn 30 - I may have wasted my 20s, but I'm not wasting my 30s! This is a new beginning - a fresh start. 30 is going to mark the new me! Every July I get another year older, so why should this be different? Because we are socially taught that it is a turning point in life! Well, it IS a turning point - for me and my health. I'm just another year older and the number means nothing. But I decided to attach a meaning of my own - HEALTH! I'm going to do all the things in my 30s that I could not do in my 20s! Yay 30!!

Feel free to add me if you want friends to support you!! :bigsmile:

I turn 30 in July. Not dreading it to much, but there are times I'm like "Wow, I'm getting old" and "Where did the last decade go?". I spent (wasted?) my 20's on my career. I just got married a couple of months ago and I plan on spending my 30's focused on family and enjoying life! :-)

I will be 30 in May 2012, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I know that my 20ties were also spent being a mom and a wife, I am still a mom, but have been divorced for a few months now and ready to get my life back. I will be in a bikini this summer, which I have never been before and I want to be happy with myself and healthy for my children when I hit my 30rties

I just turned 30 last month, and it was a pretty big deal for me! I'm still getting used to thinking of myself as a thirtysomething and coming to terms with the fact that my twenties are gone forever. It makes me sad because time passes SO quickly! I tend to dwell on things, though. lol But, I am very happy with who I am and where I am in life (married, no kids by choice, job I love, etc.) so maybe 30 isn't quite so bad!

I will be 30 next year. But that has sort of been my motivation for really being serious about getting the weight off. I know that this is probably a really dumb goal, but I want to be able to wear a sparkly party dress for my 30th celebration! I have a lot to lose and even though 30 is a little over a year away, that's what I'm working towards. And I just don't want to be overweight after that point. I also just got married a little over a year ago, and I know the next step is having a baby in a couple years. I just don't want to be overweight when I get pregnant, because I know that can cause additional health risks.

This is my year to hit the big 5-0...only wish I was 30 again!

Im 30 in October and im not overly happy about it! Its just come round too quick for my liking, it doesnt seem long ago i was 21! Although, the last few years of my 20's have been very tough so i should be glad to start a new chapter in my 30's. My 20's were spent getting married and having babies and alot of stressful times, Ive never really had the fun I should have had(not that getting married n having babies isnt fun, but you kow what i mean) so hopefully turning 30 will be a good thing . And I wanna look good for it too

I turned 30 last December, it did bother me, mostly the day of my birthday. But I am fine with it now. Its just a number. I am 30 and thriving! And in the best shape of my adult life! :happy:

I will be 30 in September, goal is down 30 by 30 (hopefully more, but down 40 by 30 isn't as catchy). LOL! Need to be healthy so that 30 isn't as daunting. Not sure how I feel about it yet, but I am sure as September approaches the number might freak me out a little, but it is just a number and I hope to look and feel better then most of my 20's!

OMG Yes! I turn 30 in May and i'm not looking forward to it, I also spent my 30's just being mommy and raising my daughter. She will be 11 this year, so I think it's time to start thinking about me a little more too!

30- just scares me! lol and motivates me!

I'll be 30 in May. It's been freaking me out and bearing down on me ever since I turned 29 (actually, probably since I turned 28), but just recently I started to think about it... my 20's have sucked. There have been good moments, but a lot of it has been crappy. But I've learned so much and gained so much confidence in that time, so now I know I should actually be excited for my 30's. They're going to be so much better than my 20's. I'm going to do all the things I've been wanting to do but was too afraid. Bring it on!

30 in June. This is going to be my decade of FUN - gonna get my ears triple pierced, party while looking hot (well, hot for ME), possibly have a tattoo done.
