Hello everyone,
My name is Sara or Sari for short and I just turned 30 last month!
No kids here, but my boyfriend and I will be celebrating our two year anniversary next month! Yay! I am currently unemployed but I volunteer part time in the adoption center of a pet store in conjunction with a local animal shelter. I am going back to school in a couple of months to take some Spanish and medical billing classes for a career as a bilingual medical records clerk.
My hobbies include writing I love to write mostly poetry but I love photography, painting, drawing, doing crossword puzzles, making beaded necklaces and bracelets, stamp and coin collecting, meditation, yoga, hiking and water aerobics.
My boyfriend and I are going to get fishing licenses this spring and maybe go canoeing. I feel I can take on the world now that i'm getting healthier and all excited and revved up about fitness I can actually keep up with him he's 6' and 190 at my highest I was 157 at 4'9'' I've lost 4 lbs. so far so I'm ready to keep on livvin' it up CUZ LIFE BEGINS AT 30, WOO-HOO!!! :P

Hi all!
My name is John, and I recently turned 35 last week (5/8). Since I'm feeling old, I figured it was time for a change.... I mean I really shouldn't feel old at 35, right?
Anyway, married and have 2 kids, 4 and 13 (oh the fun angst filled teenage years are just starting). My wife was recently diagnosed with carciniod cancer, so there's quite a bit of stress in my life. However, I'm using that as just another reason to get back into shape, so that I can be there for her and the kids.
I'm a database administrator by trade, which means that I spend a good part of my waking life in front of a computer... it also means that I work too much, which is my own fault.
Hope to meet some great people on here, and hope that I can help out when I can.0 -

Hi! I'm Catherine, a 30 year old mom of a 22 month old boy. I work full time (+++) so I'm having trouble fitting workouts in with family time and sleep. Pre-baby I was a size 2, now I'm an extra curvy size 6 and while I know I'm not fat, I really miss my old body.0

Welcome to the newbies in our wonderful 30 somethings group. I just wanted to say that you can get in short workouts(we are talking anywhere from 4-20 min.) with bodyrocktv and zwow on youtube. They are short and hard and when you get used to them you can just make up your own versions. They are considered HIIT workouts and are effective strength training and cardio in one! It's a great stress reliever too!0

Hello everyone! My name is Nicole, I'm 31 and a single mother of the most amazing 6 year old girl! I work full-time, but i put in my hours in 3 days +/- . I am constantly surrounded by the most delicious yet horrible for you foods (due to my work) so it can be very trying to stay healthy. i also quit smoking in february and refuse to gain any weight because of it. I'm determined to stay healthy, run a 5k (started the couch to 5k program) and be a great role model for my daughter.0

Hello, My name is Denise and I am 38. I have one son (11) and 2 step son's (21, 27). I work full time and volunteer with Scouts. I feel like I am still young and should be going out with my husband but we seem to lives like people 3x our age. We wake up go to work, maybe scout event and then go to bed. We go out once a year for our anniversary. I have been so depressed that I have no life lately and have put back on the 30lbs I lost last year. I am starting over already 7lbs gone.
Most of my motivation is from my son, we just found out about 2months ago he has high choresterol and 99%BMI for his age. I want to help him get his weight down by being a good role model and supporter. I love him and if I could get some of the weight off again we could do alot more activities together which would only benefit us both.
I really dont want him to go thru all that I have with my weight. Maybe if we can tackle it together we can stop this yo yo effect and live more exciting lives and be healthier and not need pills and so many doctor appointments.
I love my son and will do whatever I can to help him get his weight and choresterol down.

Hey I am James. I have been big all my life. 3 times I have lost weight and looked great to the point of having a 6 pack at one time. Then I got lazy and gained it all back. In my best I was 225 now back in feb of 2012 I was at 305 my heaviest ever. It's cost me a lot and I want to fix it. Too my blood pressure has been getting high when I was heavier.0

Hello! Just joined this group. I think I'm way to late for the 3 month challenge, but will be here for the start of the next challenge!
I'm 32, no kids, from NYC area, and am in a wonderful relationship. I was pretty fat in my 20's, but I drank a lot of beer! :drinker:
Although I'm currently a pack-a-day smoker, I'm trying to be more health conscious. I plan to stop smoking everything on June 1st, but I'd prefer to be thin by then... But I'm 2 lbs. over my starting weight, so my big plan didn't work.
Anyway, happy to be here, glad to meet you all, and looking forward to losing weight with you guys and being an active member this group 0 -

Hy everyone. I'm 31 and working to lose 35 pounds. I tend to be an on again, off again person when it comes to weightloss, but I'm at it again. Starting by exercising and back to tracking what I eat. Hope to get to know you guys 0

Hello! I'm Kris, and I'm 30. I work full time at a small electric motor shop as the Vice President. I am a very happily married momma of 1 6yo son and 3 stepsons, 12, 13 and 18. We live for today because we are never granted tomorrow. Love to go out and have fun. Anything active is great for me. I had a complete abdominal hysterectomy 10/21/11 due to severe endometriosis. Since the surgery I have gained 40lbs! I went to my general doctor and asked for blood work a few weeks ago and found I had no vitamin D in me as well as being on the verge of hypothyriodism. So I got a D3 1000mg supplement I take daily which helps a ton with my mood and energy and completely changed my eating habits. I went from eating out for lunch at fast food 5 days a week as well as eating out at dinner type restaurants at least 4 nights a week to packing my lunch every work day which is 468 calories and cooking a healthy meal at home during the week as well and only eating out 1 night on the weekend. I completely cut out soda from my diet so that counts for most of my weight loss so far.
I look forward to sharing and supporting my fellow 30 something weight loss buddies.0 -

Maybe then I'll know where my 30's go 0

Hi Guys
I'm Claudine, 33 and from Montreal. I started MFP primarily for a trip planned at the end of the summer and to feel better about myself in general. I am on the right path exercise wise however I still have a few struggles here and there with my food intake and choices. Everybody welcome to add me as a friend for motivation, moral support or anything else. Cheers!0 -
I am here but still not ready to admit I am 31! I am married, 2 kids: 7 year old and almost 1 year old. They both keep me way busy at home and I work full time. I also have a "third kid" . . . my husband. I am finding that after my second child, years later, is taking a lot longer to get this weight off than it did with my first one when I was 24. So . . . I'm here 0

Hello! I'm Cindy and I am 30 years old. I am married and have three active boys: 8,6, &5. I had all three of those boys by the time that I was 25, so I have been looking forward to my thirties...it has just always felt like life would be more settled! At one point in my life I had lost 60 pounds, then I got pregnant again! Not sure what the heck happened with that pregnancy, but I pretty much started gaining all my weight back from the moment of conception! He had a lot of health issues when he was born and passed away at 5 months, almost 2 years ago now. Since his birth I have done nothing about my weight (he required quite an extended stay at a children's hospital for the first 12 weeks of his life and then his home care was quite extensive, so obviously that is where my focus was) so I gained all I had lost plus some extra. It's time to get back on track, get rid of the extra weight and work out my blues. My 10 year wedding anniversary is next June and I plan on looking HOT! 0
