Hi, I'm new.

I'm Iris, 16. Hmm I read some posts and everyone seems vair nice here but I didn't notice many people my age? I don't mind so much, but I just wanted to say hi and ask for any medical advice/support/etc. I lost 20lbs awhile ago and I'm trying to lose another 20 - 40 total for my goal weight. I'd like to do it soon because I know that as you get older it is harder for your body to kind of..retract? haha yes, that one.

I procrastinate a lot so hopefully reading the posts on here will help me not binge and inspire me in sorts. Mm. Yes, well, that is all, I just wanted to say hi & such :]

I just wanted to stop by and say hello and welcome. I dont' really think age matters when you are trying to lose weight and get your health back but I can understand wanting friends your age. So far I have lost 49 pounds. I'm a new diabetic and have been working on losing weight since september. I wish you the best with your goal. vickie

Hello Iris, I think you will like this forum I am a newbie to and I have receive lots of support so far and you are right about losing weight when your young because when I was young I could lose weight easy and fast but now its like pulling a tooth so keep up the good work and get it off now and that will save you the trouble later.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
