Age: 24

Occupation: Not really anything that I can call an occupation, but I do work at my university as a fitness instructor

College (alum/current student): In a Master's program for International and Comparative Politics

Location:Ohio

Fitness Goals: Weightloss -> Lose another 30-40 lbs (already 60 down), be able to do a pull up by my birthday in November, get better at yoga

Exercising: Do you do it, and what do you do? I teach cycling classes and I do yoga and Barre classes every week. I do enjoy running and I need to start doing it more, but bleh. I did make a deal to myself that I'll only watch Game of Thrones on days when I do some sort of exercise, so that's been a huge motivator

Consistency (are you here for today, or will you be here long term? And do you get on every day or once a week? etc): I log in every day but I lurk a lot. I struggle with depression, so I try to find a balance between using my MFP friends as an "out" and respecting them enough to not just post all my depressing *kitten* all over the place, lol.

Favorite Movie/Book/Whatever: My favorite book is called "The Unquiet Ghost" and it's about people who lived during the Soviet Union and after it collapsed. It's truly a fascinating read for anybody interested in that sort of stuff. I also truly loved the book "Headscarves and Hymens" by an Egyptian woman who is talking about women's rights issues in the Middle East and North Africa. Again, I think it's more of a niche thing but those are my favorites.
On a lighter note, I love Harry Potter too and there's even a Harry Potter weight loss challenge on MFP! I think they're posting a thread about it on 5/18, so keep your eye out if you're interested. It involves challenges for eating healthy (encouraging good decisions, not restricting per se), exercise, and includes trivia. They separate students into the four houses and we compete in groups against the other houses. It's a ton of fun and a great motivator!

Anything else pertinent: I love cats and beer. But my cats don't love beer for some odd reason.

Hi everyone, I'm Laura!

Age: 23

Occupation: Customer Service

College: Towson University

Location: Bel Air, Maryland

Fitness Goals: I'd like to get down to or around 120 pounds. Run a 5k!

Exercising: Twice a week I go to the gym with 30 minutes of cardio and then free weights for abs and arms. I started the 30 day shred dvd the other day as something to do on days I don't go to the gym and I can tell it's going to take me way longer than 30 days.

Consistency (are you here for today, or will you be here long term? And do you get on every day or once a week? etc): Well I've only been at it for 6 days but I want to remain consistent! I'm not sure how I'll be once I lose and maintain weight.

Favorite Movie/Book/Whatever: Movie - I can't pick one, but if it's a musical I'll probably love it. Book - Right now i'm rereading ASoIaF.

Anything else pertinent: I love animals, especially horses and cats. I cosplay too. I love dancing but I am incredibly uncoordinated. Feel free to add me

I was in denial about being a millennial for a long time. I think there is a difference between those of us whom didn't have internet until into/past puberty versus those raised with it and that should be acknowledged. Maybe cut 1980-1990. Buuuuut, I took a class in Managing Generational Differences and I am really stoked on a lot of cultural tendencies of millennials.

Confession: My name is DorkothyParker and I am a Millennial.

Age: 32 (33 in July!)
Occupation: Retail Banker, volunteer Guardian Ad Litem, Mom
College (alum/current student): Boise State University BA. Communications, BSU grad student (current): Conflict Management.
Location: Boise, ID
Fitness Goals: Summer Witch trend. Fashion is my fitness goal.
Exercising: Training for a half-marathon. Running with some yoga. I hate yoga.
Consistency: Here and there. Feeling a lot better about being here on a high fat diet instead of standard low calorie. Originally came on to recover from Anorexia. Left. Came back to burn baby weight. Left. Now back with the HFLC group!
Favorite Movie/Book/Whatever: Science fiction fan. Philip K Dick, Star Trek, comic books. General nerding.
Anything else pertinent: Married 12+ years, mom of one toddler (one and done!), future Family Law Mediator (I hope!), former kindergarten teacher (S. Korea). I love kids. I believe the head and hands connect through the heart.

Hey, Freyja here. Been on here a while but not really done the social side of it (because most of it seems to either be screaming CICO at some poor person who asked a slightly misguided question, or ego-stroking bordering on cyber sex. Rant over.). Plus I'm a loner. But here goes.
Firstly, we must acknowledge that Cracked beats Buzzfeed in everything except diversity (go Buzzfeed!).
Anyway....

Age: 26
Occupation: Government statistical analyst
College (alum/current student): Got myself a MSc in Investigative Psychology from the University of Huddersfield (UK)
Location: Wales, UK
Fitness Goals: Have thighs that don't rub in the summer, look how I think I'm going to look in clothes before I put them on and see myself, be less pudgy. I want to put down things like be healthy and toned, but without the exercise and with the hit-and-miss healthy eating I think they're a bit unrealistic.
Exercising: Nope. I think I want to exercise but the fact that I don't do it probably means I'm lying to myself.
Consistency: Every day, 133 days, even the bad ones (and there are some really bad ones in there)
Favorite Movie/Book/Whatever: I love books by Neal Stevenson. Fan of sci-fan/fantasy/superheros. Also love musicals, rom-coms and pretty much anything made by the Hallmark channel (particularly Christmas movies and their murder mysteries). And Disney (yes, even the disney channel original movies that are made for 11 year olds and aren't animated).
Anything else pertinent: I'm totally feeling the #millenialquarterlifecrisis (my first ever hashtag, maybe I'm not so millennial after all). I've got all the good intentions and not much of the follow through. I'm a veggie but not a very healthy one. I knit, sometimes. I cook, sometimes. I work too much. I love cocktails. I don't have a social life. I do have a budgie. He doesn't like me. I can't dance. I once taught drug education in a prison. I have a lot of shoes.
