in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone!

I am looking for female college students out there who are looking to lose 5-25 lbs. I am a 20yr old female in college trying to balance healthy eating, working out, work, and school.... I would really like to make a few weight loss buddies who can help me along the way because my motivation is weak and many of friends only eat out so they are constantly making me go with them. I need to find someone who is in my same boat and can be a positive support!

Thanks!

    You can do it! I am a college grad student, and it is definitely tough sometimes to stick to eating healthy with how busy school gets sometimes. But it is possible! My goal weight loss is about 15 pounds, and I'm about halfway there. MFP has been extremely helpful in sticking to a diet. Good luck! Feel free to friend me :)

    Hi! I am in graduate school right now and have recently lost 20 pounds and have 30-40 more pounds to go. I understand how hard it is to balance school, work, etc. When I first started college I weighed 130lbs and gained over 70 pounds over the past 7 years....scary. So I am definitely looking for motivation as well! Good luck on your weight loss journey.

    I happen to be in a similar situation! I'm a full time university student and rarely have time to exercise and always seem to opt for eating fast food or eating whatever is in the cupboard (typically junk food). I've been using this site for over 2 months and have seen some results, but I could definitely be putting in more effort and time into getting more fit! It's tough work, but we can all do it! Feel free to add me as a friend and maybe I can be of some support!

    Hello! I'm a 21-year-old college student. I have been losing weight gradually over a few years (heaviest was 180, I'm now 134), but only recently started to buckle down for the last 19 pounds. I have lost 5 of those so far. I'd love to be of any assistance with support/questions/whatever. It feels sort of different when you don't have some huge weight loss goal, but at the same time the pounds come off slower toward the end. It's been really hard, so I totally understand!
