This is exactly what I'm looking for! I'm a second year music major
I don't have a scale yet but I can definatly measure myself.
Although I am 205 right now and I want to be at 1600 -
I'm a grad student in English, and you're all welcome to add me. I'm 5'3", and I had never been in a healthy BMI range until MFP (I just attributed to muscles and curves, which look even better now, btw) . I'm nearly at my goal of 130 (which was originally 135 because I thought there was no way it would happen). I prefer to play soccer, hike, and run, but I'm beginning to add in more strength training as well.0

I'm a senior Marine Bio major. I'm 23, 4'11 (so short! that's half the problem!) and currently weigh 130. My goal weight is 103 lb, because I used to be that weight before I had the terrible idea to take the Depo Provera shot... I'm 3ish months off it now and going to school plus working full time, and it is making it still difficult to get back to my ideal weight! I also am hoping to work out more and get into shape as well, so I hope I can find the motivation to make time for it. Feel free to add me!0

I think the daily life of a college girl is super stressful, especially if we're involved in a lot of clubs and whatnot. I know personally I am heavily involved with one club and it takes up a lot of time, as well as classes. I always try to find time to get to the gym, or even walk around campus a couple of times (my campus has a decent amount of hills and is pretty long when you walk all the way around it). I think it almost discourages healthy living in a way because we're always so busy that we barely have anytime to eat proper meals or eat anything that's good for us. It's so easy to go up to a vending machine and get a chocolate bar. Recently, however, my campus started installing "healthy option" vending machines that offer healthier options for people who want them. You can even check the nutrition facts on a little touch screen on the machine! I try to go to the gym right after my classes because that's when I'm the most energized and motivated!0 -
I'm in!
I'm not looking to lose any weight really, but gain some muscle. For the past two years I've been saying I want a 6 pack, even if its just for a few months, just to challenge myself. If I'm going to ever have one in my life, this would be the time! I'm REALLY bad about eating right/tracking my food, so maybe you guys can keep me accountable!
I'm 5'3" about 125 lbs, looking to be around 120 of muscle!
Oh yeah I'm 21 from Colorado, majoring in Zookeeping Technology. Feel free to add me!0 -
I weighed in at 162.3 this morning.
Definitely trying to work in work outs is difficult during college. Being on a budget (time and money wise) is difficult. Some days I don't know when I will get to eat lunch, let a alone what it will be (fast food or something healthy).0 -

My schedule is pretty easy. Class from 11-2, M-F. I don't have a job here, so working out between homework is fairly easy. I live alone so it's easy to go shopping and only have healthy food in my apartment. The hardest part was getting started.0 -

I've been pretty constant for the past month or so, staying in 154-155lbs. I think I'm close to my body's "set point" which is fine because I'm losing inches around my waist now.
Anyways, college. My schedule is pretty easy, but keeping up with all the work is getting to me. I'm often up pretty late trying to finish work that is due the next day. I procrastinated my whole freshman year, mainly because I wasn't really motivated about anything. Now that I've actually found something I'm willing to do for the rest of my life, getting into the whole homework/studying routine is kind of hard.
I think sleep is a key aspect to being healthy. I find when I get a decent amount of sleep I can stay awake through my classes and what-not. Working out is easier too and I'm way less stressed out. I think a college student shouldn't just be focused on studying and homework, that they need an outlet to relax. I have joined the water polo team and workout about 6 days a week plus volunteer and scuba dive. Kinda busy but it has kept me sane.
For food, I'm usually pretty healthy. But I also go by calories in vs. calories out which means I don't really rule out any food (save for meat because I'm vegetarian) I've been able to lose and keep of 45lbs and I still eat things like ramen, icecream, pop (diet), and stuff that I really enjoy. Portion is the key.
I always try to get my workout in and stay under my calories, it's what's kept me from gaining anything. Also, I drink tons of water which helps a lot. My only struggle right now is homework and keeping up with the rest of my classes while trying to find opportunities for experience my field (Marine Bio/Pre-vet), which has actually taken an up turn.0 -

I have class from 8-noon every day so not too bad and then i have soccer practice every evening for 2 hours. and a few games thrown in. THe hardest part i have is snacking when i'm bored and all my friends having candy and sweets around all the time that i want to eat hah. i struggle with binge eating too when i'm stressed or sad or bored. I am currently trying to overcome this. Also, I find that because I don't play in some of the games or get around 20 min in the game, I don't burn as many calories as the other girls and we always go out to eat after the games so i have to really watch my portions compared to others.0 -

My brain is going to explode 99% of the time.
Let me lay it out for ya: 18 honors credits, starting a non profit, teaching english as a second language on the side PLUS trying to keep my bod in rockin form
. Last year my schedule was pretty easy, I was about 7 lbs lighter and working out for literally like 3 hours a day. This year? not so much.
Monday-Wednesday-Friday:
Work 8:30-12:30
Class 12:40-4:50
Homework/quick meal: 5-5:30m then hop on a bus
6-8 Teaching English at the refugee center
8:30- 10 workout?
10-1or 2 am HOMEWORK grrr
Tues-Thursdays:
Class 10:00- 4:30
Dinner/homework 5-5:30
Nonprofit meetings/work 6-??? usually 9
Quick run 9:15-10:30, shower.... DRANK??? or study... unfortunately usually study
And weekends more homework and non profit work. plus my lovely significant other. But thankfully he's willing to deliver caffeine at all hours of the night.
It's so hard to stay on track- especially always on the run. I drink WAY too much coffee.... I LOVE the gym, it's the only thing that keeps me sane. I just honest-to-god have such a hard time fitting it in!0 -

College schedules are just crazy. There's always so much to do - I don't know how we all do it!
Speaking of which... I should probably get back to studying for yet another midterm...0 -

I used to think I was busy in undergrad, and I often used that as an excuse to not workout. Now that I'm in vet school, and have class 8 hours/day, I realize that I wasn't busy at all! And despite being way, way, way more busy now, I'm working out just as much as I was in undergrad. I think that it's really important to remember that it's about MAKING time for yourself and MANAGING your time well. It took me a few weeks to adjust to my new schedule, but now I'm quite adjusted. I'm waking up at the butt-crack of dawn (4am! YUCK!) to workout, because it's important to me. If it's important to you, you'll find the time. And I think that having this group will be a great way to encourage each other to find the time to exercise and find the motivation to eat right (which is where I tend to fall off the wagon...)!0 -
I love the idea of this group!

I am a senior majoring in hospitality management.
Being in college definitely makes it more difficult to stay healthy. It's nearly impossible to get a regular schedule. I am a full time student, work full time, and I'm the president of our hospitality management club at school. Work usually either starts at 7am or gets over at 11pm so my schedule is all over the place! Lately I have been doing a really good job fitting in 45-60 min workouts six days a week and I have felt so much better! I actually enjoy eating healthy food but I have a hard time with portion control. I also have a hard time giving up going out with friends on the weekends to control calories... I want to enjoy my senior year as much as possible!0 -
I would love to. I am majoring in nursing0

I'm living off campus this year and my apartment complex has a small gym/weight room so I've been trying to use it. However, late night homework is usually accompanied by late night snacking (binging).0 -
Hey Everyone!
