Anyone else blame 'metabolism slowing down' for putting on weight?! Would to love to have some friends on here to motivate each other. I'm 28, have about 20lb to lose, vegetarian, love horses and do running (I'm not going to say I love it!)

    I'm 28, too! I have about 30 pounds to go until I reach my goal. I have 4 horses! Just don't have them with me right now unfortunately. They're with my family in another state, but I hope to find a place to board a horse eventually that isn't too expensive.

    I've been trying to build up on my running ability. Last summer, I couldn't even do half lap on the track. I'm able to run for a mile now, but I want to run longer than that so I can do marathons.

    My metabolism slowed down years ago and I also blame my college years of bingeing, drinking and my very Italian ex who was a chef. Carbs ahoy! :P Actually, I only have myself to blame. I could have watched what I eat, exercised more regularly. I learned my lesson and strive to improve myself now.

    Edit: Anyone else feel free to add me as well. :) I log daily.

    Hi there! I will be 31 this year but I'd be happy to be your friend. :) And yes, I understand. It's very hard for me to lose weight, so much so that I went and had my thyroid checked because my weight loss is very slow. It's taken me almost 4 weeks to lose the 3.6 lbs that I've lost. :(

    I will be 28 in Feb. I have about 50 maybe 60 to loose. I blame me. I am the one who put the food in my mouth and sat on my @ss. I am losing weight now before my metabolism really does slow down.

    I'm 28! I blame my own laziness for gaining weight. I'm back on track right now, logging daily, and exercising regularly again.

    I'm signed up for a 10K run in May.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I'm 27 years old. Had my daughter before my 21 bday and went down to my normal size within a week. I had an amazing metabolism back then. Then I had my son at age 22 and have been struggling since. Feel free to add me.

    Ditto, almost 27, have about 40 lbs to lose (my goal, should be 50-60 probably). Focusing on clean eating and more exercise (which I hate!), and always looking for new friends and motivators!

    If you think your metabolism slowed at 28 just wait till you enter your 30's. Thats why Im here.

    I'm 28, but I have a completely opposite diet of the OP. I've lost all my weight and am now here to just maintain and build muscle. I don't think my metabolism slowed down much, I just stopped moving. My weight gain was 100% my fault and I took full responsibility for it, which is part of the reason it was so easy for me to lose it. As far as running goes, I HATE it. I gave it up and started using bodyrock.tv for my workouts, its way more fun and easy to stick to because they post a new workout every day.

    I'm 28! I was overweight my whole life because I was lazy and didn't care about being healthy. Now that I know better, I lost 27 lbs! I have 3 lbs to go until my goal, but I plan on sticking around here for ever. Feel free to add!

    I just turned 27...that counts as late 20s right?? Anyway, I am becoming a runner. I've done a 4mile and a 5k in the past two months. Looking for a few more friends with similar goals, although I do have about 40 or more lb to lose.
