in Introduce Yourself
I'm pretty new to this website, trying to get into a habit of lower calorie/low carb, higher protein/fat meals in the proper portion sizes before I head back to college. I'd love to be friends with and give/receive advice from anyone so feel free to add me! I just figured I'd have the most in common with college students trying to be healthy in an an environment that fosters quite the opposite.

    Just graduated last year (though going back in the Fall to finish the last 2 courses I need to officially graduate). Then on to grad school. I never actually gained the Freshman 15...I just yoyo'd down and up that 15.

    Best wishes. Prep your own food when possible and see if your uni has a health/nutrition page with the info on all their food (mine did, it just hid really well) to keep track of school food.

    I'm glad to see there is quite a few of us! If I haven't added you already, please feel free to add me. Support is an important part of this for me, especially in the college setting.

    I'm a college junior. I gained a bunch of weight sophomore year because of all the take out, and snacks I always found myself eating. I'm hoping this year will be different though.

    Senior here! Woop woop!!!

    I never gained the Freshman 15. It was well into my Sophomore year before I actually gained. Sadly, I have a lot since then. But that is why I am here after all.

    Anyone feel free to add me. :)

    College senior as well. I know what you mean about fostering an unhealthy lifestyle, I've gained 30 lbs in the last three years, now trying to lose it. Eating in the dining halls can be hard and I could use all the help and support I can get. Anyone can feel free to add me :)
