Hey! I'm 5'9 and currently ~160 lbs, looking to get down to 135 by sticking to around 1200 cals a day. Any other girls in their 20s trying to get healthier and lose some weight? I'm tired of none of my clothes fitting/not wanting to go out because I feel so awkward at my current weight.

    I am right there with you! I am 22, 5'3 and 185lbs. I am new to MyFitnessPal. I'm taking baby steps to get down to my goal 145 (thats my goal at the moment...I'm sure that number will go down when I get closer to my goal). I am trying to stick around 1,00-1,200 calories a day. The hardest thing is a snacker, I snack all day long! And it's not the healthy stuff I'm snacking on. I would be more than happy to help hold you accountable. :smile:

    Hey!

    I'm 23 and looking to slom down to my high school weight of 120-125. Although staying healthy and toned is more important than the number on that scale. i'm eating the same amout of calories as you girls, around 1200 a day and trying to burn 400-500 a day with elliptical and then 30 min of strength of training.

    Snacking is hard to stop, so instead of snacking on fatty greasy stuff, try a fresh fruit mix! I keep 1 cup serving of chopped strawberries, rasberries, and blackberries handy throughout my work day. It healthy, delicous, refreshing, and not loaded with calories.

    I am new to MFP too, and look forward to encouraging all of you lovely ladies!

    I am 170 trying to get to 130-135. I feel the same way. I have been doing 1200 calories the last week and haven't lost weight but have shed some inches already.

    I'm 22 (23 in May!) and I'm 5'1" 118lbs on a good day. I'm trying to stay around 1200-1400 calories while burning about 500-700 working out with cardio. Also I just started strength training and will do my first class of Zumba before the week is up.

    Add me if you'd like, but be warned: I like to post random updates about things that may or may not matter to anyone else lol
