Hey i've never seen this thread on here, so i thought it was high time i said hello. I'm 18 and going to university in September. I would like to be at my goal weight, or close to it by then. I have used this website on an off in my dieting. Usually when i stop coming online is when i start gaining the weight again.

So i'm back, and would like to say that I think it would be awesome to have some other teens to chat with about weightloss. All my friends are thin (effortlessly too, i may add) so they don't really understand what it's like. As well i haven't ever told them that I'm trying to change my eating habits and loose weight.

So I just joined and was referred to this thread. Thought I might post a bit about me. c:
My name's Ariel, I'm sixteen years old and will be a Junior next year. I've always been pretty overweight for my age--I can't ever remember a time where I wasn't, but I do remember the times when I was completely oblivious to it.
A little over a year ago, when I weighed myself in at 165, I decided that enough was enough, and that's when I started making some serious changes in my lifestyle. They worked for about half a year, and I lost about 25 pounds before hitting a plateau. Up until now, I've been constantly hovering between 140 and 145.
About a week ago, I regained my motivation, and since Sunday, I've gone from 141 to 138. My goal weight is anywhere from 115 to 125--I've been taking karate for a little over three and a half years, so I have some muscle weight that must be accounted for. ^^;
Anyway, it'll be great talking to you guys. =D

I won't be a teenager for much longer LOL....turning 20 in August....but I figured I'd say hi anyways!

I just wanted to say to you guys that it's great we're focusing on a healthy lifestyle now, because trust me (and I'm sure you know this by looking at the adults in your lives), losing weight does NOT get any easier as you age! It's important that we start living healthy now, before our metabolism slows down and it seems utterly impossible to lose those pounds.

hey everyone
haven't been in for a while.
i hope ya'll are doing well.
welcome to everyone who is new

im pretty much still sitting around 157, though i haven't been able to weigh myself for a couple of days because my scale is gone (sister is house sitting and took the scale with her).

im hoping that when she gets back, ill be happy with the number on the scale.

how is everyone else doing?

Yay! I'm back! *trumpets sound*

Hello mandi<3, Gryph, Kitegirl24, and 100PercentME (and whoever else is lurking out there)!!!

Well, I sure had a nice break from school but, unfortunately, it translated into a break from dieting as well. Everything's cool in my life right now, but I need more motivation if I want to continue losing weight... Feeling a bit sad now, actually.

And, 100PercentME: I like your Yoda signature, but it depresses the heck out of me lol. :P

Finally, where is everyone? I'd think there were more people interested in this thread. O_o

Alrighty, have a good time with whatever you're doing people! What IS everyone doing, btw? I'm finishing up my summer reading for school. FUN, I tell you. Such GREAT GREAT *FUN*.

Keep this thread alive, you hear me! XD

Love you all!!! <3 <3 <3

whoa this thread hasn't even moved much since the ending of last school year! I've lost a total now of 25pounds! Since I have been seeing my nutritionist this spring. And am now down to a size 22 from a size 24 and am below the 300pound mark...I don't even know how I really got up there. So hows everyone else doing?

Yeah, this thread is getting nowhere. I mean, there's my post from 2 weeks ago! :P

I'm at a stable weight of 147 right ow, only 2 more pounds to go!!!

145 isn't my goal weight - I just thought it's be easier to go a short distance, then change my weight tracker again. I'm kinda average/petite so I have about ten more pounds to go.

Well, this forum really needs some POSTING! That's how encouragement works, people, and I believe we all can use a little of that.

Hugs to everyone!

lol yeah this thread moves pretty slow
we should start posting more, eh?

im around 154 right now, which is good, but i really want to get below 150 during december, which will be really hard with all teh christmas candy floating around.

how is everyone doing?

double post, i know.
its a *bump* plus an update.
so as of this morning my weight was 153.6
i really really want to see a 4 in place of that 5.
plus, i still have that pair of pants.
the pair that i wore on my first day of school my freshman year. i can almost fit into them. like, at my highest weight, i couldn't even button them. and now i can button them easily, i just have too much fat sticking up over the sides.
My goal is that those pants will be too big by my first day of my freshman year of college.
4 years of gaining and losing weight. its a lot, i know.
but i think it i can get to 140 (which is atm feeling really achievable) than those pants will be loose.
im still wearing a size 12 pant (my freshman pants are 10) but id ultimately like to be an 8. oddly enough i don't want to be smaller than that (cuz i have curves and i like them and want to keep them).
so yeah, that's what's up with me.
how are ya'll?

