in Success Stories
I'm 18 years old and this summer I've realized I had to get healthy.I didn't do any fad diets,i just simply ate healthy and did ALOT of cardio.I go running,bike riding,and use an elliptical.The reason why I started this is when i gained forty pounds over two years and now iv'e almost lost it all.I'm almost halfway there my ideal weight is 135 and i'm now 188.If anyone else has some pics and they're around my height feel free to share! love seeing success stories.

    Great job so far!! You and I are quite similar: I'm 5'8 and I've lost 34 lbs so far :)
    I am also a young one, at 20 years old. It's tough to do, but we're getting it done, girl!
    I'm hoping to get down to 140-ish, maybe 145? I still don't know.
