Hi everyone, newbie here!

Hi everyone, i am 14 years old, 5'1 and weigh 119 pounds. When i was younger i was very active (soccer, swimming, b-ball) which resulted in me being pretty skinny. I injured my knee and i had to stop all the sports. Well, 3 years and some physical therapy later, my knee is much better but i am too lazy to get back into the sports.

For the past couple of months (3 maybe) i have been going to the YMCA and working out on the treadmill for about an hour 3-5 days a week. And last night i was instructed on how to do some of the weights.

My goal is to get down to 110 (the ideal weight for someone my height is 99 – 128)

Well that is all for now!

Welcome.

119lb doesnt sound like a lot at all to me...! But maybe it is for your age. Anyway good luck :) I only joined recently but I'm already hooked on this place, everybody is great at giving advice and encouragement.
 
Thanks Sprite!

Yes 119 isn’t a lot for most people (i have been looking around the forums and i feel kind of stupid because I only need to lose like 10 pounds) but it is for my height, 5'1 (i have a pretty small frame, I am not very stocky)

Don't feel stupid - every pound can be a challenge and 10lb is not a small ammount to loose, especially if you are light already.
 
You are right; I have been trying to lose this 10 pounds for about a year now. Its such a pain, its usually doesn’t go any higher (which I am very thankful for) but it wont go any lower either.

The thing I am worried about is Halloween, thanksgiving, and Christmas. I think that’s where the 10 pounds came from.

For Halloween we have this thing at our church and I help with the candy. So i can have as many bags as i want if there are any left over (which there always are, tons). I think I can make myself only have one, but there is still ALOT of stuff in that one bag. At least over 3,000 cals.

For Thanksgiving and Christmas we have about 3 dinners for each like 3 days in a row(both my grandparents and my aunt) it is so hard to control my self.

I think that’s where the 10 pounds came from
