in Introduce Yourself
I'm still getting used to using the forums here and I think it's time I had some friends. I'm 22, a full time student and intern, and I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds. I'm going on a study abroad trip to indonesia and thailand this summer and I'm using that as my motivation!! So everyone feel free to add me and let's share some diaries :)

    Hi ! :)

    I'm 23 and work fulltime. That sounds like a great motivation !! Mine is to Cosplay by mid year. I've lost 14kgs so far but that was over a year ago and now I'm back to lose even more!! (10kg or so) :D

    EDIT: Everytime I go to bed I picture how I want to be and it keeps me going lol

    Haha I do the same thing!! Every night I end up keeping myself awake dreaming of how I want to look, and how good it's going to feel, and the exercising and healthy foods I'm going to eat the next day to get there!!

    I've always been confused haha, what's a stone?
    And I try to have a nice healthy snack before I study and then I can usually keep myself from munching the whole time. I usually eat when I'm bored though (which is most of the time I'm doing homework) so sometimes I'll go to the library where I won't be tempted! I don't want to pack up all my books and bags just to go get a snack haha :)

    Hey! I'm 23, and I'm also a full-time graduate student and intern (with a part-time job). It's hard work to keep motivated for weight loss/fitness when you have to hold everything else together too. I also am having some trouble in Boston's winter weather exercising D:

    That sounds like a great idea to motivate yourself with a trip. I've done that before successfully (and unsuccessfully too, lol).

    My current goal is to lose 13 pounds (150ish to 137). Let's do this together!!

    Boston weather, I hear it's freezing there right now! I'm in canada. Forget exercising, sometimes I'm finding it difficult just to get out of bed!! I can't imagine working on top of my current course load.. Full time studied plus I'm at my internship 25 hours a week and exercising plus running my house... I'm lucky my boyfriend works so hard for us! Good for you though!!

    Hey everyone, I'm 22 and looking to lose about 20 pounds. I've been using the food log part of this site, but just started looking at the message boards and stuff, so that's why I don't have a real picture yet. Would love some friends in similar situations!

    Hey i'm 28 and have just started using MFP this week. I would really love some support as my motivation always weakens towards the end of the weekend. I live abroad in Japan and it's been really hard to find and track foods here. Please add me

    Do you have tonsil stones? Because drinking baking soda water really helps. My daughter drinks it every night and never gets them anymore for 15 months. I'm not sure what tonsilitis is but just wanted to help someone.

    Hey everyone. I only joined the site yesterday just trying to get used to the forums. I'm 21 and working full time as a manger in the food production environment. I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds for a trip to Poland for a friends wedding in June. The goal is to look and feel good in a dress which would be a major confidence booster! :)

    I'm using the website to track progress (even though cant see it myself on my body yet) and for motivation from others who can relate to me.
