    @lilybean17- yep i definitely need to turn beast mode on. I'm so unmotivated and so ready for summer school-wise hahah but I still have about 6 more weeks to get through!
    @kristen3112- for some reason i have had an obsession with peanut butter banana sandwiches or wraps microwaved..idk why haa so i have been eating those and tuna and crackers a lot lately
    @edemaknn and MissDwood- Good luck!! You can do it! Just stay motivated.( sounds easier than doing , I know haha)

    Hey I'm new here but I'd like to join this group...I'm a 2nd year college student in London England and it's impossible to eat anything that's not really unhealthy and gross in my college cafeteria. It's a pain because my degree means I am usually there from at least 10am-6pm usually more. Only started this weight loss/fitness program a couple of weeks ago so this will be a great way to kick it off.

    HW: 141
    CW: 139
    8 week goal: 128
    GW: 114

    Hey I would LOVE to be added to this group! I weighed myself yesterday at 210lbs, UGH! I started going to the gym 2 days ago and began my diet. I am a junior in college, plus I work overnight shifts... sometimes from 11pm-3am or 3am-7am. I feel like a lot of my weight gain is because of irregular or not enough sleep hours. I applied to work days for summer and next fall though :) I find it difficult to eat in the cafeteria, but luckily my school has a subway on campus where I've started having dinner at. I'm just fed up with being overweight, enough is enough.

    SW: 210
    GW for 5/18: 180

    Hey girls,
    I'd like to join in on this as well. Just started using MyFitnessPal and it would really help to have motivation from those around. Here's a little about me. I'm a junior going on a senior in college. I'm generally active over the summer with biking, ultimate Frisbee, and hiking, but jumped from 119 to 135 over the last 7 months. I've never been huge on dieting or exercising, but it looks like I'll need to! I'm a vegetarian and live off campus with my parents, so I normally get full fledged meals.

    Starting Weight : 135
    8 Week Goal: 125
    Goal Weight : 120

    I'm going to Florida at the end of May and would like to enjoy my body again in a swimsuit!

    I'm terrible. I seriously have had the same thing for breakfast every weekday since the beginning of fall quarter haha same exact omelet and a mini bran muffin. If I make oatmeal on the weekends, I try and find new toppings once I get bored of the old ones. RIght now is a teaspoon of peanut butter in my instant maple oatmeal :)

    hey girls =) it'd be awesome if I too could join your group. I literally just came off the scale and i'm CW: 135.4 I guess i'll set my GW:125 for the 8 weeks. I'M SUPER NERVOUS =| i can NEVER stick to my diet or exercises!

    Well I'm 21 and this is my 2nd semester in college, this is do to going to school for cosmetology and working for a year before i decided I wanted to go back to college..haha. I live at home but that's not much different from dorming, my parents and I have totally off schedules so I tend to make my own food...or should i say buy? I have a busy weekend coming up that involves a lot of crap food...wish me luck..

    So how do you guys deal with a binge eating night?

    I've been doing well. Eating less. Not being as hungry through the day and keeping up with exercising. I've felt great and happier with myself. Tonight a group of friends went out for burritos. Not just any burritos. Monster sized. With sour cream, guacamole, potatoes, rice, beans, cheese, frickin everything. Between the drive and the cost, the burrito was 16 dollars.

    How could I let it go to waste?

    I ate the entire thing, and then rolled around in pain for the next three hours as my stomach wanted to reject it. I probably ate more food in one sitting than I do in two days.

    Now I feel gross and like I will never bounce back.

    So should I just not eat tomorrow and exercise like crazy, or just go back to my normal routine? Sunday is my 22nd birthday. I know this weekend is not going to be nice to my goal weight.

    obviously not eating is never a solution lol exercise like crazy for a few days and you should be back to normal soon. BUT EAT!!!!!! :)

    a binge every once in a while is not the end of the world. in fact, i'm kinda jealous you were able to do it lol

    @kaleas- i know how you feel about that! My friends are always getting fast food and stuff and for some reason they are all slimmer than me!!! haha well, i know why because I tend to binge eat too..but try not to let that one slip up turn into another one day after day. Stay on track.. just log it, exercise more for the next few days, but don't kill yourself over it

    I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday too! Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal mixed with nonfat Greek yogurt. I try to mix it up with different flavors of Greek Yogurt (it's worth the extra 20-30 calories!) but I find it an easy routine to stick too. For dinner, if you can get access to a kitchen, a stir fry is super easy to make, I don't even make rice anymore, I just load up on veggies and some tofu, throw that with a little bit of oil in a pan, mix in some hoisin sauce in the last couple minutes, and you've got the world's easiest dinner. The leftovers keep well and it's ready in 20 minutes. You can mix it up with different meats and veggies, the possibilities are endless!

    One day late on the weigh-in (spring break has made this whole weight loss thing kind of a bust), and I'm at the same as last week. 167.3lbs. I'm just glad I didn't gain what with Dairy Queen being open, Girl Scout cookies getting delivered and all that.

    yes i agree etpx3, where is everyone?? lol
    what do all you girls use for motivation? Sometimes, i go on these binges where I don't even know why I am eating and feel extremely guilty afterwards and then it's really hard to get back on track. Is there Anyone else here that has this problem too?
