Looking for fellow 20-somethings

Hi there! I am looking for the same thing, especially because cooking has never been my strong point.. and being a picky eater (in a bad way) doesn't help either! :P Good luck and keep your chin up!

trying to drop the last 15 lbs..

add me

Hey there! You're not quite who I expected to see when reading Iskar, but how do you do? Where you from, kid? I am from Sacramento. FYI.....youre too young to be in a long relationship. Get fit, lose the glasses, ladies will love ya. that is coming from a fellow redhead who is on the same course. We have EXACTLY THE SAME GOALS. First things first....if you have any pasta, burgers (except for turkey), cheesecake, hotdogs, or Ice cream, throw them out. Wheat pasta, maybe, could be the exception. But Mac n Cheese is out.
My advice would be to not use the microwave. I have started to live without a zapper for the first time in my life, and it is beneficial. It is more of a psycological thing for me. Any food I make I will have to cook, and since I cannot reheat it without re-cooking it, it teaches me to make smaller portions, and not have that quick access of a meal that takes 45 minutes on the stove. I am doing quite well with this. It also teaches me cooking skills, and that is a win-win.
I have been here a week, and have already made it my homepage. I just quit smoking, too, and will be 2 weeks smoke free on Sunday! If you have any question at all, just ask it in the community, and it will be debated. good luck!

btw....check out blowmeuptom.com, and stay for about 30-60 min. Have your volume up.

Hey

Just about 21 here. I gained 30 pounds after a bad break up and think that I might understand where you are coming from in terms of trying to get back into physical and mental shape.

I too am looking for some support, so if anyone would like to add me, I would be most pleased

Hello I just started 2 days ago and looking for friends to encourage me and me to encourage them. My name is Katherine, but everyone calls me Kat. I have been trying to lose weight for 3 months now and have lost 39 pounds so far. I am a single mom of 3. So send me a friends request.

Don't listen to j_wilson! as a girl's opinion, the glasses are super cool. Keep them.

I'm 21 too! Feel free to add me

I'm 23. Feel free to add me, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to help with cooking as that's not exactly my strong point.

I'm 19, is that close enough? I'm a college student trying to lose the freshman TWENTY from last year. I'm new to MFP and definitely looking for some supportive friends and tips for healthy college eating. Everyone please feel free to friend me!

girl i hear you! freshman year killed my body too..we can burn it off though!

Hey, i'm 23 and I am also hoping to lose 20 lbs ideally. I think joining the gym is great motivation especially if you don't have a gym at home. The one thing I recommend to EVERYONE, which I am also going to recommend to you is, if you want the BEST workout without being bored, trying to figure out how many reps of what exercises to do to benefit certain areas, etc...just join a local Martial arts or boxing gym. Personally, that is the only activity that got me in the best shape of my life, if you want more of a full body workout that gives you a great core and kick *kitten* moves, do Muay Thai, if you want a powerhouse punch and a stronger upper body, stick with boxing. When I started, i was 110 pounds, barely any muscle, and couldn't defend myself, eventually i gained 10-15 lbs of mostly muscle with the mma diet and training and was confident that i can defend myself from almost anybody. I am going to join my mma gym once again after a little over a year of not training due to a busy schedule and a little bit of a motivation issue lol I trust that once again it'll help be get in great shape, gain confidence, and kickass! Sorry about the long post but I get really excited when i talk about Martial arts! Good luck with losing weight and everything else. If you have questions or comments etc, i am more than willing to try and answer them, or motivate

Hello. I'm 20 and I'm trying to lose *counts* 66lbs or so. I'd love some people to try and lose it with too.

I'm 20 turning 21 in September. With the freedom of drinking to come and entering culinary school I'm worried about becoming out of shape.

If anyone wants any help with cooking healthfully I know a little about making healthful meals that actually taste good. College is a make or break time for developing good habits that stick with you, so I'll be looking to you guys for inspiration!

Hi I'm 20, fairly new, and looking to lose around 20 pounds also. Since I'm only 5'1, every pound seems to count! At first, I wasn't very good with coming up with healthy meals, but I found a lot of cool recipes on allrecipes.com and you can just type in for example: lunches under 300 calories or whatever you're looking, include how many servings/portions you want to cook, and the website will give you the correct measurements for all of the ingredients. Feel free to add me if you want.

it's always good to have support i'm 21 in a little more than a week! I am a HUGE foodie, but I've been seriously trying to eat as much raw fruit and veggies as possible x

I'm 20, everyone feel free to add me!
