Looking for support while I start my 2014 journey!

Hello everyone! I am only 19 years old, but have noticed to gain weight since I have started college. Its my first semester and already gained 10 pounds! Im a nursing major and find myself studying a lot! after studying the last thing i want to do is work out! Im looking to loose around 30 pounds to get the dream body that I have been trying to get for 2 years now!

Anyways, I'm looking to add people so we can encourage each other. Every time i try to diet, I give up after 3 weeks! so feel free to add me, I will support others in return (=

    Hi, I'm a lot older than you - 36- and pregnant with my third child, and trying to minimise weight gain at the moment! I did lose 70lbs after my 2nd child.

    I've been there with the studying. I'm a teacher, and my PGCE (teacher training in England) was incredibly hard and stressful - uni, working in a school, lesson planning, marking, meetings, essays for uni etc - and I found when I was on my first placement I didn't go to the gym to begin with as I was so exhausted, but once I'd got used to it, I started exercising again, and actually found the gym gave me more energy and I felt better.

    I work part time now and have 2 young kids, and even at 24 weeks pregnant I exercise 4 or 5 times most weeks. It definitely makes me feel better and I find I cope better with all the stress!

    You're welcome to add me. I've logged in for 550 days in a row now :smile:

    Hey, I'm sixteen and still in high school, I'm sure it's not the same but I get where you're coming from, School puts a lot of pressure on the body and the mind. I'm here if you ever want to talk, I'm new but I'm trying to stay active on here as well :)
