Hi, I am 17 years old and I weigh 222 pounds. Not only do I weight that much, but I have a huge hump below my neck. It's there because I weigh so much. I'm in constant pain every day because of my large hump, even now as I am typing this. I am not losing weight just for a passing fancy, I need to lose weight for my health. I would really like it if I could meet some people on here who could guide me, and maybe give me a few tips on what works for them. Thanks.

You can do it! I have a bad feeling you may soon be told that you are "too young" for this site, per the other poster's report. I don't think you're a child - you're a smart young lady looking for some help with your goals. You can add me as a friend, if you like 0

I am such a spaz. I'm actually 18. I had a recent birthday on the 20th. My parents and I forgot again, so I still feel like 17. But I am 18, so they can't delete me. lol0

By the legal definition, you are indeed a child. It's not a putdown. Also, you had to have provided false info to register, claiming to be an adult. There is a reason the site prohibits minors from using it, and you should respect it.I'm really here to lose weight sir. I need to. And this website really helps me. So please don't be rude.
I was nice enough to offer an alternative, designed for minors: sparkteens.com.0 -
Oh so clever. :laugh: :huh:I am such a spaz. I'm actually 18. I had a recent birthday on the 20th. My parents and I forgot again, so I still feel like 17. But I am 18, so they can't delete me. lol0 -

He's not being rude. It violates the TOS of this site to be under the age of 18. This site is for adults. He was *trying* to be genuinely helpful by recommending sparkteens.comI'm really here to lose weight sir. I need to. And this website really helps me. So please don't be rude.
And I don't believe for two seconds that you made a typo.0 -

She didnt make a typo...she and her parents "forgot" she had a birthday.
sheesh Lea!0 -
Yep. Everyone forgets when they turn 18...not as though they waited an entire adolescence for it or anything.
Wait, I think I saw this one. 16 Candles, right?0 -

You look old enough to be my mother, and for you to say that, i'm kind of disappointed. I would expect this from someone my age, but for a woman of your stature to do that....Wow. Thats just wrong Ma'am. The man who first commented was at least civil. But the other adults on here...WOW. I could see some of you being my teachers. It's okay to point something out to someone, but it's another thing to use passive aggressiveness and be rude. Looks like the older generation isn't as great as their made to be. I'm glad I was taught my manners, and that when you tell someone something, you say it in the proper way.0

You look like an adorable little baby, and I just wanna squeeze that cute little face! I have no idea who your response was toward, since you didn't quote the reply, I'm just sayin'.0

^^ AMEN! We have anti-bullying laws and adults can't even set the example for the kids!! I have kids her age on my bus, and here she is seeking out help. Did y'all forget what it feels like to be an overweight teen? Shame on the so-called "adults" on here!0 -

Actually, I can understand that...it's happened to me; maybe not at 18...but definitely when life gets hectic and the birthday comes/goes without the usual fan-fare... and if you filled out the initial app correctly (b-day, etc) then you are correct in the typo aspect...since the thingy does your age for you. Just sayin'.
(to all: please ignore the spelling, if incorrect, it is not my strong suit).0 -
At Brich and Robyn thank you for being understanding. You guys are amazing, this is the positive feedback I wanted. Not negativity.0
-
I can understand that she is supposed to be 18 to be on here. Not going to argue about that. BUT...come on guys. We are ADULTS and a lot of us understand how it feels to be ragged on and you are going to do it to a kid who is reaching out for help? Even if she lied about her age or typo'd it - whatever - do you really need to have that kind of attitude with her? -.-0

Hi. I'm Mercy from NJ. This is a great place to lose. Log everything you put in your mouth. Water is your friend, get use to drinking it. Don't waste your time on other beverages. If you need some frizz get a sparkling water that has zero carbs, zero sodium and no apartame. Eat clean (fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole grains), weigh ur food, get well rested and move. U will have a bad day, get over a start fresh the next day. Don't let one bad day become weeks or months. Get a buddy to workout with you. Find something you njoy. I love to exercise, don't feel right if I don't hit the gym. Eat your calories that MFP sets for you. Do try to stay under eat what they give u without going over and staying too far below. If you exercise you will be given more calories. Some will say eat back some will say don't. Eat if your hungry and don't if your not. Good luck on your journey. Stick with it.0
