in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm turning 30, and becoming a little porkie.
I'm 5 foot, so being 119 pounds on 5 feet, not so great.

I have to get fit. I've never been "FIT" though, always been kind of doughy.. but I think it's time to do this up, and do it right - with all of you too!

I'm not a diet guru, I am still learning about fitness, foods and calories. but I'm optimistic. and summer is coming, i want to be able to wear shorts and tanks without self consciousness.

Let's do it!!

    Almost 28 but I feel like 30 is catching up quick! I'm in the middle of you two at 5'8 and have always felt doughy too LOL. Although when I look at old pictures I would love to go back to that. Anyway, I too am looking for a few friends, ad me if you like!

    You can add me. I'm on the other side of 30 (and still moping about it) and I also fell off the wagon. In fact, it kind of dragged me behind it for a couple of months. :laugh:

    I'm 5ft too! (I say I'm 5'1 but that is a lie). I've been doing mfp for a while off and on but vie just joined the community and I love it!

    Wow, I'm 5' also and after losing close to 50 lbs, I was *just* feeling fit and trim at 118...

    seems I have so far to go before I'm no longer porky

    [POOF! ] there goes MY self-esteem........

    I turn 32 this year...been watching what I eat since I was turning 30 and have recently started to embrace fitness! It's been an amazing journey losing 58lbs and I still have a way to go (maybe another 20 or 30lbs) but I love MFP and all it offers :)
    Feel free to add me :)

    We all fail. The key is simply to keep trying. You can do it!

    I'm 32 and I lost 30 lbs after having my son almost 3 years ago and I have gained it all back and then some. So i'm way off the wagon too! :) I'll be adding you. Anyone else can feel free to add me as well. I need all the friends I can get. :)

    I'll add you! I'm 5'3" (barely) and was up to 144 lbs! I was looking very porky. Now I'm down to 120, and while I probably could stand to lose 5 more lbs I am also relatively happy with my current body shape! Hope we can support each other! :)
