    Me too! I'm 27 and a prediabetic vegetarian with a MAJOR weakness for carbs and social drinks with friends. I could definitely use some support- especially with low carb tasty options! Feel free to add me!

    Same here, ladies! I'm 28 and like to play hard now and again but currently I am trying to lose a few lbs for my honeymoon next month so have kicked booze altogether. It's only been 12 days so far but I do feel pretty good. I'm always looking to give and receive more motivation, so feel free to add me!

    Same here...I really love food. I don't have too much of a problem with alcohol calories but I just am a true foodie who loves to cook. I am 24. Since college I have put on about 20 pounds and think the only way I will finally get it off is with support and others holding me accountable!

    I have zero self control with what I eat and can always be tempted to have a cheeky glass of wine. All support and guidance is welcome and needed! I thought is been eating better and drinking less but seem to be gaining! Just bought myself a nutri bullet and did an online order for nothing but fresh fruit and veg - hardcore health kick, I seriously hope it kick starts the weight loss! Does anyone have a nutribullet? Any good low cal recipes to share? X

    I am also eating less (calorie wise) and drink less and I am GAINING!!! I can not find anything that wants to work. I stay dedicated to working out and eating right but my body is like "nope its cold out I am putting fat on you like it or not"

    I cook a lot and eat a lot. Pizza and at least 1 bottle of wine is usually on my weekly menu. Sometimes I'm bulking and eating A LOT. Right now, I'm in a quick/short cut before a trip starting Saturday. I'm 25. Add me if you'd like.

    I'm 27 in March. I'm new to MFP and would love some friends for motivation!

    My vices also happen to drinking and eating, especially on friend nights.

    My goal is to lose 15 lbs for my wedding in October :).

    1987 must have been the year of the beer! I'm a 27 year old social drinker as well. I've cut back tremendously and only drink water (dies inside) unless its a special occasion. My goal is to lose 20 by the end of May. Feel free to add!

    Yup, me too. 28 and I love food and drink. I'm trying to cut down alcohol and eating out. So far in January, I've had no drinks on week nights and I haven't eaten out since January 4 (this is huge for me!)

    Add me and we can motivate each other!

    This post is the truth!! It's so nice to see other women like me on here. I want to be healthier too, but food is my friend and wine is my other lover. Welp, I'm gonna try to stick to the path ladies. Take care, and add if you'd like.

    Me please!! 23 and I LOVE baking and cooking. It's mostly healthy stuff, but apple crumble with loads of cream is good for the soul...not so for the waistline :) It didn't matter when I was able to excersise because I just worked off the occasional cookie binge, but some unexpected health issues meant I didn't get out of the house much for a while...and yeah.

    There's no way on this earth I want to give up proper cooking to lose weight- I just need to eat a bit less, and now that my health is a lot better, move a bit more :)

    I'm new here, so would love some friends!

    I came back to this for more support. I've been doing okay for me but... I can't. Stop. Eating.! Working out 2-3 times a week for four months.
    Hope all you are doing well.

    Feel free to add me. I'm 25 and a good portion of my hobbies is going out for dinner and drinks with friends. I also work i a bar, so alcohol is particularly hard to avoid!