I just found this thread after browsing, and I know I'm kind of bumping an old thread maybe , but I just thought I'd add another to the teen bit =]

I'm Emma, I'm 17 and I live in the UK ... currently doing WW and have a long way to go!

hi girls, long time no see.
we should really try and get this thread moving, i wonder how many teens are still active on here.

oh my gosh, i had to get on and tell you girls, im now down to 141!!!
i can't believe it. my freshman year pants finally fit, but im really insecure about wearing them because im still afraid that they are too small. im going to try and lose a little more weight, but i plan on wearing those pants on the last day of school. i figured it would be very symbolic and all that jazz.

im really afraid of regaining the weight, and so the fact that i've lost it all is making me really nervous, but i've kept it off so far, so im just trying to be confident in my accomplishments.

i graduate from high school May 21st, and i'd really like to have a 3 in the tens place when i get that diploma. A 3...i haven't weighed that since...i think since 8th grade. and then ultimatly, by the time i start college in the fall id like to be 130, so that would only be another 9 pounds if i reach my May goal.

i hope you girls are all doing well. I'll try and post more often, maybe we can get this thread to be a little more active.

so how is everyone else?

so i jumped back up to 143, but that's expected.
you know how people yoyo diet; they lose weight and then gain it back plus some. im the opposite. i gain weight, then lose it plus some. then gain part of it, and lose it plus some. on and on and on. and that's been the way i've lost this weight.

im really really eager to get a 3 in the tens place. wow, i remember being eager for a 5, and then for a 4. i can't believe im down to working for a 3. but ya, im eager to lose these 3 pounds and be in the land of 130's. i think i want to hit about 130 pounds and then maintain that. i dont want to get any thinner than that. i have very jutty bones and i would look gross if i was skinny.
so hopefully the next time i post i will be enthusiastic about a 139 or lower. that would be awesome.
talk to you girls later

Ello.
My mom and I share this account, and she was on here and saw that this post and suggested I check it out....My name is Breawna and Im fifteen years old (sixteen on May twenty-sixth). I'm currently a sophmore and praying to be around 200lbs by the beginning of my junior year. The first day my mom and I joined I weighed 257.0 I weighed myself the other morning and it was 253.5 I don't really know why it was a dramatic loss since I didnt really do anything, but the excersizing she and I did worked. The main reason I am here is because I can't take the weight anymore! I like being fat (as weird as that may sound) but I'm TO fat. I want to be able to ride my skateboard without feeling like I'm going to break it, so I'm hopeing that losing fifty or so pounds will help.
-Breawna(:

Hope you do it.
I tried dieting every summer in highschool but it never worked.
Now I'm done with my senior year but luckily I have been dieting since March and I'm losing those pounds, hoping i'd look good by my graduation walk. So do it now before its too late.
Good luck teens

hey breawna! glad you found us! ya losing weight in high school is pretty tough. i've been trying to for the past 3 years (since im currently a senior) and am just now being successful. i encourage you to stick with it and lose the weight, because you'll regret not doing it. High school can be very different when you are confident about how you look, and when you feel good physically and mentally.

as for me, im doing pretty well. I haven't lost anymore pounds but i think im still getting thinner because my clothes are fitting looser and looser.
For the past three years i have worn size 12 pants. Two weeks ago i bought two pairs that were 10 and now they are loose. I went and tried the exact same pair of pants in an 8 and i could get into them (not comfortably tho).
im totally bewildered. 8 has always been the pant size that i want to be, and now im sooo close.
i really want to be there by august.

my goals:

may 21: 139 or below
august 1: 130
