under 20 and over 200lbs

who here is under 20 yrs old but over 200lbs?? i was reading the 'any teens out there' thread (even tho i barely qualify as a teen, being 19) and everyone's soooo skinny!! i'm like, twice their weight :( anyways, i'm just wondering how many of u can understand this feeling. it sucks to stand out in a crowd of beautiful young peeps, and not in the good way..

I'm 20, but from age 18 until just a few weeks ago I've been over 200lbs. Now I'm just a few pounds under ;) but it still feels good.

Anyway, I definitely can empathize. It sucks to feel so big sometimes.

I'll be 18 years old in less than a month and I weigh around 215 pounds. I read that thread too and I was also thinking they are so skinny! I wish I were between 150-175 pounds.  To many, think that is not good but after being above 200 for so long, anything under that is like...wow.

Hi there , i just want to tell you that i am happy that you dont care much when it comes to looks because when i was over weight that bother me so much and i got so depressed that i thought i was going to loose it . But anyway i hope you get the motivation for the sake of being healthy first of all than comes looks . I lost 44lbs on less than 3 months and I am sure than once you choose to loose your weight you will too .

Good Luck

Hey! I'm 14 years old and can definitely empathize also. I'm not in the 200's anymore but I was there not too long ago.

I'm bigger than the majority of my friends so I can relate on that spectrum (most of them are between 100-130 lbs). But usually when I'm around them I don't feel big or anything because they just accept me for who I am. I've been through that phase where I thought I wasn't pretty and beautiful because of my weight but it's the person inside that counts. I'm starting to get off-topic and beginning to sound preachy so I'll stop now. :)

ooh i'm so excited to hear from so many of u!!

colbers - congratz on getting under 200lbs. must feel good :D

rachelynn - maybe my goal of 130lbs is too ambitious? i should prolly aim for 150-175 like u too

finallyskinny - but i still DO care about looks... i mean, i want to be healthy too but i need to get over my image problem first. how did u do it? and what's herbalife??

lilydream35 - thanx for ur kind msg. u don't sound preachy at all :)

no more?
