Hi there!!!!!! Not sure how this works yet but here we go: I'm new to this site and I'm looking for friends for support. I am 22 and need to lose about 20 lbs and tone up. Anyone with similar goals? My bf (who is really fit) and I have recently started running together and it's really hard to keep up with him, I want to improve my overall fitness level and feel great in my own skin. Add me if you'd like, thanks for reading. :flowerforyou:

    Hi, I'm 21 and my initial goal was to lose 20lbs.
    I reached that in April so now I'm more focused on building muscle and changing body comp rather than the scale. Started bulking and cutting cycles recently so will be losing again from the new year :)

    Hi everyone,

    I lost two stone earlier this year (total target is four), and got so pleased I was halfway and could fit back into my slimmer clothes, I kind of eased up on the weight loss. I haven't put any back on, but need to get my *kitten* in gear, especially with Christmas coming up (temptation EVERYWHERE!)

    Add me if you'd like, would love some support (and be able to support others) as we all try to do this!

    I'm 19, just had a baby and have been stuck in the hospital for nearly 2 months, so i have to lose much more than just 20 lbs but i'm not trying to look at the scale just want to fit into my clothes better. if my hubby and i can afford it at tax time we want to get new wardrobes but that's not gonna happen at the weight i'm at now and i really want new clothes =D I'd love to have someone to go on this journey with =D

    Hi!
    I'm 18, ex-cross country and track runner (in high school... I miss it!), and recent victim of the freshman 15. I'm hoping to survive the holiday season and come back home during winter break a good 10 lbs lighter. I used to run every day, but I dealt with some tough transitions freshman year in college and ended up taking a semester off... Unfortunately, I couldn't get the weight off yet, so here's to hoping MFP helps me do that! It's great to see so many people supporting one another on this site, especially when the holiday season brings on so much temptation in terms of food/sweets. Thanksgiving weekend at home really did me in, but today's a new day, and another chance to succeed! I'll definitely add anyone who (like me!) is in need of a little support/motivation. I believe in you all!
