So, this is me again (I posted a before and after photo post about 3 months ago, but these photos are more accurate) posing before and after..

It just so happens that the before picture (left) was taken on the very first day of dieting by one of my friends whilst we were messing about at lunchtime which I thought was quite impressive.. yet more coincidental, haha!)

I regularly keep getting friends congratulating me and asking me how I did it and I'm definitely recommending this website!

I'm keeping going now though, not far to go! :D

EDIT: So I realised I put my age after I saved the topic title.. hehe :)

    Don't post your age!! =( You're supposed to be 18 to be here..


    Good job btw! You'll be glad you did it now rather than later!! =) Takes a lot to focus on weight loss that young.

    Thank you all! As for age, I realised that when I posted it but it was too late to change it. I doubt much would happen anyway :)

    Nice to see a young person taking control of their weight. A lifestyle change at 15 is a lot easier than a lifestyle change at 45, and you're going to save yourself a lot of headaches going forward. Way to go!!!

    Great job! My 17 year old daughter has lost 30 pounds since coming here. The most exciting thing about it is that you are learning better eating habits at a young age, and hopefully you will not struggle your whole life the way some of us have ! Congrats on your huge accomplishment!

    Great work! Keep it up. I wish I would have started when I was 15 instead of 9yrs later.

    You look great, good job!

    Imo there shouldn't be an age restriction, at least if there was, it should be 13, not 18. Young people can benefit greatly from this site just as well as any adult!

    That moment when you're eighteen and you're procrastinating so much that you can't even lose 10 pounds in a month.

    This is really impressive and inspiring at the same time! Great job!

    I'll pretend like I didn't see your age but, great job! I didn't have the drive or will power to do that when I was your age.

    Great job!!! Congratulations!

    I wish I would pull my head out of my *kitten* when I was 15 and maybe I would not have so many regrets 25 years later!!! :sad:

    Way to go! You look amazing. Very encouraging, since I'm around your age as well. Any tips?! Haha.
    By the way, I don't understand why we have to be 18 to use a food tracking website ... MFP has been a HUGE help to me and many other teenagers, I'm sure.
