Hello All! I'm 25, not married, but have been living with my boyfriend for the last 4.5 years. Planning on getting married but we aren't in any hurry (for the most part we already are, just haven't put a ring on it lol) We have a chocolate Lab, an English Bulldog, and a Himalayan (muh babies!). I would definitely say I'm pretty settled. My boyfriend and I typically hang out with older couples because it's so hard to find couples, or individuals for that matter, our age that appreciate the finer things in life (like the mortgage payment is due in a week, the gas bill was due yesterday, and the dog ate the water bill ). I've enjoyed reading the introductions and it is really nice to see others like us. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi everyone! I'm 24 with two kids, 2 and 4. I "settled" at 19 when I married my hubby. I have a house with a lot of land we hope to turn into a farm one day. We have two german shepherd mixes. I'm going back to school hopefully this coming semester for biology.

Sometimes I wonder if I settled too early but then I look around in wonder and realize that, no, I settled at just the right time.

Farm?! So jealous!!! But in all seriousness, that is awesome!

Hey my name is Melissa im 23 got married at 19 and had a daughter at 21

Hi, I'm Megan, from Connecticut, I'm 22. Got married in May and have been on my own since I was 20. I work full time, as does my husband. No kids, but we have a ferret. We're completely an old couple, we rarely go out and when we do it's just to dinner or to do some shopping. By the time we're done working for the most part all we want to do is have some chill time at home.

Hey all, My name is Charlotte. Im 21 partner is 22 weve been together for 5 years, & currently been trying to have give for 1.5yrs..

Hi,

I'm Marianne (27), I've been married for 5 years and have 2 daughters who are 17mo and 4. My oldest daughter is in Kindergarden and I work full time. I've had some issues controlling my weight after the birth of my second child and am above my pre-pregnancy weight of 186.5lbs.

Hey Everyone!

I am a 22 year old college student and I have not lived with my parents since I was 18. I have lived with my boyfriend for the past 4 years and we have been together for almost six years. We plan on getting married as soon as we both finish school(he is also in school and we are the same age). We have lived with his parents but it is not a free ride and we always aim to contribute.

We really aren't into the whole partying thing, don't really drink, and never use drugs. We go to school, work, volunteer, and help out around the house. We have our ups and downs but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I can't wait to finish school and possibly start having little ones. Everyone thinks we are crazy but what is REALLY wrong with having someone you love and get along with(like seriously, lol)?

Hello, my name is Kelli. I am 24 years old, I have been married for 4 years. I don't have any kids yet, but I have two cats that I love dearly.

I graduated from college in May of 2009, I have since worked in the health information management field. We bought our first house last year, and boy was that an adventure!

When I was a full time student and working about 50 hours per week, things were so fast paced, I didn't have the time to focus on myself. My life is more relaxed now, and it is time to focus on my health.

I have lost 52 lbs since April and I have about 100 more to lose.

Feel free to add me as a friend, the more the merrier!!

Candace here, I'm 24 married for 5 years in January and have a 3 year old daughter! I love my life, even if other people might think it's boring..I don't drink, never have and I don't go out!..I don't have any friends per say, not any that I would trust or confide in.. I for some reason sometimes feel like I'm a burden to them because I am settled and okay with the way things are going...

Hi, I'm Bre. I am 23 years old & my 1st wedding anniversary is this month. Me & my husband have been together since we were 16, and we have a 19 month old daughter. I am fortunate to have a few friends who are married or have been in long term relationships &/or have kids, although I don't see them often due to everyone being busy with their families...

I moved out from my mother's house at age 17, and at 19 me & my husband got our first apartment. Moving out of my mother's house was the beginning of my problem with my weight. Once I became responsible for myself I stopped eating healthy & gained more than the freshman 25lbs. I would say I am very settled down because I live for my family & I enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I have never really liked going to clubs nor have I ever liked the party scene, but I enjoy going out for dinner & drinks with my husband or my friends whenever possible...

Anyway, I am glad to see that there are other people in the world besides my few friends who have similar lives, and free free to add me :-)

Hi there! I'm Heather. I live in Cincinnati. I'm 27 years old, and have been married for 4 years, but have lived with my husband for 7(and we have been together for 10 years! Woo!). I didn't really struggle with my weight until I became an adult. I started gaining a little bit when I was in college. I was a graphic designer for 6 years, so I lived a pretty sedetary life. I was making new friends at work and all they wanted to do was go out to lunch every day. So I went along with it and didn't think of the consequences. It seemed like I woke up one morning and I was fat. Like I exploded overnight. haha. I'm in school now for cosmetology. Although I'm on my feet all day, I'm still not super active. My husband and I don't have any children yet. We have been trying for 3 years now. I have PCOS and have had 2 miscarriages. It's been really hard on me and my body. I had gained 50lbs since high school when I got pregnant the first time(age 24). Then I had a miscarriage and went into a deep depression and gained another 20lbs. That was in 2009. I had another miscarriage in Nov '11 and although I wanted to go into another depression, I didn't. I'm a little better now, but I'm going to stay positive and move on. I'm going to become healthy so that I can have the children that my husband and I are dying to have.

I sound like such a depressing person right now! haha, I promise that I'm a positive person! It's so nice to meet everyone and I hope we can all keep each other movitated to get us where we are going in life!

Greetings, all! I'm turning 26 later this month. I'm a 3rd year graduate student in a PhD program. I'm getting married May 26, 2012. While slimming down by my wedding day motivation to start losing weight sooner rather than later, it is not my primary motivation, so I'm avoiding anything that is geared toward brides.

I've been slowly and steadily gaining weight since I turned 21, so I'm about 30-35 pounds heavier than I was 5 years ago. I was already 10-15 pounds overweight then, but I was comfortable with my body. My struggles with weight stem from over-snacking, drinking too often, and telling myself that I deserve that piece of chocolate or beer because I've put in a long day.

My fiance is super supportive and my roommate is also looking to lose a few pounds, so I should have reasonable support. I just have to stay focused.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriages- but I think you do sound positive!! Just because your positive doesn't mean you have to ignore what you have been through

Yeay for motivation!

Hello everyone! I'm Jessica 23 years old, 2 kids age 4 and age 2 I have been married since 2006 so 5 years. I have a part time job and my kiddos. We go out maybe once a month if we are lucky. I don't really hang out with other couples my age. Most of the girls I called friends are single moms or just single. They think differently about girls night so I just stay away haha. I have been on and off CalorieCount for 6 months *right around the start of the holidays* I'm on a mission to be in a bathing suit this summer. I also just want to get my BMI down from that obese line it's creeping up to.

Feel free to add me! The more we can help each other the better.
Oh and I live on the West coast.

Hey everyone! I'm 27 getting ready to turn 28 and have been married for almost 4 years.i live in Las Vegas and work full time as a community manager. No kids but I have three dogs, a bird and a turtle. Between work, meetings and home I feel like I don't have a ton of time for myself but really that has just been my excuse to be lazy for the past several years. My sister has been a huge inspiration to me recently and together we are working to get back in shape. I have 190 pounds to go to reach my goal but have already lost 21 pounds and am still going strong.

To add to my motivation, my sister has offered to pay for a years worth of personal training to help me get my life, health and happiness back and I am jumping in head first. Hope to see you all at the end of this journey and good luck in reaching your goals this year.

Anyone who wants to add me, please feel free! The more support we can offer each other the better!
