Welcome!!! (Introduce Yourselves)

Hi college girls!!! :)

Excited to get to know each and every one of you. My name is Loretta but you can call me LoLo/LoBear/LoJ...I have a host of nicknames. Most commonly known as LoLo though.

I created this group because I know for a FACT that I am not the only college girl out here who is desperately wanting a change in the outer body image. Not necessarily because I don't love who I am...I LOVE who I was created to be but I will feel even better knowing that I'm both healthy and looking GREAT on the outside.

As a college student, there are so many things you want to do and sometimes weight can hold you back. Especially going out seeing all the other girls dressing so pretty and strutting around without a care or worry in the world. We too deserve that same chance.

So I thought this would be a great support group for all the college girls out there trying to make a change in their image for the better and happiness of themselves. This will be a fun journey!!!!! <3<3<3 I'm here for EVERYONE!!!!

*Don't forget to introduce yourselves*

    My name is Brittany and I'm in my 6th year of college at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. I've earned a math degree, will soon complete an accounting degree, and then I will continue on to grad school. I miss my swimming days in high school, when I knew I could walk into any store and find clothes that fit great on me. Now I avoid dressing rooms and mirrors.

    I work at a Fortune 500 company that has a fitness center in the building with great group exercise classes - I'm currently sore from two that I took earlier this week. :) My best friend, who should be joining MFP soon, is going to join me in committing to do Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 DVD.

    GIRLLLLL!!!! You gotta be on my team. I feel like you are my twin right now. We have the same CW & GW and those statements you made about your boyfriend...I can relate. My boyfriend doesn't know I'm on a weight loss plan. I've told him about mines in the past but I've always FAILED at them. So this time I just want to surprise him by letting him see me get sexier and sexier right before his eyes LOL!!!! Ohhh I'm so excited! YAY!

    Hello! Happy to find this group!

    I am 22 in my first year of medical school. Undergrad has been tough on me as I gained a lot of weight that I'm looking to lose! I ordered the 30 Day Shred and am waiting for it to come in the mail so I can get started.

    Hey everyone! I'm glad to have found a group related to being a college girl! Although I started a little earlier than some of you, or maybe even a little later... I'm glad to know we all share a healthy weight loss goal together!

    I started back on April 30, 2011 at a weight of 189... My boyfriend had been losing weight about three/four months prior to me (January). As he got better looking, I got worse... and I was tired of feeling lazy and out of shape and just plain ol' gross! I took a huge plunge out of no where and found this site. This site is what made me lose 34 pounds. I counted calories, and I exercised as regularly as possible. I'll be honest though. These past few months I have been slacking. What with going to college... I can't afford those healthier options so regularly... :( I'm always bouncing around from 155-160... at one point I was at 153... I want to go back there and stay there! Then continue to my ultimate goal... to reach 140! I want to just know what I look like underneath all this layer of fat.

    I'm proud of what I've done so far, and I really hope to continue!

    I am so loving how so many of us want to get down to 140! A magical number wouldn't y'all agree?

    140 is the place to be!!!! :) It's good because all of us can work around some of the same methods to help get there.

    This site has given me so much hope but the urge in me to create this group has given me even more hope because now I have a group of girls who are my age that can work with me and help hold me accountable to my word and goal. I have never been so excited. This is a great group!!!!! ALREADY (And its just DAY ONE)

    I must agree....undergrad is true to its word of freshman 15, 20, 35...whatever number! Its so much harder because all they have to offer you is pizza, hamburgers, french fries, and sweets pretty much every day. I was at a big university but I've transferred back home to a community college so this will be a great thing for me. Being home and being able to eat healthier.

    Hi everybody!! =)

    My name's Sandra. I'm 22 and a student at Riverside Community College in California. I recently finished up my undergrad but I'm back in school for training as an interpreter and also to get more credits for when I apply to grad school. I really just want to feel healthier but I'm really out of shape so I'm kind of taking it slow at the start, but I'm excited to get to it. Also, being able to fit into my skinny jeans again would be a plus!

    My school made all freshmen get an unlimited meal plan, which means all the food you want, whenever you want. Since school was in a city, there were so many restaurants and cafes to go to as well....UGH, I wish I could go back and tell my freshman self to calm down!!

    But yes the magical 140...it can be done!
