Females in their 20's...Over 200lbs...wanting motivation!

Hey everyone, I am Felicia and I for sure fit into this category! I am 27 years old and started at 244lbs. I have a very big year ahead of me and I pray I can lose this weight to start this new chapter in my life. I will be graduating from the teacher's program in May and will begin my hunt for a job. I feel that I would have a much better chance of landing that perfect job if I not only look better but feel better about myself. Also this year,my baby brother is getting married and I am the maid of honor at the wedding. Yikes, me in a dress!! I have the perfect life, now I just want to feel like I deserve it! This site has really really given me the support to want to do this. I am excited for all of our future success!! Can't wait!!!!!! Feel free to add me:)

And by the way, if there is this many young women over 200lbs why in the world is it so stinkin hard to find cute clothes to fit us!! Makes NO sense. We like to dress cute too;)

I'm 26 years old and just weighed in at 220 pounds. Diabetes runs in my family and my mom has recently been diagnosed. I fear being the next. I have a four year old son and no energy to spend quality time with him. My husband and I started dating when I was 14 years old and a size 4. My marriage is on the verge of being completely over. We live as roommates because he can't stand that I am now a size 20. I look in the mirror and do not even recognize this person that went from being so obsessed about looks to the girl that hides in the closet to scarf down candy. I am really looking for support to reach my ultimate goal of 130 pounds and will gladly return the favor. Please feel free to add me. I recently moved to Hawaii and am ready for a lifestyle change.

I'm 25 and 312 pounds. Always looking for new friends to help support and motivate :-)

I just turned 25 and I've gained 60lbs in 2 years, due to a combination of injury and some medications with weight gain side effects. At my lightest I was 137 and I'd love to get back to that (or anywhere near it!). Mostly I'd just like to be light enough to run again without injury. My goal is to run another half-marathon, or if my knees can take it, a full one. Feel free to add me

I am 27n and weigh 235 I cant seem to move. This sucks.

Hello! Please add me if you are looking for support and wanting to give encouragement. I feel like I could use some support to. Encouragement is so important when you have a large amount of weight to lose. I'm working to lose 138+ pounds and become healthier. I lost 70 over 2011 but gained 35lbs back durning 2012 due to lack of motivation. I'm back now with a vengeance. I want to lose weight, but more importantly be fit! We can do this )

Oh I needed this so bad. I'm 28, 244lbs (down from 251 pounds, which is the highest I've ever weighed my entire life) and this been the hardest journey I have ever been on. for the last 10 years I have consistently gain weight uncontrollably. I more than doubled my weight since I met my husband and have dealt with incredible depression and failed diet after failed diet and I am so tired of letting myself down and letting my husband down and now letting my daughter down. I want to get pregnant by the end of the year so it's really important to me to lose this weight because I know what it's like to go through a pregnancy when you're overweight and be treated like garbage like a bad person because your overweight. I lost 40 + pounds with my last pregnancy, unfortunately gained that and some back since then. my daughters now two and I feel kind of like I'm in a hurry to have another baby and lose this weight because I for 1 I'm getting older and for 2 I don't want to put myself in more danger for the rest of my life. I really need help I really need friends and I really need somebody to convince me that this is actually possible as I see all these people losing weight that everytime I go on a diet change my lifestyle change my eating habits to start exercising and start drinking water I either gain weight or the scale doesn't move it all it just gets really depressing an overwhelming so I hope that by following this blog in this group of wonderful woman that I can really go somewhere for the first time in my life because I need to get back to being me.

I am 26, started at 224lbs and currently sitting at 205lbs. However, I didn't lose weight for six weeks so measured inches instead, if saved my sanity as I lost 17 inches from my body and am now two dress sizes smaller. I have done two rounds of thirty day shred, my fitness levels went up and I am currently waddling my way through Insanity. Think positive, stay positive, you got this!!

Just joined MFP and looking forward to his Forum!
