Hello everyone! I'm Kendra! I attend PGCC in Maryland. I'm just looking to shed off the pounds before they be there forever. Also to make a healthier me since I'm afraid of needles and don't like taking pills. So I figured it is about time I lose some weight and embrace a new healthier lifestyle.0

Hey! I'm Mel. I'm 22 and going to be finishing up my Master's degree in May! EEK! Then it's job time. Oh, and I go to school in NJ. I have a ton of health problems which makes losing weight all the more difficult. But, alas, I keep chugging along.

Hi Ladies! My name is Toni and I'm also in my last year of grad school. I attend the University of Louisville and plan to graduate in May! I've had an MFP account since last year, but have only recently started using it regularly. I would love to have more friends on the site to support and who might support me in turn! This process isn't really about dieting for me. I'm more invested in making smarter choices for myself. I'm happy to meet y'all!0

Hi,
im 20 and in my second year of university in ireland and im studying psychology!! think this group is such a good idea as the college lifestyle definitely does add extra obstacles to weight loss!! between rushing from class to class, having to cook and manage all your own meals & food budget to essay deadlines!! and of course not forgetting the parties and odd drink
Hope we can all support each other and get to our gw! mine is 140 too!! must be something about it! 0 -

Hello! DOn't know if I count as a college student, but I'm going to start community college this fall. After I get my bachelor's degree, I am transferring (hopefully) to UCLA, USCD, or USC to study film and costume design.
I am 18 years old, 114 lbs, and 5'5". When I tell people this, they say it doesn't sound like a lot, but I have a very small frame and people guess that I am 130-140 based on looks. I'm not really going by weight here, though - just looks, energy, and strength! I'll post photos on my profile. I don't have a goal weight. I just want to get rid of my cellulite and look good in shorts. But I definitely don't want to go below 102 lbs.
I have a thing called Beal's syndrome which is similar to Marfan's syndrome but without heart or eye problems. Aside from losing weight, I want to make my arms bigger and more muscular because I'm tired of the "are you anorexic?" comments based on my arms followed by "oh never mind" when they see my stomach.
I am going to Australia at the end of January and since it is summer there, I want to be confident wearing a bikini. I also want my ideal body by the time I start college Wow, I wrote a lot. Hope I didn't bore you all! haha.
My biggest troubles are: waking up early (I am homeschooled, so I sleep in until 11), late night snacking, "nibbling" on random foods throughout the day when I'm not hungry, self-control, and sugary foods (when my mom brings home Nutella, I always gain a pound). For exercise, I am going to do 1 lap of walking lunges around my block.
My plan is to drink 3 fruit/green smoothies a day as meal replacements and no snacks
This is rather long, so I apologize and will end here. I'd love to get new contacts on here who are interested in similar goals (or different ones).
It's nice to meet you all. I hope reach your goals!0 -
Hello! Happy to find this group!

Hi doll, of course you qualify for this group! I know what it feels like to gain weight by being at home. Over the past year I was taking online classes and I sat on the sofa with my laptop A LOT lol! i think only have smoothies isn't sucha hot idea. its a great idea it is, but you need "real" food as well. I think that having a smoothie for snacks is great or b4 a workout. But for breakfast you should have carbs, like some oatmeal. for lunch you could have like a tuna sandwich, with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. or with fresh squeeze lime with water (can take this anytime and it is GREAT for fat loss) i think thats what your looking for more --->fat loss. Bc thats more imp than weight loss as a whole for you. If you need any other food ideas, like quick meals let me know, i started cooking my own food a lot since i started losing weight
For exercise walking lunges are great! so are squats! they are like the kings of exercise! i go down to the library and get exercise dvds like Jillian Michael ones, tae bo, etc. taking a walk around the block is good too good luck! 0 -
Everyone be sure to add me as a friend!!!!! I'd love to speak with each of you individually and get to know everyone better. I love meeting new people. It's one of my greatest passions. 0

Hi everyone My name is Ariel. I go to the University of Memphis and am a second semester Sophomore. I also dorm (in a building with no kitchen, only a microwave in each hall) which doesn't always bode well for the healthy eating or eating at all for that matter! I have been severely overweight for as long as I can remember. I don't really have an UGW in mind, I just want to get to the point of being healthy and fit! 0

Hey guys, I'm Kat and I'm in my fourth year at Georgia Tech and I'm really happy that I found this group. Hoping it will help keep me accountable
I work 20-25 hours a week on top of being a full time student in a very sleep depriving program and so my main issue is planning ahead and not eating food from the coffee cart and actually cooking meals ahead of time. Also, learning to keep my sweet tooth in check is one of my goals.0 -
Hey,
I'm Sophie, Sophielia is a nickname given to me at school lol I am a UK student, in my final year studying Journalism. I desperately want to look amazing for graduation, and I'm hoping the support I receive from groups like this will help me! I'm one of those people who really enjoys losing weight with other people and sharing tips, exercises and words of encouragement.
CW - 147lbs
GW - 115 lbs
I know it seems like a drastic weight drop, but I'm quite short and this is still a healthy weight for me. Also, I see other girls who weight 130-140lbs and look amazing (my housemates, for example), but even at 130lbs people would guess I was around 11stone, I'm not sure why but I put weight on in the most horrid of places!
I guess moreso than having a goal weight etc, I just want to be healthy! I want to be that girl that all the other girls are like "how did you get that figure?!" I used to be really in shape, and then I started smoking and eating unhealthily and it all went downhill.
So far it's been 8 days without a cigarette, and 9 days without chocolate
Good luck, I'm always here if anyone needs support!

Hey everyone!!
My name is Keia and I'm a third year at the the University of Virginia studying systems engineering. I'm really glad to have found this group. I was just thinking how I don't want to fall back into my bad habits when I get back to school in a week.
I recently auditioned and was hired as a group exercise instructor at my school! So I'm super excited for that. I would describe myself as pretty fit, but fat. My thing is that I exercise often and eat pretty healthily but then I also tend to overeat and binge because of stress, basically undoing all the exercise I've done. I'm tired of feeling crappy and sluggish because of this. This semester, I'm determined to make a change!
Height: 5' 3/4" (Yess that 3/4" matters!)
