a club for people 21 and under who are overweight.

Im New

Hey Guys, My name is Beth and I am new on this site and when I was trying to figure out how this site works I passed this Thread and thought it was really neat for everyone to be so supportive like this...Well anyways, I am 5'10 and I currently weigh 210.5lbs and I have lost 35lbs since May 29, 2006. I plan to lose 18 More before school starts on Aug. 8th.....I have not had a busy summer because I just moved to this area where I have once lived before and am now returning...All I do is go to work and then the running trail or the Gym...I have been working so so so hard to lose as much weight as as possible in the shortest time I can and have lost an average weight of about 6lbs a week. I just get really discouraged when the weight on the scale goes down but I do not feel like my body is changing as much as I would like it to as quickly. If anyone has similar statistics to me I would really like them to contact me and the people who do not have statistics close to me I would still like to have your support as well as give you the support I can offer....

Hey everyone. I joined months ago when I started my 1 millionth failed diet! It lasted all of 4 days and I gave up, I have very poor willpower! Just felt like I was starving myself! I think I have a bad attitude towards food, I actually want to be hungry so that I can enjoy my food, I can stuff myself silly but want myself to feel hungry again so that I can eat more, but other times I feel sick with myself for eating and feel like making myself sick to get it out (although I never have), and when i see the slightest bit of flab in the mirror I freak out and it makes me cry-think its due to looking at too many skinny celeb magazines.

Anyways I'm babbling on now, well I'm 15, weigh around 120lbs and am 5'5. It doesn't seem that much but it really depresses me. I Want to get to 105-110 preferably so don't have a huge amount to lose but find it so hard shifting it. I also want to tone up quite a bit and generally be more fitter. I find it hard running for more than a minute, completely wears me out. There I am rambling again, hope to stay for more than 4 days this time!

Hiya, im Jane

Im 15, and im not sure how much i weigh at the moment, am wating for new year, to see the damage of the holidays. But i want to lose 10lbs of my january 1st weight, in 4 weeks. Im about 185-190 i think at the moment.
 
I want to join too

Hello.. I was 170 pounds at the start of the new year, and now I'm at 168. My long term goal is to get to 120 pounds. But my current goal is to get to 155 by my birthday on March 23! I hope I get there. I hope I hope I hope >_<

Oh yeah, and I'm 21. I live in the far away country of the Philippines :)
I'm so glad I found this weight loss forum. And I'm so glad that there is a thread for young people who want to lose weight just like me.

My self esteem is so down.. it's at the bottom of the pit. The thing is, I just came back from china.. yeah, I studied there for one semester. And there.. I gained 20 pounds. And so everyone was shocked, when they saw me after I came back home.. And the thing is, they were all already saying how fat I was even before I went to China. And so... everyday, I hear fat comments directed at me. And I am so so depressed. I'm glad I found this forum, because I am at least encouraged. I'm just so depressed right now.

so starting new year's I've started to exercise and eat right. It does not help that in the fridge, there are 6 tubs of ice cream (yeah, my mom went crazy when buying stuff for our new year's eve dinner) 2 cakes, 1 box of chocolate crinkles, 1 pie, and 3 boxes of sweets. Oh yeah, and of course I cannot forget the pack of chocolate bars (6 in all) in the fridge. And I am supposed to lose weight?! I know this depends on my willpower. But can't they make it just a little bit easier?! and they may think that they're just "joking" when they make fat jokes, but i still get hurt.. sigh.. thank you.. i just needed to vent. oh my gosh, and to add to all that! My dear dear sister just brought home donuts. yay! :mad:

okay, okay, I'm done! We can all do this.. we can do this!!
 
Hiya folks! My name is Kelly. I'm 18 (soon to be 19), 5'6, and somewhere between 175-170 lbs. (I'm not really sure because when I came home for the holidays I didn't realise my parents don't own a scale! I'll find out for sure this weekend, though. :) )

I've never really been a skinny, though I've played sports my whole life. My downfall is my love of bread and anything related to dessert, and my natural love of being lazy. I played soccer in high school, which kept my weight in check for awhile but never really lowered it much. Then I started college in the fall and the lack of activity has begun to take its toll. I've gained about 10 lbs since then, and all of my clothes are beginning to get snug. I also hate that I'm completely out of shape and can't enjoy sports like I used to.

My goals are to finally get that bikini bod I've always dreamed of, get back into shape, and enjoy my life without obsessing over what I look like in my clothes.

Now if I can just get over my fear of gyms....
 
