Hey everyone, my name's James, I'm 26 from South Central Illinois, and no by that I don't mean the south suburbs of Chicago LOL. I've decided to start a journey to get myself into shape, because I look at my dad who has some health issues because of his weight and I don't want to end up like him. I have a LONG way to go, but I've already lost around 10 lbs, but could always use more friends to keep me motivated as I'm single and don't have a real good support system in place offline to keep me on track. I go to the gym daily and all but even with that it seems easy to go off track, so anybody who can motivate me, as well as positive reinforcement when I backfire is always welcome ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Great to meet y'all... God I've been around my friends from Texas too long with that line lol

I'm in my 20s as well and boy is it a struggle. It seems like every activity revolves around food and drinking. I also go to the gym daily so maybe we can motivate each other and trade routines.0

Yeah it seems like everything revolves food... Most of it diet destroying food at that... I'd love to help motivate you as your in your journey too...0

I'd be glad to help out. I'm new here too and I agree. It's so easy to get derailed with food and get discouraged at the gym.0
