    24 y.o, male, 5'10, and 170 lbs currently. I started out at 190 lbs about 4 months ago and 170 was my first goal. On my next one, I'm hoping to get to 160 lbs/10% body fat range by Christmas. I have been too lax on my diet the past two weeks. Just need to get my head focused again for the next few months.

    Hey all! 23 here, though 24 is coming quick! I started out on MFP years ago and weighed in at 240lbs. I got down to 135lbs, but then life happened. Got a new job, bought a house, found a bf, got married...and I've found myself back up to 155lbs. My original goal weight was 120lbs, so I'd LOVE to get there. I can't believe I was only 15lbs shy not too long ago.

    Feel free to friend me. I SO need accountability as I'm known to log for a week and then stop.

    I'm 23, will be 24 in November. No one I know uses MFP and I do way better with support. I would love to help others as well. Feel free to add me if you are the same way. I'm currently in grad school to become a doctor of physical therapy. I gained weight since my wedding in December and am trying to lose 20 pounds or more. I've always been fairly healthy, but I love sweets. Do any of you have cheat days? Do you regulate them?

    Hey all. I think the hardest part for me is balancing social life with being responsible for eating right and working out. I love trying new restaurants and grabbing drinks with friends.
    I hit 300 lbs. after college but started eating better, running and working out. I am now around 215 lbs. but I want to lose another 20 lbs. I'm 29 and I have some big things coming up (wedding, backpacking Europe) that I want to look like a boss for! Feel free to add me.

    You should spend your twenties making your body as awesome and as strong as possible so you can be a badass in your thirties. word from the wise. Life starts at 31. You dont want to be unattractive and unhealthy in your own eyes when you get there.

    I'm 23 and trying to lose 40lbs. Started at 165 and down to 158 now doing dieting, weight training, and cardio. It's been hard to get started because I have 3 kids 4 and under so I could definitely use some motivation!

    Hello everyone! I'm glad there is a place we can share our weight loss journeys and struggles! I am 26 female and weighed 174lbs last June. I was told by my doctor a few months later that my blood sugar was high and with diabetes running in the family he said I was showing signs of being prediabetic. He gave me a daily diabetic food guide to follow and I started following it stricktly right away with regular walking/jogging almost every day. I learned that it's impossible to go to that extreme right away without what I'd call "sugar withdrawl" migraines. Then I started incorporating some of what I was used to eating with the new diet and still exercising regularly with at least one cheat day a week. In about 4 months I had lost a whole 30lbs! Now it's June again and last time I weighed myself I was at about 160 since I haven't been as strict with my diet in the last few months and instead of regular walking try to ride my bike a couple days a week as many miles as I can. Now im looking to give other people support that it is possible and if I did it all alone so can you! And personally looking to get back to a stricter diet again and exercise more regularly plus adding in more muscle toning

    My Dr didn't provide a daily guideline book. What did it have in it. I have incorporated 30 mins of exercise at least 5 days a week as instructed. I want to weight off now. However my goal o
    Is to lose at least 20lbs by September.

    I'm 23 and currently weigh 220 pounds. I'm looking to get back to 135 pounds. It's going to be a long process and I would love to make some friends and connect with other women going through the same thing. I've already gone from a size 14 to a size 12! Feel free to add me. I'll definitely be sending some friend requests to others in this thread
