Hi everyone! In my past two years on MFP, I've lost 100lbs. I've been sloppy since summertime, though, and I feel like I've gained 20lbs back. I am scared to step on the scale.

I am restarting my weight loss today and am looking for some friends to share the journey with! Like I said, I've lost 100lbs during my initial weight loss period so I would love to share some tips with newer MFP members out there!

Feel free to add me! Let's do this! :happy:

    I still have a 100 pounds to lose and I started MFP 2 weeks ago. However I'm a college student as well. You can never have too many friends/supporters

    I'm in my third year of college - I'd love to receive some more support and vice versa.

    Feel free to add me!
  • I'm in my second year of college. I've been on and off. The rare times I've lost a significant amount of weight - well, I liked it. I finally felt comfortable, and I want to get back to that.

    Thank goodness for support networks! We can do this. ;) Feel free to add me, fitness buddies, real or virtual, are always great to have.

    I'm currently a sophomore in college. I've lost 16 pounds in the last 2 years. I still have 5-10 more I'd like to lose, but I'm taking a break to maintain my current healthy weight. :)

    Good luck! I'll add you.

    I put on about 10 lbs over the course of 2013, but most of the weight has been since Fall when I returned to school. I have not had a problem with weight gain until recently. I maintained for a long time!

    I added you as a friend. I'm in my last semester of university. I just started a couple weeks ago and so far so good, but I have a long way to go. I need friends as well so anyone else feel free to add me :) I have about 90 lbs to loose so a long way to go but i'm motivated.

    I did really well on MFP after my undergrad and lost 30 pounds but as soon as grad school started I put 20 back on. Eek.

    :grumble:

    Right there with you. Congrats on your loss and best of luck with your continuing endeavors.
  • Hey there!

    I'm also a full-time college student, I'm 5'3" and 180 pounds, I could really use some support and like minded people to talk to! Send me a message :)
