30's with 100+ lbs to Lose

Well, becaue FS has given so much to me, I have decided to give something back and become an administrator for this group. I would love to see this be a successful, fun group for us thirtysomethings, that can be a resource for not only weight loss, but also all around personal development. I believe that the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires the integration of body, mind and spirit, and I find that as I make my way through my thirties that this integration is more and more important to reaching my ultimate goal--a life of happiness and joy!

So come on thirtysomethings...let's get busy! If you have any ideas for things we can do as a group (ie. book studies, real-time chats, etc.) post 'em, and we'll make it happen!

Love y'all already!

What do you think about one of those free online maps where we could pinpoint our general location (for those who would like to do so)?

For the life of me though, I can't think of the name of that popular one that you see around forums. Anyone know what I am trying to refer to?

Some one started one for the whole FS community. I will get you a link, hang on.

There you go. That's the thread and the tool is Frappr

Thanks!

BTW going to post anyway - I came in to fatsecret this morning to find my picture, groups and signature GONE, and my user name spelled backwards. My user name and password worked just fine to get in.

go figure! I wrote support, I'm sure they'll fix it - but isn't that weird?!?!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to say I am so thankful for this site and I am really happy to know there are real people like me and I'm not in this alone anymore.

I have to agree with Cahyia 100% It feels good to know that u r not alone in this battle. I read ur bio Cahyia and I felt like I was reading my own bio. I wish everyone the best of luck and hopefully I can have buddies. Come one everyone lets BEAT THE BATTLE OF THE BULDGE!

Hello everyone! I'm Rulu and I am so happy to be a part of this community! I just joined today and from what I've seen this site and this group will be a welcome part of my life! <3 Rulu

Hey Rulu and welcome. This site and group has been wonderful for me. Cahyia, I read your bio and I feel everything you said. I got a few years on you and I lost somethings too, but the thing I lost most was my mom. If we let life take over, it will. We have to keep things and people in the proper perspective and success will follow. I'm here to change my life for me and then my son.

Hi everyone! I am new to the site and this is one of the first groups I have joined. I am looking forward to talking with you all and hopefully making some new friends.

Hi everyone! Been with FatSecret for about 2 weeks now and I must say that this is the best site of its kind I have found. I have an Android phone and love the app and the ability to scan barcodes on anything I eat and it pulls it up right away! Thanks to Semille for taking on the admin of this group! I look forward to meeting my goal weight and finally taking back control of MY life.

Hello
My name is Chelsea, I am 35 years old and I weigh 276 pounds. My goal is a 160. I tend to over eat when I am stressed and do not follow through with exercising. I decided this year I will not continue to carry this excess weight around. I found the fat secret app on my Hero phone and then joined online. I am excited and i hope this is the first step in changing my lifestyle.

Hello!! Im soo thankful for this site and app! and thanks to Simille for being our admin!!

i joined in feb and ive lost almost 19 pounds so far! I think finding people with similar things going on and getting support or just knowing that we are not alone in this battle to be healthy could do nothing be make us want to work harder! im so excited about what we are all working towards
