YCC Find A Buddy (First Edition)

Hey I'm Jordyn

I weigh between 165-170lbs

Age: 17

Height: 5'9.5"

Goal: 135lbs (130 at the lowest)

I would like to reach this goal by my dance competitions in March

Hey :) 

I am Makenzie. 

I am around 5'4 and I weigh 160.

My goal weight is 130.

I have been struggling with my weight so much recently thanks to college ha and I have never really had to worry about it before so it has been tough. I would love a buddy to help stay motivated!

Hi Im Becky, 

current weight: 133lbs

Age: 21

Height: 5'4

Goal: 120lbs

Age: 19

current weight: 209

goal weight:  I think I could get down to 155 or so, but my goal for now is 179.  I think it's healthy to set realistic and attainable goals, as opposed to obsessing over some sort fantasy number.

Age: 21

Current Weight: 148

height: 5'1"

goal weight: 125-130

I gave myself a year to lose the last 20-25lbs, as it took me a year to lose 30. My start weight was 181! But given what a roll I'm on lately, I say that it will probably take only until Jan-Feb. I work out 3-4x a week doing cardio and weight training. Would love to find another college student who is also lifting weights

I've already lost all of the weight i wanted to lose, but i really want to help people get what they've wanted. I went from 5'4 and 117 lbs, to being 5'5 (i grew) and 100 lbs. I have a small frame and am 14 years old. Weight loss took place over 2.5 months and I averaged around 2 lbs a week loss.

I'll help you if you want help!

Hey, I'm Abby!

Looking for someone willing to talk about an eating disorder? i don't like people who yell at me, but more sympathize and reason.

I grew an inch, so i'm 5 ft 8 in and as of yesterday back down to 100 lbs. i'm up to 1200 cals which is better than before but i've got a ways to go.

MESSAGE ME! PLEASE!

Thanks1 :)

Hey, is mise Róisín. :D

Start Weight: 196lbs

Weight Now: 186lbs

Age: 18

BMI: 29

Height: 5'6

Goal: 140 - 150

Want to get to a healthier weight but I end up getting disheartened half way through and just wing it without thinking about what I'm doing or not doing.

Like I first started this in June and lost 10lbs quite fast, I've kept that weight off (good thing about me is I remain a constant weight easily) but I haven't lost anymore. So I'm back on this again now and hopefully will stick with it.

And I want to get to a weight were I'm healthy, but I also wanna feel and look good too and be fitter.

So I'm hoping that if I got a buddy I might be more inclined to keep on track.

Hi, I'm Yasmin,

Weight: 60kg (132 pounds, I fluctuate quite a bit)

Age: 15

Height: 175cm (5'8"ish I think)

Goal: Mostly maintain and tone up a bit, but I wouldn't mind if I lost a couple of kilograms as we have our school formal (same as a prom) in two months :) I've also just stopped taking the pill which made it really hard for me to lose weight as it made me crave food all the time. Also made me feel depressed a lot of the time, which meant I resorted to eating to make me feel better.

Would definitely be nice to find someone with similar goals or someone who has gone through the same experience with the pill.

 this isn't a healthy goal weight, you shouldn't pursue it. The weight you are at is perfectly fine! :)

I have joined the gym for the first time at the start of september mainly to become fitter but also to tone up and lose a few pounds. My uncle passed away last summer aged 51 after having a heart attack and drowning - it changed my perspective on life and also prompted me to get a check up at the doctors as my uncle did not know he had heart problems, ate healthily, was very skinny but smoked a lot. It turned out that heart problems run in the family and I was diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia....high cholesterol that runs in the family - controlled by meds, as even a healthy diet won't make a difference.

This kicked me into action and this year, after his anniversary I decided that I need to join a gym - as I drive everywhere these days so don't walk as often as I used to. I've enjoyed using the gym so far and the best part is how much fitter and alert I feel. I am also on the pill and have been for 6 years as being on it is the only thing that stops vomiting etc. during my period. I'm not using it for contraceptive reasons at all and I think being on it for so long has a lot to do with why I put on a bit of extra weight as I used to be much slimmer before being on the pill. Having said that it is a life saver and it means I can enjoy work etc. without having to take days off sick. It also helped when I was taking exams etc.

My problem is snacking...so this week I am cutting out snacks all together, I hope that I see a change on the scale by next week =)
