Hey everyone! Guess what? I just turned 21! Yay and yes I did get very drunk and I still weigh 219 pounds and I have basically been fat my entire life and because I am also extremely shy I never had a boyfriend. I never had a boyfriend and I am 21 years old and it makes me wander if I never had a boyfriend how in the heck would I ever get a husband I know I will never be comfortable enough with myself to meet a man till I lose weight and feel good in my own body. I hope I can find couple of buddies on this site that I can talk to who will hold me accountable to this goal of losing weight and likewise I would do the same for you. I can't do this myself I have tried and the results are always failing and at the moment I am on a 6 week plan and I hope I can find a buddy who I can share this plan with. Most importantly through this journey I really want to find a partner who I can talk with when I mess up and all I need are words of encouragement to get me back on track and I don't expect anyone to be perfect so if you guys ever fall I would be more then happy to glue you back together. Thanks for reading my post and GOOD LUCK to everyone!

Hi Cherrios, welcome to 3FC!

I think the 20-somethings might be the perfect place for you. Happy late birthday, btw!

Welcome and good luck !

Hello, cheerios, and welcome! I agree that the 20-somethings forum would be a great place for you and I think that you'll find that not having a man in your life is not nearly as rare a condition as you might think.

Good for you for choosing NOW to change your habits and get healthy. You are young and you'll be spending many, many years as a slim, healthy woman because you have the wisdom to start early.

Happy Belated Birthday!! If you are committed to losing weight and you want to do it for YOU, not a man, you WILL do it!! Feel free to email me ane we can talk!
I committed myself to losing weight and getting healthy and I DID IT!! I'm finding it very easy to stick to my new lifestyle so if you want I can share my experiences with you and maybe it will work for you too!

It looks like you and I are about the same starting weight. I've lost the weight before, and I assure you, it can be done....

Now, I'm past the 21 mark... I'm 27. But I've been there! and not too long ago either I am married and raising my first child. I SWEAR my husband stumbled into my life the DAY I vowed to only worry about me. Men will come later. Forget about them and just focus on you.

If you would like to PM me, I'm more than willing to lend an open ear. Like I said, I've been there before, my early 20's were pretty rough... and maybe you need someone just a *little* older, to remind you that you will come out okay on the other side.

I remember turning 21 like it was yesterday...now Im 25. I applaud you for starting your weight loss journey now. I sometimes wish I hadn't waited so long. If you ever need encouragement or support I would be more than happy to help!
