    How old are you? Cause this says teen weight loss and you're not supposed to be on this website if you're under 18 I don't think.

    no offense and good luck in your quest to lose some weight but at 18 years old you shouldnt need motivation to do anything...

    What are you talking about, Everyone needs motivation.
    It doesn't matter how old you are to get motivated.

    Feel free to add me, I struggled with weight in HS. I am 30 now, and losing pregnancy weight, but pounds are pounds! I am on daily and am very dedicated!!

    through my teens and 20's i had all the energy in the world and nobody needed to motivate me to do anything i wanted to do... unfortunately working out wasnt one of the things i wanted to do though

    that was you but that doesn't mean that's everybody. 30.4 percent of teenagers are overweight, and 15.5 percent of teens are obese. Don't you think they would need motivation. js

    Good for you. I spent half my teens being depressed and feeling sorry for myself. Laughable in hindsight perhaps as having grown past it I can look back and see I was just another woe is me emo teen, but it felt very real at the time, and whilst I might joke about it now, motivating myself to do anything when in that state was anything but easy. And it's certainly not out of the ordinary. You =/= everyone else.

    YOU are extremely rude amann1976! This kid is on here trying to get help and you are being a complete bully. Last I heard, the MFP community is about helping and encouraging others. Not bullying them. Grow up. Act YOUR age... 36? Teen obesity is a serious problem. Everybody is here for help. If you're not willing to give it, move on. Don't write some rude condescending comment to make yourself feel better. That's just sad. Everyone is here for the exact same reasons. To be healthy and CHANGE their habits.
