Welcome. I'm the same height. I'm 162 right now. Started MFP at 168. I want to lose about 23-25 pounds but my 30th bday in June. Good luck to you. Feel free to add me as a friend too.

I know I shouldn't check the scale before my actual weigh in but its so hard. I honestly check daily. I'm down another pound.. yeahh but I know I shouldn't post the change until Monday, maybe it will be more. I'm 161 now, that was my starting weight for my 2nd pregnany. Next goal is 150, that was my weight at wedding and…

Jesneverhome - Alcohol used to be my problem as well. I love wine and beer. Heck I work for a beer company. lol. Thankfully our group of friends have quickly turned into parents and most do not have assistance of family therefore, no more going out friends. We still have our fun maybe once a month. I have a glass or two of…

Welcome - I'm a newbie too. I just looked at your profile and we're similiar - I'm trying 30 soon and a mom. I started a discussion board if you want to join us. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/160076-bring-on-30-new-members-looking-to-lose-in-thier-30-s

Annie - If it was me I'd post mini and your ultimate goal. I see alot of people have 1-5 mini goals with dates or rewards on thier signature. Do want ever you think will help you. You'll get to that 100 but celebrate the little milestones on the way.

Great start coming over here. These boards are amazing. I'm still new too but loving them. Good luck with your journey, you can do it.

Bivengrl - Love your pic, your daughter is so cute. Congrats on trying to lose and perfect timing too before TTC. I'm not sure if we had more of a problem or now TTC #2 due to weight. We had no problems with #1 but #2 took 11 months. Glad you decided to come over. Karitrad - Welcome and glad to have you over with us.…

Jaycee - Can you possibly rent the game before you buy? I totally forgot there are rental stores still out there when we were debating about buying my son a wii game. Everyone suggested renting first and I'm glad we did. The game we planned on getting would not have worked. I use the wii fit here and there but not a huge…

Jessmsu81 - Welcome. I turn 30 June 3rd. 13.1 is a huge goal. I just wanted to add that child birth is nothing like a 13.1. No I haven't ran the 13.1 yet but I have given birth twice. Once pregnant, childbirth is going to happen, no changing it but with the race you can stop and quit. It's harder to stay motivated and make…

Maria - I'm right there with you. It was -10 the other day when I got up to work out. I can't wait for the snow to be gone but I have a good 2 more months. I keep going back and forth, I should start training with a running group in Feb but I want to push it off to the next session. Thats just still too cold. Where are you…

Sounds like a great goal... Good luck

Nice - Love that more moms are finding us. Let's keep this group going. I know it helps me. When I get bored at work I want to eat. Instead I'm wasting company time looking online.. lol Robin - Welcome, GREAT JOB on losing 40 already on your own. Thats amazing!!! Jmncolts- Welcome, I'm like you its hard but once I get done…

Umm.. You and me both but I thought it was about time I open up and its help me lose. Welcome to the boards.

Welcome to the group. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm new. I've beening trying to lose since the beginning of the month. I'm not really high but high for me. I was always that person that said all I have to do is work out and I will lose... well not so much anymore. If finally just clicked to me that I have to diet.…

Of course I see it. You look great. Keep it up. You sound like me I'm always harder on myself but really girl, you look great and there is a difference.

Welcome girls Ashley - I used to be a runner, not really for races but just loved it. Now, not so much. I enjoy once I start but it was always the starting. I run 5K's often. Normally never train, I know thats bad. I always sign up saying I will train and continue but don't. I'm finally on track now. Just signed up for my…

Sending a friend request. I started around the same time too. Good luck. You or anyone else is welcome to join our new group too. Some of us are close to turing 30 or early 30's. We don't have tons to lose but still always need the help…

Welcome to the site :) Sounds like your off to a good start, joining and tracking is helping me. Keep it up.

You sound just like me not too long ago and something inside me finally snapped.. I'm so determined now and hoping to stick with it. Good for you, just signing up is a first step. You can use this board as support.

Welcome and congratulations.. Wishing you the best throughout your weight loss and soon to be pregnancy.

Great to see some additional moms joining us Potter Princess - Welcome, congrats on becoming a mom. I think its great you want to lose some before TTC. Shows you have the drive to do. We are really not sure if we're done or not but I told my hubby that I need to prove I can lose it now before thats even a though. I am…

Hi Ladies. It's this website great. I'll have to admit I'm getting addicted. I work as well, out of the home but I'm on the computer all day and thankfully able to check online. Amie - Disney Destinations, sounds fun. We're actually heading that way in April. Can't wait. Thats another reason I want to lose weight and look…

Sorry no suggestions. I'm in the same boat as you. I've been working for 3 weeks now and lost basically the same as you. Just wanted to say good luck. I'm not 100% counting my calories but if I had to guess I'm around 1100-1300. I'm using our elliptical for 60 minutes 4-5 days a week. I'm constantly drinking water, helps…

Hi I'm Kim (29) looking to lose about 18 pounds before my 30th. Honestly I have more on my mind though but 18 is a good start. I'm semi tall 5'7'' and right now 168. Yuck. 5 years ago I was 150. I've always been fit, not super skinny but slim. 2 kids later and a desk job I've put on about 10 pounds per kid. Never thought I…

TOPIC: Bring on 30 !! New members looking to lose in thier 30's Started a topic in Motivation and Support - Join up girls and we can help eachother.

We should start a discussion thread for us trying to lose before 30, if there isn't one already. Could be helpful just to have others losing at the same mile point in life.

Congratulations. Ok, by no means am I telling you not to lose weight just giving you some advice. My SIL lost 10 pounds weeks before her wedding and of course didn't even think it would affect her dress but it did. Just warning you to make sure if you start to lose, great but try your dress on before the wedding. Poor SIL…

My goal is my 30th bday too.. June 3 for me. I have about 20 to lose. Started beginning of the month and I've done great but I know I'll hit a stopping point soon and thats normally when I give up. Not this time. Sounds like you have a great goal !! Keep it up.

Hey a 10k is still a nice accomplishment. I actually love to run but I normally only run 5K at most. Right now I'm just using an elliptical at home for an hour 4 xs a week. Once the snow is gone I'll start training. We have a Mountain Goat race here. 10 miles, last year I only did the mini Goat for 3 miles and stood there…

I'm the same way. I'm not huge but easily put on about 18pds over 4 years. I want it gone now. Hopefully tracking will help. My clothes now are actually baggy but the next size down suck me in so much I have a muffin top and refuse to wear anything like that. I can't wait to fit comfortably in them :) Good luck
