I'm Ericka, I'm 21! I'm looking to lose about 10lbs, I used to be very active and since taking up a job at a doctors office, I have to sit a lot. I'm finding it difficult to lose the weight and I feel yucky and tired all the time! I'd love some support!

    23 here. Office job. Luckily we have no dress code so on my hour lunch break I hit the gym. Still difficult to be active when the majority of my life is spent at a computer (college student as well) so I understand the struggle.

    I'm 29 and stuck at a desk. It certianly makes things harder than if you have a physical job. Everyone I work with gains about 15-25 lbs when they start here and we have more "food days" than I can count. It can get pretty rough sometimes, but hang in there.

    I'm 20 and looking to lose about the same as you. 5'6''tall and 145 lbs. I am a full time college student so I find it hard to eat right and exercise. Even though it is summer, I'm taking 2 classes, so it's always hard. Never a break. But it is possible. Good luck! Feel free to add me.

    Im 25 and am looking to lose the last 20 lbs to reach my goal. I have an active job but for the past 8 years have been on so many different medications for Crohn's disease that it has made working out tough until about a year ago when I finally got healthy. The toughest for me has been motivation to keep working out even when drained from my job. Good luck. Feel free to add

    Freshly turned 19 this July. Stuck behind a desk at an internship, but I still find time to walk a good 3 miles every day. I'm 5' 9'' and weigh 233, though my starting weight was 253. My GW is a nice even 150 though.

    26! Went from walking around every day at my server job for 5 years to sitting at a desk. I started losing weight (18lbs so far!) by walking at lunch every day. I also do Herbalife most of the time, but just eating right will help (Herbalife just helps me be lazy because I hate preparing breakfast and lunch). I walk at lunch (45-55 mins) and then walk again when i get home. Either to an episode of Breaking Bad at the gym or just around the neighborhood.

    I'm 28. I have a job that is a desk job most of the time, but then when certain times of the year come around for our business, I am then on my feet for 18-20 hours a day. I am currently in the slow, desk-job time of year. I really understand the struggle. I have been wanting to lose this weight since graduating college 6 years ago and becoming less active. Using MFP has really helped me get back on track, and I am halfway to my goal! Biking on a trail near my house regularly has also really helped.

    26. Just had my third (and last!) child in February. Struggled a lot with my weight since I had my first. Managed to lose 30lbs last spring and then got pregnant again. Time to lose the baby weight once and for all! Looking to lose about 60lbs, but I'm happy with just about anything as long as the number on the scale goes down haha
