in Introduce Yourself
hi everyone, it is very hard to get support from women my age in my life. although they are not againt it, there is always that competitiveness or jealousy elephant in the room. if anyone in this age group would like some support feel free to add me, im somewhat new to this site.

    Me =) I'm 20..
    I have one supporter here.. that I can actually hug and talk to.. My boyfriend =) I've got my Mom but my brother has cancer.. so he is her main focus.. I'm dealing with people at work.. half of them are on Weight Watchers, telling me how to eat.. and some are like 'oh, a diet'... 'OH, counting calories'! They make me feel bad about it! Like, we got these new M&M snacks at work.. We were all talking about oh yummy... and I said 'but I can't have any..'. I said it with confidence.. like 'Yeah! Self control!' and he was like 'What?' he just made me feel so bad about it! It isn't some 'diet' I made a lifestyle change.. and no one understands or supports it. SO.... I'd love support too <3=) We all understand what each other is going through.. So
    Add me! =) I'll support you! With NO judging!

    Me too. I'm 25 and looking to lose 10-15 lbs. Mostly people tell me I don't need to lose weight and I have a lot of thin friends who love junk food, eating out, and happy hour. I also get called "crazy" for getting up at 5am to workout...but that is when I have time! Weekends have been my downfall so I'm hoping adding a few of you as friends will start keeping me honest!

    I know what you mean. If I tell any of my coworkers/friends that I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle, they would try and sabotage my attempts by saying things like, "omg, you don't need to lose weight!" or "have another piece of chocolate, it won't kill you!" Only my boyfriend and my parents know that I'm on MFP and they're supportive. I'm 24. Feel free to add me!

    omggg lmao. my bestfriend is currently on herbal magic.. she started at 230ish and is now almost down to my weight. shes averaging 4 lbs a week and i lost 4lbs a month... it is sooo discouraging and even i am jealous. she does not exercise and i am exercising everyday mostly. i know she will not keep it off but its so frustrating

    Hello,
    I'm 22 and I'm looking to lose about 35lbs. It's so hard because most girls my age are not where I am. I have a 2 yr old and am having a lot of trouble losing the baby weight :-/

    wow this is sooo cool i had no idea i would find so many supporters this is great. yes, in "real life" my circle of friends is smaller. my friends are generally not active. one in particular whom i spnd most time with does not leave the couch. i have one friend who is up f or anything and very supportive. she is not available much. i find myself doing everything alone-which is alright but jeez sometimes would be nice to find some people who dont mind sweating a little.

    i get told im not fat all the time, but they dont wear my jeans.. infact i dont either. i am living in yoga pants and my friend accidently blurted out how trashy it was. i mean she is right but talk about wake up call hahaha !!!

    i hike a lot by myself-not feelin the safest at times but i am determined to get to where im going even if i walk alone. my dog is my number one fitness pal. i cant seem to meet women my age even in fitness classes. its soooo odd to me.
