Word up!! New to the forum dealio too (though I have been using the wt graph thingy for the last year) Feel free to check out my profile/pics and add me if ya like!! I'm 27 and looking to meet anyone and everyone who could use a little extra motivation and support.  I myself have lost 60lbs with 15-20 more to go *pats self on back......hugs self......really likes self.......tries to make out with self* hahaha ;) but in all seriousness though I would love to reach my goal along side you as it is much easier to achieve it when someone's got your back. Family and friends aren't often supportive enough emotionally and that is a fact.  Sure they may be the first ones to say "I think its time you lost some weight" but what steps are they taking to figure out just why you are the way you are (ie: Are you depressed? Are you eating for comfort? Should we take you for a check up just to make sure you don't have a metabolic disorder? etc etc the list goes on and on).  Instead of asking "why" My family chose to tell me that if I didn't lose weight I'd have to shop in a "tent and awning" store for clothing...nice eh?  It also didn't help when my bro would flat out say to me " F*ck you're fat!" either...(though he did say he was proud of me for my recent loss and apologized for the comments. I guess I'll give him like 2 points for not being such a dick anymore haha)

Anyways I just wanted to put myself out there as someone who might know what you are going through and I'd very much like to be there if you are needing someone to talk to.  You are more than welcome to msg me about anything and everything  (even if you think it is a dumb ass question/comment...I'd like to hear it)  FYI. I'm a nurse so this also includes other sorts of things on your mind that you *cough* can't talk to your family/friends about  feel free to ask away.

Much Love
Leah

PS.......My facebook status totally reads :

"Leah.....was seriously thinking "Green, Red, Yellow".....Red, Yellow....Bluuuuuuuuue while that killers song played on the radio"

Thought I'd mention that after seeing that I was among  fellow GH fans....hope you don't suck as bad as I do......stupid orange key :(

I love love love this new bulk trail mix I purchased yesterday. It seems pretty easy to duplicate if you want to give it a shot.

Unsalted
    -soy nuts
    -sunflower seeds
    -tiny pumpkin seeds
  
Dried cranberries are also used in this mix but for some reason they seem like they are lightly salted. Either way it is a great blend of sweet/salty/crunchy!!

Much Love,
Leah

Hello all!! Happened to see this topic (was originally looking for a group of people in their twenties) but as I skimmed over a few of the posts I was just curious to see what sort of builds you all have given that  there are teens on here of my height (5'7) who are trying to get down to 110!!!!! Seriously?????  Have you discussed your weight loss goals with your Doc yet as so they can determine a healthy wt for you? They take into account your body frame, muscle mass, BMI etc etc etc.  I decided to do a bit of toggling with the BMI calculator  using the above height and wt. This is what it spewed out....and it's pretty well what you're doc is gonna tell you before he/she smacks you upside the head hahaha (just teasin) In all seriousness though the doc or a registered dietician can help you co-ordinate a weight loss plan appropriate for your body type.  (FYI: If you ever decide to donate blood the "minimum" weight requirement is 110 and basically means that if you are clinically underweight there are risks to donating and that your blood may not be sufficient due to low iron resulting from malnourishment etc etc)

BMI Index Analysis  

Based upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17.2, you are currently classed as underweight.

A healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 20 and 25 and a reasonable weight loss rate is 0.5-2 pounds a week.

(above BMI based on Height 5'7 and 110lbs)

I myself am 5'7 and 163lbs with a goal of reaching 140 (as discussed with my doc even though she advises me that loss to 145 would be more than enough) this is  a BMI of 21.9 (20-25 is healthy bmi weight) which means I might actually fit into a size 10 jean size WOOOT WOOOOT!!  I was a size 18 last year, ol shamu here was 220lbs to begin with.

The reason I'm writing this is because I see so many girls on the street who look so gaunt that I think they are going to pass out before I can run over with an emergency cheese burger. I also have a problem with clothing stores that make their threads so small that you'd swear they were made for children...like seriously ...size "00" you gotta be kidding me!! I thought size zero was disgusting enough then I saw that!!  If you don't believe me on the size issue I encourage you to compare a ROXY tshirt size to the same size from a clothing store geared for middle aged ladies..yeah they are hid-eeeeeeeee-ous but trying it on for size will give you an indicator about what the real sizes are. I think its pretty sad that after a loss of 60lbs that the only thing that fits me in Pacific Sun is the perfume and the shoes..Their loss (financially) as far as I'm concerned..I'd drop 80 bones for a hoodie if I could find one that fit me!!!  :( Pretty sad what your age group has to deal with eh?  Oh well I don't really care too  much about that anyways because I've been trying to achieve a healthy weight to prevent future problems (heart and diabetes probs in the family) and to feel better about myself...even though I am super smokin hawt as it is ;)!  Trust me...it's sooo not to get the guys because if that were the case I would probably be content at the weight I am now....Tried and tested ladies, men prefer broads with a lot of personality (and some cushion) over a woman with protruding bones any day of the week.  I hope you don't  think I am raining on your parade because that really wasn't my intentions...I am just hoping that you are choosing a realistic healthy weight loss goals and that you are doing it for you and you alone!!


Much Love
