    i'm in!
    i'm 23 and working 40 hours a week at a desk job. This is my first year out of school so its been difficult for me to establish a good routine for myself as far as working out and eating. I'm not over weight by any means but i am looking to lose a few pounds, and i am very much in the 'toning up' stage.
    i'm looking to tone up, add muscle and subtract that annoying pooch!

    :smile: Hi Ladies
    At 20 I am working a busy conference sales job working 45+ hours per week while juggling part time University. I have a big family and an active social life so understand what it feels like to be tired and totayly time starved. This is a great idea!

    Hi! I'd love to join! I work 50-60 hours/week in HR and go to law school at night. I'm married and try to maintain a social life. As you are all clearly aware, it's tough to fit it all in! I've lost a little bit so far, but still have a ways to go to get to my final GW. I think this is a great idea!

    Hi ladies! I hope I'm not too late on this one...

    I'm 27, I work 8-4:30 as a fundraiser, but that also means many late nights, lots of work travel, etc. I also coach on the side and I'm taking a few additional classes on the side toward a Master's Degree. I do volunteer with a variety of organizations and I do like to go out and have fun as well!

    I'd love to join :smile:

    Hi all,

    I'm 26 and an engineer training in Korea. I sit on my butt between 8 and 12 hours a day 5 days a week. I don't have a gym to go to and it has gotten pretty cold so the hour + walks that helped me jump start my post grad school weight lost have become almost nonexistent. I was doing good with the exercise and calorie counting until about November and it has been down hill from there and I am starting to gain the weight back! Grrrrr! So I need to refocus and I hope this group can help me do that! I want to come home in April a size 8! which I am guessing is about 10 lbs away... (size 10 now)

    Hello! I'm Nikita, I'm 25 and I work with the government. My job is pretty stressful and there's not a lot of time during the day to take care of yourself. I have a trip to cuba planned in 86 days now (but who's counting right?) and this kind of thing will be great to keep me on track to reach my goals before i go!
    Thanks for the invite morgan :)

    meee! i'm 26 and i work a mostly desk job - i am a therapist in a school. i do get to walk around but not as much as i'd like. in the summer i'm out in the community which means lots of parks and stuff. however, from September til June i'm sitting on my butt around 6 hours a day and then maybe another 2 for paperwork. i probably work 50 or so hours a week.

    i'm a vegetarian and in general i eat pretty well. i am on a higher-protein, carb-limited diet due to insulin resistance.

    I'm in if there's still time! I don't want to lose the motivation I have at the minute!

    I'm 29 and a computer programmer from the UK. Sat on my backside for 40 hours a week at work, then tend to be on the PC when I get home too, but that's all changing now.

    I want to get myself under 12st by my 30th in August, which is about 20lbs but my ultimate goal is down to 10st.
