Hi every body!

I have joined this program a while ago, but I have never had the motivation to stick to my diet plan. I went through a bad break up a couple of months ago, and ever since then I have been gaining a lot of weight. I am a 23yr old student, studying in a very intensive program. Pretty much all I do with my time is eat, sleep and study!
This time I want to love the weight for real! And I could use as much support as you guys are willing to give me!
I have a good 35lbs to lose

Thank you for reading this

  • Sounds like you have a really tough schedule! But you can do it! Getting involved with the boards and community here makes a big difference. What are you studying?
  • More than happy to offer you support and encouragement we all need it so if you would like to add me please do.

    Hi MaryG9,

    I completely understand and would love a weightloss buddy. I am a 29 yr old teacher who is also enrolled in a masters program. I am doing my best to lose 36lbs by next June. Please feel free to contact me :)

    You should take all that emotion and channel it into dieting and working out. Working out will curb your eating big time too.

    Add me if you want.

    Hi. I'm a 40 year old wife, mother of three and accountant. I've been yoyo dieting for years, and am ready to get serious about being healthy. I need to get back on track, learn to exercise consistently, and stop putting others' needs before my health. I have trouble saying "no", and put myself and my needs last. The time to change that is NOW!

    Hey there, I just turned twenty four and although I'm not a current student, I know what it's like to feel like you do not have the time to take care of yourself. Feel free to friend me for support :).

    Also, I recently read a book called Secrets of a Former Fat Girl, and the woman who wrote it started her major weight loss journey while she was in college, crammed with late night studying and junk food. It's a good, quick read and has some great inspiration points (and I promise I'm not advertising LOL.)
