:happy:

1. I'm in highschool, and there is a ton of pressure to look good in highschool. Skinny girls walking around all over the place.
2. I have gained weight since my senior soccer season ended and now I am terrified of getting heavy.
3. I was fat from 4th grade to 8th-ish grade. I was made fun of a lot. I never want to go back to that again.
4. My arms and back fat disgust me. MAke me want to barf.
5. Spring break is coming up and i wanna feel okay in a bikini.
6. I'm going to college next year and all I can think about is gaining that freshman 15.
7. I'm tired of having a double chin. I'm self consciense
8. I'm too hard on myself as it is...i don't wanna make it worse.
9. I wanna live a long healthy life and be the best and look the best that i can be without having any more regrets about my appearance :]
10. I wanna fit into a size 4 so I can steal some of mom's clothes. AHA.


Soooo, if anyone wants to be weight loss buddies?!!?!? I'm here :]]

    I'm the mom to a senior girl in high school. Your reasons to get in shape sound great! And I think it is wonderful that you already realize making healthy life choices is very important. Don't be too hard on yourself (and your back fat:wink: ), keep working hard, and good luck on staying fit!

    I think that's great you are wanting to do this is in a healthy way at your age. Starting now, you will prevent that freshman 15! :) Good luck to you!

    I went to college for one year...and I didn't gain the weight, I lost it. Living on the third floor, ran up and down the steps cause the elevator was too slow, and walked across campus to get to my classes. I think that is half the reason why I miss college lol!

    If you need anybody we are all here- but I would love to be your friend :)
