shannon A. traineo Newbie Posts: 17 shannon A. Hi I'm Shannon. I'm a 17 year-old student in high-school. I used to be very involved in rowing but quit in May of this year. I'm looking to loose the weight I gained plus a little more and become more fit. :) I hope to start rowing again during the next Spring season and I'd love to be in tip-top shape. I run almost everyday and lift light weights about every other day. I'm also an admitted chocoholic and I have no desire to be cured just learn to have more controle. ;)	# Posted: 1 Sep 2006 13:33 I have a question, I've heard that different people can have different body shapes but look very different because of the way they carry their weight. Is this true? I'm a seventeen year-old girl and my shoulders are wide in lenght by very thin in width. Sometimes I feel like a linebacker when I'm walking around. Does anyone else have this problem?
Delena Neves traineo Newbie Posts: 1 Delena Neves I am experiencing the joy and sorrow of starting life over. This time on my own, and although it is difficult and life seems to be in constant transition, I feel stronger and safer than ever to begin this jounrney again, and finish well. I am passionate about self awareness, connection, music, and people in general. This road promises to be harder than any so far (and that's saying something) but i am ready. and I am worth it. My life mantra is from Marianne Williamson, and goes like this... "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You're playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson	# Posted: 25 Sep 2006 06:54 hey there- yes, that is very true. my sister and i are both heavy, but because she is a rounder shape, she has always carried it worse and looked bigger than she was, where i have always looked lighter than i am. broad shoulders can be hard while you are young, but as you get a little older, you'll probably "grow into them" a bit. 15-17 or 18 can still be awkward, so give it some time. also, if you are self-conscious of them, look up fashion tips online about what tops are most flattering for broader shoulders. hope this helps. feel free to email me if you want. delena in seattle
