Hello everyone. I just signed up for this so I'm still getting the hang of it. I am about to turn 21 (yayy!) and I just hit 200 pounds! ): I want to be pretty again, but more importantly I am worried about my health. Any other young 20 somethings wanna help me out here? I work full time and go to school, and am honestly clueless on what I should be doing. I'd like to be down 50 pounds in six months. I'm not sure if that's a realistic goal, but you can bet I'm gonna work my butt off! Anyways, I'd love to connect with some of you in the same boat as me! Young professionals and/or students who just want to live a healthy life! Like I said, still learning how this app works, so message me or comment or whatever you guys do! Lol.

    I'm 22yo law student. Add me. I'll add u. Yes it is hard with school and work but 1 hour a day cardio is good.

    I'm a 20 year old student - my degree leaves me with a lot of hours up to my discretion in the week, and although I do a lot of work, the rest of the time is being lazy and eating badly!

    24 year old grad student here. I know how you feel. I gained 20 pounds working at my desk and so far, with the help of this site, I have lost 18 of it! Add me as a friend, maybe we can help each other stay motivated.

    23 year old graduate. I absolutely hate how I look and I know I'm unhealthy even though I'm not what people would call "fat".
