in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone ! Im 17 and loking for a motivational friend. I know what you are all thinking shes only 17 and not allowed to be on here... BUT what is a girl to do ! Ladies you know what im talking about when i say you struggle with your body image when you hit a certain age. Im cyber schooled so I dont really move around much besides work and the town I live in. I recently have started eating better in the past week and excercising for an hour 1/2 and in a week ive lost 5lbs ! Im just looking for someone who can help me with my movivation and I could help them back ((: I used to weigh 168lbs and im 5'3" I went through a really hard time in my life and lost about 26lbs and I wass in the 140's then gained 10lbs back. Ive been stuck in 150lbs for a few months now and like I said i recently lost 5lbs in the past week so now im 145lbs. I need someone who is going to need me as much as I am going to need them.

    I agree anyone should be able to ask for help with weight and teenagers are no exceptation to the rule. when it comes to what people think it doesn't matter what they think. the journey is about you.

    Welcome to MFP! I'll be honest, I don't care how old you are! I really think that of all the places to seek weight advice the community here will definitely help you build a healthy appreciation for fitness without going overboard and crashing and burning.

    I really felt drawn to you specifically because you stated that you are cyber schooled. Wow, things have changed in the last 10 years. :-) I was homeschooled from 3rd grade through graduation, but all mine was done via correspondance where I mailed all my school work in to be graded. But I really do understand how that situation can make you sedentary and gain weight because you're certainly not as active as if you were running from class to class.

    If you really want support, feel free to add me. I have over 100lbs to lose because of bad decisions, so I would love all the encouragement I can get! :-) My ticker doesn't seem to work, I have actually lost a total of 20 lbs in the past month, so I am happy to be making progress.
