Hey all!

I am searching for motivation from other mid 20s MFPals that are struggling with getting healthy. Not that I don't love my current friends, you are all amazing! I just think that although age truly doesn't matter that hearing stories and tips from others who are around my age (24) I will gain the motivation I have been lagging for a few days! I feel like we truly are a generation that is struggling to keep healthy with our society. How do you all do it?!

I am 24 years old, happily married, and live in Austin, TX! I look forward to hearing from ya'll! :smile:

Any advice and support are appreciated as we are all on the same journey to taking our health back!!!

    Hey!

    I'm 25 from England :)

    Since starting my mission to get fit and healthy and loose weight I have managed to dooms but I must say its slowed down a lot, to be honest i really don't think any more is coming off... and I do struggle BUT we can help each other out and hey, its not meant to be easy is it?

    It's a whole lifestyle change and thats what i keep reminding myself, keep pushing on and eventually it will come off even if it does take some time.

    My little story is that last year I was away and basically wasn't looking after my body eating rubbish the whole time and i came home to find i was huge! It affected my confidence big time and enough was enough! I've always had a weight problem but i don't think i'd ever got that big....

    So here I am, slowly but surely getting fitter every week :)

    If any one needs a little help, push then feel free to add me like wise im sure if im struggling you guys will give me a kick up the bum!!! lol xxxxxx

    I'm in the same boat as all of us I guess. Though I think I'm finding it easier to lose this weight than some other people on the boards. I guess it's true that it is easier to lose weight when you are younger - and hopefully make the changes that will keep it off for a lifetime! Oh, and I'm 23.

    I'm 24 back on here after almost a year break. I started out at 180 last summer (had a baby in 09), got down to 166, got pregnant with TWINS, just had them (April 5th), and am down to 167. I need to get down to the 140's but would gladly love to even see the 150's! lol My exercise is chasing my toddler and newborns. Hahaha

    I'm 26. When I was in my early 20's I quit drinking soda and lost 20 pounds. This time around it's ALOT harder. I've been kicking my butt with the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD for 5 weeks now and eating super healthy. The pounds just aren't coming off like I hoped they would. My goal is to lose 15 pounds and get toned. What is everyone else doing to lose weight?

    Hey, 25 from NY here. I've been on and off this site for over a year now... motivation is tough as nails.
    I'm trying to stick with it since I'm going to be a bride's maid twice in the next year (first one in Nov, bachelorette party in Oct in Vegas.. so I have a goal!)

    It's really hot all of a sudden (80 degrees!! whaaattt).

    Definitely would like to add you and a few others to kick my *kitten* into gear, haha.

    Cheers. I hear Austin is a lot of fun!

    23, going to be 24 in July. I feel like I'm getting so old :sad: Live in Kentucky, single, and I think I'm going to be in college forever so I guess that works well for me (I'm almost finished with year six of at least eleven). Desperately trying to lose weight because I've always been the "fat girl" and I'm eager to just be Laura! Feel free to add.
