Hey there! I would love to throw my hat in this ring. I'm 34 years old, soon to be 35. I lost about ninety pounds and I am trying to lose thirty more but I've been yo-yo'ing a bit. Bleh. I'm excited to see more activity lately and it's great to meet all of you!

Default New to the group

Hi everyone! I'm also new to this group, 31, and seem to share much of the same story as I've read so far. im joining because I know I need support. Weight watchers always helps for a few weeks but it stops and I wind up paying a lot for nothing. I've been slowly gaining weight since my last weight loss 2 1/2 years ago. I've been heavy since I can remember. I dont want to be thin I want to be free from food cravings and loving food more than most of my relationships. I need to at least start something .
Really nice hearing from you all and please let me know how to really make a good start.

Hi everyone!

I am new(ish). I signed up back in 2013 (but had visited since 2011) but now I am getting serious about losing the rest of my weight. I would love to get down to 140 but I'm being realistic of reaching 165.

So far, I've been really encouraged by this forum. Thanks!

Hey y'all. Im Amanda and I am 33. I have been overweight since my oldest was born so 14.5 years now. 3 years ago I weighed in at 297 so I got serious with dieting and exercising I lost 65 lbs. I was pretty proud of myself. I plateaued for a while, got discouraged, so I fell off the cheese wheel so to speak. I have since gone back to school, dealt with some family drama, graduated from school and started a new job. In that time I added all of that lost weight back and then some. Yesterday I stepped on the scale for the first time in several months and almost fell off of that scale! 313 lbs!!!! Holy Moly! So I am back to dieting first until I am at a comfortable weight to start exercising. Its wonderful to meet you all and to hear stories that are similar to mine. Best of Luck to you all in this journey!

Hi there! I'm Vanessa - 31 years old from the Chicagoland area.

Glad to "meet" you!

Wow, you have come so far! That's awesome!

I too am looking for some 30-something friends. I've been heavy since I was a child and am just starting my journey. I've been heavy since I was a little kid and am just getting started on my weight loss journey.

This is the first weight loss forum I have joined. Everyone here seems really great! I look forward to talking with you more.

HI!! I am also looking for friends who are in their 30s! I've always heard that the older we are, the harder it is to get the weight off so I am hoping to find people my age who are in this battle with me!!!

I'm 33. I'm a married mom of 3, and I work full time (for now anyway.)

I'm working on losing the last few pounds, and then maintaining. But I tried many times and struggled and failed before I found what worked. I spent a long time around 190lbs, since that is where I seemed to end up when not paying ANY attention to food or fitness. For 5'6", that is the low end of obese.

Been healthy weight for 7 months and dropping steadily.
