Young Working Women (career, not corner)

Nothing against the other groups I've seen or threads I've posted to, but this is my favorite by far! haha. I don't think I said what I do, it's not really that exciting, I am in Talent Acquisition for a financial institution here in Charlotte, basically I'm a recruiter for full time positions. It's really stressful and I sit in front of my computer 95% of the day, but we have a huge beautiful campus that I take breaks to walk around : ) In all seriousness, I love my job, I'm basically in HR and help people get jobs here. The other women on my team are awesome, they're all super supportive and in the same boat as me, just trying to shed a few. I've even gotten one of them to join me in no-soda drinking.

I'm a huge sports fan (grew up in Philly so Eagles Flyers Phillies all the way!) and my bf of almost a year played basketball at UNC- Chapel Hill so he's got me rooting for the Tar Heels.

I'm thinking I'll start the 30DS this weekend, and like Casey said, the two of us just started C25K this week (i'll be doing wk1 day 2 in about an hour!)

annnddd I think I answered all the other questions already. so weigh ins on Monday huh? This could be interesting.

LOL at the title, too funny! Is there an upper age/weight limit here?? I am a 30 yr old working woman (psychology graduate now studying for a nursing degree and working part-time as a nursing auxiliary) and I probably have more like 30lbs to lose, but hoping for 10-15 before my holidays (and my wedding!) in Sept. There are five dogs and one cat in our house, but I take credit for one dog and one cat only

I tend to eat the same things over the course of the week so would love some ideas for tasty meals that fit within the calorie range

Anyway, would love to chat with you all but understand if if I'm not quite in the 'young' category lol

p.s. I wouldn't mind looking like Jessica Biel - achievable? Nah, probably not but aim high as they say

Hey everyone, I’m Morgan, 26 year old accounting assistant, no kids or pets. My long term boyfriend and I have a ‘Carrie & Big’ apartment situation. He’s got roommates and a cat and I’ve got my own place that I share with my plants.

I work 35+ hours a week, take boot camp classes, swim, run, do yoga ect & I’m on the board of directors for two local not-for-profits. I’m from the East coast of Canada (Newfoundland) but currently live in one of the healthiest city in North America, Victoria BC.

Last summer I was closer to my goal weight 132lbd, but since starting my new job (which is awesome but sedentary) I went back up to 143lbs. I’m down to 140lbs and want to hit 128lbs before the end of the summer!

Weigh-In will be Monday, yes! I am actually going to close this group on Friday and start a new group with the same title but (closed group) added to the end. I will make that Friday morning, so keep a lookout on Friday and stop in to say hi so we are all back again. I'd love to leave this group open ended but geez- I mean, it could end up being a second job lol.

Will we get a group request or should we just look for it on the message board? Sorry, still kinda new and I've never joined a group before!

Room for 1 more?

I'm 25 and I have an MBA - currently in San Antonio but looking to go anywhere that's not my current job. The pounds have crept on since college/grad school. I would love a group of girls with similar ages and lifestyles!

Celebrity body? Well, hmmm.... I have to say maybe Kim Kardahian because she always looks great but she has boobs, and a butt, and hips like me. I think that's a realistic idea for me....

My name is Katie!

Well--- part of that done---starting AWESOME new job July 6!

This is such a great idea - count me in!

I'm 29, full-time professional at a non-profit and just finished up my MBA. I'm over halfway to my ultimate goal, but have really stalled out just shy of onederland and really want to get there!

Look forward to meeting all you lovely ladies.

AH! I am you lol. I'm 24 and out of college 3 years. I started working full time and then some as a probation officer literally the Monday after graduation! I wasn't used to being so sedentary, but I did ok for the first year and kept up with running. That was until I met and moved in with Fiance! In two years, I gained 30 lbs, two dogs, and a cat, and some really poor eating habits. I'd love to be a part of this

I didn't weigh in today because I weighed myself Friday. My fiance says I'm obsessed with the scale (and he's right but don't tell him that lol) - so he hid it from me and told me I can only have it on fridays! HAHAHA So I guess I will jsut have to go with my friday weight for our weigh-ins. so - 140 right now. I haven't done any measurements though. I keep saying I'm going to but never do - I really should though because I know there has been a major inch-loss overf the last 2 weeks (because of 30DS by jillian michaels - she's a genius!).

Anyway - it's monday and I had a 7am training session from home, then had to be to the office by 9 (I was barely 5mins late) - BUT my boss told be I can bail out of the office at 3!!!! So looking forward to getting out early and enjoying the beautiful weather,

I hope everyone is doing well!

Weigh in today is 147.2! I finally broke in to the 140's this week. Wahhoo!
