Losing half your body weight in your 20's

Hello all!!

So my name is Megan and I'm currently 24 (25 in May) and I am trying to lose almost 100 pounds. I wanted to know if there were more people on the same boat as me and wanted to make some friends to help keep each other motivated and on the right track. :D

My goal is to lose at least 5 by the end of summer, workout as much as possible (I do insanity workouts 6x a week) and try to keep my cravings in check.

    Do it now! Don't wait til you're in your 50s or 60s to lose half your body weight, as many of us here have had to do.

    I'm 23 and have lost just over 70 lbs in the last year and a half! Trying to lose another 20 by the end of summer. A little advice: I would focus more on food habits than exercise, even though it helps, changes in food will help more! Feel free to add me :)

    I just turned 23 and have to lose another 60 pounds! Still not the ideal weight but it'll be good enough for me!

    28 and trying to lose another 65lbs! I've already lost 50, so together I'll have lost over 100! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! I found out I had a lot of health issues contributing to me being overweight and once I tweaked those and ate for my body type, I have been doing amazing and feeling amazing!
