Hi! I'm a 19 years old. And I have this goal to lose some pounds before I turn 20. My teenage years were not really good. I can't wear clothes I wanna wear. I don't feel pretty and I feel pathetic everytime I see myself in the mirror. It's like Im seeing someone who is not me.

I've lost some weight before but gained it overtime. Now, I'm trying to have a healthy habit. And when I turn 20, which will be next year. I hope I can be more confident and happy.

    Hi. I remember feeling like how you feel currently when turning 20. The first step is starting and just keeping on going.

    I am 27 now I had reached my goal and maintained for a few years before gaining weight back due to lifestyle changes.

    It's a rollercoaster, numbers go up and down. The trick is to not be disheartened when the numbers go up.

    You will always have support for people on here. We all have the same goal.
