Hello Everyone!

My name's Claire and I am currently 20 years old and around 225 lbs. I have been on this site many times before and have been as low as 210 lbs from the motivation of other girls on this site. I am getting back into it! I have already been dieting and exercising for the past week now, and I feel that because I was such an exercise, diet buff last year, it is easier for my body to catch up!

I turn 21 on February 21st, and I thought that a great personal challenge for me would be to lose 21 lbs by my 21st birthday! I am giving myself almost 4 months to achieve this goal! So i think it is completely duable.


If anyone else would like to set a goal for their birthday and post updates, that would help keep me motivated and strong on my own journey =]

good for you for starting early.

We're similar in height & age(& even when our birthday is)...I'll be 22 on Jan 30th.

Good luck with your goal. It DOES seem doable, & if you ever need somebody to talk to...well, the shoe fits pretty well here.

I think that is a great goal! Good Luck to you!

Hi! My birthday was just last month so I don't really want to set a goal to lose weight by my birthday but I want to set a goal to lose some weight!

So my goal is to losr 15lbs by christmas!!! I just turned 22 last month and I am tired of the weight and shape that I am currently in! I am hope this site will be motivation so that pounds keep coming off! My goal is someday reach 170 and maintain it!!!

Welcome back! I think that is an excellent goal, all the 21s. Very best of luck to you. I look forward to seeing you around.

You will easily achieve that goal, maybe more! Just stick with your plans to eat less and it will drop off. Good luck and welcome back!

Welcome back! and i remember you.
I think thats a great goal, and very doable.
You can do it!

Just an update =]
