Introducing................. ME !
 

Hi all!

My name is Harriet, a girl who is 13 n turning 14 in sept! I may be young but i have came here for help on losing weight and hopefully it wont disapoint! :hug:
i am 5ft 1 and i weigh 132 pounds wich acording to my bmi i am at risk of becoming overweight :( . wen i turn 15 it is most likely that what i weigh then is going to be what i will wiegh for the rest of my life and it will be loads harder to lose it then than it is going to lose now. and i am quite a big girl compared to all my other mates as you would be able to tell so i want to get down to 119 pounds just less than a stone to lose! i have already lost a bit since at my heaviest i was 144 pounds :o but right now im finding it harder so i joined here! :D

so am throwing away all the chocolate and chips! and coming to join you guys so i can get healthier and get my bmi to normal and healthy! lol

thank you xxx

Hi Harriet, Welcome. I think its great that you want to start living healthier. I think its important to make healthy lifestyle changes that you can continue as you get older. Just remember not to go on a "diet" that may ruin your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight later in life. Your still young and growing, so starting to make some healthier food choices and getting a little exercise should be all you need to help you get and stay healthier. good luck to you. I hope you fin this site helpfull.

Hi Puncezilla thanks for the tip. yeah i dont see it as too much of a diet its actually a lifestyle which if im strong will be able to keep eaten the fruit and veggies all life! :D lol thank you xxx

Welcome and congratulations on starting a healthy lifestyle. You are wise to start while you are young. You sound very mature for your age.

Welcome, Harriet! It sounds like you have the right idea by getting rid of the junk in your diet! Keep up the great work and you'll be well on your way to a healthy rest of your life!

Welcome.......I wish I had a place like 3FC to come to when I was your age. I know I wouldn't had been in the situation I am in now. Listen to all of the wise people here and I wish you a very healthy lifestyle!!

oh wow... harriet nice meeting u. but u shouldnt think when u turn 15 ur gonna stay on that weight forever. that's very faulty. but anyways we're on the same boat kind of except for age.. i'm 23 but i'm also 5'1, my heaviest was 143... now 130.. and i also find it harder to lose now! Since ur still growing, don't go on a hardcore diet, i think u can have a cheat meal maybe one day in a week, so don't try to resist cravings but to just eat a little bit of it or portion it. :)

hi thanks for all the encoraging compliments lol :D i no i will love it here! :hug:
