Hello,

I am 22 years old and sick of feeling the way I do! I am leaving college and getting ready to start life so I am ready to do it the healthy way. I have some major events coming up and I am ready to get in shape and would love some new friends so we can support each other! :)

    Congrats on finishing college! I just finished up grad school and I just re-dedicated myself to cooking more at home and getting healthy with all of this free time. I'll send a friend request :)

    Thanks ladies! School controlled my life for awhile and my health definitely took a back seat!

    I'm 22 and heading into my 5th (and final!-hopefully) year! I let school be #1 but I can't let my body keep taking the back burner... SO IT'S TIME TO GET HEALTHY, GOOD GRADES, AND GOOD JOBS :happy:

    I'm actually currently going to college. It's rough because I love to eat while studying, especially sweets! Trying to get my eating under control and develop a consistent exercise program before fall semester. I'm sure we can help each other stay on track! Sending you a friend request now.
