Hey there! I'm 22, and I've just started my weight loss plan, too. I eat pretty healthy (haven't gone to eating clean yet, alas), but I love to exercise and I'd love to chat if you ever need advise or support! You can do it!

I'm 5'4" and about 165 atm. Size fourteen. I carry all of my weight in my belly and thighs, ack.

Funny enough, those are the exact bars I packed for my breakfast!

I'm absolutely talking about those dole whips. My mom doesn't like them (she prefers getting a chocolate chip ice cream cone on Mainstreet) but I loovvee them.

Thanks for all the advice, guys! I'll definitely log my walks, and I'll see if I can't do some research on portion sizes and calories of planned meals before I go. I just dread coming back from a week and finding all my hard work thus far gone down the drain! It sounds like maybe I was worrying a bit too much :)

D'aw, not too much meat on him, I'm sure! And I hear they're hard to catch~

Pretty eyes, cute face shape!

I don't think mom and pop would approve ;) Lookin' good, though!

A bikini and a rabbit! That's right, I'm rewarding myself with a rabbit. I can't wear it, but at least I can cuddle it!

I won't die if I don't step on it every day (my mother weighs herself religiously every morning, and often complains about how she gained a pound…

Also remember that if you're used to big meals, your stomach is getting used to the change and more reasonably sized portion, so it's normal to be a teeny bit uncomfortable... But you shouldn't be hungry all the time! My first week of dieting was very hard for me, and part of that was because I have Binge-eating disorder,…

I don't know about the "science stuff", I can only give advice based off of what I know... And that is that I have felt a whole lot healthier and looked and felt a lot less tummy bloated after I gave up diet soda. I used to drink soda to curb my sweet cravings: I could go through a liter of diet mountain dew a day. I just…

I'm 22, and hoping to lose around 40 lbs. Is that close enough? ;)
