hey :)

I was just looking for other younger people on weight loss journeys. I'm 20 and aiming to loose 40lb so I'm just looking for other likeminded people to add as friends to talk and keep each other motivated :D

    Hi, I'm also 20 and on my own weight loss journey. I started back in January and have lost 73lb since then and have about 30lb more to lose. My loss has slowed a bit in recent weeks so I'd like some motivation and support too. I wish you all the best :) -Daisy.

    Yeah all motivation is gold maotivation I was just looking. For some younger people, like under 30 as most people on here seem to be older, which isn't a bad thing it's just nice to talk to people your own age :)

    I'm starting uni in September so I thought I'd start picking up a few healthy habits now. I'm also 19 and would love some motivation

    22 and trying to lose weight that I gained when I started grad school. Put on weight due to having less time to work out and eating really unhealthy. I'm pretty new to mfp but want to get involved in the community, feel free to add! :)

    Hello everyone! I am 25 with a birthday coming up within a few months. I started my weight loss journey back in February and in that month I lost 10lbs, then lost a few more pounds but now I'm gaining them back. I don't have a support system at all and I feel like I'd be more motivated to continue a healthy lifestyle with having other people who are facing the same problems I have. I want to lose another 30lbs at least. Feel free to add me!

    Definitely pick up the good habits now! Dining hall food is killer, especially if you like to eat on the healthier side.

    The one thing I think I'll suck at is getting healthy food in the fridge especially when I start to run out of money. Just need to get on it now so I'm used to eating good food

    Hi guys, I'm 20 and trying to get off about 30-35 more pounds; I've already lost 37. My freshman year I gained 50 pounds, I couldn't believe it! Now senior year is around the corner and I'm ready to finish up what I started. :)

    Hey, I'm 23 going on 24 in a few months. Been struggling with shifting the weight for a while now. At one point I managed to get down from 105kg to 85kg, unfortunately that didn't last very long and it's all come back. I also go to uni and it's a bit tough because money gets tight and the easiest options are often fast food, particularly because I work at a fast food place as well. That's my big struggle, avoiding eating at work when i spend 8 hours a day there...

    - would LOVE some friends on here for support and encouragement and tips.
