Any College Students Using MFP?

AmandaEmily91 · February 2012

HI!

looking for supportive friends, even if you are not in college!!!

But, would just like to share your experience with struggling with your weight while in college. Its hard juggling going to class, studying outside of class and work, all while trying to fit in a workout and keeping up with a healthy diet. I have looked to MFP because of its awesome iPhone app !

Friend me, share your weight loss journey with me!

Poor college student but still trying to eat healthily: present!

SammyPacks · February 2012

I am in college

Yep! I'm taking 21 credit hours in school and working 30 hours per week as well. It's really hard because between all of that, I also have to count calories and workout when I barely sleep lol.

Friends are definitelyyyyy welcome!

Yup I am in college too! I think that it isn't all that hard really. I walk around campus all day and burn more calories then you would think doing just that. Then quick workout after class then head home! Eating healthy and on a budget is very easy for me too.
But then again I am a nutrition major so I am surrounded with this stuff all day xD

Now the alcohol though...

Sophomore in college! Taking 15 hours, working, and working out is tough! On top of that trying to have a social life.. You can do it!

Any of you can add me if you like! Always enjoy new friends.

rsrsrs oh the alcohol...I'm glad I'm a lightweight otherwise I'd be so obese.

But I don't find losing weight at school to be all that hard...I walk to class, sometimes I walk to my lab if it's nice out, plus I'm in class or work all day so I can't spend my time eating. Plus, as bad as it is, I love midterms — test anxiety really keeps weight off (except the dizzy spells from lack of sleep and food are no fun)

AmandaEmily91 · February 2012

Major props to all you with full time schedules! Full time in Vegas is 4 classes, 12 credits, right now I'm only taking two classes... so hopefully this will put me to a good start to exercising and preparing my meals ahead of time!. IDK... what do you guys do as far as diet... like preparing your meals early? I understand only an hour a day , ONE HOUR of working out , but literally i have no self motivation. ahhhhh

AmandaEmily91 · February 2012

Wow! Glad to see I am not the only college student on here!!

For inspiration and motivation i read some blogs.. here are two of my favorites.

Thanks! I'm a master's candidate in Arts Management so I volunteer to do work at all sorts of arts-related functions. I've called for donations, I've bartended, I've helped with set up and tear down, I've proctored auditions, pretty much anywhere I'm needed! Oh, I forgot, I play horn in a local wind ensemble too, and I'm pumped that MFP has a calorie count for playing a wind instrument haha.

godricshollow · February 2012

Yep! I go back on the 27th of Feb.. eeek. Feel free to add me

College junior here, who's half way on her journey already, but who doesn't want a few more buddies? Feel free to add me up so we can keep each other motivated

salxtai · February 2012

+1.

Although I'm down under, and we call it uni... but who care about technicalities, really

TiffanySuscheck · February 2012

:]
College is so wonderful. Working out and getting good grades is hard, but my school actually offers work out classes for credit.
I'm enrolled in Weightlifting and Fitness&Conditioning, one credit hour each.
They're easy A's, and I have a guaranteed workout!

Feel free to add me for support!

I'm a 4th year university student studying to be a teacher. I actually find it easier to manage my eating when I'm at school. This is mainly because I live at home and commute to my school so I have to plan and pack most of my meals. Plus, with my lack of money, I can't justify spending money on the overpriced food they sell there.
