All of my friends just want to drink and party and it's no fun going to parties and not drinking but if you don't go you end up being kind of a hermit - this is one of my biggest struggles when trying to lose weight and be healthy!

Comment by LadyBOT on August 5, 2009 at 2:08pm: Seems like all my friends are interested in doing is pigging out and getting drunk. These are fun things, but not when you are trying to be healthy! Wish I had a work out / motivation buddy. ARG

Comment by Malia Bishop on January 27, 2009 at 10:12pm: Yay! I'm so glad there is a group for us 20-somethings! I just got my first real job and am learning its time now to get the weight off!! I'm 22 almost 23 there's no way I can have my weight off by my birthday but it will be gone by next year!! Good luck everyone

Comment by Carla G. on January 4, 2009 at 11:17pm: Hi all! I'm in as well and volunteer to be the "poster child" for this group. I'm 24, single, grad student, and full of great excuses to sabotage my own weight loss. I've been going through a horrible "weight gain" phase, and am putting a stop to it.
AP you are going to love the meetings (if you don't ...go to another one!) - I'm going back to WW as soon as I get back home from vacation in a week. Meanwhile, BTL might be my meeting.
Anyone else finding that their "naughty" side is sabotaging the fabulousness and weight loss?

Comment by Becca on December 2, 2008 at 3:13pm: Hi fellow 20-somethings! I've been stalking BLT for a few weeks and just joined. We all have busy lives but I hope we can all support each other!

Comment by Amy on November 20, 2008 at 9:53pm: Hi guys! I'm sorta new on BTL and I'm joining WW mtgs tomorrow! I'm really excited and love that this blog community has been a great support for everyone. I'm 24, definitely feeling the quarter life crisis, so I thought this would be a great group to find others I can relate to :)

Comment by Jill on November 2, 2008 at 3:19pm: I have been wanting to try rock climbing... but since I already have a gym membership and am a student, it is way too expensive! That's kinda funny that a gym is like a social club... I go to Gold's and it is the opposite. I don't even bother with make-up pre-workout because it will just sweat off anyways.
Susan... I LOVE aquafit classes, but I found it was all 80+ year old ladies there and I felt kinda out of place.

Comment by LadyBOT on November 1, 2008 at 5:58pm: (by "club" i meant nightclub, it's like a social event. yuck. i dont want to be sweaty and trying to look my best or get hit on in the middle of my lunges, ya know?)

Comment by LadyBOT on November 1, 2008 at 5:58pm: I personally HATE going to 24 hour fitness. .it's like a freakin club or something. I have been getting into running lately and I really like it. I go to the local park and do laps. I really wish I had a couple friends who were into running also. I am looking for running partners. Around my town, the younger fun active thing to do is go rock climbing, there are a few gyms in the area that offer it. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds like a lot of fun!

Comment by Susan on November 1, 2008 at 3:22pm: I run on my treadmill, walk my dog, go to curves, and participate in Aqua Fitness classes. I am currently in the process of becoming an Aqua Fitness Leader. However, an ankle injury (sprain) has put that on hold for a little while until it is fully healed.
