HEY guys =] soo i'm pretty new here [started my official diet on december 1st] and so far i am loving it. this website helps me sooosososo much and i'm soo glad i found it.

anyway, i'm definitely looking to make some weight loss friends here! feel free to send me a friend request, we could help each other out. but i'm especially looking for girls with similar stats/goals to mine!

soo about me, i'm an 18 year old female from the US. just about 5'4". my starting weight was 167 i believe and i've lost 2-4 pounds already. my goal is 125, or whenever i feel that i look good, fit, and healthy.

i am doing this the RIGHT way. diet and exercise. no serious restricting/starving myself. i do not feel that that works. after all, this is a lifestyle change. however, i am looking to do a cleanse eventually/soon.. soo if any of you know any good clenses that work, please let me know!

thanks so much guys! and remember that we can do this :D<3

PS; i have a weight loss tumblr, which is how i found this website. my username there is also perfectionxforever so feel free to find me and chat there if you prefer! thanks!

    stick with it and you wont have any real trouble meeting your goals!

    took me 6 months to lose 51lbs. i started at 205 and dropped to 154, my goal weight was 175 but that wasnt enough! now it doesnt matter to me what i weigh as long as i look the way i want to look. I do a lot of cardio but i also do strength training.

    ah yes, you're a little taller than me [i'm in between 5'3" and 5'4" but round it up cause i'm closer to 5'4" anyways hah] but our goals are almost the same! congrats on the weight loss so far! that must make you feel amazing and even more motivated! .. how did you do it? if you don't mind me asking =]

    ah thank you, i hope so! i mean i know you're a guy, but i see people (girls) on tumblr that are losing weight but it's because they're either purging or doing diets with EXTREMELY low-cal days and fasts that can last for up to 15 days! it makes me think, "oh no, i hope i can do this the healthy way and still get results like they are =/"

    but WOW congrats! ah you guys are motivating me so much =] 51 pounds in 6 months! goshhh i would LOVE that! lol did you change your diet as well as doing a lot of exercise?

    see the thing with me guys, is that i weigh 165 but i really don't look it. i mean i do in some spots, and could obviously easily be skinnier, but i've been an athlete [cheerleader/dancer/gymnast] my whole life. so i have a lot of muscle. it's just hiding under some layers of fat right now. hah when i used to go to the gym last year i'd do weights as well as cardio, but i'm starting to think that that was a bad idea. shouldn't i just do extreme cardio now to lose the weight THEN do weights if i need it to tone up? [although, like i said, i do have a lot of muscle so i'm not sure if i'm gonna need to "tone", just lose weight]

    thanks to anyone who can help me with that last question!

    yayy :D! awesome, i'm gonna go follow you back when i get on tumblr after i finish this paper =[ haha it's such a distraction for me that i have to close it when i'm working or else i never get anything done. lol :X

    but did you start on Dec. 1 to do that "december challenge" that's going around? .. that's originally why i started, but now since joining this site and discovering the amount of calories i need daily to function and stay healthy, looking at it i don't know if i could pull off those low calories/fasting [i don't even know if i'd WANT to do that.. lol] soo i'm still gonna do it, and weigh in and what not, but with my own rules. :P

    sorry if you don't know what i'm talking about haha

    yeah, tumblr is sooo distracting for me too, lol :( i'm trying not to go on as much now that finals are coming up and everything. :/
    and yup, i started for the december challenge. :D it's been kind of hard but i'm not going by the rules, like i don't want to starve myself, i just want to watch what i eat. :) i'm happy you're not doing it either! lol
