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. :)

Edit: Please feel free to add me. Just include a msg that we're members of the same group.

    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.

    I would qualify you as settled. :)

    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 All, My name is Mercedes. I just turned 26. I'm officially in my late twenties. lol. Engaged but we've lived together a few years and bought a house. We have no kids together except a BEAUTIFUL black lab named Skippy. I love Skippy.
    Anyways, our date is 9/8/12 and i have not even started looking for dresses because I hate shopping for clothes because I don't like where i am. I seriously want my 14 year old body back. I guess i would settle for my 17 year old body.

    Anyways, i need the support and looking at doing this the healthiest way possible. :)

    PS. ladies, I need freinds. :D

    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 :)

    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!

    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.
