Just wondering if there are any college athletes on here. I am 21 and have played womens rugby for 4 years now. Great workout but still trying to lose 25 pounds.

    I'm on my schools varsity crew team! I've been doing it for 2 1/2 years, and it's an amazing workout, but I took it as a license to eat whatever I wanted :/ now it's time to get back in athletic shape!

    I played college basketball when I was in college (I've been done since 2003) but I was never where I wanted to be then either. It was hard b/c you travel and don't always eat the best when you're running around with no time for anything. All the exercise you would think would counter act that but it didn't! I finally went on weight watchers to loose my inital weight. I'd say biggest things I learned was meal portions and to really try not to eat at least 2 hrs before you go to bed.

    i work out like crazy, but i guess it's not burning off enough. i will admit, the only time i have to actually make a meal is right before bed... oops! i guess i need to plan my days better.

    Ahhhh I always wanted to do crew. My school doesn't have it though too bad. Had to settle with rugby as a freshman and have grown to love it. Even got recruited for a couple of big league teams in the northeast.

    Still wish I got a chance to do crew though.

    I played golf through college which I cannot say is the most physically demanding sport out there but I will guarantee that it burns a ton of calories walking 7 miles with a 30 lb bag on your back. I initially was going to play both basketball and golf in college but that didn't work well with as much time that school took up as well.
