in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm new here. I literally just made an account ten minutes ago, but I've been losing weight for about 3 weeks now and I've lost about 10 pounds. I truly hope there are some people my age around here, or anyone really, to help motivate me. I want to look great for summer and college :)

    I'm 22 if that's close enough. :) Welcome to the site, it's fantastic as long as you're honest with yourself. It's only unsuccessful when you cheat, or so I've seen.

    You'll do great, there are a lot of amazing people here to motivate you! Add me if you need a friend! :)

    I'm not 18, I'm 30 (ACK!!!), but I have dealt with the Battle of the Bulge for most of my life. You are welcome to add me as a friend, if you'd like. I find the best motivation is a good support group, and others (especially those who are in the struggle, too) help keep you on track. Best of luck in your journey!

    I'm 25, but I agree with what everyone has posted. You have to log everything you eat on here and that helps you to lose. Also having friends that are trying to eat better helps a lot. I started a competition and that has helped me to stick with it. Good luck!! You can do it!!

    Im 21, college student. You can add me as a friend if you like. More young people need to start caring about their health! At least were trying.

    i am sooooooo not even close to being 18.....I am turning 37 in April LOL. Feel free to add me for support tho. I think it's great that ur doing this at this age. I wish I would have started at an earlier age. Once u get past a certain age (usually in ur 30's) ur metabolism slows down quite a bit and it is very difficult to lose the weight, which is what I'm having to deal with right now. Together we can do this. Always remember to drink ur water and when u have a craving, drink more water. it has helped me quite a bit!
