I am 122 pounds, my stomach (measured around my navel) is 33", a 21% body fat should get me what I want.

I am female, and am 16 years old.

I've been nothing but honest. If you don't believe me, that's your problem. I am done here.

<t>Also, Clodhopper said something about "disappearing". Just to clarify - perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but I don't sit and browse through threads and forums.

<t>And why would I lack credibility? Not every 16-year old girl makes typos or uses 'LOL' or 'OMG' and emoticons in every sentence, you know. Or has her mind full of fashion and celebrities instead of other things I might have posted above. Also, if you're going to be suspicious, everyon...

<t>I seriously can't believe some of the replies I've gotten on here. It's completely and utterly ridiculous. One person thinks that just because they didn't have any weight loss/maintenance/etc issues when they were 16, no one else does either, ignorant of the fact that everyone is diff...

<t>I'm sitting down most of the day, BUT I exercise pretty much every day. Three times a week it's interval training on the treadmill followed by a brisk walk (one hour total), and the other three times a week is about one hour of strength training (and I make sure I use weights heavy and intensity ...

Thank you for your support. I doubt they would be proud of me, but I think I know that I've already made my choice.

P.S. I'm not sure if any of this will actually affect your response or not. For some reason, I don't see you as the type of person who cares about women's rights, child abuse, racism, or homosexuals.
