hello all girls! I am looking for some supporting female friends on MFP with similiar goals to me. :) I have already lost the weight I needed to (20 pounds) but now I am trying to maintain. I am finding it difficult now! :( I often flucuate from my lowest weight (113) to my goal weight (118) and it feels awful! Some weeks I get so low as 113 because I am exercising and really watching calories. Other days I just eat whatever I want and gain the weight back and feel fat and gross. I did not have to lose a lot of weight, and it's hard to find other people on here who only had a bit to lose. *I guess you would say people who are skinny fat lol* are there any other girls in college like myself just maintaining a small weight loss? I could use some encouragement and help!

here is my weight loss story:
I first began MFP weighing 134. I am 5"7', and I was unhappy at that weight because I was actually larger than my boyfriend. (He is my exact same height btw lol). So I joined this website to lose the weight! I only counted calories and did not exercise at all pretty much. I lost the weight by fall last year, and now I have just been keeping it off. normally I am SUPER physically active doing irish step dance, construction work (this is my job at school in the theatre department), and I'm just naturally hyper. This summer however, I had to get a desk job at a library which requires me to sit for 6 hours at a time. Not very active. I was walking for 1 hour every morning, but now my schedule has gotten so crazy that I can't do that anymore. I have gone back to just eating whatever I want because I am tired of feeling like I am starving myself, but I have put about 3 pounds back on (I'm 117). I need motivation and advice! how do you work in college and keep fit even with a crazy schedule?

Please add me girls!! :)
