I'm 18 and just wondering who else is young on here? I'm not really overweight but I want to lose 10-15 pounds just to slim down and tone up. Hope you all are having a great day! =D

    I'm 20, if that helps, but I've been using the site on and off for two years. I'm not overweight, but I am also trying to slim down.
    Welcome!

    I just turned 23 and am not overweight, but wouldn't mind losing 10 pounds to get back to before marriage weight :) I often find it hard to stick to my calories b/c I'm not "unhappy" with my body so I let myself slack a little bit some days and haven't lost more than a pound or two since I started back on the website January 1st. Do you find it hard to lose just a few pounds since we "don't have much to lose?"

    Thanks for the welcome guys! and yes I do find it hard to lose weight when there isn't "too much to lose" because I slack just like you were saying and just a few extra things a day can really add up to a weight gain again. I find if I drink a lot of water that helps me feel less hungry but I have the problem of living in a house with people who are always buying junk food haha

    I'm 20-welcome! I'm trying to get my legs smaller, but i'm a gal where my hips and legs get fat first and thin last. I think with calorie counting, that can lead down a really dangerous path. when you don't have a lot to lose and you hit a plateau place, it's annoying and disheartening and sometime that's when you eat emotionally and gain, rather than losing. but we're all in this together!

    if you want encouragement/advice/whatever you can add me as a friend :smile:
