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!
