Back Online- Need more support

I haven't been on this site for about 8 months but I decided to go back at it and try this again. I decided it really is time for a change. 8 months ago I was in Iowa and I was doing wonderful, I ate healthy and I ran at least four miles a day. Then a couple months after that I transferred colleges and got into a bad crowd. I ended up becoming depressed and I knew something had to change. I made the biggest change of my life by moving all the way across the country to Pennsylvania. I made some wonderful friends at my new college. We were always active. I didn't even feel like I had to work out because we were always playing active types of game like manhunt (a form of hide and seek in the dark). Then I met a guy. He lit up my world. He didn't go to college but I feel for him hard. Now its the next semester and I'm no longer on campus with all of my active friends. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and my best friend but they work all day long and I just sit here doing my online classes and keeping the apartment clean and nice. One of my friends took a video the other day and when I watched it I can't believe how much bigger I look then what I looked like 8 months ago. I really do need a change and I would like support to help me. :)


Sorry About The Long Post :P

    Welcome back! I know what you mean, my work is sitting at a desk then go to school at night so my time is spent sitting somewhere. With homework by weekends are not very active anymore. Friend request sent.
  • Well, the good thing about being online all day is that you have access to MFP support and other tools. Make a friend request if you like! :O)

    you've done it in the past so you know what you need to do...we can help support you and help in any way we can. While you're doing those online studies try doing some squats or maybe leg lifts. Arm stretches something to get moving...on my off days I get up on commercials and do squats, and use my bands to workout with. There is a lot you can do...keep at it and best of luck
