Group for teens that want to lose 20+ lbs by Summer

So I really need to get on the stick. I lost 15 pounds from february, but gained all of it back this summer when I totally binged. I'm really mad at myself and need to lose a lot of weight before I go on a cruise with my family and wear a bikini and stuff, y a know?

So, for teens who actually need to lose weight, we can support each other while we're dealing with school and life and trying to lose weight and still maintain our good grades.

So post your stats and we'll introduce outselves and support each other on this super hard journey.

I binge eat a lot.

I love cookies, breads, cereals, granola bars..etc

You're posting on another board that you have serious depressive/self-harm/suicidal tendencies and skewed body-image issues.   Your target of 125lbs is a very, very low weight whereas 159lbs is perfectly healthy & normal for someone your age and height. http://www.kidsnutrition.org/bodycomp/bmiz2.h tml   My concern is that if you cut your calorie intake in order to lose weight you will find that only makes your depression worse.  Nutrition and cognitive function are linked.... if your body is malnourished, your brain will play tricks on you.  As well as echoing previous advice to see a doctor urgently I think you should now stop dieting - it poses far too great a risk to your health.

Okayyy, lets see if I can do this..

I haven't cut my eating down, I haven't needed to. I'm a vegeatarin and I don't eat that bad. I'm just trying to work out more. I"m just fine. Thank you for your concern.

Age: 15 and a half

Birthday: September 25 1993

Height: 5'1"

Weight: 158

Goal: 130 by may

Little Goals:

-log everything

-jump rope 3x daily or at least 1hr daily

-walk every day

This is the perfect thread for me, because for once, I'm actually trying to look good before summer. I want to not be self conscious about myself when I'm in a swimsuit. I'm hoping to actually wear a bikini this year and actually swim with my friends. It will be great if I can get there...

Hey, everyone: I'm Tabitha

Age: 16

Height: 5'4.5''

Starting weight: 146-147

Weight today: 138

Weight goal: 125 (120 would be ideal, but I'll see what I look like when I get there), by June 1, 2009

Little goals: Stop yo yo dieting! 

Walk 2 miles everyday until my goal, and after: keep up my exercise in the summer

Motivations: I'm hoping to be one of those "Summer butterflies" when I get back to school in August. You know- those people that leave school dorky/fat and come back beautiful. I know I have that potential. 

Hey everyone! I'm alittle late it seems, lol

My name is Andrea

I'm 19 yrs old

I weigh 120 ish

Main goal 100

Main problem: belly fat! Ewww

I know 100 seems kind of low, but I have a very small frame and i used to weigh 107 which was perfect for me... however, i still had the problem of belly fat. I get bored of crunches, sit ups, etc.

I think dieting is my best bet until i've lost most of the belly fat then i'll start working out to tone up. This is my goal anyway.
