Under 25 with over 25 to lose.

Hi.
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?

I'm used to weigh-ins on Friday. ^.^ Double weekly weigh-ins. Not too bad. A nice comparison between groups for myself.

I haven't binged exactly today I've just been snacking all day. I have not been unhealthy. I've been incorperating fruits and vegetables in as much as I can. =3

I guess I will be the first one to weigh in today......

Beginning weight: 160 (very close estimate)

Today's weight:  151 !!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy about this. This is the first time that I've dieted and actually knew that I could go all the way. It feels great!

Well I didn't have time to weigh in yesterday, I literally woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave for work.  My three month old wanted to play at 1 in the morning...not fun he slept way to much during the day.  But I did weight in yesterday :)

Starting weight: 196.6

Current weight (as of 7/23) 193!  wahoo

Total weight loss: 17 pounds

Pounds left until goal: Short term 30; long term 43

I upped my 30 min elliptical workout to 40 mins on Sunday and actually found it very easy, thank goodness for a tv and dvd playing in the exercise room. 

This is my weigh in...

Start weight:162

Current weight:157.2

Goal weight:110

Total Lbs lost: 4.8

Lbs. to go: 47.2

Weigh in...

Start:148

Good luck Everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Name: Cori

Height/ Weight: 5'8 174 lbs.

Goal: 144

Age:22

Houston, TX.

My motivation is to get a flat stomach and thinner thighes like I used to have when I was in highschool playing volleyball. I have started running everyday during the week and I think that is going to make a big difference. I was also considering taking the new Alli diet pills. Does anyone have any information about them?

Hey everyone! Here's my weigh in for this week:

Height: 5'4"
Start weight: 149
Current weight: 140.2
Pounds left until goal: 20.2

I'm up a pound since last week which is frustrating. I hope it's just because my period is coming soon. Also, I'm at the point in my diet (about 5 weeks in) where I'm starting to lose the hardcore motivation that I had in the beginning. I'm hoping that I can stick with it until I reach my goal, because I know it'll take a while to lose those 20 pounds.

gah.
I've had a pretty awful past few days.

I had some family to visit, and I guess you could say I over indulged.

I'm way too scared to weigh this week.

(but I was down another 2 last week! I didn't post after.)

Ive never used alli put search for it in forums there are a few.

this is the most recent http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/4625 2.html

good luck and try using cc alone, im sure it will work especially with the motivation of knowing you should weigh in every tuesday! 

age: 23
weight: 126
goal: 93

july 25th start weight: 126
current weight: 126
pounds left until goal: 33

Hello everyone, I'm just getting started here and I hope there's more room for the under-25 club :)
Anyways, here are my stats:

Laura
Height 5'4" Weight (approx) 175lbs
Goal (I am going by the CC calculation for a healthy BMI) 130lbs
Age: 20
Location: Toronto, Ontario

Biggest Motivation: To know what it's like to see my toes instead of my tummy when I look straight down...ha ha. To be healthy and fit is more like it :) And to be a more confident with my appearance.

Any suggestions for my weight-loss kick-off? The simpler, the better. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

Name: Matt
Height/Weight: 5`8 and 161 pounds

Goal: short term is around 145, but I know I'll put some on 'cos I'm starting weight training, which is fine

Age: 23 (nearly 24...eek!) 

Location: UK

Motivation: I'm tired of looking in the mirror and just thinking eugh! I really wanna boost my confidence as I'm tired of being single, and I know that until I'm happy with me, that's not gonna change.

Plus, my family has a history of heart disease and cancer, so I decided that while I'm young, I really need to get healthy and change my lifestyle to give myself a good shot at a long, healthy life.

Name: Abby

Height/Weight: 5'6 and 189 lbs

Age: 24

Goal: long term: 140lbs  short term: lose 10 lbs by Labor day weekend when I'm going to Vegas with my skinny girlfriends!

Location: Souther MD

Motivation: I want my athletic body back from when I was in high school.  I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and smile because I earned the body I have, not setteled for it.   And if my b/f ever gets off his lazy ass and proposes then I want to look amazing in my wedding dress!

Even though it's wednesday, not tuesday ;o;

Starting weight: 165.8
Current weight: 164.2
Goal weight:
Long term = 120. Short term (1st mini goal) = 160.

I got a scale, and it turns out I weigh just about exactly 360 pounds right now. I know I didn't weight that much at the beginning of the summer (or ever), and the only thing that was different between then and now (other than starting to count calories and exercise 2 weeks ago) is being put on depo provera. None of my clothes fit any different, and I don't really feel different, but the numbers have definitely gone up. I know that weight gain is a side effect of the medication, but it's working so well that I don't want to go off it again! I'm due for my next shot in one month, so I guess I'll talk to my doctor about it then. Over the few days I've had the scale, though, it looks like I am losing weight (on my good days: cousin's wedding this week, so lots of big family dinners) in spite of the medication. I wonder if it would go faster if I went off it, or if I should just keep going?
