WOMEN AGE 18-25: Need new friends!

So I've been on MFP for over a few years now, and I have to say this website has changed my life. I've lost a total of 60 lbs, and 35 since last September. I took a break for awhile after having some health issues, and came back only to find that very few of my old friends use the site anymore! :(

A little about me: I'm 20 years old, I'll be 21 in August. I'm a full time college student, that also works full time as an assistant manager at a retail store. I'm also a shot girl at a local bar. My life is chaotic, but I'm looking for more female friends! I really don't care about age, but I'd really like new friends with similar lifestyles.

I'm really into heavy lifting, I also do a lot of yoga and running. I'm a very active person, and I'd like to actually interact with people on here more like I used to!

So if you're interested in being friends, send me a request and maybe a quick message about yourself. I'd love to get to know some new people here, and also have a stable group of fit friends to encourage and be supported by!

  • I'm new to this website, but hope to be a veteran MFP user some day. Sending a request your way!

    Hi!! My name is emma I am looking for some support now too! I am a very crime female, age 23, but twenty I just feel like I'm slacking. I'd love to help motivate each other! A lot of my friends are guys, so they don't understand the female weight thing lol and my girlfriends just aren't as into fitness for the long haul like I am. I love heavy lifting also, I also love running! I play soccer and take karate and jiu jitsu. The hardest thing for me isn't staying active but it's the eating part lol.. I love food! I just need some motivation and someone to talk to about fitness and healthy eating. So personal message me or add me as a friend and let's help each other!!

    Hey Princessjordy,

    I've been on here a while too. I worked with a personal trainer last year and lost 15lbs. Im 23 years old and would really love some new friends and accountability partners! I do Karate and running/weights here and there but really need to get back on a schedule like I was when I was working with a trainer. I also really like Blogilates. Like most, food is my problem. I have a few good days and then think "what the heck, I deserve a treat!" my treat usually being a bigmac. That snowballs and then itll be a few weeks before I snap out of my fastfood/junkfood haze.

    Im in the military so fitness isn't something I can avoid. I'd love to find some motivation and friends to kickstart an even healthier lifestyle. :)

    Hey!

    I am 20 and I have been a memeber for while but I have just started a new streak with healthy eating, an abs and arm workout everyday (at home from an app on my iPhone) in desperate attempts to get the confidence back to wear a bikini on holiday.

    Finding it difficult to get support from my long term boyfriend because he thinks (as they all do) I look great, but I just feel within myself I am sick of having the wobbly legs and tummy!

    Would love some motivation and tips for getting the body we are all striving for :)

    I will send a request your way

    Hey there! I'm 24 and also enjoy yoga and running. Weight lifting is fun too, but I'm not allowed to do it unless I'm being supervised by my physical therapist, and I can't go very heavy yet, haha. I've had an account for a couple years now, but mainly used it to track calories on my iPod until now, so I don't know many people here. I yo-yo' d up and down ~30lbs these past few years, but haven't managed to maintain a downward trend until I started reading the forum more. I guess it's true that people lose more weight in a community!

    I'll add anyone who wants to add me. Gotta keep up that motivation. :)

    Your life sounds a bit like mine!! I'm 23 and just started graduate school this summer, I have been on fitness pal since HS but had some health problems in the middle of my undergraduate years. I am just getting back on the horse but I've always been super enthusiastic about fitness. I recently started doing cross fit because my gains were plateauing and I was getting a little bored with the sit down/stand up gym scene. I really love lifting but running owns my heart. I would love to be friends and observe each others progress/ be a means of encouragement!

    I'd love more friends my age on here! I'm 18 and I attend UNC, studying sociology and economics.
    I'm incredibly out of shape right now but I'm starting Couch to 5k and loving it, so running is definitely my favorite form of cardio. Bananas are my my go to fitness food, and I love sharing smoothie recipes!


    Not really sure what else to add…but definitely add me!

    Hey everyone! I'm Julia. I'm a 22-year-old recent college grad working retail full time as a bookseller (which is a dream). I'd love some new friends with whom I can move forward in the journey. :) Today I'm getting a fresh start (i.e. a haircut and a new pair of running shoes!).

    Hi, guys. I'm 25, a recent college graduate, recently married, and recently relocated. I've been getting all my socialization here since I don't know anybody where I live (800 miles from my hometown). I've lost nearly 70 lbs -- Only 5 pounds away from my first big goal, 20 away from where I think I will be happy.

    Hey! I'm a 24 year old lady!

    Have used mfp before, but after a few months of traveling I completely fell out of it and am kick starting my way to fitness today!
    I work in a restaurant, which is HARD! But am looking to make a lot of changes :)

    Please feel free to add me, the more people I have to impress, the harder I'll try!
  • Hey guys!

    Looks like there's quite a few people like me - who have been using MFP for a while but still either slide up or down or don't see results. I recently got a jawbone up and I have to say it's a game changer... I definitely have upped my exercise now that I can see some serious metrics! That said, anyone who's lurked around here long enough (or anywhere really) knows its an 80/20 rule - and I really want to kick my diet back in shape. Feel free to add me on there and on MFP! My diary is public so feel free to kick my butt if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to!

    Hey! :) I'm 23, not new to MFP but I never even realised it had a community side until like 4 days ago lol. I'm looking for support too from people around my age, I'm very active on here so it would be good to have friends who are the same :) feel free to add me

    Hey everyone! I'm a long-time MFP user, but I just started my summer fitness kick, so I will be on this every day, so let's be friends :) I'm training to be a swimmer again (I used to be an athlete all throughout middle school and high school and almost played basketball in college). I'm just finishing up at USC, and I'm trying to get fit before I start working full time in October. woo!

    hey! ive been on this website for about 3 years. it's help me lose my initial 40 lbs! I lost it all during my last year in college so you can imagine how hard that was with all the drinking, partying, late night etc. It's something that I always remember when I try to tell myself I'm weak. I look back at the moment and say.. i DID DAT! no one can take it away from me, u, or anyone who has been through this.

    So i'm back on mfp because I took a hiatus from logging my meals, exercising, and unfortunately, I gained most of my weight back. So i'm here to get back on track

    hi, ladies! I'll turn 19 in two months, I've just finished high school and I'm in the process of getting into college. Wish me luck! For the past month or so, I've struggled with binge eating because of all the stress, but I'm getting back on track. I just need to lose 2 more kilos in order to look the best I can (the biggest motivation I have right now is prom haha). I'll add some of you and will accept everyone who adds me :D
