Hi all!

I'm a 21 year old social work and sociology double major, graduating this spring! I've used my fitness pal before, actually, I think I started logging when I was in high school. I've never really stuck with it. I've been struggling with some pretty serious mental health issues and the medication I was taking, along with the low mood and overeating, has skyrocketed me up to the highest weight I've ever been.

I'd love to meet some other university/college students who have a lot to lose (and maybe don't have a lot of money to do it with, which is always a struggle!)

Starting Weight: 250lbs
Current Weight: 250lbs
Goal Weight: 200lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 165lbs

    Hey! I'm a 25 year old graduate student. I've used MFP before as well but never stick with it. I used Weight Watchers in 2012 and was able to lose 40 lbs but the meetings just become so expensive. Now that my weight has skyrocketed in the last two years from 250 to over 300lbs I'm looking to start my weight loss journey again and stick with it.

    I'm 22 and currently 264, and 5'9". I'm a fifth year undergrad this year and have been trying to lose weight since I gained a ton my sophomore year. Because I am finishing school in March (but hoping to start a masters in summer) I'm really trying to get down to a good weight because I have a little more free time than usual to exercise etc. My ultimate goal weight is 168, but for now I'm aiming for under 250... I'll send you a friend request!

    Hi! I'm 23 and I'm actually going back to my community college this spring. I'm currently around 215 but my weight goal is 150.

    Everyone needs support! I find it easier with friends on here! Anyone can add me as a friend!
