Under 25 with over 25 to lose.
There are not many groups for younger people, I guess because we're kind of the minority on this site (or so it seems at least). Further, I have never seen a group to really motivate those who are both young, with more than a little shaping up to do (10-15 lbs)
My name is Amelia I am 16 years-old, 5'9, 209 lbs, and I hope to get to 145 by March. I live in Newfoundland, Canada and my biggest motivation is looking as good on the outside as I feel on the inside(cheesy, I know).
So, if you want to join, leave your

I'm not expecting big thing from this group seeing hopw little of the Calorie count population fits this criteria.
cheers!
Edit:
I figured we could add a weekly weigh in to add a little extra push and for support (i guess?)
How about Tuesday weigh ins, post with your:
Start weight:
Current weight:
Pounds left until goal:
And, to get a little chat going, what's your workout plan, any tips or secrets to share?
Start weight: 178
Last week: 162.5
This week: 163
I gained half a pound. I have been doing a lot better with exercising, but haven't been eating well at all. I also splurged on cheesecake last night! I counted my calories all day and had lots left but I know I shouldn't stuff my face at night, especially not with cheesecake! I am going to try my best to eat right this week. My weight has been fluctuating that last couple of weeks between 162 and 164. I haven't been giving it my all, so at least I know why I'm not losing.
I also wanted to welcome all the new people who have joined this forum! I am very excited that this forum will continue!
Good Luck everyone!
Weight last week 153
Start weight over all 205
Current weight: 148.8
Pounds left until goal: 13.8
I think some of the weight loss was water weight but I know I lost some pounds as well. I hope to lose at least 1 pound think week but lets hope for 2 :) :)
Name(or nickname if you'd rather): Elizabeth
Height/weight: 5'6 - 162
Goal: 125 lbs
Age: 22 last Friday
Location: Suburb of Detroit, MI
Biggest Motivation: I haven't ever really been in my "healthy weight-range" since before high school (then I was 150, still high for my height). I wasn't aware of my weight before then, so I have no comparison. But I'd really like to dress up one time and not be self-conscious when I walk into a room of attractive people.
Well it is wednesday, but I'm just joining in the fun!
Start weight: 225
Start date: November 26, 2007
Todays weight: 217.5
I plan on losing a total of 75lbs, I'd like to stay w/in 145-150 for good.
This is especially hard as we're approaching the holiday. I love to eat.
I weighed w/in 140-170 in highschool and now that I am older and sitting at a desk all day, I can't seem to maintain my weight. Wish me luck, i'll weigh in next week!

i used to get on the tread, starting at 30min, then on my 3rd week i was going for 3 hours, steepest incline, and a swift walk, i didnt really loose much, but i felt more firm.. and HAPPY :) im in college now, working 2 jobs, living at home..... and the ppl at the gym are scary.. im going to try going in the evenings when its dead..and its a free college gym.. so i hope i can stick to it.. im going to start this coming week, after finals... im pooped today...worked 17 hours between the 2 jobs...
the only thing that keeps me on the tread forever is watching cartoons.. they are fast, somewhat amusing... and i guess just addicting.. i hope i can stay with this profile and not slack

Name(or nickname if you'd rather): Amal, but I like the name Mell, because nobody pronounces my real name right.
Height/weight: 5'6, 171
Goal: 135
Age: 16
Location: Ohio, US
Biggest Motivation: I realized how truly NOT in shape I am. I can't even run for more than 5 minutes. I want to be healthy. I want to look good, and I want to BE the one people like at school instead of all my pretty friends.
So does anybody still post on this thing?!

Name: Amy
Height: 5'7"
Start weight: 200 lbs
Current weight: 153
Goal weight: 135
I gained 3 lbs since last week but I had an insane binge on sunday so I think if I'm good it should be down by next week!
I finally got back to the gym, and I think I can start going there regularly again (at least, on the days I don't have to work!). I walked on the treadmill for 49 minutes, maintaining a heartrate of approximately 130 bpm. Then I went into the weight room and did 20 reps per set, for three sets per arm, working my arms. It was pretty good. My arms are very tired, and it may be a challenge to dance in class tomorrow.
This morning I was at 166.2, but I expect another drop tomorrow, because it's the end of the day immediately after drinking a full water bottle, and I'm only at 166.8 right now. So YAY. Thought you ought to know.
Jo
I ran for 25 minutes and did a strength training session that works my whole body. I do two sets of 10-12 reps of each move, there are eight moves.
By the end my arms were DEAD and my legs were rubbery but I still ran two miles. I've been stuck at 154-152 for so long now, So i hope if I really start pushing myself in my work-outs the scale will let me see the 140's.
Good luck tomorrow!
Amy
