    I would love to join. I am starting my 5th and final year at Marygrove College in Michigan. I am earning my elementary teaching certification with a concentarion in Mathematics.

    I currently weigh 139.2 and would love to get to 115. I have struggled with my weight a majority of my life. A little over 4 years ago I weighed 110 lbs when I started dating my now fiance. We are getting married in less than 9 months and I would love to have my dress taken in quite a bit - when I bought it I weighed over 150 lbs.

    I love the name...weigh ins on Monday sounds good. I weigh myself everyday also hehe. I think it would be great if we post what exercises we have done, what we have eatten, and how much water we are drinking.

    :flowerforyou:

    This is a good idea to keep up with what we're doing so we can stay active so we can be supportive for others, and get support.

    So far today, I have eaten 1 cup of raisin bran and 1/2 cup of skim milk and had 1 bottle of water. I'm trying to start running so I'm doing the Couch 2 5K program. This evening I'm doing day 2 of week 2.

    Good morning everyone! For breakfast I had a cup of Kashi cereal with 1/2 cup of milk and a few blueberries. I'm going to go out for a run in a little bit. Today I'm meeting a friend at Stir Crazy for lunch... has anyone else ever been there? The make-your-own stir-fry is really good.... I'm going to load up on the veggies!! Then it's off to work.

    I hope everyone has a great day!!

    What will everyone have their activity level set to once we return to school? Sitting in class for most of the day has me leaning towards downgrading to sedentary...though i do walk to class. hmmm what do you guys think? :glasses:

Today is gonna be really tough for me cuz i had class this morning and tonite with only 3 hrs left to get some cardio in, unfortunatly i cant get to the gym today so im gonna have to do something at home which is hard for me cuz its hard to motivate at home and to occupy the kids while i do it!

    Hey everybody! Can I join? :)

    I just turned 21, and am on a year-long break from University, but I still consider myself a college student! I guess I would be a sophomore or junior; it's confusing since I've switched majors a few times! I am majoring in elementary ed with a math concentration, and am so excited to someday be a teacher.

    Heighest Weight: 206lbs
    MFP Starting Weight: 199lbs
    Current Weight: 199lbs
    Goal Weight: 125lbs

    Sure you can laughing fox!

    So this week I cheated with Mexican, Thurs I ate a french bread pizza and then school had a "BBQ" and had burgers catered by Back Yard Burgers so I ate one of those and a small bag of chips :(, and today I ate a lean pocket and french green beans and tonight I will be eating something not so great for me since we are going to eat seafood tonight and I'm sure I'll get something fried :/, tomorrow hubby and I are going to the beach so I'm sure I'll drink..... I am back to 144.2 today so oh well. At least I'm not cheating on all my meals! Hopefully I can get back into things Sunday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!! <3

    Hey girls -- DON'T feel bad about being a little "naughty" on your diet! Life is to ENJOY too, remember that! A good friend of my mother's lost a TON of weight, and she only dieted 5 days a week, and gave herself the weekends off. :) Just because you "mess up" a couple days a week, doesn't mean you're not making awesome progress. Keep up the great work. <3

    Do you mind if i join too?

    Im katie, im 20 and im just about to start my final year studying business management with a specilism in IT at York St John university in the UK.
    I was 125lbs when i started uni and after my first year i put on 28lbs when i went home over the summer and still havnt managed to lose it after a year, im at 149.4lbs now and my goal is 125lbs.

    im quite lucky with uni as im only in 4hours on a monday and 4hours on a friday so i will have a lot of spare time to work out.

    i'm a little nervous to weigh myself tomorrow not going to lie...didn't exactly eat super healthy this weekend and drank quite a bit on both friday and saturday night. when i weighed myself this morning i was up to 159...which was scary considering that the day before i was 156.2. so hopefully tomorrow's number will be better seeing as how i ate much better today (and by better i just mean less...) and had a ridiculously awesome day at the gym. hopefully tomorrow will go well! i'm not expecting a 3lb loss overnight, but some should come off right away, right?

    Ok i've been out of the loop, first week of school/internship and summer hours still at work:( BUT i just weighed in and i'm 133.6 which is an improvement because last week (after 2 weeks of end of summer fun and friend visits) i was 138.4. HOWEVER most of this weight is due to loss of appitite due to the moving of the boyfriend:( But anywho, i haven't eated yet today, I'm gunna study and work on my 32oz water bottle until i'm hungry. Tonight i'm going to take a group power class ((if any of your gyms have them take it! its an hour weights class but its all done to music, love it, and you dont get bluky)) Have a great day!


    Goal: 125 by turkey day!
