Hey! I'll be 30 also a week from Sunday. I've been on and off mfp for a few years now so I'm not really new but I just recently started logging on consistently again. I could use some support and motivation as well, I'll send you a friend request.

Yes, my goal is 130 and I'm at 170 now. I did really well on mfp a year ago, then life happened and I got off track, now I'm back where I started. Feel free to add me, let's do this!!

I have a problem with that too. The best solution for me is to just not buy them, so they aren't there to tempt me. Also I find that if I just take a few and then put the box away right away, I'm less likely to keep going back for more.

Hi, I'm 29 also and I want to lose about 30 pounds. I have been trying off and on for several years now and I am finally getting back on track. Feel free to add me.

I'm 5'6", currently 167 pounds. I had gotten down to almost 150 a year ago, but then life happened. My goal weight is 135, and I want to get there before I turn 30 in August this year. Feel free to add me.

5'6" female, age 28. Current weight: 153. Goal weight: 135. I sent you a friend request. :)

I'm looking for some friends, also. I could definitely use some extra positivity and support. Feel free to add me! :)

Looking for friends, also. :) I've been a member for 5 years but most of my friends are no longer active.

Hi everyone, I'm Lisa I've been on mfp for about 5 years now off and on. I've been maintaining about 10 pounds of weight loss now but I need to lose about 23 more.. looking for accountability! Feel free to add me (anyone)! We can do this! :smiley:

Wow, that is awesome! Thank you for sharing your story!

A banana or other fruit, maybe some peanut butter or nutella if I have enough extra calories, or frozen yogurt. If I'm really craving sugar and don't have enough calories, I will eat a small scoop of cool whip.. some people might think that's weird but I really like it when I need a quick sugar fix.

I agree with this! I don't think it's necessary. I lost over 20 pounds previously, the first time I was on mfp, without a scale. I know I underestimate some things and overestimate others, but I guess it evens out.

I'm 25 and have 33 pounds left to lose! I added you. Anyone else feel free to add me. :)

^This!! I run because I like to run. And because I like to eat. I'm not good at sports and have never been very athletic, but running is something I can do.

I use herbs/spices, without salt and it turns out just as good. I don't like meat without some type of seasoning, at least garlic and pepper! Just try experimenting with some that work for you. Mrs. Dash makes a salt substitute that is just a combination of various herbs and spices.. I don't use it, but I've heard it's…

I really can't stand sweet potatoes. & fried pork rinds (I think that's what they're called?) .. I hate the smell of them.

I just started this a little over a month ago.. I can already fit into some of my old clothes! I have a lot of clothes but I had gained too much weight to fit into most of them.. now I can finally wear them! I can run longer and I can lift a lot more!

Still working up to my first 5K.. I started C25k 4 weeks ago.

Hey everyone.. I'm 25.. I've been a mfp member for a few years but just started logging again a month ago. Feel free to add me. :)

I have lost weight, and still eat fast food, pizza, doughnuts, and soda pretty often.. it's all about eating smaller portions and staying at your calorie limit! Right now I'm really just focusing on getting into an exercise routine and adjusting to smaller portion sizes, and then I'll work on eating cleaner later on.

I finished week 4 today! I got about halfway through it, dropped my phone, and had to restart the phone. I ended up doing the entire run over again! I surprised myself at being able to run that much. I'm nervous about the 20 minute run at the end of week 5.. I have NEVER ran that long without taking a few breaks to walk!

No.. I have done that in the past and it didn't work for me. Once I get to my goal, I will buy new clothes!

I think you should just do whatever you think your body can handle. Personally, if it were me I would just wait one extra day to do C25k because both on the same day would be too much. I finished week 4 of c25k today and have had to skip a couple extra days here and there because of work/school scheduling and I don't think…

Most Mexican restaurants can be somewhat healthy, if you get corn tortillas instead of flour and stay away from the chips! I like Chipotle and Taco Bueno. Someone else mentioned McDonalds.. if you need something quick, a kid's meal really isn't all that bad in calories. A serving of the kid's meal French fries is only 100…

I don't like running on a treadmill, and don't have access to one right now anyways because of my budget. So it's all outside for me!

I live in Arlington, TX, have been here since June. Moved here from West Virginia, and I'm originally from California. I've moved around a lot in the last 3 years! Feel free to add me, if you want to. :)

I'm not a morning person AT ALL and I never have been. I work out after I get home from work.

I could easily eat an entire container of homemade salsa or guacamole! And I mean a pretty big container!
