Ok, you all know what I'm talking about.

I'm 24, married, mom of 1. I have friends still living with their parents, still partying it up, still mooching....they're missing out on real life.

Coffee is my last name, though I do like to drink it. I am a nerd, and proud of it. Read my profile for anything else. :)

  • I'm 26 - will be 27 soon (eep!). Mom of 3 - two boys ages 7 & 4, and a 9 month old daughter. I'm married to a younger man ;) (he's 24, soon to be 25).
    We live in Florida, so I kinda need to get in shape again before beach season starts in February!

    I am 29 and married. We don't have kids but we do have 2 dogs :P

    We got married when I was 25 but I have been living with my now husband and not relying on my parents for at least 5 years now. It is a lot different when you aren't living with your parents and you don't have your parents or their money to rely on.

    I am getting close to 30 (I just turned 29 less than a week ago) but not quite out of the 20s yet!

    I am 21, not yet married, but living part time with the guy I am going to marry. We'll get married as soon as I am done with school or he can afford a big enough ring, whichever comes first. Haha

    Part time because during the week I am in college and stay in my dorm, and on the weekends I live in our apartment.

    I don't have any kids. I guess I am not as settled as you ladies, but I don't go out and party or date.

    Hi, Im Jennifer. I'm 23. Been married for a year and a half and have been with my husband since we were 16. We're not planning on having kids any time soon but we have a german shepherd :) My husband and I live on the east coast while all of our family and friends live on the west coast so it's nice to be on a social site like this. I like to party still (not super crazy but hanging out with other couples), but I guess I can because I have no kids to worry about when I'm hung over ;) I try not to drink too much though because I don't think it fits very well into my new healthy lifestyle. I love outdoorsy type stuff and love to travel. I want to be in awesome shape for the first time in my life!

    Hi, My name is Pascale, I am 26 and I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now, I can't wait to get married to him, but he wants to wait a little. I am a University student, started in september. Law school can be tough, especially i am almost 10 years older than most of the students. I see them partying and not going to class and that makes me wonder what they are doing there...

    I have been on my own since I was 17. I have always paid my bills and taken my responsability.

    Now, with the new added stress, University, I took on 15 pounds! :(

    I want to look good for my anniversary in april with my boyfriend!

    It's great that you are becoming healthy now and will enjoy shopping for your dress when that time does come! I unfortunately was very unhappy with my weight at my wedding. But I guess I'm changing things now and that's better than never :)

    Hi, I'm Amy and I'll be turning 25 at the end of the month. Met my husband when I was 18 and we got married in 2009. We just had our first baby boy in March. I LOVE being a wife and mommy!:smile:
  • Hello ALL!

    I'm Caroline, 22, and I got married this past May to Christopher (21). I'm done with undergrad and grad school, and living in Auburn, AL while Christopher finishes up his undergrad. Next May he'll graduate and we're off to another city for him to start medical school! Yay!!

    We don't have kids- We want to enjoy each other for a while before we have kiddos. Also, we're waiting to start our own little family until we are more financially secure,... some of our siblings got married too young (and without a plan) and are living off our our parents, and we don't want to be like them! We're trying to be as responsible as possible.

    Feel free to add me, and I'll add you! I think it's great, and necessary, to have MFP friends of all different sizes, ages, and stories, but for me, personally, I find it most helpful when I have friends with similar stories!

I have only one friend that is similar in age that has a similar lifestyle all my other friends are still partying and doing things that as a married woman i wouldn't do. I love them but can't relate. I have a bsw and plan on going back to school for my msw in may. Look forward to chatting with you guys
  • Hello! I'm Carla. I'm 22, married for 2 years (together for 5) and have two boys (3 yr and 11 months). My husband works while I go to school for nursing. We're active in our church and mostly opt to stay in most nights, unless we have to make a diaper run! >.<

    Feel free to add me. :)
  • Hey,

    I'm 25, married, 1 child: 15 month old girl. I don't have much of a life outside of working full time, taking care of my Daughter and Husband, and running my household. Due to my "friends" dropping like flies once I got in a relationship and had my daughter(Everyone is still living the party life).

    Feel free to add me, always looking for friends with similar lifestyles.

    I am Ana, I am 21, and not married. My boyfriend bought a house at 22 and since then we have becoem "settled down", we are both mature for our age. I do enjoy going out, but not to often. Someday I will get maried and have kids, right now I am in school and work for an amazing company part time. I do get jealous of my friends that have no commitments or even thier own car to worry about, but in 5 years when my boyfriend and i have good jobs, nice house and can afford to do what we want I think I will have made the right decision.

    Hi you all!

    I'm Amber, 26 years, not married but have been with and living with the same guy for two years now, it'll be 3 at the end of the month (day after thanksgiving actually). I don't have kids of my own but he's got a daughter who's here on the weekends well every other weekend and she's adorable and I love her to pieces. We don't go out and party. Definitely the stay at home body types or the let's go out see a movie once in a while people. I like to cook that's pretty much my only real hobby I have aside from reading.

    Allright well I'll check in with you all later. Got some dishes to wash (oh fun.) lol.

    Hi!

    My name is Katina. 24 not married. I was engaged for a while but the guy was younger than I am and in the end it was just a better idea for us to go our seperate ways. I've been out of my parents house for about 2 years and am in fact aboutg about to move into a new house. I'm super excited about this.

    The only babies in my life are my 14 month old godson RJ and my cat Izea.

    I work full time as a manager and support myself.

    My girlfriend is 31 and hopefully we will be getting married and having babies befre I'm 30!

    Feel free to add me! I love making friends!

    Hey I'm 22 with 3 kiddos, I married right after I turned 18. I work part time right now (out of want not need thankfully) as a photographer. It definitely is different being a married 20 something than being a single 20 something.

    Hi everyone! I'm 23 and living with my boyfriend of seven years... I'm currently in law school, so we will be getting married after I graduate when we can actually afford to since he's the only one paying all the bills by himself right now (a real trooper!!)... I don't think we'll be having kids, but he did promise me a puppy when I finish :happy: ! It's nice to know I'm not the only 20-something not obsessed with partying and drinking!

I really want to get in better shape before we try for our 2nd child in July 2012. I am looking for advice and support of any kind.

    Hello, my name is Cara.

    I'm 20 years old, I've been married for 2 years. My husband and I are stationed in South Carolina with the Air Force.

    I have one baby, the 4 month-old chunk in the picture. His name is Asher. I left my job to take care of my son (the cost of daycare would have made my job pointless). I am a part time student at the local branch of the University of South Carolina.

    I'm here because I have gained some weight since the wedding (and a little more with the pregnancy) and I'd like to get back to my weight at the time of our marriage. :smile:

    This seems like a great group!
