Hey,
I'm Ash I'm 17 and will be starting my last year of high school in 2 weeks. I'm currently very unhapy with my life in general and I KNOW i need to do something about it. Actually I've known for a few years but I can never be motivated enough to do it. I'm very lazy I guess . I weigh a fair bit I guess 100 kgs which works to be 200pounds I think though I am 6 foot so I only need to lose around 30 kgs maybe even 25kgs but I think it would make a huge difference to how I look at life. I live with my dad and step mum 2 brothers and because of this I find it very hard to address my weight issue because they always have something to say about it. Because of this I can't diet because the food I eat would have to change which means it would change what they eat and they wouldm't go for that. If I excercise they have something to say and I hate the attention so I can never bring myself to do it. I'm so lost but I REALLY want to lose weight so I came here in search of some help so please HELP me!!

welcome...you find the right spot...
I orginally from Northern England now in the USA.. I have Relatives that live in Asutralia...i would love to visit one day.. but im not sure i could handle the long plane ride
I have decided to lose weight starting from tomorrow with the Scarsdale diet if anyone fancy’s trying this out with me? I would like to find a buddy or as many people as I can find to try this out so we can all give each other support. As I think when you start a diet you need motivation on a daily basis
My name is Lizzie I am 19 years old and 15 stone 1 pound which is …… well 14 pounds to a stone so I guess that makes me … 211 pounds
The reason why I want to lose weight ….
Over the last year I have put on a lot of weight and my whole family have noticed which gets me down. I find it hard to lose weight because I love my food. Which I guess everyone does.
I want to prove to myself I can do this. But I guess it’s not just for myself I want people to think wow she has lost so much weight and looks amazing for it, because at the moment everyone thinks that I can’t do it.
So if you have decided to want to give it ago with me and loose 20 pounds in 2weeks then LETS DO IT YEY!!!
If you need to know anything about this diet I will be more than happy to help as I have gone through the whole book.
