Anyone else making a change in their twenties?

Yup, I'm 24 and being fat is not cool anymore.

Almost 32 here and I shouldn't have waited this long. Good on you for starting now. Good luck and godspeed.

I'm 23 & currently recovering from anorexia though even before that I was eating awful. I'm trying to get back on track with being healthy as well as actually eating food everyday.

Yeah I'm 20. just trying to stay in shape

Yes I'm 22 and are really struggling to loose weight!!!

Good luck! I'm 20 and trying to get fitter too.

During my 20's I'd eat / drink whatever I wanted and didn't think of it. Now that I'm 31 I realise this was a bad choice as it caused a bad habit which I'm on a journey to crack. Doing well so far and eating healthy and exercising is something which I'd wish I'd started a while ago. Never to late to start though,

Good luck to you all on your journey and whatever your goal may be, I hope you achieve it!

That's the best time to do it bud, I got in shape when I was mid twenties. Here's some motivation for you young pups though!

"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."

I'm 25, almost 26, and I'm back here again because I keep yo-yoing. For me it's been a battle my entire life. In high school alone I was as small as 150lbs and as big as 220lbs. I tend to do good for about 6 months and then completely fall off the wagon. I think this most recent one, gaining about 25lbs since January, had a lot to do with stress: new job, new house, new city. Then, trying to find comfort and relaxation in pints of Ben & Jerry's, after Valentine/Easter/[INSERT_HOLIDAY] chocolate sales and genuinely being too mentally/emotionally drained or physical tired to exercise...
I know older people always say that one of their biggest regrets was not taking better care of themselves when they were younger. For me it's more than that, it's also so that I can enjoy being young. Right now, I'm so uncomfortable in my summer clothes that I'm avoiding pool parties, tubing, boating, group beach trips, water park weekends, and pretty much any other activity I have to show too much skin. I'm uncomfortable at work because none of my professional clothes fit right anymore. When I go out with friends I'm a little embarrassed about how snug everything fits and whether that will deter people from approaching me. I'm probably getting a little too neurotic, but anyway, good luck with getting and staying in shape - it's worth it once you're there!

24 here. I came to the same realization last year when I decided to start my weight loss journey.

Defiantly agree with that! Since i turned 21 the weight has slowly been creeping up on me im now 25 and defiantly need to stick to a healthy diet & loose some weight ! Good luck to you guys too

Hey Blake! I'm in about the same boat (except it seems that you've caught it earlier, before the damage was done, haha!). I was really in good shape all through high school and didn't give a second thought to what i ate, but holy cow, that storm hit hard when i was about 20. and now i need to lose about 30#. turning it around and really amping up the workouts as well. it's really motivating to see other people doing the same!
