First of all: Green is my favorite colour so yay!

Second of all: Hi Angie Marge and Gwen! :)

I'm Amelia, 18 years old and from Canada. I'm 5'8.5" and currently weighing about 225. My whole life I've been a "big girl" I can remember always putting myself on strict diets and exercise programs, even as young as 6-7 years old. Of course, I never knew the proper way to healthily diet back then, so my ideas were far too crazy and I'd never last over 2 days.

Honestly I've never been on a successful diet. I know how to diet, I've  learned a lot about how your body digests, how to exercise properly, and such. BUT I'll do well the first two weeks, then I'll cut myself a little slack on the third, and a little more on the fourth... until I've gained back everything (and then some!) But here's to changing that, and become the healthy person I've always wanted to be! This will be my first time in a Biggest Loser Challenge and I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone and staying motivated! GO GREEN!

sorry, I do tend to ramble. :)

Hello hello!

Welcome to all our new members :)
Good to see our group growing!

The cottage was funnnn. Didnt do as much hiking as I would have liked, but tried to stay on track.

This has been a week of entirely NO COUNTING... for shammeeeee.
And because of that here are my standings:

SW: 232
LW:225.2

Current:225.4

Weight lost: -.2

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

this week, I'm going to do it right!

Anemos: I've neen thinking about rewards for myself too, i think when I reach my first goal of being in, 'one'derland as they say, will be an ipod touch. It's a little bit of a lavish reward but I really want one, so what better motivation? hehe

Finally: An official under25 Hello to Kellee and Deja_voo! :)

awesome job! A pound lost defiantly beats a pound gained! :) :)

Start weight: 232.00

Last Week: 226.2

Current weight: 225.2

Pounds lost: 1

Pounds left to goal: 26.2

When I hopped on my scale at first this morning, It told me 229! I was so disappointed! but then when i got on a second (and third and fourth) time it told me 225.2.

I'm pleased. I didnt have a very good week for counting or exercise,  i really have to make myself exercise more!

hope all your weigh ins were goood!

keeep it up!

ok so its not so much friday anymore... but I DID weigh myself yesterday!

Start weight:232
Current weight:226.2
Pounds left until goal:5.8

whuut? I'm guessing I was retaining water when i weighed myself last week for the starting weight. but I'm pleased!

this weekend I'm hardly even trying... oops. I'm getting a good bit of exercise, but not on purpose exactly haha. So starting Monday I'm going to need to cut back to about 1300-1400 (from 1600) and amp up the exercise to balance myself out.

good job everyone! and welcome to Janz and Ree!

Welcome Jessie-Leigh!

I really love to run and I couple of years ago I started the couch to 5k plan.I really enjoyed it, has anyone else done that?

but now I think I'd be far too embarrassed to run outside again (not to mention there are hills everywhere where I live) so I'll have to start on the treadmill until I can build up some stamina

Firstly, welcome to the group sibylisvain & caiteliz !!

Applemilk, that sounds alot like handball... is it similar? I used to play that but a loong time ago, in like junior high and elementary gym class. I loved it! hehe

Back in High School, haha rather 3 months ago, I was fairly active, and now I'm afraid that at 210-230 pounds in my high school years, THAT will be the weight I look back on as my "fittest" which is kind of scary and a huge motivation!

I was on the ice hockey team ( I joined on a whim, only having skated before, when I was in grade 10 I was absolutely, but i improved to just an uncoordinated mess ) dance team, and I took dance classes outside of school. I had been dancing since i was 4 and it became a HUGE part of who I am. But I always told myself that once I graduated, I would quit because it costs my parents a lot of money, and I need to focus on studying. I actually get pretty emotional thinking about it... I was a near 230 lbs ooof trying to pass for a ballerina, but my weight didn't matter to me, I'd stand next to my classmates, most absolutely beautiful and 110 lbs, but as long as I was dancing, it didn't matter.

rrrrrrambling again, sorry

Well seeing as I'm the only 5'9, you will all need to get 2 inch heels then.(just so were even)

I was just bowling with my friends... that was fun.. but hardly exercise haha. especially when you factor in that even if we were there for an hour, I only bowled for a third of that. :P 104 calories burned.

But I may now go take a walk up to the drugstore to buy a few things.  Exercise is way more fun when it ends in new makeup! :)

P.S: Welcome scbabe!

Seems that I'm one of the...larger.. girls for the past few pages at least, but hopefully not all hope is lost and I have a twin out there somewhere!

I was going to post for a restart, but I guess you missed my post.

No worries.

start me up for the ninth, please and thanks

ugh!

Why am I not doing this?

65 pounds by summer is so... not going to happen, or at least that's what I feel.

but 15 every couple months is so easy!

Thanks!
