    I am Ana, I am 21, and not married. My boyfriend bought a house at 22 and since then we have becoem "settled down", we are both mature for our age. I do enjoy going out, but not to often. Someday I will get maried and have kids, right now I am in school and work for an amazing company part time. I do get jealous of my friends that have no commitments or even thier own car to worry about, but in 5 years when my boyfriend and i have good jobs, nice house and can afford to do what we want I think I will have made the right decision.

    Hi you all!

    I'm Amber, 26 years, not married but have been with and living with the same guy for two years now, it'll be 3 at the end of the month (day after thanksgiving actually). I don't have kids of my own but he's got a daughter who's here on the weekends well every other weekend and she's adorable and I love her to pieces. We don't go out and party. Definitely the stay at home body types or the let's go out see a movie once in a while people. I like to cook that's pretty much my only real hobby I have aside from reading.

    Allright well I'll check in with you all later. Got some dishes to wash (oh fun.) lol.

    Hi!

    My name is Katina. 24 not married. I was engaged for a while but the guy was younger than I am and in the end it was just a better idea for us to go our seperate ways. I've been out of my parents house for about 2 years and am in fact aboutg about to move into a new house. I'm super excited about this.

    The only babies in my life are my 14 month old godson RJ and my cat Izea.

    I work full time as a manager and support myself.

    My girlfriend is 31 and hopefully we will be getting married and having babies befre I'm 30!

    Feel free to add me! I love making friends!

    Hey I'm 22 with 3 kiddos, I married right after I turned 18. I work part time right now (out of want not need thankfully) as a photographer. It definitely is different being a married 20 something than being a single 20 something.

    Hi everyone! I'm 23 and living with my boyfriend of seven years... I'm currently in law school, so we will be getting married after I graduate when we can actually afford to since he's the only one paying all the bills by himself right now (a real trooper!!)... I don't think we'll be having kids, but he did promise me a puppy when I finish :happy: ! It's nice to know I'm not the only 20-something not obsessed with partying and drinking!

    Hi - My name is Niki. I'm married with a 4 month old beautiful baby boy! I am 29 years old...ugh...30 is way too close for me! haha. I really want to get in better shape before we try for our 2nd child in July 2012. I am looking for advice and support of any kind. Right now I have a strict routine since I am a mommy and a stay at home. If I get off my routine then I won't be able to get any exercise done. lol

    Hello, my name is Cara.

    I'm 20 years old, I've been married for 2 years. My husband and I are stationed in South Carolina with the Air Force.

    I have one baby, the 4 month-old chunk in the picture. His name is Asher. I left my job to take care of my son (the cost of daycare would have made my job pointless). I am a part time student at the local branch of the University of South Carolina.

    I'm here because I have gained some weight since the wedding (and a little more with the pregnancy) and I'd like to get back to my weight at the time of our marriage. :smile:

    This seems like a great group!

    I'm 28 not married but successfully have completed my bachelors and masters degree and support myself. I was "settled" once with a house and a fiance but was miserable so I uprooted to support myself and have never felt so confident than I do now. I have worked hard to get where I am and wouldn't change it for the world! I may not be as settled as others but I'm standing on my own 2 feet and feel accomplished :-)

    Hey everyone. :flowerforyou:

    My name's Kim, I'm 25, and I live in beauuuutiful Florida. :happy: Been living on my own since I was 18...and by living on my own, I mean, not with my family (with the exception of a 4-month hiatus when I had to find a new place after moving back to my home state, and the parental units were nice enough to let me have my old room back temporarily). I've had ex's and roommates...and I don't miss any of them, haha! I'm currently "unofficially engaged" (we're waiting 'til I graduate with my Bachelor's to make it "official") to the most amazing man I have ever met. :love: We've been together over 2 and a half years now, and been living together just over 2 years. No kids, no pets, and we're happy that way. :tongue: This group appeals to me because...well...I often do feel like a huge outsider, because I don't drink anymore (1 year and 8 months of no alcohol!), I've never done drugs, I don't go clubbing, I'm not a fan of huge raunchy parties, and I actually have goals and priorities. I feel settled in the sense that I know what I want out of life, I'm with the best man I could ever ask for, I'm finishing school to obtain my ideal career, and...well...I love my life. :smile: Everyone in this group already seems great, I hope to make some friends! :D

    Hi everyone.

    I totally understand us grown-up-20-somethings needing somewhere to chat. I find the biggest challenge is the fact I have a 'proper' job and a lot of my friends are still jollying off with the parents' money doing irrelevant masters degrees...eep

    I'm Leila, 24 and live in Oxford. I left home at 16 and went to university and completely supported myself. I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years and we recently moved out of rented accommodation and bought a house of our own. I work in a relatively senior position at Oxford University. No kids or marriage although its all on the cards. My losing weight is also part of this 'growing up' stage of life where I want to be fit and healthy for my future. I also recently stopped smoking for the same reasons.

    Happy to be here!

    Leila
