    I'm 22 and I started a healthier lifestyle about 10 days ago, so I'm pretty new to this. I'm looking to lose a few pounds but most importantly gain muscle. I did my first two workouts of Starting Strength this week and I'd love to hear about some more high-protein recipes and see how well everyone else is doing. Please add me :)

    I want in on this :) im 22
    I mix it up between doing insanity and Zuzka Lights Z Cut Strength. Some times both. So generally an hour to an hour and a half work out. Which i easily stick with.
    I have a consistency problem with food though, ill eat good for 3 days and then on the fourth have a binge evening :/

    Hey, I'm 25 and getting back into shape so that I can stay healthy... I've gotten great results, despite working a desk job, with playing a ton of sports alternated with heavy lifting/bodyweight routines. I think that what's made the biggest difference has been changing my mindset - both concerning food and how I feel about myself.
    Foodwise, I steam everything haha. Chicken breasts, eggs, fish, and all sorts of veggies. It tastes good, and I'm lazy :blush:

    Hi! I'm 22 and, after gaining like 50lbs in college, I am trying to get healthy again. I lost twenty pounds between september and december using a really strict diet and then got off track but was able to maintain. I have 30 more pounds to go so I started using MFP to become more accountable. I've been lifting at the gym but I've been having a really hard time getting into any cardio, which I really should be doing. Any suggestions would be awesome! And feel free to add me! :smile:

    Count me in :smiley: I'm 24 and just joined my local gym. I have been cleaning up my diet and doing a lot more cardio/group classes. I finally have the summer off and the time to dedicate to changing my life. Cooking isn't my favorite thing to do, but I am learning to enjoy it now that I have the time! Looking forward to swapping recipes!

    Are you going to make a group? :smile:

    Hey! I'm 20. I lost about 50 lbs 4 years ago, and then gained 10 of those lbs back this past year from just living the typical university life.
    I lost 5 lbs this past month though, and aiming to get back to my old size before Aug. Feel free to add me :)

    Hi! I'm 21 :) would love to be a part of a group of people around the same age! I gained 30 pounds in college I'm trying to lose at 10-20. I love working out (weight lifting, anyway, cardio not so much) but eating right is a big challenge for me, especially since I'm still in college!

    Love this group! I'm in! I'm 28 and I just had my first baby! I gained 50 lbs during pregnancy (yikes) and I am working to get back to my pre baby weight! I have been doing crossfit for 6.5 years. Before I got pregnant I was a very clean eater and I am slowly getting back to that! I have lost 30lbs so far but these last 20lbs are coming off very slow!

    I think I just said that I'm 22 when applying for the group, but I turned 23 a few weeks ago... still hasn't sunk in, I thought I'd be 18 forever.

    I don't "eat clean" but def cleaner than before, that said if a glas of wine fits my calories, I'll have it (sometimes even when it doesn't fit). I've lost over 5lbs. in 5 weeks just working out en cutting out most alcohol (student life...). Definitely interested in sharing work-out though! :)
