Share Your Story.

There are quite a few teens who kind of "lurk" this forum without posting but many of you are such a motivation to them. I figure most of the teens here either attend high school/college so if you'd like, please go ahead and share your story about how this WOE has effected you in school. Was everyone shocked at your return from summer, had to fight off any temptations during lunch or after school activities? Noticing more attention from the opposite sex?

I'd share mine also however sadly I hadn't lost most of my weight prior to finishing school. Personally for me most of my friends and family were more worried about me. After seeing I had lost weight so quickly thanks to this WOE they figured I had either developed some sort of condition or was using drugs! That second reaction was rather amusing as i've never touched drugs in my life and don't drink either. But I'm sure many of you especially those of you in high school have heard that one. So please share your stories, they will give motivation to many others I'm sure!

Thanks 2Big! While you're here, share a story with us heh I'm sure you've gotten some weird comments from some people throughout your loss.

I'm homeschooled.
So I can't really say. Heh n.n

when hearing comments from my people it just amazes me. even teachers are starting to notice (because usually they are afraid to make a move that would overreach their personal boundaries) so Im still losing during school. My school eats nothing but junk either. In n Out trucks lining up and kids just eating. hehe. but this is working for me. and im happier.

Well, i'll share a little bit...I've always been fat all throughtout middle school and high school...I took some time off before going to college and it was when I lost a lot of weight about 55 pounds :yikes ...So far it's been really weird, i'm still not used to it. I started getting a lot of attention from guys heh there a lot nicer when they think your cute. I had a little jealousy from one of my friends but she got used to the new me. Two of my old all time crushes from middle school and highschool asked me out on dates. (To late though lol). I did get asked whether I was on drugs twice hehe. Then I had a really nice comment from a guy who worked at the local grocery store...he stopped me and told me "i'm sure you hear this all the time, but your really pretty". I was blushing like crazy hehe...Loosing weight does help a lot with you self esteem, just don't get full of yourself afterwards lol. I still have about 20-25 pounds to go but am sort of on maintance for now until I clear up some health issues. Hopefully I'll be ok soon and going down on the scale once again. I wish the best to you guys. Oh and 64oz you look great, I've seen your pics...nice arms.

I've never posted before so i just thought I'd give it a try. I've been on atkins for about 5 months now. I started at about 250 and am now at 210. It feels good to get compliments, but im still about 40 pounds away from my ideal weight.

[BikerGoddess]

Howdy and welcome! 40lbs is fantastic and you should definitely be proud. You'll make the last 40 in no time.
