    Losing weight was a breeze when I was young.....but now it's a pain in the hiney. Enjoy your fast metabolism why it lasts and remember weight loss won't always be easy. So develop good healthy habits now so you won't hafta worry about it later.

    Enjoy your youth...it'll be gone before you know it.

    Have you guys ever considered that your tendency to make excuses for not accomplishing a goal is why you're "too busy" to eat right? Try applying yourself to a goal, because I know for a fact that based in your current position and choice of words, you've never done that before in your life

    I started at 280lbs and I found it very simple, it's just basic math and making sure you measure your portions...

    So.......if it were that simple, then how did you end up at 280 in the first place? Did you just wake up one day like that?

    Keep making excuses, I'll keep making progress.
    All I know, is when I was 18 I didn't have 30 Lbs to lose to give my SO the partner they deserved (as per your profile) So what is YOUR excuse?? If you have a tendancy to be overweight now, just wait 'till you grow up!

    This thread reminds me why I'm so glad I'm not 18 anymore.

    See you in about 20 years, when you're talking about the glory days playing high school football.

    I knew everything for a fact when I was 18 too.

    Keep making excuses, I'll keep making progress.

    I am making progress we all are...

    YOu sound a lot like my son did 2 years ago...he's 20 now and has been out working for a couple years...he's not so smug.

    He actually wishes he could go back to high school life was easier...he didn't have to put in 48 hour weeks...he still lives at home so he's got it better than most....

    I haven't heard one excuse here...all I see are tickers of people who have lost a lot of weight, who are here doing it...

    Yes you are too...30lbs in total 14 to go..good for you.
    I'm a high school student, and when I'm home I usually just sit on the couch and watch TV/play PS4, or something along those lines. However, I lift for 30-45 minutes 3 times a week, and I go for a mile run once a week, and a 5 mile walk/run another day every week.
    Would I be sedentary or lightly active?

    This above is your life...not someone who is a parent/spouse/employee/ who has other things to do when they get home ...

    however most of us do exactly the same amount of exercise you do and more...better keep up young fella....this mom is kicking your *kitten* in the weight room.

    Exactly! I'd just had a baby and was a size 3 at that age.

    I'm guessing the OP hasn't been pregnant.

    18 year old male, probably have time to focus on weight loss, blah blah, people have mentioned that already

    There's also the fact that you likely have a fair amount to lose. Loss is typically much slower for smaller people. Enjoy finding it hard later on :happy:

    I foresee someone finding himself single and alone by summer's end.

    :laugh: This is so perfect for Thowback Thursday... I remember being 18 and knowing everything too...thanks for the laughs

    no, no.. you THOUGHT you knew everything...... which leads us back to the OP's comment.
    :laugh: :laugh: My point exactly....its almost sweet to see someone so niave, that he's figured out the answers to life. Too bad, he'll never have the pleasure of being a pre-menapausal woman :ohwell:

    Funny, because at 18 years old I couldn't have gotten to 50 pounds overweight if I tried? Metabolism was too good and I had no worries. So if this is all so easy, how on earth did you ever let yourself go to the point of being 50 pounds overweight as a teenager?

    This topic makes me feel a little testy. If this goes to blows, would I get torn down for punching a baby?

    This person doesn't seem like an eighteen year old by the way he/she writes.

    But I am accomplishing my goal; I'm losing weight. And there have also been challenges. And there will be more. Rant-worthy, complaint-worthy challenges. Pretending that challenges are really all just excuses doesn't make someone awesome. Recognizing challenges for how difficult they are, and over coming them anyway over time, makes someone awesome.

    Your young and you just got started. I bet if you have a lot to lose a good chunk came off in the first week or two. Report back in a few more months. It gets old.
