    Hi,

    I'm 33, 5'9 3/4'', cw 151, gw 145 (although weight is not really my goal...I'm aiming for 18.5%BF, currently at 19.2% and I was 22.6% in January).

    I eat healthy and about 1550cals/day + exercise (so I'm not the right motivator/friend if your goal is to eat bellow 1200cals). I weight lift 3 hours a week (spread on 4 days) and do cardio about 6 days a week (anywhere from 30min to 1hour).

    Feel free to send me a friend request. I log in every day and my food journal is open to friends.

    Yeah I like to eat, just mostly do portion control, calorie tracking on this, and workout about five days a week. :). Glad to be your pal.

    Me too. Usually people want 26 and under and I've been 27 for 6 months so that's a big fat no. :)

    The age doesn't really matter that much, more important is people that actually use this and help each other.

    I'm 34, happily married and had three kids in three years. Trying to get my body back! lol. SW 153, CW 145, GW 125-130. I'm trying to be healthier, not just skinnier. ;) I was 120 when I got married 6.5 years ago. I feel that was a little too thin. I'm currently working on the 30 day shred, I eat at least 1200 calories a day, and eat my exercise calories back. Feel free to add me. :)

    I am 37 with a cw of 235 .I am 5'3" my goal weight is 145. I am at my wits end with all of these different diets. I have joined Zumba recently. I have been told that in order to burn fat,I need to eat protein, such as nuts, fish, turkey, bananas etc.... How does this work? Do you eat what you want as long as you stay within your limit? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I eat basically what I want within serving and portion sizes. I try to eat a few servings of fruit a day, along with a veggie at lunch and dinner. Saturday is my "faturday" where I kinda eat bad, and try not to worry about it that much. I don't eat fast food except subway on occasion. If I go out toes eat on occasion, I try and make smart choices and eat half of what I used to eat. I also workout five days a week. I'll Friend ya and you can check out my diary. I'll support ya :)

    I'm 36. SW 171; CW 160. GW? Not completely sure, but 150 is the number in my head. My goal is really centered more on how I look/feel vs. weight, so the final number may be something more or less than 150.

    I log all food and exercise each day and am looking to add more friends. I started out only using MFP on my phone, but have been logging on the site multiple times a day for the past 2 weeks and have found it really motivating. I probably log in 3 - 5 times each day and leave feedback for someone each time I log in.

    First, don't think of this as a diet. Think of it as a lifestyle change as you are changing your lifestyle to become an even better, healthier version of yourself.

    it takes some time to get adjusted, but basically you need to figure out what works best for your body. if you hit a plateau, you need to re-adjust what you've been doing until you hit another groove.

    there is no right answer because, like i said, your body is unique. some people feel they need 150 grams of protein, some only get 60 grams. some exercise 6 days a week, some exercise 4. Some people do better with lots of fiber (I get 30 grams) some prefer to get 15-20 grams.

    Theoretically you can eat what you want as long as you stay within your goals, but everyone has a different opinion. My opinion is that what is most important is Calories in vs Calories out. I know some will tell you that the quality of the calories also matters, but that is highly debatable. Your body might feel better with a more quality food item, but that doesn't mean your body will necessarily hold on to the weight because you choose to eat something with carbohydrates. That's another thing, a lot of people on here are low-carb friendly. I personally am not simply because I see carbs as fuel. You need to find your path and what makes you feel good. Don't be afraid to switch it up, and keep in mind that when you do change things, you may gain for a week or 2 before going back down.

    Okay sorry that was a lot.
