Hey everyone! Im looking to add people who are in the same situation as me.. Im 20 years old. Full time college student - Double Major in Accounting and Finance. Retired athlete. After I stopped playing sports in high school and working full time when I went to community college full time.. I gained 39 pounds putting me at 189. My goal weight is 140. I recently transferred to the university I am getting my degree from and only work part time. Im looking to lose this weight over the next 7 months! I hope I can find some people to share my story with. Thank you! Have a great one!

    Also a 20 year old, full time college student. I'm majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in teaching english as a second language. I've played sports my entirely life, but definitely saw the pounds pile on after high school as well when I wasn't playing nearly enough softball or soccer to equal my carb addiction :) So here I am!! Anyone feel free to add me. I'm 5'4" CW: 146 GW: 125ish

    I'm 21, full time college student and working part time at Olive Garden (talk about temptations). Never was an athlete, was just always the 'bigger girl.' I did manage to get down to 138 over the summer, but since the stress of college I've put 30 lbs on. Now it's time to take it off! I'm 5'2", CW: 155 lbs, GW: 125

    So glad I found this group! I'm a 19 year old sophomore majoring in Elementary Education. I've played sports my whole life and continued on in college. I play volleyball right now for my school and I love it! Glad to have found some people my age on here! Just trying to get in better shape and tone up a bit for myself as well as volleyball. I'm also doing INSANITY and will be starting winter workouts for the offseason once winter break hits. How does everyone handle going out and still trying to be healthy the rest of the time?

    Hey, I'm 18 and a full time student majoring in psychology and taking a few extra classes in music. just about done with my first semester at a community college, and I gained about 20 pounds since I moved out of my parents house. Currently I'm approximately 5,2 and fluctuating around 135 and 140, not really looking to lose a lot of weight so much as just getting healthy and active again.
    It would be pretty awesome to have some friends with similar goals to mine.

    Hey there,

    I'm Alex. I'm 23 and I just graduated from University in June. On January 2nd, I told everyone "I will lose 30 pounds by graduation if it kills me." I started at 189 and by graduation I weighed 148.6. I have gained 3.5 pounds back (I got a job, moved away and am still adjusting). I have about 10-12 pounds before I hit my goal of 140. I thought for sure I couldn't lose weight while in school. Stress eating was a huge problem for me. But, it turns out a hectic schedule worked for me. Planning is KEY. I always had healthy snacks packed. I weighed in every Wednesday at home and would have one meal that I had been craving all week, after my weigh-in. I did 30 day shred and Body Revolution and felt incredible. Myfitnesspal has saved me also. It keeps me accountable and connected to people who are in the same situation. Quite a few of my close friends lost weight right alongside me. It's such a process but I'm still down 36 pounds and am happier than I was all through grade school and high school. Feel free to add me. I think we have a great deal in common. I would always hear people say "I never thought I would be a success story" and it would make me so angry. Easy to say. You still have to do the work and make sacrifices, I thought I'd never be able to stick to it! I now consider myself a success story and I truly believe if I can do it, anyone can. I'm here if you need me :)
