Teen girls trying to lose

Hey guys! I was wondering if we could have a motivational group for teens who are trying to lose weight!

I will tell you my story!

Over the course of 2012-2013, I gained 17 pounds and was 189. As of April, I had gotten down to 171 pounds. Now it seems like a roller coaster where I can't stay at that weight or down to my goal of 155. I feel like I eat too many carbs, and that I give myself a break, and then go off the scale completely. I am obsessed with my bagels and Dunkin coffee. Can anyone provide support who is feeling the same way!?

    There is a different site I think its called spark teens or something like it. This site if for adults 18+ so if you are under that and looking for a motivational group for your age you're on the wrong site hun. You will probably get a lot of negative comments from members who like to see the 18+ rule strictly enforced.

    But just to give you a boost in the right direction as far as your roller coaster its not all carbs, its what you eat and the amount you eat. Weight loss is 80% diet 20% exercise so If you are loading up on bagels and sugary drink you are going to hit a wall and gain. If you can't give up your dunkins try ordering from the menu with the little green man, smarter choices. Healthy choices, appropriate portions, raised activity levels.

    There are actually alot of teens on here. I know Ive used this website since seventh grade and I am a junior now. Ignore the negative comments from adults if you get any. "Adults" dont put younger people down or anybody for that matter. Spark teeens has pretty much died out. I love this website and I look forward to supporting you!
