Hello Fitness Pal People:
I am a 21 year old who has been struggling with my weight my whole life, although I have been active for most of my life. I enjoy being active but find it hard to do while being in school full time. I'm here to keep myself accountable and hoping to maybe find others like me to keep me accountable and encouraged.
Thanks!

    Hello I'm a 22 year old that struggled with weight for almost my entire life however when I was about 19 I decided to take action. It's now just over 2 years later and I feel like a whole new person. I hated everything about being over weight and I truly feel like it gave me a second chance at life if you or anyone else every needs some positive encouragement or just have any general questions feel free to add/message me! You can definitely do it just put your mind to it stay focused and want it more than you've ever wanted anything before!!

    Hey I am 21 years old also and a busy busy college student, who went down hill. These MFP people are very motivating, and there are tons of college students who are in the same boat as you. Wish you the best success. Feel free to add me for any support! :)

    Thank you all so much...I posted this less than half an hour ago and have already been so encouraged...so much so I cried, which I haven't done in a long time. You have no idea how awesome it is to not only have encouragement but also have help from people my own age and struggling with the same things I am...as well as so many others!
