    Hey guys!

    My name is Shannon and I've spent a lot of my life going on "diets" that always end, work out binges that I quit, and generally a lot of half-assed trying. I've decided that since I'm gonna be a freshman next year, it's time to get into some good habits to carry with me to my dorm!

    I'm extremely supportive of everyone but seem to always fizzle out when supporting myself. With that said, I'd love to have some friends on here to cheer on and to cheer me on. With a team effort, you can't go wrong!

    I'm also a vegetarian so if anyone else here is, we can work through the tendency towards carbs together!

    Have fun everyone and happy "losing" !

    -Shannon

    Ps. I'd like to lose 30 lbs so I'm this for a while!

    Hi everyone! My name is Ema and I'm about to start school in the fall in California. I've always been a heavier girl, but I've been looking for some sort of support system on MFP and I'm glad I found this group! I'm hoping to lose 40 pounds, hopefully by the end of the year, but I know it's a work in progress. I'm definitely the kind of person that needs motivation and accountability partners! I hope we all reach our goal weights, ladies!

    Hey ladies!

    My name's Paige and I'm 18 and about to start (moving in 8/17!) Georgia Southern University as a freshman majoring in Pre Nursing with a minor in Spanish. I'm not ashamed of the body I have now, but I know I'm not treating it like I should by having sooo much extra weight on it. I want to be healthier. And I want to prove to everyone that ever doubted me that I CAN do it, even in the hustle and bustle of freshman/college life.

    I'd rather not include my SW/CW because while I'm proud of my body, I'm not exactly proud of the numbers.

    Suffice it to say, I have to lose a healthily sized girl of my age. (According to BMI calculators, I really need to lose about 170ish /:)
    I don't expect it to happen over night and I look forward to working my tail off to get it. Everything that has to be worked for is even sweeter in the end.

    (:

    Hii ladies, Im Aliesha and I'm 22 and a junior at Brooklyn College. I'm a Psych major and was always kind of chubby and then bam puberty hit, I joined tennis and I was a healthy 134 standing at 4'11.

    Now nine years later I'm only 5'0, and gained everything back when I got into a relationship and then gained more when I ended said relationship. It's going to be a process but one I am so ready for! My goal is to get back to between 134 and 145. At that point it's about what I feel really good with.

    Hey Everybody!

    I'm Kristy and am a senior at DePaul University in Chicago studying accounting and international studies. I started getting serious about being healthier back in October and lost right around 30 pounds since then but some things come up and I have just been maintaining now. It's time for me to really get back into a healthy lifestyle and just need some girls that understand how hard it is with school and work and everything else that gets thrown our way. Feel free to add me and give advice and I'll do the same as I get the hang of this.

    Hi! My name is Alicia. I am a gonna start my third year here at New Mexico State University, going for my BBA in Economics. I've been on lots of weight loss journeys before that failed, except one back in HS where I lost 30 lbs, but I gained it all back after graduating HS and not buying their meals and shakes, so this time I want to make it a complete lifestyle change in order to make myself healthy.

    Hey everyone! I'm Noelle, a sophomore at LSU but studying in Spain for a year!
    I recently put on body fat after having a great first year at college and I am NOT happy not seeing my muscles anymore! My activity level and motivation have both been waaaay down and I'm hoping MFP will help me pick them back up!
    I'm 5'8" and around 140. I'm not really looking to lose pounds so much as to melt the fat off my muscles!

    Hi! I'm Danielle and I am going into my senior year at Umass for Biology. I put on some weight and am ready to be happy again. I try to not let anything hold me back but sometimes I find myself not doing things because of how I look. I would like to be healthy and gain more confidence in myself!

    Hi I'm Kerri. I'm a senior bio major/psych minor at Maryville College. I've slowly been putting on weight since high school but getting to 160 lbs over the summer was just the straw that broke the camels back. Now I'm doing my best to get healthy and feel better. Although lord knows the cafeteria isn't doing me any favors in that department. I've also recently become slightly obsessed with exercising.

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Zer. I attend Augustan College in Sioux Falls, SD and am a 4th year nursing student. I have tried many times in the past to lose weight but cannot seem to lose weight. My most successful attempt was last summer when I dropped a pant size but I was still the same weight. I started measuing myself then to see how many inches I lost. I just am having a hard time losing weight. I heard about myfitnesspal from one of my friends and decided to try it out. Hope to meet more people.
