Hi, I'm 36 and have 4 beautiful girls. Been married since I was 18 years old and it's time for me to make a change and lose to excess weight! Joined today! Can't wait to see results!

Hey Turned 31 recently, looking to drop about 40 lbs and be closer to 200 instead of 240. Been doing the Body by Vi nutritional meal replacement shakes for the last 2 weeks and am down about 10 pounds so far!

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!

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.

Welcome to the 30's Somethings group John! It seems like you have some motivators to keep you going. I hope all turns out well for your family.

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.

Welcome to the 30's Somethings group Catherine! I hear you on the no time thing I work full time and have 2 boys, a hubby is school and a dog. lol Just start small. I started walking about 10 minutes a day (5 mins out/5 mins back) you will see how easy it is to see and feel a difference with just that little time.

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.
