I don't remember being that way at 11. Then again, this is the myspace generation. I was already 16 or 17 by the time myspace first started gaining popularity (I'm 22 now). I mean, my little sister is 6 and my other sister, who is 19, used to take pictures with her making peace signs and puckering their lips in the mirror…

That's really great self control!!!

You have definitely earned the right to brag! 9 lbs is awesome!!!! Good job!!

You know, even if no one says anything, I think everyone can agree that losing 22 lbs is a HUGE accomplishment and obviously *you* know there's a difference in your body. So be proud of yourself and walk around like you've lost that much weight! With confidence. I bet people will notice then!

Four pounds in your first month is great. Please don't be discouraged. You're doing it the perfectly healthy way. Even if you were to only lose a pound a week for the rest of the year, you'd be almost 50 lbs lighter by 2010. But if you keep sticking to your diet and exercise routine, chances are you will see more than just…

You're doing a great job then!!!! The proof is in the pudding. :-D I can't wait to try on my old shorts that haven't fit in awhile. Congrats!!!!

Thank you so much for the information. I need to look up some of those exercises because I'm not familiar with them. I definitely appreciate it though. And if you've lost 34 lbs I should probably listen to you because you're doing something right! :)

Ok, like I said in my introduction post, I have a timeframe of about 6 months to lose only around 10 lbs. I'm 22, 5'8", and 137 lbs. I go to the gym everyday and I just started doing strength training along with the cardio I've already been doing. I want to tone up, primarly in my arms, thighs/hips, butt, and of course the…

Whoops. Posted this in the wrong place! Sorry!

Hey! I'm new here too. I am kind of a loner IRL as well, so I understand. I tend to keep to myself by choice though. The only real companionship I have is with my husband, but he's deployed for this entire year! When it comes to this weight loss thing, the support is definitely needed. I will be on here frequently trying…

Thanks for the warm welcome. I need to get a ticker on here, huh? It might look silly though because I've only lost a pound so far (haha I started at 138). I'm actually a Marine wife though. I'm very fortunate in that my husband is with an air wing and therefore at a "safer" base over there. And I get to talk to him pretty…

Thanks for all of the responses! You guys are right, I should be doing this for myself, and I am. I want to feel better about myself. My husband is about an inch shorter than me and 10 lbs lighter than me (he's just got a smaller body!) I think exercise and healthy eating has ALWAYS been his lifestyle, so he maintains a…

Hey everyone... I am 22 years old, 5'8", and 137 lbs. I just got married on New Year's Eve and my husband left a little over two weeks ago for Iraq and he'll be gone for a year. My goal for now is to get down to 125 lbs and tone up my stomach, butt, thighs, and upper arms. I'm not really overweight at all, I'm just flabby,…
