Young Calorie Counters	Teenage meet-n-greet	Dec 31 2007 16:30 (UTC)	7
Hey. :) I'm Emily, 17 years old (can't wait to be 18 in July..), am 5'5.5'' and weight about 130 lbs. I was born and raised in Minnesota. I'm settling for a cheaper state college because I will be studying pre-physical therapy.. meaning that grad school is going to be competitive and expensive, and then I plan on going to a more prestigious college. I was "temporarily anorexic", in some sense. It wasn't drastic, and only lasted for about a month or two. Since 2007 some time, I forget when exactly, I have lost almost 40 lbs. Since for a bit of that time I lost weight too quickly, I have extra fat that simply needs to be toned up and turned into muscle -- basically just my torso and thighs. So that is what I am hoping to change. I speak a little bit of French. I took it for three years, but am not this year because I didn't have room for it in my schedule. My classes pertain to what I need to my major, rather than.. language. Although I may start taking Spanish later, as it would be beneficial for physical therapy. I love the Greek and Italian culture and hope to study abroad in college and, if I don't study in either of those two countries, I am at least going to travel there. I want to learn how to speak those languages, as well. WIll it happen? Probably not. But a girl can certainly dream! Uhm.. I have very low self-esteem and -confidence, and am hoping that improves once I tone up my body some more. But.. yeah!

I'm 17 years old, 5'5.5'' and weight about 130 lbs. right now. I'm not too concerned about my weight right now, because I know it is healthy. If I can weight less, that would be great! Probably no less than 125, I think. What I am more concerned about is actually toning up the fat that is just.. there. I was "temproarily anorexic", sort of, for about a month or two, and bridging on it for about one, so I lost weight quickly but because of that it took muscle, too, so I have some extra fat that needs to be turned into muscle. Because I work almost every day (two jobs, so to speak.. one is an internship) and then I am taking classes that I shouldn't have signed up for, I'm stressed and haven't had time to exercise aside from walking for about a month or two now. So basically, I need someone to help motivate me to start weight training again so I can tone up.
Young Calorie Counters	New years resolutions?	Dec 31 2007 16:06 (UTC)	6
1. Stop stressing out about schoolwork when I already have a 4.0 -- I don't need more than one -- and have been accepted to college. 2. Clean my room and keep it that way. 3. Actually call people back when they call me. 4. If possible, find a boyfriend..? 5. Become happy with my body by: not worrying about weight and simply toning that remaining jiggle up to muscle. 6. Be happy and confident with myself and my life.
Motivation	New Year's Resolutions? (What are yours?)	Dec 30 2007 20:58 (UTC)	9
My New Year Resolution is basically to become happy with who I am. It consists of many things: my appearance, my personality, etc. I want to especially be able to look in the mirror and just.. not automatically see something I want to change. Just be happy and comfortable with who I am, period.

I'm buying things for my immediate family (extended, we just do "this is from the entire family" thing). But for my friends, I'm making them all some peppermint cocoa and some christmas cookies.

Weight Loss	10LBS BY ~HALLOWEEN~	Oct 13 2007 15:02 (UTC)	12
Starting Weight: 166 - 170 lbs. Start of Challenge: 141 lbs. Halloween Goal: 131 lbs. Current Weight: 126.5 lbs. It really doesn't look it, though.
Weight Loss	10LBS BY ~HALLOWEEN~	Oct 06 2007 16:07 (UTC)	20
Start of Challenge: ~140 lbs. Current Weight: 129.5 I made my goal. Unfortunately I don't think it looks like I lost it.. hm. So now my new goal, for different challenges (basically the Thanksgiving one) is 120 lbs. I'm going to still eat the same but try and find time for exercising. I really haven't lately, due to school work and then working every day after school. So primarily I'll fit in walking the dog when I can, and then try some ab work, 'cause that's where I would like to see the most difference. Hopefully 10 more lbs. will do what I want it to! I thought I would be done losing weight at 140, then 135, then 130. Pfft.. going for 120 now. Jeez!

Weight Loss	Herbalife Protien Shakes	Oct 02 2007 12:35 (UTC)	4
Oh my god. Gag Those things were disgusting. I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the correct thing. Where the shake comes as powder in a little plastic jar thing, and you mix it with milk or something? Yeah.. that was gross. My mom and I tried that back in the spring. Lost a few pounds with it, but I had to plug my nose and gulp it down really quickly. I literally gagged when drinking those. The fact that they were disgusting and a crapload of money was, to me, not worth it at all.

Weight Loss	"The Thanksgiving Ten" - losing those last annoying pounds challenge & support group	Sep 29 2007 23:19 (UTC)	265
This sounds awesome! 10 more lbs. by Thanksgiving? Perfect. Although I'll probably try for more, considering I'll likely gain some weight back on that day. Lol. Age: 17 Sex: Female Height: 5'6'' - ish. Current Weight: 134 lbs. Goal Weight: At least 124 lbs. I might actually be looking at 120 lbs.. I don't know. Technically, I'm sure I am a "healthy" weight, but that pudge is being stubborn. I don't know what'll happen in 10 lbs., so we'll see.
Weight Loss	10LBS BY ~HALLOWEEN~	Sep 29 2007 03:35 (UTC)	35
I weighed in at 134 lbs. this morning! Two lbs. and I will have lost the 10 already. Yes! Granted today was a major off day. It was high school homecoming, what can I say. Healthy breakfast, but then we went out for lunch and snacked on stuff after school. Eek.. tomorrow I'm going to really have to watch what I eat! Since our house is being remodled, and it's getting colder, I still don't know how to fit in good exercise. I'm thinking about possibly bringing a lab top up to my room and doing DVDs up there.. hopefully that'll work for now. 'Cause I think, even though I am losing weight, it doesn't look it 'cause I haven't been toning up as much.

Sorry that I didn't update. I've been working a lot recently. So this is what was supposed to be Monday's update. Warrior (Of which I suddenly seem to be the only member..) Start of Challenge: 140 lbs. (about) Last Weigh In: 139 lbs. Current Weight: 136 lbs. Total Lost: 4 lbs.
Weight Loss	10LBS BY ~HALLOWEEN~	Sep 23 2007 05:35 (UTC)	51
I weighed in yesterday at 136 lbs. So I've lost 6 lbs. since early Sept., I think. Yay, me! :) I've been "semi-fasting" for a few days, so that's probably why I've lost that much weight but.. oh well. I like the number, and I think I might be noticing a diff. Only 6 lbs. 'till my "goal". Though I don't think that in 6 lbs. the fat I want to be gone will be gone, so I might have to change my goal to 125.. hm.

I missed the "weigh in day", I know. I've been sick for a week now, though, so I haven't been sticking with my diet, nor have I gotten exercise in. Granted, since school started I haven't exercised much at all, what with homework and work outside of school. But I did today just to see what I will have to do once I'm over this and.. guess what? 137 lbs.! I dropped 2 lbs. while I was sick. Holy crap! With just lazing around and eating toast, soup, and a crap loud of OJ and other cals/carbs. Wow.. I'm happy. That means that since the beginning of September, I have lost 5 lbs. Yay! :) So technically I'm half way to the 10 lbs. by Halloween. Maybe it can be like.. 13 lbs. If I'm 130 at Halloween, that would be awesome.
Health & Support	Not eating "right" causes a common cold to be worse..?	Sep 15 2007 18:33 (UTC)	3
I haven't gone to see a doctor, no. I feel like I am getting better -- basically now it's just my throat/voice and a headache if I stand up too quickly. But if I'm not feeling any better than I am now by Monday, I'll probably go see one. Thanks for the "get well soon". :)
