I'm Kate, 24, and married a little over a year. I have 2 furry kids, Simba and Nala. We both worked 2 jobs while paying off our student loans and we are now officially debt free! (Thanks, Dave Ramsey!)

Last month, we made the move to Baltimore from Denver, leaving our families behind. We are on our own, in more ways than one

Now that we both only work M-F, we want to get out there and be more active!

Hi everyone. I am relatively new at this so please, be gentle. :flowerforyou:

I am 24, getting ready to turn 25, and it was only recently that I realized that I was halfway through my 20s and uncomfortable in my own skin. I've been married for 6.5 years so I found myself being just a little too comfortable with food. After a pretty rough year, I decided it was time for my husband and I both to start living... Here I am. We've both been on a diet for going on 2 weeks now and I am down 5 lbs and he is down 17.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and hope that we can all encourage one another in this life altering venture.

Hullo. I am Zombie. My wife and I have been together going 4 years and married since 5/21/11. we have our second child coming tho first is a cat human breed, least he thinks so. Alexander Sage will be born supposedly October 20. I am currently dealing with an inguinal hernia. Not fun. Left with your legs, back straight knees bent. trust that. She has Grave's disease so we are both gimps for the time being and dealing with providing for others. Difficult but happy life. Gotta love the one your with, cause why are you there then, right? Love my wifey and the babies. Hate the fat.

Hi! My name is Christine and I'm turning 24 this week. I've been married for a year as of October 7 (got a couple weeks to go), but I've been with my husband for almost five years and it's the best. No kids yet, but looking forward to them in the future. For now, we are working towards building the groundwork for the rest of our lives ^_^

Hi! I am 21 years old and have been living in my own apartment with my boyfriend for a year now.
I get up at 5:30 AM five times a week and work for 50 hours a week.
Paying bills, cleaning house, doing laundry - I am right there with it.
Most of my friends my age still live at home (all but one, actually - my older brother - and I moved out before he did. :P) and many of my friends do not even have full time jobs.
Nice to meet you all! ^_^

Hey Ho, me and the hubby are both 27 and we have three kids (1 together 2 from my 1st marriage). As if being a teenage mum (had oldest when I was 17) and a young wife wasn't isolating enough, I got divorced, remarried and emigrated to Sweden. Could I possibly have made it less likely to find some similar people?

I know no one who is even in a remotely similar situation so finding this group was a bit of a sigh of relief moment!

Hi everyone I am 27, got married this year, we have owned our own home for a little over a year. I went away to live at college in 2003 and at the end of my sophomore year instead of moving back to my parents for the summer break I moved right into my own apartment with my then boyfriend and have had my own apartment with him, friends, or my now husband since. I have always worked since 16...babysitting even younger. I currently hold 2-3 jobs at any given time, teach adjunct at a college, work as an RN at a hospital, and work in home care part time as well. I am currently working towards my master's degree as well. I have a wonderful husband...unfortunately he has never had a weight problem, is muscular, runs, lifts weights, and in his spare time loves biking and hiking. I would like to do more with him but my weight has always gotten in the way...often times just the mental block of him having to see me struggle at something is enough to turn me away. I have tried many diets in the past, once was successful in losing a larger amount of weight and was feeling good...but it all came back...and then some. At this point I am sick of being overweight, fat, obese or whatever...I started today using MFP strictly again, joined a new gym...this time with my husband...and am going to start journaling as well. I hope the combination of eating better and exercising more along with being strict with what choices I make can make me successful. I want to become one of those success stories I have read on here...one of those people who loves working out and can just shop in any store and find something that looks fabulous.

I am 28, married and a mother to 1 son and 1 step son. I find myself not having anything in common with most of my friends. So that's that!

Hi. I'm 26 (27 this summer) and married. We have a son (almost four), so I sort of got pregnant when we were hitting the middle of our party years. (Now that we're at this end of our twenties, my husband has outgrown it and I have not, so I'm still likely to go out once a week or so. When the budget allows.) I work at home, so basically, I live on the computer.

I'm super uncomfortable with anyone knowing I'm taking an active stance in losing weight & getting healthier. I have a lot of conflicting baggage about it.

Basically, I'm trying to be less insular on here, because I can't stand to do it in real life.

Hi, I'm Jade
I'm 20 years old and I'm engaged to my partner of 3 years - we've been living together for the past 6 months. No kids, but we do have a dog

Don't go out much as I work most evenings and have lost contact with most of my school friends as they moved away to Uni & I started work. I do like walking, video games, reading, Zumba and hula hooping

My SW is 146lbs and my GW is 128lbs. I also have been diagnosed with PCOS.

Please feel free to add me! xx
