    I'm 24, part of the reason I joined mfp was because I have been telling myself for the last two years that it would be the year I get my weight in control, and I just realized if I don't do it this year, I am going to turn 25 and have spent half my 20's fat and unhappy about it! So I've been at it a month, so far so good!

    Count me in :)

    I am so happy you made this!

    Count me in! My new Wii Fit today told me I was not my age of 22, but actually 40. Oh dear. Def a chubby twenty that needs some motivation, support and friends on MFP!

    Very excited for our own group!

    Ill join I guess lol. Im 24 and I started on my birthday this year in April. Im hoping that by my next birthday I will be at or under goal weight and I wont be shying away from the pictures. I realized that when my children look back on pictures of the first few years of there lives, I wont be in them. I shy away from the camera and my excuse is that Im the one taking the pictures but I think its mostly because I hated how big I was. Even 40 lbs lighter I still see the big girl and though Im still big I have a long way to go mentally and physically.

    I have no idea what I would be, but there used to be many days I really felt like I was in my 40's. :sad:

    If you don't mind a wise old man chiming in (turned 30 in Feb) good for all of you! After going way downhill through most of my 20's, I started making some gradual improvements a couple years ago, but really started getting healthy when I turned 30 this year. Looking back on spending my 20's as an out of shape blob, I do regret it. But on the bright side, I feel like I got my wake-up call and got things turned around while I was still young enough to do it fairly easily, and now I hope my good health and habits will stick with me through middle age and then the rest of my life, which is when a lot of people first start going downhill. Maybe that doesn't really mean much, just my way of looking at the bright side. Good job to everyone who is getting things on track even earlier than I did!

    I'm 26 here, so count me in. I got fat when I turned 20 (as fat as I am now after loosing 5 lbs, 170lbs). Then by the time I was 22, I had lost the weight and was down to 145. Well, I got fat again... I've been over 160 since January 2009, yikes. My goal is to get down to a slim 135 lbs (the last time I was this thin, I was 19). So far eating less hasn't been as grueling of a task as it used to be a year ago (maybe hormones changed or something). The weight seems to be coming off at a steady pace thus far, but I still have a long way to go.

    I'm 5' 5" and a size 10. I'd like to get down to a size 6.

    awesome idea for a group. there are so many ages and reasons people are on the site. i just turned 25 and realized if i didn't change myself soon i would be really harming my health and hopes for starting a family.

    I'm 23, I weighed in at 214 lbs at my heaviest. Down to around 195. I've been gaining weight recently but the only thing I can think is that it's muscle because I'm not getting fatter. I was down to 179, and had a nice fast food binge a while back, and got back down to 188, but I've gained 7 lbs like I've said, but haven't gone over my daily calories in a while. Not sure what's up =/ kinda sad.

    I'm in too! I'm 29 so that still counts right!? :) Feel free to add me. It helps to talk and to vent with people who understand what you're going through!
