I just wanted to write you and say hey! I haven't figure out how to work my private messages so please email or IM me. The sn and address is below. I've been looking for a buddy to work with. Dieting, especially a hard diet, is easier to maintain when you have a buddy. Email me!

Hey, I'm a teen too! (im new aswell!). I've finished my induction, and because I've done this 2 or 3 times already I haven't lost weight as quickly as I used to which kinda sucks :( But in those 2 weeks I lost, 9lbs which is still good I guess. But I want to be slim for when I go to Mexico and Texas and for my ball at school!
Well I haven't got AIM anymore, but I guess I'll get it again.
See you guys later

If anybody is looking for a "mentor" or diet buddy, I did the LC thing during my senior year of high school. Unfortunately, I decided that I was hot stuff and went off it towards the end of the school year and gained it all back in college. I'm on it again though, and I can let you know what worked for me back then! Check my profile for my AIM name or you can e-mail me!

Welcome Lex and SportyChica...
We're glad you're here. I can tell you probably the absolute hardest part about this diet is eating with your friends and family... especially when you're in high school!
I remember when I did the diet in high school. I never ate the cafeteria food (because it was just gross) and that left the option of either buying stuff from the student store (which, before I started the diet consisted of Otis Spunkmeyer cookies and a 20 oz pop), going out (which was expensive... even if it was McDonald's), packing lunch (which I rarely did) or skipping lunch (which was common).
Your friends will challenge you and tell you you're ridiculous for going on this diet. Many will tell you it's unhealthy. Don't believe them. Unless they've got a PhD and have research to back it, they likely are just saying what they "think" they know.
Also, parents and siblings are very challenging. Most often, they will not conform to your way of eating. That means, you may need to go shopping with them to pick out food for yourself when they decide to order pizza or make spaghetti. In rare cases, a family member may ridicule you as well.
But as long as you're dedicated and determined, you can weather the storm of opposition and charge right on through to loss of fat and rise of energy!
Hope that helps inspire a little. You can always catch me at either of my AIM handles: Diverse007 or PurpleDawgz

I'm a teen, too (17). It's great to see that there are other teens doing this. My friends all seem to think it's stupid - they don't think it will work and they all say it's unhealthy. It'd actually be nice to get some positive remarks on my decision to change my life. I'd be happy to chat with anyone.

Hey, I'm also 17 now. I lost about 35 pounds LCing and I remember all the negative remarks and "opinions" I would get from everybody around me. Theyd tell me how great I look then ask me how I did it. As soon as I told them how they'd immediately jump down my throught saying how unhealthy it was and how a friend told them all the problems they had being on the diet and blah blah blah. At first it was pretty annoying but after a while I just learned to ignore them. But dont even pay attention to your friends... my friends said the same thing to me while they sat there eating a bag of cookies at the same time.

Yeah, my friends are like that too! Hi! I'm 16 and I just got back on the diet, I had done it for about a month and had lost around 15lbs... I went out of town and came off of it. Stupid me! I gained most of it back. But now I'm on it and I plan on it staying that way. Best of luck to all of you on your diet! :)
