Hi all!

bobbiebearden

I am a 33 year old grad student in my very last semester. I started off with a goal of losing around 90 pounds back in February. 35 pounds later, I am joining MFP to help me lose the last 55! The first 35 came off with the help of a nutritionist, and I have now added a workout regimen: 2 days per week resistance training with a personal trainer plus 2-3 days per week of cardio (usually 30-45 minutes on the elliptical trainer). Since I started the trainer a month ago, my weight on the scale has only gone own about 2 pounds, but the nutritionist does a body composition measurement every time we meet, and at our July 7th-ish appointment, we found out that in just two weeks I lost 13 pounds of fat and gained 12 pounds of muscle! My main goal here is to meet some new people to help keep me motivated! Anyone in their 30's and going to school that can relate?
