19 and trying to get motivated, as well! Everyone can add me too. :)

I have the same problem; I teach an extra curricular activity at a high school with a group of 16 teenage girls and I spend every Saturday taking them to their competitions where they all eat all the insanely unhealthy foods I crave all week.

One of my best friends recently told me a quote that helps me when I have cravings for things that would totally blow my calories; "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

I am happy that I lost the 13 pounds, I just wasn't sure if that was a normal rate of weight loss or if I was doing something wrong to prevent faster progress. Thank you for letting me know it is a good number for two months.

I read the thread... so very helpful! Thanks you so much for suggesting it; so many of my questions were answered.
