My name is Sarah and I am new. I am in high school still and I want to lose about 90 pounds. I don't have much support thru family and friends so I thought I would give this a shot. (: I have tried everything, I need something to work. All this extra weight has been causing me a lot of health problems that I am too young to have. All the positive support would be amazing! (: Thanks.

    Hi Sara.

    Congratulations on your decision to try to get healthier! I have a daughter that is in elementary school and is overweight. I think about her all the time as a middle and high schooler doing her best to make the right choices and eating healthy even when I'm not looking. The trick to getting this to work is sticking with it and being honest about what you eat. You can find almost any food you put in your mouth in the food section to keep track. I'll be cheering you on! Tish

    Congratulations on starting on this path. You absolutely can do it, and you should be able to lose consistently because it's easier to do when you're young :) Another good thing about getting this part of your life under control is the good habits seep into other areas in your life too. I'm looking forward to seeing your updates!

    Welcome! I'm new too! So far counting the calories is not as hard as I thought it would be. Best of luck! I need a friend too since I just started my profile too :)

    Hi there,
    You can so do this. I wish I had as much courage as you do at your age. Then maybe I wouldn't have 100 lbs to lose. Keep it up and don't give up.
