I'm 20 (turning 21 in April, woohooo!). I'm a former motocross and BMX racer, but had to quit about 2 years due to injury. Now I'm on the road to losing about 20 lbs! I'm starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred tomorrow, and from what I've seen, it's awesome! Consider looking into it
Right now I'm 5'7 and 155, but I'd like to be at 135. However, as long as I lose the inches I don't care how much I weigh.
Go ahead and add me as well! Good luck hon!0 -
I'm 22 - 23 at the end of the month. I've lost about 27 pounds over the last year or so - so I know how you feel!0

I'm 22. 5'10" and 195 lbs and in graduate school, which of course makes frequent snacking a must. I'm trying to go down to my pre-college weight of 140, but it's hard going to work out and study. Any tips would be appreciated!0

Hi, I'm 24 and about to finish my Master's degree. I'm looking to lose all the weight I gained in college, so I know what you're going through. What I've found is that this is a great tool to help you learn your habits and change them for the better. I'm not going to advocate diets, but if nothing else, track the food you eat and the exercise that you do. Once you learn how much you typically eat versus what you need to eat, it really helps to make short term and long term goals. I would suggest moving slowly in the right direction. Increase your exercise in a way you can manage (maybe an extra 30 minutes a week until it's a habit), and decrease your intake by a manageable amount (say 50 - 100 calories).
As a person that loves food, I've never been able to do "diets", instead, this slow approach helped me start eating less and eating better (even with some "bad" days). Do what works best for you, but try to work with something that you can stick with long term and isn't a purge diet plan. I've lost 40 pounds this year and I still have a ways to go, but it's definitely working.
Good luck.0 -

I also turn 21 in April, wooooh! Also, I just started the 30 Day Shred today. It killed me but I'm sure it will be worth it.
I'm 5'5" and I started at 145. My goal is 130. I joined MFP back in October and I managed to get down to 137, but then the end of the semester hit and I got too busy to log my calories. Now I'm back up to 142 and trying this out again. It was definitely working for me, I just need to learn to make time for it with school and everything.0 -
