Just wanted to say hello to all of the FT members since I just signed up today. I am a 17 year old female and am seriously ready to change my life for the better. Going into my senior year of High School, I realize that while everything else in my life seems to be peachy, the one thing that really matters (my self confidence)is very much so lacking. Now dont get the wrong idea, Im not one of those H.S. students who is 120lbs. and worried about their weight. No, that's not me at all. For now all I will say is that losing 50lbs is my goal. (even with my goal accomplished, I wouldnt be 120). Anyway, I realize that I am the only person that can actually do this for myself, but I would really like it if you guys/girls could give me some motivational words every now and then. It would be really appreciated. Good luck to all of you out there. Lets reach our goals together whether they be losing, gaining, or maintaining weight!!! Thanx alot --Chyna

Plus, you have youth on your side! I think you'll reach your goals in no time and it's a great thing that you start now on maintaining the body you were blessed with.

I was the same way..I couldnt get myself motivated. Then I started to read some of the posts,and decided to post myself. There are a lot of kind words on this site and a lot of motivational help. If it wouldnt be for these guys and girls here I would still look in the mirror every day and say "I should do something about this." and then sit in front of the pc till it was time to go to work. Finally, with reading on here and what was said in my post, I said.."I wanna see what I can get out of me!" and I have started.
Wish you much luck...I remember what it was like to be seventeen and low on the esteem.

Wow Chyna, you seem to have your head squarely on your shoulders much more than I did at 17. Good luck to you. If you stick around and stay with your program and goals, you'll really see positive changes.
