Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay and Ive been signed up for myfitnesspal for a while now but I just started to get involved in the message boards! Im a 20 year old college student. My health journey started on 4/6/2013, the day I finally decided to stop the yo-yo dieting pattern that I had developed when I was 13,when I started losing and gaining 20 lbs almost every year. For now my diet consists of no processed foods, no simple carbs, and no added sugars. Im still trying to develop a consistent exercise routine but I do walking/running, pilates (blogilates), and sometimes beachbody videos. I net about 1500 calories per day. Id love to meet other people around the same age as me and/or similar stats, so feel free to message or add me!

My Stats:
5'4
Highest Weight: Around 135
Current: 124
Goals: 114 or Size 4 jeans - to be confident and happy - to be healthy

    I am 23 and I have a problem with sticking to it. I net gain at least 15 - 20 pounds and then I try to lose it. It is a horrible cycle that I am intent on breaking.. I got the myfitnesspal app on my cell phone and I find the calorie log helps me so then I decided to take the next step and join the community for some accountability. I am trying to slowly cut out processed foods and reduce my sugar intake. Right now I log 1200 calories but I might have to increase my intake because it is too little for me when I exercise. Feel free to add me!

    I'm a 22 year old college student and started around the same time as you. I'm 5'2.5". My heigh weight was 66kg (or possibly higher); now I'm about 54kg (119lbs).

    My goal is 50kg(110lbs) but will reevaluate when I reach that.

    I'm 26, but most the time feel 22! Does that count? LOL I hate the sound of "over the age limit" LOL...gettin' old is roten! :)

    I used to be a size 3 pant as long as I can remember. Thin and curvaceous was the compliment I always got!!! I got married at 20 and by 21 I was preg and had my baby in 2008. I gained 70 lbs and can not make it go away!

    I was around 190 and was down 34 lbs from taking ACE... ACE is magic in a bottle, but I accidently took it with my meds and wound up in the hospital...They told me I tested positive with METH! The ACE was what did it..I do not do drugs!

    So now I am going to be trying Herbalife...Im not aloud to advertise it so therefore I can not explain on here what it is.

    I'm back up to about 170 at 5'5'' and in a size 14...I'm looking to get into that sexy size 3 again!

    MY display pic is a before and after pic of ACE.... before 190 after 160 in my little black dress!!!!
