Hi! I'm only 15 and my weightloss goal is 100 lbs. My friends are all really skinny and love to dance and take pictures. I'm usually the one starting the music or behind the camera. My friends and prom are my motivation. I helped my sister look for prom dresses and started to look around to. I couldn't find a single thing I liked in size 20. I want to lose 100 lbs (or more) by my senior year. I'm a sophomore in high school so i figure 50 lbs a year should work. I want to be able to find a beautiful dress and hopefully be asked out to prom. My whole life I have been made fun of. No guys have ever liked me. I feel like at this rate, I'll be missing out on prom and my college experience will be me sitting in my single room doing work. I want my senior year to be a whole new me. I want to win the superlative for "Most Changed Since Freshman Year". I want a normal life full of fun and mistakes and heartbreak. So i started Jenny Craig. I just started my 3rd week and have lost 5.5 lbs. I hven't told any of my friends and I havent lost that much that they would notice. I feel like i should tel some of them but i thought someone would notice that i stopped buying school lunch and ordering in the them and instead I'm bringing in fruit and a small anytime bar. But i guess no one notices. I'm hoping that since I can find the strength to tell my friends, I could find support with teens who understand what I'm going through. Will any of you teens out there be my JCF (Jenny Craig Friends)?

Hey! My name is Lia and Im 14, its also my 3rd week on JC and I have lost about 5 pounds as well. My goal is to lose about 60 pounds before I start high school in August. I have been made fun of in the past like you, its not fun. I want to completely change before starting at a new school, a fresh start. I have had little success with guys and lowers my self esteem a lot. This is my first time posting on the JC forum. I have told only one of my friends about this and she is not very supportive....so I am also looking for a support buddy(:

I am not 15 years old...but I was picked on in school also. I wasn't picked on for being heavy, I was picked on because of my clothes. I hated grade school because of it. I think you both have a good chance at losing weight as long as you don't give up. It will be a hard struggle. You don't need to tell anyone either. I didn't tell anyone when I was on Jenny until I lost most of my weight. I wore baggy clothes so nobody would notice. I didn't feel like answering their questions or asking how much I lost this week. Just more added stress.

It will be great to lose the weight...but don't do it because the kids are picking on you..do it because you need to be healthy. It is great to learn all you can now so you can carry that with you the rest of your life. Keep a good attitude set small goals..and just do what they tell you to do and you will lose the weight. It wont happen over night so don't get discouraged...just come here for a quick lift

Oh and P.S. girls...all those kids who picked on me in school way back when are jealous of me now. So not to worry everything will work out!!

Hey I am 15 and have been on jenny craig for 21 weeks. I started out at 178 lbs but due to my constant cheating on the diet i am at 170lbs I really want to make it to at least 140 lbs. I want to be at my goal by June.
I really need a support buddy. I need to focus and have support because my house is full of JUNK and its hard not to cheat.
I would love to be there for you if you can be there for me.
Message me!

thank you so much for all of ur support. i have only lost 7.8lbs and its my seventh week. i just gained back a pound. two weeks in a row i only lost ounces. I CHEAT SOOOOOOO MUCH and my exercise consists of gym class and playing the AE Active one day a week. This other girl i know lost 12 lbs when i lost 6 and she was on it for a week less. She has less to lose so now i feel like im a failure. My selfesteem is consistantly down for multiple reasons. Many being school and other issues but this failure isnt helping. My parents make a big deal about the cost and keep asking my weight so they know im not spending their money for no reason. This other girl i was talking about is my inspiration in a way. I was walking in to my appointment today and her and this other senior i know were paying. They both look so good. Im hoping that every time i see them i fight the urge to cheat and gain the urge to exercise. I want to lose 100 pounds by my senior year (im a sophomore now) so i can look amazing at prom and hopefully find a date. This summer, i want to lose so much that everyone in school notices it. And they compliment me, not laugh. But i work at a camp. The good part is that i have A LOT of exercise. The bad parts are that i have no microwave or fridge and i have honest little campers saying YOURE FAT and embaressed counselors telling them to stop and making sure i dont cry. I need to lose weight. I WANT TO STOP CHEATING AND START EXERCISING!!!!

Hey girls, I am not a teenager anymore, however, I am only 22 and have lost 130 lbs in a little over a year. I was never picked on in high school (at least not to my face) but I know exactly what it feels like to be heavier than all your friends. The whole prom issue was tough for me too, I didn't have a date and had one of my friends ask one of her guy friends if he would just go with me so I wouldn't have to go alone. It was a horrible feeling. In addition, finding a prom dress was a miserable experience. When I graduated high school, I was still big, and continued to gain weight all throughout college. It took me until my senior year of college to make a change. I promised myself to lose 50 lbs by graduation, and actually lost 60. When I moved back home after graduation, I continued on the program until I lost 130 lbs and reached my goal. I know how hard it is growing up being big, and I hope you girls can be stronger than me and make the change now. I regret not doing the program earlier, however later is better than never, and I am so happy now. If you girls have any questions or need any motivation, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!
