So my name is Xanthia and I'm 17. I've always been a little bit weight conscious and I think that it started when I was probably around 10. My grandmother took me shopping and told me to suck in my tummy. Now at 17, I'm a lot more comfortable with who I am, but that doesn't mean that I'm always the healthiest. I'm getting ready to leave home and I'd like to live a better, healthier lifestyle. I'm currently enrolled in the Gold's Gym challenge and plan to show them how it's done. I currently weigh 172 and am 5'5". I am overweight by everyone's standards but I am beautiful and I'm not doing this to lose weight. I'm doing it to be healthier.

    Hi. I'm Chloe. We seem to have very similar stories and it's kinda nice to hear that I'm not the only one. I'm currently 18 years old, 5'3" at 170, and I have had the same type of shopping trips with my father as you had with your grandmother. I love that you have such a great attitude towards your own body, I would love to say that I am the same way but unfortunately I'm not always as confident.
