    Run. Find a C25K program, build yourself up to being able to run for 30 mins, and then continue 3x a week. It requires the initial investment of some running shoes (highly recommend you go to a specialist running shop to do this) but from then on all you need is a spare half hour to burn a few hundred calories.

    Combine this with healthy meal choices and try to limit the damage you do with alcohol and you'll be able to achieve it.

    I only gained weight in my first year of university when I let myself believe I was too busy to exercise (but was certainly not too busy to eat!). Depends how much you want it I guess.

    Way back when I was in college, I would pack gym clothes in my backpack and run on the indoor track between classes (as there was always snow on the ground outside). I also took dance class as an elective. I wasn't overweight, but stayed fit by doing that. I'm sure your classes are not back to back. Like pp said, you have to WANT it!! Also, healthy food choices. Stay away from the curly fries and pizza.

    You got a lot of great advice here. I agree, you have to really want it. Its more about prioritizing your time than what to do. Sounds like you are already watching what you eat, and you understand what it takes to lose the weight. Now, you just have to commit. Best of luck to ya!
