Looking to lose that freshman 15...

Hey everyone :) I've used MFP off and on (with different accounts, I can never remember usernames/passwords) throughout the years but I'm trying really hard to stick with it, so I thought posting in the community section would help!

I'm looking to have a weight-loss buddy because no one in "real life" is looking to lose any weight! I'm a 22 year old college senior and I want to lose all of the weight I've gained in college (about 20 lbs or so). This journey isn't as much about losing weight, but it's about being a healthier and happier person. I don't want to just use this to watch my calories but I want to use this as a stepping stone to help me live a much healthier life :)

I work full-time, take 16 credits at my college and volunteer at a nursing home, so I'm always a little short on time- but I'm going to try my best to hit the gym and stay active! Is there anyone else on here thats looking to lose about 15-20 lbs of stubborn weight within the next few months? I'm going on a big trip to Ireland in March and want to look my best to find a nice Irish man :blush:

    I have the happy marriage weight plus baby weight to lose. I am hoping our close age helps with that. My goal is closer to 30lbs but I understand the short on time and occasionally needing quick meals.

    I wish you the best of luck, feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me! I've gotten off about 3/4 of my freshman weight, and a semester and a half to lose the rest. Trying to leave school a better person than when I came in!
