Hey there, I'm Hayley. I'm 21 and from California. I am going to school part time (work full time) for a degree in international relations with a minor in Arabic. MFP is helping me lose at least 100lbs. I am down 50 so far (lost 11 before joining MFP) so I'm halfway there!!! Anyway, I would love some friends on here to be a little more active in the community, so definitely feel free to add me. :) Also if anyone has some good groups to join... let me know!

    I added all of you! Nice to meet everyone :)

    magicalpony - one of the reasons I am losing weight is so I can successfully ride horses again. I rode from age 3 to 18 and then sold my horse before I went to college. I like your ticker!

    Thank you! That's my heart horse who unfortunately passed away last year. I thought it was cool we could personalize the tickers and he ends up on most of my pictures :)
    What kind of riding did you do ? I do mainly hunter/ jumper- non competively since I don't have much $$, ever. LOL.

    Added all! Thanks!!

    magicalpony - so sorry to hear that, what a cutie! I dabbled in a little bit of everything. My paint gelding I owned for 7 years was originally a halter horse but I showed him in western pleasure/hunter under saddle and did a little dressage and jumping. He was an agreeable guy but his size (16.2 and 1300 lbs) didn't lend well to a lot of disciplines, lol! We also did a lot of trail riding and backpacking. When I rode other horses I did a lot of everything but was really into reining and working cow horse at the end there. Nowadays I would love to do eventing... just wasn't fit enough before!

    Feel free to add me as well, I recently graduated from college and am looking forward to having more time to focus on myself and my fitness goals. Ive been using MFP for a year now but never got into the social aspect of it and would like to see if it helps. Good luck to everyone!!

    Having that as a weight loss goal is pretty amazing though. It should help you keep inspired, even on those hard days. (I can barely even stick to 4 days of hard core diet) LOL.

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Lisa and I'm 23 yo from Toronto, ON. Just started last week again. I've been yo-yo-ing for a while after I finished university. Trying to lose the 40 lbs I've gained over the past 4 years. I work full time and am a full time student again!

    I find it hard to figure out what to eat, especially on the go... I'm addicted to carbs and a definite emotional eater.

    I'd love to share ideas with some people my age!

    Feel free to add :)

Used MFP for a bit but Im hoping getting more involved with the community will help me break my current plateau, feel free to add!
