We got this girlfriend!

Overall, more muscle = more calorie burn thanks to muscles being efficient calorie consumers. Therefore, pushing heavy weight to increase your muscle mass could be the good way to go! We as women can’t get “bulky” in the same way men can, so no need to worry about that possible side effect. If you also want to work on your…

Hey! I searched 20-somethings and this is the only active group around! I'm 25, 5'8" and am in the same 5 lb range. I'm THICK on the lower half and can always tone up. Let's hope more people find our group!

You can do it girlfriend!!!!! Give yourself grace and realize that your life is more full when you're healthy and able to enjoy it :)

We're TWINS! Emotional + stress eating included. It's a vicious cycle.

Hey girls!! I'm 25 (ALMOST late 20's!) and love MFP friends! Accountability is huge for me, as I'm sure it is for ya'll as well. I like knowing people can see what I'm doing - or what I'm NOT doing that I should be! Where are you at in your fitness/healthy living/weight loss journeys?

SW: 150 CW: 145 GW: 137 H: 5'8" Age: 25 Let's be friend!

I'm losing 5 in April! Any other clean eating, running, weight lifting and spin-class people out there?? Let's be friends! Motivation is always good :)

YUM. Thank you everyone for sharing!

I'm adding you both! The more the merrier, right?! What races are on the agenda for you both?

I'm curious the book you are all referring to?!

AMEN, SISTER! We make certain things priorities in our lives, and somehow manage to budget for them. Food is one of those things that's totally worth the investment. Which would you rather spend money on - good, healthy food or medications?

Coconut milk (you can find it in small cartons!) is a fun way to add flavor... The moral of the story? Life is WAY worse without coffee!

Really like the idea of the popcorn... It seems like once I start, it's impossible to stop like a few people referenced. Thanks for sharing the thoughts!!

Ahhh, a fellow fat kid at heart! You better believe I enjoy my giant pieces of breakfast pizza after those long runs!

Raw almonds. Low sugar protein bars. Herbal tea. Mini hershey bars :)

No fried Oreos on a stick for you! lol

GO CYCLONES! I mean... Hey guys, love seeing other Iowa people here:) Atleaat three of us won't be fitting into the fat stereotype of the State Fair folks!

Hey! I recently had this happen... I had gotten into a rut of doing the same cardio/weight lifting routine and was losing interest, fast. What worked for me was finding a new lifting routine (I love www.womenshealthmag.com) and trying a new form of cardio. If your gym has a Stair Master or rowing machine, give them a try…

If spots are still available I would like to join!
