in Introduce Yourself
I've been on this site for a little while and have a great support system, but I wish I could find people in similar situations as me! I am 21, and have another 10 lbs to lose! Anyone else around my age with between 10 and 20 lbs left to lose? Let's face it, we're at the age of going out and partying, and being broke! Would like to have some friends that understand my pain of trying to be healthy & fit through these times! :happy:

    Going out is the worst! When everyone is drinking and I'm sipping on water it sucks! My diet means designated driver!

    24 here. I usually limit myself to 1 or 2 beers if i ever do drink. Red Wine is also good for your heart, and won't ruin a diet.

    Hey Everyone!! I'm 26 trying to get back to a healthier weight. It sure is easy to put it on, but boy is it f'n hard to get it off....My diet has been the hardest thing to change. Love myfitness pal, i never realized how many calories and sugars i was consuming....love the bar code scanner.

    I'm not a big drinker so alcohol isn't my problem. I like to go out to eat and I eat when I'm bored or annoyed.

    Hello! I'm 23 and just started using My Fitness Pal about a month ago. I also have another 10-12 pounds to go, and I agree with you: it's hard to stay motivated! I'd love to swap nutrition tips and such to keep eachother on the right track. We are so close to our goals :)

    I'm 25 and have about 10 lbs to go. I can't get past 180lbs but I am well aware of my problem. I try to only party one night a week but for the last month or so, each Saturday has been pretty intense, seeming to negate my 5 day caloric deficit. I'm completely motivated Monday through Friday afternoon but once the weekend actually starts...

    I hear you all too well! I just came back from being a groomsman in my friend's wedding out in Cali....needless to say it definitely threw me off-track for several days. Ah well, like you said, OP, the party life is just one of the hazards of the 20s. Back on track now though, and getting back after it!!

    I'm 24 btw and am looking to shred a few more body fat percentage points, so hit me up!

    I'm 25 and have quite a bit of weight to lose. Partying a bit and eating out a lot really packed on the pounds over the last few years. Good luck to everyone :)

    I'm 21, will be 22 in July. I am pretty much at maintenance scale wise (only 3 lbs from the goal weight I had set). I'm just working on getting stronger, learning to run distances, & tightening up the belly, hips, & thigh area. Feel free to add.
