    27, almost 28 (omg) but lots left to go! Eating out is the worst. Two of my best friends are doing weight watchers so that has been a help but so hard!!!

    Hi!! I'm new! (Well kinda had mfp for forever but never used the message boards before) I'm 24 and I need to loose around 60lbs! Since I moved away from home to a city where I know NOONE, I really have found my motivation has slumped because I have noone to encourage me, so hopefully this forum will help!! I have started doing Zumba cardio and sculpt and tone, and have never sweated so much in my life, but I have to admit its super fun! My issue with loosing weight isn't that I eat too much, it's that I don't eat enough.. some days I barely touch 700 cals.. and I know this is bad because it puts my body into starvation mode so when I do eat it goes straight to the belly, but I just never feel hungry!! Does anyone else have this problem?!

    27 here. Been exercising regularly which helps cause I dont have to feel hungry during the day because I earn my food. Need to do more though just tried textured protein actually good compared to what I have been fearing for years.

    I'm 28 - I have just over one more year in my twenties :*(
    Oh well - too bad I waited until I was 27 to start looking my best. I feel like I blew my twenties away with being overweight!!! Good for you getting it done while you're younger. Your skin will thank you.

    Ok then - good luck to you. Feel free to add me as a friend - unless I'm too old...LOL!!!

    I'm going to contribute nothing of importance or gain here. Only to say that I am 26 and good lord, this thread makes me feel old and sad when realizing that I now reside closer to the "30 somethings" group. How did this happen?!

    Hello. I am 26 and want to loose 7 to 10 more pounds. I don't have a problem with drinking and partying because I do neither, but I do love to eat out and I love carbs and sweets. that is where my problem lies and what I need to change about my diet. I workout 5 to 6 times a week but the last couple of pounds are not coming off for nithng, I am loosing inches but I want to see the weight drop!

    I'm 24 and just joined the site today. I'm just starting out but I want to lose about 10 pounds. More importantly, I want to be more active since I normally sit at the computer all day for school and then I come home and read or play video games. I'm a graduate student, so something that's going to be tough for me is trying to eat well on a budget (although something that has helped with that is my favorite cooking blog, Budget Bytes--check it out!) and find active things to do that don't cost a lot of money. Any advice would be really helpful!

    26 here....i've lost 27lbs since the first of this year...still have about that much more to go...but when i do go out to drink I usually order diet coke and rum. rum has about 70 calories per shot. I just make room for it in my day. you can have 2 or 3 and not do much damage...and if you do happen to go over a little bit one day, who cares? losing weight is a slow process not to be rushed if you want to be successful and keep it off.

    I'm 21, will be 22 in July. I am pretty much at maintenance scale wise (only 3 lbs from the goal weight I had set). I'm just working on getting stronger, learning to run distances, & tightening up the belly, hips, & thigh area. Feel free to add.

    I turn 22 in July too! When is your birthday? Mine is the 2nd :)
