hi, im new to this whole posting stuff thing. but i'm kaitlyn, and i was reading on here, what you guys have going is pretty neat.i'm trying to lose some weight to. and it's good to know im not the only one out there that is unconfortable with their body. my best friend just recently lost about 30lbs and it showed me that its not impossible and that i can do it to. that was a real inspiration. but any tips on exercising & dieting, feel free to tell me. i would love to know. (:

i'd like to lose about the same amount.  so i can relate. but yeah, im 14 and i weigh about 170 but i hold it pretty well, i dont look like i weigh that much. but my doctor tells me im overweight. and i think about it alot and i've been trying a little bit and i lost about 6lbs. i was really proud of myself and i want to keep going. i'm really active with sports i play softball volleyball summerball. and im starting boxing soon, and im really excited for that. but the reason i want to lose weight is because i dont want to die at like 45 because of heart problems or diabeites. and looking slimmer is a plus too. i dont know how i came across this website but i started reading, and i really like what you guys have going here. it's great that you guy's are supporting everyone so much, and i wanted to join to get support and support other people to. but that's pretty much my story. what's your's?

Hey, I started at 170 as well! I had to take steroids for a prolonged period of time, so I gained quite a bit. Congrats on your loss so far! I bet the boxing will help a lot. What kinds of stuff are you eating?
I'm at 135-140...not quite sure as my scale is broken and I have been less than eager to get it fixed. I hit a snag and havent been as motivated lately; I'd really like to get to 120 in the end (I'm 5'4 and eighteen)

| yeahh, im sure the boxing will help. but i eat pretty healthy, i eat fruits and vegetable's. maybe not as much as i should but i do eat them. i try to stay away from sweet's and thing's that arnt good for me, but sometimes that dont work out so well. you started at 170 to? that's cool so you know what i'm going through. what did you have to take steriods for if you dont mind me asking? and how did you lose that weight?

Well, I had leukemia. I can give you all the gory details if you like, :P or we can stop there.
Well, I really turned my eating around. I have fallen back into bad habits currently, but I was mostly focusing on good portion sizes and having a calorie deficit. Are you counting calories?
I also walked on the treadmill and outside...A LOT! :P
