Girls in ~20's, need some motivational friends!

Feel free to add me :-) Good luck with your goals!

feel free to add me...I'm 5'3" and have always had problems with my weight but I finally got down to a good size and then I had a bad break up and everything went down hill...since then I have gotten married and had 2 children and now am more determined than ever to live healthier and be a good example for my kids!

I'm new to MFP but what you said in your post totally describes my desire to lose around 15 pounds. I'm 5'1, 20 years old, and currently 129 pounds, and I feel like every pound shows on short women (especially in the hip/thigh area - at least for me). 129 pounds for a 5'6 woman is wonderful, but unfortunately, I'm not 5'6. Just mentally I feel like losing weight would help boost my confidence and not make me look so chubby. Anyways, feel free to add me! Would love having motivation from someone with a similar situation.

Hi So I'm a 25 year old female looking to lose ~20lbs! I'm very short (5'0) so I feel like every pound on me looks so much worse than taller people! Damn you tall people haha.

To make a long story short, I used to be happy with my weight and never had a problem with portion control. Over the past two years I pretty much "let go" of myself while I was in a really bad relationship. It was clear I wasn't taking care of body, so I wasn't surprised to step on the scale and see the scary number! I was frequenting McDonald's, Chick-Fil-A, WaWa, drinking soda and lots of sugary drinks and foods. I'm ready to not just lose weight, but just be all around healthy. It's all about the mind, it's all about determination and I just want to gain back control over my life and stop giving in to these temptations of bad foods, when it just makes me upset and feel gross. I just want to FEEL toned and healthy, and look great in every outfit and picture, and have that boost of confidence.

I started about 2 weeks ago, so far I'm down 7lbs from my highest weight. I have a huge exam in 2 weeks, so once that's over I will be going back to the gym. (Aiming for that before-work workout, how does that work for anybody?!).

I've been using myfitnesspal to count calories and so far it's been going great! I also look at the beforeandafterweightloss tumblr website for picture comparisons because it really motivates me and reminds me of what I'm doing. I'm looking for people that are in a similar situation as me because I feel like were more relatable, but I'm up for adding ANYONE as a friend, no matter what sex/age/situation, anyone that will be motivating!!

Love to have a chick with brains in my friends list.

I would like some more motivational friends myself! I have quite a few "friends" but only a handful that actually comment. I'm 28 and currently 133 at 5'7". I've lost about 45 pounds overall, with the last 15 done here on MFP. I'm currently focusing on strengthening/toning but wouldnt mind losing a few more pounds. Motivational/active people can feel free to add me!

im 4 ft 11" so I know how it feels when you gain a bit of weight and end up looking like an oompa loompa lol. Feel free to add me too

Feel free to add me too. I'm 21 and in College too, so I know how hard it can be sometimes!

im 18, and have a long ways to go on the weightloss... at least 100lbs, and i could use all the motivation i can get... feel free to add me

Hey Ray! Thank you so much!! Being in college is tricky with dieting, I guess that's why the "freshman 15" came about! What was hard with me was my hectic schedule, and soon came to realize that yes, I worked multiple jobs and was a full-time student, did extracurricular and sports and volunteering, but I was putting more emphasis on all those things when I should have been paying attention to my body and health! Planning ahead is KEY. That's more of a struggle for me than portion control! I have to do the grocery shopping, prepare my snacks and meals for the week, and just be ready to tackle the week and have food with me that way I avoid running to get something fast (and bad!). I usually have half of my MFP meal for the next day filled out the night before, does anyone else do that?! I don't like filling it out at work, I'm not really trying to show off at work I don't want people thinking that I'm doing it purposely in front of them.

I gained more like the "freshman 25!!" lol. I need to start planning my meals in advance also...I think I may try that!

I NEED this!! I'm almost 21, a junior in college. I'm down 30 pounds since high school, 15 of those throughout my first two years walking around at college, the other 15 this summer! I want to drop down to 130, but might need to settle for 140. I'm 5'9" and although new to any type of weight training, I've always packed a mean punch! Hahaha. I need motivation to get back to the gym-- this is my first week this summer actually slacking and just not going. I am soo dissappointed in myself, but realize I can get back on track! I start a new job next week and then move into a new house for the school year the next week. So getting to the gym might be a challenge, but the job is waitressing and moving in itself will keep me active!

I have hit the dreaded point where it isn't easy-ish anymore. I am at a "healthy" weight according to my bmi, but want to tone up and lose these last pounds. The problem is all my friends who were going to commit to do this with me jumped off the ship-- some sooner than others. I'm alone and stressed... two things that make me eat like a full grown man who just came home from a long day's work!

I have so many things I want to look better for-- Halloween (I'm in a sorority, so helloooo frat parties), my 21st birthday, and my first New Years spent actually going out! I'm already looking forward to the start of classes, going to try to bust out a couple more pounds to make it to 20 lost this summer! (3-4 pounds in two weeks... do-able!)

I would love to be able to find a girl who is in the same situation as me (college, parties, roommates, work, you know!) to be accountability partners. I just need a friend who I can text "free cookies on campus. ohhh, the temptation!" and get a response along the lines of "skip the cookies and get a skinny latte before study hours. "

Someone to keep me in line who also wants the same back. Even just having someone to "brag" to about the gym who is going to just listen instead of thinking I am judging them for getting some tv time in. Sometimes I would just like to have someone I can tell that I was busting my *kitten* for 45 minutes on the elliptical next to this super cute guy from the boxing team on the treadmill. Really, noone cares about that, but it pumps up the endorphin high!

This post was intended to be short and sweet, but now I'm all excited at the potential! So after all this, is there anyone interested?

I'm actually new to posting on forums - mostly because I've been too shy - but I've just started on this website, and I'm looking to make friends! I lost a bunch of weight this summer and gained really toned legs from working at a camp, and it inspired me to loose that last bit that's been bothering me. I just want a flat stomach.

Anyway, I'm here to support anyone who wants it, and would appreciate support as well. I'm going to be a sophomore in college, and I would love to have other women who are in the same boat as me to help me along.

Feel free to add me anyone! I am 29 but need to lose at least 60 lbs. I am a single parent so have to work to squeeze in workouts and find decent foods to eat for me and a 3 year old
