Hi everyone! I'm 18 and new to this website. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but wanted to find some support outside of the usual... family, friends, etc. I have lost 20 lbs and reached a low of 115, but have now entered the yo-yo cyle—gain ten, lose ten, and so on and so on. As a dancer, being at the higher point (where I am now) is definitely not acceptable (especially when everyone else under 100, ew). I know I will find what I'm looking for with all the sucess stories I've read!

Welcome to the boards Tyger! It must be really challenging to have that added pressure of being a dancer and having to think about your weight. But you've come to the right place to get lots of support.

Best of luck to you!

Welcome! Wow-a dancer! I wish you much success!

Hey! Welcome : )
I'm Virginia, 19, living in Oregon.
Back at home I did belly-dancing for 7 years, and worked as a hired dancer for 2. I know how hard is to think about how you have to look when you are on stage, and how your teammates look!
But good luck on your quest, feel free to PM me if you wanna talk!

Welcome to the boards! I was a gymnast for fourteen years, right on through college, so I understand the pressures surrounding weight. Make sure you have healthy goals.
