We always mention a weekly challenge, but never decide on anything... And there are times when NO ONE posts in here for days.
So.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE ANYONE?
I'm thinking weekly weigh-ins to see who loses the most this summer, or something.
Ideas? (someone please respond. hahaha)

Sorry for such a long post in advance!
Hi! I'm Lindsey...as if you couldn't tell by my username...and I'm seventeen, soon to be 18 in almost a month. I'm currently at 324, and so far I've lost 26 pounds. I want to lose 24 more before I go off to college and then 50 by next December (which would be a 100 pound weight loss!) which would bring me down to 250...I've done this by cutting porportions, adding fruit and veggies to my diet, cutting out as many sweets and fried foods as possible, and exercising almost everyday by riding atleast 10 miles my exercise bike a day or playing DDR for an hour and swimming in our pool...I have a lot of trouble though, because I'm often bored by my workouts or totally uninspired. I'm thinking about taking walks in my neighborhood and taking up pilates to see if it helps my results any.
I also have trouble with my eating habits...I'm alot better about eating than I used to be; I've given up sodas (even diet sodas) entirely and only drink juice and milk, and I keep my eating sweets down to a bare minium, only having them when I really crave them. My biggest problem with eating is, is that my mom still gives me huge portions (like two turkey burgers instead of one, huge handfuls of fries) and she has a tendency to make fried foods or bring home fast food or take us to fast food places on the weekends...does anybody else have this problem? I want to tell her to stop it or find a way to just not eat these foods at all.
My AIM screenname is lindseybot3k if anyone wants to talk to me.

Welcome to the forum! You are doing super already it sounds!
Tell your mom straight out that you want to lose weight, because she'll notice eventually, for sure. haha. Create a list of the healthy foods you can eat at fast food resteraunts, and make sure to check the calories of those items before hand. Like that taco salad at wendys has way more calories than it needs to. haha. Get the fruit cups, or salads. No mayo if you have to get a hamburger. Use only half the dressing, and as for a low fat one.
Now i'm just rambling. lol

hi aqua dragon--
if you are 5'3''--then the ideal weight for you is probably around 128. Don't focus on how tall you are going to be, but how tall you are now. You're hieght however shouldnt factor that much into what equitment you can or cannot use, but if you are ever in doubt, just go for a long walk/jog/run(depending on your ability)
your breakfast in more detail--like eggs should probably be egg whites, and non-fat milk, and low-fat cream cheese on wheat bread, that is however a lot of dairy, which is good for protein, but you should have some fruit too ( like half an apple or orange)
and for your lunch--your fish should be grilled not fried (fried can be very fatty) and your salad can be full of veggies (no one ever got fat by eating too many veggies, so load up on tomatos, lettuce, cucumbers, mushrooms, whatever you want) but keep in mind the dressing is what can trip you up, so make sure you go for a fat-free dressing (a vingrette or balsamic are good choices, or those spritzer dressings)
chicken is a good meat protein, grilling it is great
tae excercises are great for the whole body, but you mind want to build up some endurance first so you can really kick ass
i hope this is helpful--feel free to email me anytime, ihgirl6200@hotmail.com

That sounds good.
I am 16, 5'1" and so far went from 150 to 136.6. My goal is to be 130 by the end of summer which I am postitive can be done as long as I keep this up! I went away and didn't exercise or diet correctly and maintained my weight so as I am leaving for a wedding on Friday I am sure I can keep it up!

Hey,
So I don't think I've ever posted to this board. I'm Penny, 20yrs old, in college, engineering major. So I realized that I have about 6months until I turn 21, which at 8lbs a month makes a possible weightloss of 48lbs bringing me almost exactly to my ideal weight.
So I will keep your board alive by annoying you before I head off into the world of seniority.
As far as weekly weigh-ins, there might be better options. People who weigh less lose weight much less quickly and it might be discouraging, and also there are lots of weekly weigh-ins throughout the forum like the monthly 2lbs/wk challenge and a couple of others i'm involved in. Think we might try something else? For instance, who worked out the most? I don't know, what do you think?
I'll be involved either way. See you around.

Thanks, I had always heard that 8lbs/month was acceptable but it's just a goal anyways, not something I'd cry over. Don't worry about me though, I'm hardly crash dieting. I've just started getting really serious about my working out and I always lose weight around the time school starts.
Hmm I was always told 1kg a week was acceptable (2.2lbs).
HI!
I am new to the forum!
I am eighteen years old. I live in Tasmania, Australia!
I have had a bit of a rocky road with my weight. I was stick thin in high school, and now have gained A LOT of fat, and would like to get back down to my 17 year old weight!
I WAS 62kg. I am now down to 58.3kg! Woot. My aim is 54kg!
I would like to lose 0.5kg-1.0kg a week, but I aim for 1.0kg every week!
I work full time in an advertising agency, and have a boyfriend of 15 months! Fitting in everything (family friends exercise too) is hard!
I find getting up early in the morning helps though, and that makes me feel great for the rest of the day!
Something that has helped me in my weight loss is planning food. I pack lunch and snacks for my day at work, but I do have the occasional binge. Thats my biggest problem at the moment.
Its great to have a thread for young people!

mmkay. wow. It's been a while since I've been here. Just thought I might update/vent etc...
Well. Lets see. Yesterday at school they weighed us and stuff. I hadn't weighed myself in a few weeks so I wasn't sure what it would be. 158. That was a pleasant surprise. So I've lost at least 8 pounds over the last couple weeks or whatever. Very good. And I'm also 5'7". whee, same as before.
Well. I need to vent a little bit. I haven't been eating very much lately. I just haven't felt like it. I don't really think I'm getting enough calories or whatever. I just haven't felt like eating. I'm always hungry but I don't ever want to eat. I think, it might be because there's this guy. I feel like I need to impress him.. I think? I don't know. I guess I feel like if I'm skinny enough he'll like me more? I feel so fat lately. It's a long story really... I don't feel like going into it at the moment.
Like. Today. I ate. For breakfast, little 100 calorie pack thing. Lunch, a little bowl of macoroni. I haven't even eaten dinner. I don't really feel like it. I will because I know I should though.
I know this isn't healthy at all. But, like, I guess I don't care? I dunno. /:
No. I don't have an eating disorder. Promise. haha.
Anyways. that's my little vent. have a nice day.

You should probably make yourself eat a little more often, but I'm the same when I'm at school. I just forget and never think I'm hungry. You should watch your sodium intake though in case you lean towards processed foods. A multivitamin may also be good too so that you get some nutrients that you're missing out on. Just remember to eat, it'll probably even make you feel better.

Boys can be crude. Don't beat yourself up over something that is probably stupid.
