    I'm a bit out of your age range, Im 34, but I'm back in school and broke again as well....I'm a bartender and I love seeing my freinds so I still like to go out when I can! I just started mfp and doing P90X... I'm about 15 lbs from my lean self but it's been so tough to discipline myself in general to get where I wanna be...anyways hit me up as I could use the support as well....cheers!

    Nah, you're not too old! Sounds like you're in a similar situation!

    I'm 30- recently. I have been battling weight since my 20's and can relate to everything you talked about. I am finally within 10lbs of my goal and feel like these last few lbs are out of reach.

    Anyone here can feel free to add me! I'd love to swap recipes and tips.

    Hey lady!
    I'm 23. I'm at 145 and would like to get to 135 but we'll see. I have a wedding coming up in August! You are right it is difficult to try to manage calories when you're going out with your friends a lot!

    22 right here. I need about 30 more lbs. It is hard with the lifestyle more 20 somethings lead, but i think at every age group there are always distractions (:

    Okay I'll be enjoying my 20's for 1 more month , then I'll be 30. :-(, but I understand all your struggles, I have another 20lbs to lose , but cant seem to stay on track on the weekends with Alochlol, take out, parties, etc..My husband is a social butterfly and very active inwith sports so his team is always having a gathering or we are having gatherings, Now dont get me wrong I have control but its hard to not treat yourself every once in a while. I'm active for 4-5 days a week with Insanity, zumba, and jogging, Lets be friends on MFP and keep eachother accountable @ Sherronh & Becca_daniel

    Feel free to add me. I just started today.. I'm 23 and I'm looking to lose about 51 lbs. The alcohol is what's killing my weightloss.................. I'll definitely need some support there... I'm assuming the bar code scanner will scan alcohol and beer codes, as well? I haven't tried it yet, but that will help me BIG if it does.

    I'm turning 19 in a few days and a college freshman (in canada, so i can drink). here are a few things i've learned to cut caloric intake on alcohol:
    1. clean alcohols like vodka and gin have the lowest calorie count (also give you the least hangover so potentially saving you from binging on greasy food the next morning)
    2. if you're out drinking, try having mixed drinks with your liquor of choice, club soda, and a splash of a normal beverage. club soda has 0 calories and one shot of liquor typically has around 100. for example, have vodka, club soda, with a splash of cranberry. that way, you save on calories and don't need to feel left out.

    i've learned to pre-plan my days on days when i know i'm going to be going out. i'll plan my meals and make sure to keep my calories low to allow for drinks and still stay within my calorie allowance.

    feel free to add! i'd love to get in touch with people in similar situations as me :)

    I am a 26 year old who has recently transitioned to a young professional and has seen the negative effects of sitting at a desk all day, working overtime, and finding difficultly in motivating myself to workout every day and making healthly choices when it comes to meals and snacking. I am very much into yoga and just started Capoeria as means to stay active. I have 20 pounds to go to be at my goal weight, but my main focus is toning up and just feeling healthier overall. Always welcome to a motivation buddy!

    Hey I'm 22 and I have about 20-30 lbs to lose. I'm mostly interested in losing more fat and building muscle so I'm not overly concerned with any number.
    My diary is open, feel free to add! (a message would be preferred though =])
