a club for people 21 and under who are overweight.

I haven't actually read all of the posts, but I wanted to know if I can join in. I'm 21, (well, I will be for a few more months) and I've been obese for most of my life.

I'm 5'3, and 227 pounds, and looking to get to 150. I know that 150 will still be big for someone of my height, but I really don't want to be "thin". Does anyone else feel this way or am I alone in it?
 
hey jely anne
i'm pretty much exactly the same as you. i'm 5'2 and 222lbs and want to get to 150 ideally - thats what i used to be before i piled on the pounds lol and i looked fine - bit of a podge that needed toning but looked in proportion. i think it depends how you're built though although i would say 150 is a good goal. Were in competition! The race is on! lol :D
 
Summer: Thank you for the encouragement. I insist that I have a larger frame than most people, my shoulders are wide, my wrists are thicker, and I've just got a larger stature. The reccomended 115-141 for my height sounds just...off to me. I don't want to be 115. No way, no how.

I just want to be able to shop in normal stores. I don't care if I'm still a "Large", but I never want to be a "small". It's just my mindset I guess. Kind of weird to some people...
 
well 150 isnt really that far off from 141 (the highest they reccomend) so go for it! i'm sure 150 will suit you just perfect if you have a larger frame. it's not weird that ya just want to shop in normal stores and be a "small" it's how you feel comfy. i look at the girls that are like size 6/8 (here in uk) and some of them look really really bad, just bones and skin, nothing to em! Where as us, with a little bit more meat, give great hugs cuz were so damn comfy! lolololol But keep it up jelly anne, we can do it! hehe
 
:)

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if others can still join but I'mma go ahead and try anyways :) My names Kelsey and I'm 18 and from Illinois. I'm from a small city that has nothing to do besides hang out at walmart lol. We're surrounded by cornfields and hicks, so much fun. I started gaining weight when i was 13 after I started rebelling and getting in trouble. Starting birth control made a huuuuge differnce in my weight too. I gained 50 lbs off of it and it wasnt like I was over eating or not being active. After I gained all of that weight it started making me depressed, so I didnt want to do anything or be around my friends. I ended up dropping out of school because I felt like I didnt belong and I hated going to school with the mean snobs there.So basically I was staying home watching my 10 brothers and sisters 24/7 and had nothing to do but eat and watch tv. So healthy right? But anways, now here I am at 205 lbs and not healthy. I want to get down to 120-135 lbs again. I live with my skinnnny ass boyfriend lol, but he helps me stay on track. I'll take a few photos some time this week so I'll have before and after pics, but till then ill post a few of the ones I do have. :)
 
Hey Kelynn, i'm new here too and i wish you the very best! You can do it, im sure of it!
I've recently weighed in after a i fell off the wagon and i've gained 2lbs from my little freefall there. But thats in the past and im moving on. I worked out today for an hour, ran on the treadmill then played some basketball with friends. I must say i feel pretty damn good about myself!Those 2lbs will be history in no time!
 
Aww thats great Aries :) Glad youve got a positive outlook on it. This week after my boyfriend gets paid I'm going to look into gyms because I need that kind of motivation. Lol I guess I'm competitive, someone does 20 situps and ill do 50. Looking forward to getting to know everyone :D
 
I'm not really new... but I definitely need to get back on track again.

Yeah. In case you haven't seen me around... I'm 14. I have been doing absolutely horrible in the past two months as far as weight loss... But I am trying to get back on it again. I think I actually gained three or four pounds since I've been active here.

Yep. So I'd like to join up here, if you guys don't mind.
 
Hey! Ofcourse we don't mind - start yourself a journal and track your progression.. what are your goals? I can help you get back on track - we're all here for support.
 
Thanks for the kind words, elizab3th! My goal is to lose 9 pounds by early to mid June and possibly lose 15 pounds by August. Hope I can do it... :)
 
rule number 1 of 15.. never mention mcdonalds in a weight loss forum.. mc donalds sometimes has good food well tasting that is.. but most of the time it tastes horrible, lol
 
Haha, love it Dmwrss! One thing you want to know before you eat at MacDonalds...WATCH SUPERSIZE ME! Disgustingly scary! Hehe!
 
So I'm a little late in the game....hopefully it's still cool to post. Well I'm 19 years old, 5'3, and 160 lbs. I started at 180, dropped to 140, then regained 20 lbs. Needless to say that pissed me off. Anyway, my goal as of right now is 10 lbs in a month, but my ultimate goal is to be between 115-120 lbs. I don't really have a weight-loss plan at the moment, I just sort of shift between slim fast and eating fewer calories (slim fast "food" kind of kills you on the inside, know what I mean?).
 

ditch the slim fast if you're not going to stick to it. I found that it more of ruined my diet than helped it. Of course you can post here - but you've got to promise me one thing first - you have to really put effort into this - I know you can lose that weight, I'm about the same size too! Going for the same thing - 120 to 115... I love it here because whenever I have a craving there's always someone here with support! I am always running to my computer to stay away from the fridge! Haha.. but it's worked for me so it can work for you! Start yourself a journal m'dear.. then you can log what you're eating and we can post on how you're doing,etc. Everyone's got one so check them out - it's really motivation to see other's progress. You'll do great - Cheers!
 
I promise, I will lose this weight. I'm ready to be a single digit size! Wow, I haven't been in the single digits for....way too long. You're probably right on the slim fast, I lost the 40 with that, but it was just too much for me. It got to the point where I would rather not eat anything ever again than eat another one of those disgusting bars or down another one of those "shakes." And you're right, I love seeing everyone's progress on here because it just pumps you to start moving, start picking up an apple instead of picking up a big mac. I bet we can both get down to 115. AH that would be amazing.
 
I'm with ya girl - that would be wicked.. you have no iodea how happy I would be if I could get myself down to 115... I could be me again!! Rock on Girls!
