Help us make this forum permanent!

We are testing the waters with this forum and have no idea if you will find it useful or not.

I could see this becoming one of our busiest forums because of the large number of young users on Calorie Count - but it could also turn out that our entire young audience prefers to hang out in forums for all ages.

Either way, we decided to give this experiment a shot and see how much it will end up being used. I personally believe that a forum for age-specific topics makes a lot of sense and would like to encourage you to chime in and help us get this off the ground. Welcome!

Great idea! i hope it goes really well!

I like it!

Especially because we not only share our age, but also problems (not just those about our shape, but also about school, decisions about our future career,..).

And, you know.. If my mom tells me something, I won't listen to her as I would if my friend told me the same thing :P

(no offense to everyone not in their 20s anymore :))

yay a forum just for us :)

Yes, that would be great because young individuals that are watching their weight are still growing little flowers and their needs are different from a full grown adult. I think it's great!

Great idea!

I'm not young... but I think this forum is a great idea!  There are so many teens/college-aged people on the board that I'm sure this section will be a great success... (and now I'll bow out back to almost-middle-aged-land (ulp!)

I'm sorta new and looking for a "home" on the boards.  I'm def. excited about this forum!!

i too am excited about this forum! great idea!

This is awesome!!
Now we can share our problems with people that can relate to us!

very helpful

im 17 and its nice to have people in the same age group all in the same area so i people giving me advice and the workouts/eating habits/lifestyle is similar to mine and can work for me if i try  

I love this... I'm 16... oh and can anyone tell me why can't i upload any of my photos???

I think it is a fab idea but There should be with in this section an area for younger people like in middle school and high school then a different area in this section for people in college, like the 20's-ish area because the college students do things differently and are inbetween teens and adults.

THis is exactly what cc needed to get younger people involved and on their way to success faster! But I don't think there should be separate areas from high school and younger and then for college and 20s. I am now just into the college age group and I really want to be able to support younger girls and it just wouldn't work if they had their own forum.

I think this is a fabulous idea! Obviously, there's a greater range of topics outside of here, but at least we'll find it easier to find the best weight loss buddy's!

I like this, it's pretty cool.  it's nice to be able to hang around and discuss with people who have the same problem AND are going through the experiences now.  I do like the other forums because the older adults have a lot of experience and advice but this is pretty awesome down here.
