Hi, everyone!

I'm sure you've all heard it before: used to be fit, healthy athlete who then went to college, discovered the magic of late-night cafeteria runs, and gained the dreaded freshman 15 (and then some...)

It's been a few years since then, and although I've lost some of the weight, I'm just not where I'd like to be in order to feel confident and healthy in my own skin again.

My all time highest weight was 153. I'm currently at 140, and have been stuck here for several months. No matter how many attempts I make at losing the weight, I just can't seem to stay focused and motivated.

Summer's approaching, and I'm tired of failing. I'm convincing myself it will be different this time. I WILL lose the weight, and I'm hoping to make some friends/encourage/be encouraged along the way!

Hoping to share favorite recipes and exercises as well :)

Please add me if any of this either relates to you or you'd just like another friend! I love being supportive and cheering y'all on :)

    You can definitely add me. I'm in college as well and my hectic schedule with work and school makes it hard to work out/eat healthy everyday. But I'm determined to do it!

    Add me as well, I put on the freshman 15, every year. I'm graduating in May and I'm looking to lose about 50 lbs. I started in March and so far I've shed 12 lbs doing insanity. I'm highly motivated and love the support system her on MFP

    Lost most of it but stuck at the last 10 - 15lbs.
