    whats up everybody,

    My name is Daniel. I'm 25 years old. live in Northern California about 45 min from SF. I have had a career change that put me inside a office and after a couple years my body changed a lot so I'm here trying to shed some pound. I'm 204 right know trying to get myself back down to 185.

    I have a son Johnny Daniel, He is a big part of my drive to get healthy. My dad is a pretty big guy and I always felt bad that my dad wouldn't play with me because he didn't keep himself fit. So I want to be able to Play sports with my son. When he is old enough. He is barely turning 2 in December. Also my Fiancee she is very healthy person. Gotta try to not fall to far behind.

    Feel free to add. I been on MFP for a little over two weeks so still pretty new.

    Hey I'm Matthew (24 as of the 24th October 1987!)

    I'm from Brighton in the UK and enjoy music (listening, play in a band, watching, dancing (if you can call it that)) amongst other things like pissing away my time on computers or socialising!

    I started my weight journey recently and overshot my weight when I joined (I didn't have scales) so I can assure you I haven't done nearly as well as my profile suggests (yet) 99lbs to go!

    Best of luck everyone, kicking *kitten* is what the twenties is all about

    Hi! I'm Jenae... I will be 25 on Saturday. I currently live in Michigan, but am looking to move out of state here in the next 6-8 months or so. I am just getting out of a trying marriage (9 year relationship). I have lost weight before, but I found it all and then some. Now I am here to lose it all for good.

    I just started back, and haven't had my first full week yet, but I thought this group would be a good place to keep the motivation going!

    Hi everyone. I'm Matt, I'm 22 from the UK. I'm about 360lb so I have a lot to lose. I'm exercising mostly by walking at the moment and reducing my calories. I really don't know what else to say. Feel free to add me as a friend on MFP.

    I'm Jesi.
    21 (almost 22 in Dec)
    From Michigan
    I'm a skier that let herself go after high school. I started to pick up running (which I found out that I actually LIKE) but an old knee injury flared up.
    I started MFP in June and was doing well, then I went home for a few weeks, went to Vegas a couple times and put on about 15 lbs.
    Tomorrow is my 50th day of being serious about this! :)

    Hi everyone! Welcome to the group :bigsmile:

    I'm Meag, turning 25 in December from Hamilton ON,and I've been around this "block" for a while. Started up these here "Challenges" for 20-somethings in Oct 2010 and the group has maintained a pretty steady membership since then, with some natural peaks and valleys. At that time I was 10-15lbs from maintenance and needed that extra kick in the *kitten* to finally lose it all and stay on track.

    All told I've lost about 70lbs since October 2009. I took up running in March 2010 and absolutely love running, spin, yoga, and any other physical activity - especially those that get me outside and allow me to really push my limits. I am recently developing a love for trail running, obstacle courses, orienteering and other such activities and I am interested in the prospect of CrossFit programs. I try to "spin" once or twice a week when I can, and just generally love kicking some *kitten* :drinker:

    I eat well, and LOTS, and I love to cook and share recipes. That's all I can think of but I'm sure you'll all get to know me over time. I love to offer my $0.02 on everything! :tongue:

    Feel free to ask me anything and friend me if you like! :bigsmile:

    holy new members! love it! and thanks for starting the group, abby!

    my name is amy, i'm 25 (26 in a few weeks), and i'm from chicago, il. i joined MFP in august 2010 and have lost nearly 50lbs since then. only a few lbs away. i'm only about half way to my ultimate goal, but taking it slow and doing it the healthy way!

    music is pretty much my life. if i'm not at work, i'm usually catching a concert or hanging at my friends' studio watching their band practice and record.

    i thrive on positive attitudes and believe true happiness can only start with yourself. welcome to our group everyone! feel free to add me as a friend if you want! :flowerforyou:

    We've had a few men come and go, but never any that stayed steadily from month to month...

    I think all the talk of kids, pregnancy and TOM scared 'em off :laugh: JK!

    A big welcome to the men as well! It's great to have some testosterone flying around these here boards once in a while! Please, make yourself at home!

    Hey guys,

    I'm Sam, I'm 22 years old and from PA. I'm a registered nurse so I spend a lot of time working, but I fit in working out at least 5-6 times a week and I generally try to eat healthy without limiting myself too much :) My favorite workouts right now are all from bodyrock.tv. The workouts are free, very inspiring and make me feel strong :D

    I'm excited to be a part of this group!

    Hello there Friends!

    I'm Bethany! And only into the last few days of my twenties since I reach the big 3-0 next month. I am a single mama to 2 kids so finding a good balance between work, the kiddos, a workout schedule and eating healthy can be tough but I'm hoping to make it last this time around so that I can be more active with the kids. And also feel amazing.

    This group has been an amazing addition to my life and I am completely thankful for each and every member that has added kind words, encouragement, and their brutal 2 cents. I still have a lot to learn and can't wait to learn with the rest of you!

    Haha this is funny. I have a son hes almost two hes a beast. been apart of the pregnancy with my fiancee and nothing worse than a pissed off Irish women. funny I found this on my phone. I got instantly addicted. Sometimes people you deal with day to day don't understand what a pain in the *kitten* this changing your lifestyle is. MFP is a lot of like minded people and its great bouncing ideas off and the support is awesome. I have lost around 9 pounds and I have 11 to go for my first goal. Add if you like .
    Cynthia I Am also from san jose. Hilarious 45 min from sf same description I used. Have a great day all.

    I'm Kendi, from Shawnee, OK. I work full time and really gained weight the first year of marriage, when I worked a high stress job. I have steadily been gaining and losing the same 10-15 pounds over the last 3 years and finally had enough.

    I have been on track since Sept. 1, 2011 and am really excited about losing the rest.

    A little bit about me...

    My name is Jennelle Yopchick, I'm 27 years old living in Boston with my boyfriend John of 10 years and our two kids...err I mean cats (I always forget there's a difference). I'm currently finishing my PhD at Northeasten University in Experimental Psychology. I recently just began my dream job working in the health and fitness industry, helping people to lose weight through a science-based weight management program while simultaneously teaching fitness classes! I am just in the training phase for this dream job while finishing school, but am LOVING everything I'm learning about nutrition and fitness and will definitely be sharing lots of info with you all!

    I lost 30 lbs in 2009 and joined MFP last April to help maintain and shed the few pounds I've gained back over the last three years. I'm on track and kicking *kitten*!!! :)

    I find a lot of joy in both helping other people and learning as much as I possibly can from them - I hope if you're reading this you'll become one of those people in my life very soon :)

    Hello I'm Eleanore,
    I'm 26 and from Ottawa, Canada. I've been on MFP for about a year now :) I stopped logging in June but have recently started again. I lost 40 pounds and noticed them starting to creep up again lately, so I want to stay on track. I also love the support and the people on here :)
