Hi,
My name is Ashley and I am 20 (21 in 14 days!!) I currently weigh 207lbs (ughhh) and would like to be down to 140ish. I have been struggling sticking to my diet and exercise program, I'll do great during the week and then eat bad over the weekend. I would like to have a few contacts on here so that when we are having hard days that we can look to each other for the support we need. It's hard for me to talk to my skinny friends about this because they have never been in the position I am in currently.

    I just turned 23 and would love some encouragement also. I also have the problem of over eating on the week end. Feel free to add me.

    I just turned 25 in March and have dieted off and on but am really sticking with it this time (since Jan. 2011) to turn my lifestyle around. I was so active in all the sports in high school then after 5 years of college and now, teaching, I just gave up the activeness.... Not anymore! I would love to be here to chat, for support and encouragement, and anything else ya need! Anyone feel free to add me if you would like! :) My highest weight was 252, now I am at about 210!

    I'm 25, almost 26 (old I know! Jk) and I have lost a big chunk of weight before MFP! Feel free to add me! OH and i don't even know what weight I'd like to be! I'm doing INSANITY and I have been losing inches (I think!) My parents told me i am looking "skinny" lol so that is my judgement! Measuring starts today!! Anyway, not sure of what "weight" I'd like to be BUT I would like to be confident with my body and feel good in it! My reward? Belly button ring!!

    Hey everyone.
    Turned 22 in october. I am around 150 but really want to be around 140. I know that doesn't sound like much but I started at 162. Feel free to add me, I'm opposite though. I like to overeat on some of the weekdays with my friends and then try to be really good on the weekend and other weekdays :)

    I'm 24 -- just joined a few days ago. I'm starting at 148, and would like to be 120-125, ideally. Only 20ish pounds to lose, but it feels like a lot more because I feel like I've gained a lot of it in the past year or two, yet haven't really had any lifestyle changes in the past two years, so I don't know how it's happening! I also get easily tempted by desserts, and since I often work 70 hour weeks, "quick" meals and fast food happen more often than I would like since I don't have the time or energy to cook.

    Hi everyone!
    I'm 24 and am finally ready to turn my life around and fit into "real girl" clothes. Not to mention I hope to get married and look fabulous in a wedding dress--and maybe look cute preggo too XD
    My weight when I started was 255. That was mid-march. I'm down to 236 and I feel fantastic! My goal weight is 150. My boyfriend is trying to do this with me. He's becoming a firefighter and is 300 lbs...and it's not all muscle. :\ But he's getting there! We have a bet going that whoever makes their goal/gets there first gets to be treated to a weekend away of their choice paid for by the loser. :D Competition motivates him really well!

    26 and 240 here.

    Got a long way to go. Goal is at least 160 and then re-evaluate if I want to go lower. :)
