in Introduce Yourself
Hey! I signed up on here awhile ago but never really used it. I have a vacation coming up in November and would like to lose as close to 40lbs as possible. (Of course that isn't the only reason but it's a good motivator) Tomorrow is the last day of school for my boys so I will have most of the summer to focus on this. (I was very active on the PTA and volunteered a lot of my spare time at the school) I'm not doing any particular plan at the moment, just going to focus on eating whole foods, little processed foods as possible and just being active. I'm looking for friends to check in with that will also help keep me motivated if I start slacking. :wink: I'm willing to do the same for others! I'm also down for little group challenges that help make getting to the bigger goal not as intimidating. :happy:

Thanks! :o)

    Welcome! I have used this off and on myself, but know that it is time to get serious. I am also in my thirties, and I am a stay at home mom to a 2 and 3 year old. It always helps to have a support system and someone to check in with! Add me if you would like :)

    Welcome! I'm a 30 something dad! MFP is great. Having a support system of like-minded people is hugely helpful.

    I've been doing Beachbody workouts and following strict nutrition since February. I've lost 42 lbs, and I just about have a "six pack" for the first time in my life!

    Add me as a friend. I'd be happy to offer support and advice!

    FYI - My wife does P90X with me and follows a strict nutrition plan. She didn't have much to lose, but she's down 18 lbs and in the best shape of her life!

    You can do this!

    Hello, I joined a while back but never really used it. But, now I know I need to do better with food and exercise tracking and have a little more friendly motivation from people who are trying to better themselves as well. Feel free to add me. I will be 30 in an few months and I am a mom of two wonderful boys.

    Welcome! Feel free to add me too, I am now convinced that MFP's brilliant support network keeps me on the straight and narrow!
    I've dropped 25lbs since Jan and have another 10 to go before my summer holiday, so it's a big push for me now! I am also a 30 something with 2 young and amazing kids, with the added advantage/disadvantage (depending on what's around!) of working in a food company, with a big focus on healthy foods. Happy to share yummy recipes too!
    Good luck!

    Everyone should be added or requested! Thank you everyone!
    So where does everyone need help/motivation? I know for myself I want to start out slow. I tend to go hard and burn out quickly. My goal for next week is to track my food for at least 4 days and to walk a minimum of 6 miles. I figure both of these are definitely doable so no excuses!

    You can add me too if you like. I am a mother of 3, 10 years, 3 years, and 1. I have about 50-60 lbs to lose and need the motivation. I also would love to hear any yummy healthy recipes if anybody has any. I am primarily using my elliptical and try to get on it for about 30-45 minutes at least 4 times a week. I plan on adding P-90X in to my workout once i lose about 15-20 lbs, I've used it in the past and it works great, but I'm not at that level just yet.
