Hello hello! I'm 20 years old from the US! I've lost 30 pounds in the past year, but the more impressive fact is that I've managed to keep it off in maintenance mode. College is tricky when trying to attempt a healthy lifestyle, but It helps to have a great support system! Feel free to add me, I love making new MFP pals to…

You are all so sweet! Thanks so much :)

Hey there! Im 20 and gonna be a junior in college! Feel free to friend me, I love having a support system around my own age to keep me motivated when I slack off!

Thanks! Wasn't it like the most fun ever? I had a blast! Couldn't have chose a better race for my first one! --- Thanks to everyone for your kind compliments! I am truly ecstatic to see that I'm toning up a bit! I am going to keep working as hard as I can to keep seeing definition!

I'm 5"4 too! Sounds like you've got a great goal! I've been in that weight range fluctuating since November 2011 and just toning since then! Just takes hard work and a little time and you'll get there! Thanks so much, good luck reaching your goal! Stay focused! You got this!

No, I wish I was that crafty! They're actually Soffe brand!

I'm 5"4 and 3/4s last I checked. :)

Congratulations! I'm doing the Color Run in my own State in two weeks. I can't wait. It will be my first 5K. Thanks for showing the fun pics!

Thanks for your input everyone! To those who expressed not needing a powder for the protein - I understand. I do eat a lot of greek yogurt already and get protein, but I am looking to invest in some for up at college after workouts on busy days when I may not be able to get the lean meats with protein that I need etc. It's…

I am 20! :) I could use a few more MFP friends around my age to keep me motivated! That being said.. hey I just met you and this is crazy, but add me maybe?

Hey all you 20 somethings! It's great to see some people around my age! I'm 20 years old and I'd love some more motivational MFP friends to keep me dedicated to staying healthy this summer. Last summer I managed to lose almost 30 pounds and by some miracle I kept most of it off this past year of college, but not without a…

Sophomore college student! I love offering advice and motivation as well as receiving it! It's tough to stay in shape in college - especially with late night ben&jerry runs and eating out with friends sometimes!

9. Lovely eyes!

8! Very very pretty! Good luck with your mfp journey! :)

I've just started defeating that "I hate running/ I'm the slowest runner EVER" attitude and I'm training for my first 5K in July! I'd love to act as a motivator and receive some support as well! :)

Thanks! I'd give you a 9.5! Congrats on your weightloss! That's a huge number and something to be extremely proud of! You're gorgeous.

8.5, you're really pretty!

I'll be your friend! :)))) Oh wait, I already am!

You just need the Jillian Micheals DVD that is available online or in stores such as Target and a pair of 5lb hand-weights or you can start with 3lb weights if you need too! I started right with 5lbers! Good luck if you take on this challenge!

Hey! I'd love to join the maintenance group if there is still room! Thanks so much!

Awww! This made my morning to hear! I really appreciate it and I'm glad I can be motivating at times! It's made a world of difference in my case, so I just want to pay some of it back! Thanks for your kind words everyone!

Thanks everyone! Your comments mean a lot to me! I agree with those who mentioned that maintenance is the hardest, I'm a little scared, but It's a new chapter now and I want to approach it with the utmost optimism that I can muster up! I won't leave MFP for sure, because I think it can be just as useful as a tool after one…

Welcome Danielle! I'll be 20 next month, but I also find it difficult to stay in shape and be at college full-time, especially surrounded by roommates with different eating habits and the tremendous amounts of stress that I deal with my work load! Feel free to add me as support, I love having friends that I can identify…

Hey girl! I friend requested you, but I know first hand how important having a support system is and how difficult it is sticking with a healthy lifestyle in college! I'm also 19 years old and a sophomore in college and I'm totally here to help keep you motivated and in this lifestyle for the long hall!

OMG! I had this once before. It was the most pain I have ever been in my life! The only relief for me came after a while of keeping it elevated and not moving on it. Taking advil helped a bit too! Sorry to hear you're going through the pain! Hope you feel better soon! Give it a bit more time and take it easy!

I'll be 20 years old in December, I'm a college sophomore majoring in English with a Spanish minor. Having MFP friends is seriously what keeps me going on this site, so take advantage of that feature. People can be so motivating and encouraging. That being said, feel free to add me because I love having friends that are…

Me me! Friend me! Haha! I'll friend you, but anyone else that sees this feel free to friend me. I'm a 19 (20 in 2mo.) year old college sophomore!

That is AMAZING!!!! Congratulations! As a twin myself, I know exactly what it feels like to be heavier than your twin. I am now about 10-15lbs above her weight, but I can fit into her clothes now and more and more people confuse us these days even though we're fraternal! Congrats on your success!
