25--Newly Divorced--Looking for Change!

Hey Sam!! Sorry to hear about your divorce, that's awful! Add me if you want

Hey I'd love to help motivate you along the way! Even though I'm not divorced I'm a mommy and I know with kids just how hard staying healthy can be!

feel free to add me

Hey ! My name is Alyssah and I am 21 and sitting at 217 right now, I would LOVE to get down to about 160ish by July of 2014 is my goal! I will send you a friend request
*Sorry to hear about the divorce

I'm 28 and fairly recently divorced.. in the same boat! I gained a lot during my divorce/end of my marriage. Went from a healthy weight of 125ish to 152 (I'm 5'2). I felt so sluggish and hopeless and rejected and spent a LOT of time drinking and being lazy and feeling gross.

I've been working my butt off - jogging in the morning, workout videos at night, watching my calories - and I started a Biggest Loser-type competition with the ladies in my department at work, which helped a lot. (I'm winning, by the way!) I've dropped about 20 pounds since the beginning of January! I'm still working on it.. and dang it, I'll be in a bikini this summer lookin' HOT.

Stick with it!! You can do this! You will feel SO much better. Do whatever it takes to stay motivated. Investing the time and effort made SUCH a difference to me. I sincerely wish you the very best!!

I'm 25 and just got divorced as well. Bummer!

I'm also 5'1". I'll add you.

Congrats on your decision. Getting healthier has helped me a lot so far.

Your life is just beginning... you're so young, get ready for adventure!

Sending FR now! I've been divorced since 2006 and that's when I REALLY stepped up my fitness! Welcome! Now it's time for YOU!

In for the man bashing!

You can add me. I was divorced at 26. It was a hard journey but I don't regret it at all. I didn't realize how strong I was till I signed those papers. 3 year later I married to the most amazing man ever.

I was divorced at 27. Poor guy lol

You kids these days give up so easy. I was married for 45 years before my wife passed away. It's a shame people don't honor their vows on their wedding day.

I would help support everyone's fitness goals here however. Those are good no matter what part of your journey you're on. It helps me stay fit and independent. Hopefully getting in better shape will help you land a better catch this next time if you're still looking for love.

In 1990, I was 25, weighed 220 lbs when I got a divorce. But for me - I guess the divorce did it - I lost weight. There for a while I wouldn't eat at all - then when I did eat - my jaws gave me problems - like they forgot how to chew. But, obviously, I got over that!

You are already in change mode - because you did this posting.

We are all here if you need us!

I divorced in my twenties as well, and it had an effect on my weight. Freind request being sent to you. yay.

I'm 27, and newly divorced myself (well, 10 months ago), and it may have been one of the best things I could have done for my health! Being on my own again makes it so much easier to make the right choices. Some people gain weight after a divorce, but instead I found myself free of the massive amount of hot wings and pizza that were always finding their way into my home :P
