    I am 27 and lost 34 pounds during my last year of grad school using this site so I know what you mean. In the past 6 weeks of "enjoying my summer" I have put 5 back on and can feel it all over. ( I am 5'2" by the way)

    I just started logging again on this site and could use some new friends to keep me coming back on here daily. Everyone can feel free to add me please!

    Feel free to add me :) I'm 27 and I got maried last year. Before my wedding, I was trying really hard to lose weight. I lost about 5-10 pounds but afterwards I packed on the pounds. I gained about 20 pounds in a year, I just stopped really caring what I looked like. Now I'm back to it, I am determined to get this weight off as hard as it is. I'm not technically short (5'6) but I carry weight all in my belly. I'm so afraid one day someone will ask me how far along I am. It's been a lot harder to get weight off this time around (I used to be able to lose 10 lbs in a week) but I have a lot of support from my husband and my friends. It always helps to have more though!

    I'm 5'1, 21 and in my senior year of college. I actually lost about 12 pounds in freshman year (down from my highest weight of 138 pounds in high school), and have been at 126 pounds for almost two years now. It's hard to balance working out and eating healthy with an incredibly packed schedule-- yesterday I ran from class to class, only realizing at 2:00 that I hadn't gone to the bathroom or eaten anything since breakfast. Luckily my live-in boyfriend is also a healthy eater, and supports my mainly vegan diet, but I don't lose weight easily. I'm looking to drop about 10 pounds in the three months-- feel free to add me!

    I had a similar experience of letting myself go while I was in a bad relationship (and an unhappy roomate/living situation, which prompted me to spend a lot of time in coffee shops/fast food places/ restaurants with wifi so I could study out of the apartment)

    What's helped me a bit as a student trying to get in shape is podcasts- I try to find some relevant podcasts or books on tape so I can study while I run. I don't learn as well through listening, so it's mostly for reviewing information, but it helps the time go by and makes me feel like my workout time is double-useful.

    Anyway, I'm brand new, and I'd love to have another friend on MFP,

    I'm 28, 5"4 and 159 lbs (down from 170). I want to get down to 130 so I still have a bit to go.

    I'm in college too so I know how stressful that is! :) Feel free to add me...

    Hi! I am 25 and short 5'0. I have more weight to lose but it is always nice to have people that support you and understand. I started my first full-time job about 2 months ago and have been trying to balance everything. SOOOO much harder than I thought it would be. I have found that routine works best for me, so that is what I am going for.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I love all this girl power in one place, haha.

    Hi! I am 22, a full-time junior in college and I also work full-time. I understand about not having a lot of time to cook or eat the way you should and just LOVE fast food. I know that's awful, but it's true. I love greasy, salty food. I started this weight loss journey at my highest weight of 150 and am down to 134.5. I am 5'2 & 3/4. So I do not have a lot of height, either. I am aiming to be at 120 pounds by December 20. I have hip surgery that day and would really like to not worry about losing weight during recovery; I would prefer maintaing. In addition to my hip issues I am a Type 1 Diabetic, which can complicate things sometimes. I think, though as I continue on with this that I may find that I want to lose more, but who knows! I just want to be fit, healthy, and sexy! Please feel free to add me!! I can use any motivation and support that people want to give!
