Returning Member in Need of Motivation!

Hello, everyone!

I have been a member of this site for years and have had success in the past using it. However, I went off to college and started working two jobs and ended up not using this site anymore. In consequence, I have gained weight and I'm dying to lose it again!

I have currently graduated and am working 2 full-time jobs, but I am determined to make it to the gym a couple times per week and also eat healthier. I would love to have some more friends in the same dilemma so that we can help motivate each other!

Good luck to you all :)

    Congratulations on your recent graduation! It sounds like you have quite a busy schedule! There are definitely of lot of other users who share your desire to stay fit with limited free time.

    Glad to hear you had success in the past using MFP. I have no doubt that you can have success again!

    I just returned this week as well! Added!
  • I am in the exact same position as you! Since starting college, it's been difficult to watch what I'm eating and as a result, I gained back almost 15 pounds. I'm determined to get back to where I was before and go even further. We can do this!

    I'm the same way! University and exams have gotten in the way recently, but I'm ready to start putting my health first again. Adding you :)

    Welcome back! I just started back again today too, and I'm looking for some buddies, so I'll add you! I feel like our situations are similar. At one point, I'd lost about 40 lbs, but the last year of college I gained about half of it back. I'm in graduate school now, with a bit more free time- and I'm determined to lose the weight and keep it off this time! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!
