Should really depends on what you feel is right for you.

There is what some people consider to be weighing yourself too much, I guess they might classify that as a type of disorder? But just because other people think that doesn't mean what you do is wrong or right.
Weigh yourself as many times as you feel necessary.

I can go from not weighing myself for a couple days to weighing myself five times a day, it just depends how I'm feeling.

everyone's preference is different. But I think also the reason they may be with that "stick thin" girl more often is because those tend to have more confidence than the girls with curves. Because every not-stick-thin-girl I know is either extremely self-conscious and alone, or she's confident and is with a guy. I used to be the kind lacking confidence, never had a real boyfriend then. Now I'm actually ok with who I am, and I've got the love of my life coming home from the army base pretty soon.

anyone from around mansfield?

yay for Bellville *sarcasm*

If anyone else wants a weightloss buddy type person *raises hand* it'd be cool :)

I'm 5'6", 131, and 17 yrs old - started at 140. Trying to get to 110-115lb ish, and hopefully before winter quarter of college.

I've found I'm really bad at actually meeting my goals without motivation.

5 lbs = $20 spending spree at a thrift store (I love thrift stores lol)

10 lbs = I'll be getting this one pair of heels I've wanted from Debs for a long time

15 lbs = manicure/pedicure (never had either)

and when I reach 110, I'm getting skinny jeans (wanted to wear them forEVER) and my first tattoo.
*does a happy dance* I can't wait.

I'm 17, 5'5.5" (the half inch makes all the difference...)

started at 140, now at 133ish, trying to get to 110-115.
I'm having to agree with Heather - it's all how a person's body holds itself.
I have a fairly small frame, so the fat just sort of clings to my thighs, stomach, and hips. I really couldn't care less about losing weight, I just want to lose the fat *nodnod* but it seems like 110-115ish would take me where I want to be.

I've had a fairly unhealthy lifestyle for most of my life, and I pretty much just want to get uber-amazingly-suber-healthy before college starts... because I know that wouldn't happen -after- college.

country-cooking

Skateboarding is a nifty outlet for me, as long as you don't mind some scrapes on the general knee/hand/butt area. I learned quite quickly it works muscles in the legs that I didn't even know I had. And it's pretty fun.

My friends and I also started going to kiddy playgrounds, like the ones from childhood... even though we're seventeen.
You play on those for an hour or so, you're really staying pretty active without thinking of it as exercising.

Then... there's always going to the mall and diving behind the nearest random object/person everytime you see someone with a designated trait (brown hair, facial piercings, sandals, etc.)
yeah... we're real dumb. Sorry. lol