-----Well I guess I'll hang out in this thread/club. I just joined this site and have been using it as late-night inspiration to not eat--don't sleep too much. I suppose I'll write my weightloss story read if you enjoy long posts lol.
-----I pretty much always hated my weight as far back as 11+ i think--I've always been a very-to-extremely self-conscious/introspective person. Not seriously though until I was like 12 and 13 when I weighed at max the most I've ever weighed in my life--175lbs.
-----So at that point I really started trying to lose weight although I didn't really understand calorie intake and fats etc...just that food made you fat. Also I always had a serious soda addiction (not that serious but..) I would drink loads of soda--I thought that liquids didnt matter-- everyday and I remember eating a bag of family size salt and vinegar chips on many days. Eating out on fridays saturdays and sundays I would always overeat. Plus loads of foods like hot pockets and pizza rolls and assorted junk foods.
-----ANYWAY...I kept soda and dropped a bunch of foods and stopped my weight gain.
-----Then at 14 I started going like a day or 2 only drinking soda and I got down to 145-150lbs. Keep in mind I was also growing. This was good for a while but I felt like crap and had lots of ups and downs and I'm sure people can understand how terrible you feel after you overeat.
------At 15 I was probably around 130-140 still growing getting taller and I didn't dislike myself as much as I used to and wasn't as depressed and all that.
But I feel I may have screwed myself and caused muscle loss at this point because I used to just lie around alot to not induce hunger during my fasts and my metabolism probably slowed down alot etc...
------At PRESENT I am 15--3 months until 16--and have been at 120 for like 2 months. I dont know why but I finally got into actually researching calories and all that info like 3-months ago.
------Over the holidays, by relatives that haven't seen me in like a year, I had to deal with anorexic jokes and comments and even being pulled aside by family members and given serious talks about my weight. Still though, I'm not at my goal. My abstract goal is to be able to eat a bag of chips or something and not have to worry if I've gained that much weight. So right now I'm working towards -115.

------I'm a 15yr old male, am 5 foot 9, and weigh 120lbs. This whole post was a little rushed I guess and a little disoriented--in a weird mood and its early in the morning w/o sleep. Good Luck to everyone.
------@LA=LH and KasumiNeko ^_^ I might be a contender for the youngest now. Also cool to see another anime fan. Good Luck. I just wrote this little edit/addon after reading the previous page.

I've been meaning to catch up on this thread.

I'm Jane from England, and I'm 19.

I started at 189lb and I'm now at 177. My overall goal is 140, but my mini-goal at the moment is to reach 168lb, which I would like to do by my birthday which is about 5 weeks away. :)
 
hello brand new, I weigh 220, I lift alot with my job, and jog a mile or walk to equall 30 min, I have cut back on my favorite thing FOOD. Cut down on portions and carbs. trying to lose 35 pounds by may.
 
18 but soon to be 19

Hi all I'm Jenny. I will be 19 here on January 31st. I am 5'2" and I unfortunately weigh in at 194. I'm ready to kick my weight in the you know what. :)
 
hi, i'm just turned 20 and i weight 144 pounds and i'm 5'2. I've got a small bone structure and a tendency to gain weight in my face and stomach so i look heavier than i am. When i lose weight it comes of my hands, lower arms and around my collar bones really quickly so i want to lose quite a lot so that i balance out better, because sometimes wehn people see how thin my arms are they think i've lost too much weight, but my legs and stomach and face are always still too heavy.

I'm going on holiday with friends in the summer and my aim is to be thin for that. My friend is 5'3 and she weighs 141 pounds but she looks a lot thinner than me, she has a flat stomach nice legs and slim arms and face, but i know i'll have to be a lot thinner to acheive that because i'm built smaller than her.
 
Made it. From 120 to 113.5. If anyone wants to know my diet plan its this.
2-4 cups of corn flakes and frosted flakes(for taste), but keep the ratio of corn flakes to frosted flakes very far to the corn flake side. Eat them one flake at a time (to not finish to fast leaving you wanting more) w/o milk. I also did 260-340 pushups a day (mostly from 6-11pm). On the weekend I also had a chicken parmesan sandwhich (pretty big) but it wasnt that much of a detriment i just did 5-10 minutes of jumping jacks to counterbalance. And in the past 3 days I even got to eat my favorite food, kettle-cooked Salt & Vinegar chips (1$ Bag), 16oz hot chocolate, and 2-3 starbucks doubleshot espresso with cream (I also had a load of these during the last week because of mid-terms). Well, c yah and good luck fellow 21 and youngers.:)
 
I think i'm the only guy here so i'll start:

-I'm 18.
-I'm a Junior in High School
-I currently weight around 170-178. It changes during the day for some reason.
-I weight around 197 over the summer and then I decided to drop drinking soda and eating pizza. I use to work at Pizza Hut so I was spoiled with all the free pizza I could get and unlimited refills from the fountian drinks. I quit Pizza Hut last October and i'm looking for a job at Blockbuster or Subway
-I hope to drop down to 155-160 by Summer and I hope to gain my muscle. I want to be fit and muscluar for my last year of high school
-My waist size is around 34-36 inches(I have to wear a belt when I wear 36 so I might be in between).
-I eat alot of veggies and fruit(I had like 3 oranges today and I eat a TON of pineapple and apples daily
-People say i'm not fat(except for my Brother who is bigger and my sister who is annoying like that) but I still hate the extra baggage around my hips and thighs.

So yea, basically, i'm trying to loose about 15 pounds by June and work out all summer to build my physic.:eek:
