Hey ya'll! I just got my Master's and a new job. Of course, the job involves me sitting on my butt and staring at a computer screen ALL DAY. Don't get me wrong, I love it. But I gotta workout hard every day, because I don't move enough when I'm at work. Can anyone share this sentiment? If you can, I NEED A FRIEND. If you can't, I NEED A FRIEND.

    Hi! I graduated from law school in May and just joined this site. I would love friends and support as I work to lose the 30 lbs. I managed to pack on during the past three years. I moved to the city I'm in for law school and don't have a wide circle of non-legal community friends. While those friends are amazing to binge drink and carry on hypothetical conversations with, they look at me like I have three heads when I start talking about calories, the gym, training, or diet.

    That sounds like a great idea. Reminder- Stand up, lol. I also do leglifts(leg crunches) when I'm standing.

    Hey I just graduated from Law School and am currently living with family while unemployed. Sadly I went off the deep end during bar studying (eating mostly take out). But i'm going to turn that around now as I search for jobs . . . so no gym in sight . . . just lots of stress, healthy food (except when i'm too stressed!) and applying away.

    Right now I work for a university so I work out at their gym. As soon as I get off of work I go straight to the gym. No matter what. The first 30 days is the hardest I think. But after that, my mind knows what is going to happen everyday at 4:30pm.

    Feel free to add me. I decided to work FT and get my Master's at the same time, so I feel you on the sitting 9+ hours/day.

    Edit: typos
