    WTG, Mufasa! :flowerforyou:

    There's a lot more girls in their 20s on here than I realized. I see there's a couple of us "mom" types on here, too. :wink:

    I don't think my metabolism slowed down until after I had my first baby. Things get interesting after you make a person. :grumble:

    Yeah, you hit 30 and the metabolism slows way down, you start to get wrinkles, you have to go to more crap because the kids are older and are in more stuff, and that means more people will see your fat butt, and so there is more pressure to be thin like the other moms.

    When it comes to 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond, I don't plan on letting that affect me. I plan on aging gracefully and timelessly :)
    This is my hero, Dreya Weber, and she's in her 40's.

    Yep, she's an aerials artist (and other circus/acrobatic formats as well)... she's fit, gorgeous and amazing! She inspires me to stay strong and flexible and to do what I love :) She seriously LOVES her job... and I don't blame her :) She inspired me to try out aerials... and I have been for some months now... I tells ya, it's not easy! But it's fun :)

    I think I would like it if I wouldn't have to turn in circles. I had some nerve damage in one of my ears and I get dizzy really easy.

    I think that being in your 20's is hard because you don't really know who you are. It's hard not to give in the pressure to be thin and it's hard to eat right. We are broke, just out of college without a job and tons of loans. Late nights with friends out at the bar and the 2 am pizza and ice cream on the weekends don't help. It's hard to buy produce, especially organic on a tight budget, and way easier to eat McDonald's. Any one have any suggestions?

    I definitely agree! It sucks to be in your "prime" and be struggling with your weight!

    Starting weight: 143
    Current weight:141
    Goal:125, possibly 120

    i feel so short ........ :blushing:

    I'm right there with you. I am bearly 5'1 and it is so hard to keep your weight were it's suppose to be. My weight range for my height is between 97lbs and 132lbs. So I figure 115 is like right there in between. It's harder for those of us who are short in my opinion :grumble:

    I'm 4'10"! My healthy weight is apparently between 90 and 118 pounds. I started at 135, as of today, I'm 117 :) and I have a goal of around 100, but I'm more concerned about losing inches than pounds.

    Anyway, I think this thread is great idea!
