College Support?

Hi! I'm in college too and struggling.
My schedule has been crazy this semester...hardest classes I've taken so far, plus two jobs (30hr workweek).
Along with the illness I caught at the beginning of the semester which took more than a month to heal, my fitness has taken a backseat and my eating is inconsistent--sometimes super healthy and clean, other times not so much.
I could use some friends going thru the same situation. feel free to add me!

Hey there I'm a Grad Student! :drinker:

Hey! Feel free to add me. Im a college junior and sadly gained the freshman 15 twice! How did that happen? Haha. I have also lost 13 lbs so far, so i am slowly but surely making progress.

Hey any of you feel free to add me!! I am currently in college 3rd year but still have quite a bit left :P

feel free to add me. WHile I'm no where near most of you in age I am a full time college student with 2 semesters left. Would have 3 but I took a bunch over the summer so I would finish up earlier. I take 5 classes each semester, take care of our house, run 2 teenagers all over, have a husband and pets to care for and still manage to eat right and get in some exercise every day. Most colleges have a gym. I highly recommend taking advantage of it. Ours has a pool as well. As soon as I get a bathing suite you can bet my 46 year old mommy butt is getting in that pool. I also belong to LA fitness (formerly Ballys)

One of my tips: Get on a stationary bike with a book. It helps me pass the time and get my studying in. Before you know it you've read a chapter and did 20 to 30 minutes... or more depending on how long the chapter is.

I cook all of our meals, never order out or get take home or eat fast food. Our kids have dorm room fridges in their bedrooms that I keep stocked with bottled water, fresh cut up fruits, veggies and greek yogurt. Why do I do this? Because they will fight if they go to the kitchen fridge and find that someone took the last yogurt. They also have a lot of friends over. They always have something healthy to share with their friends. So if your in a dorm room you probably have a mini fridge too. You can buy fresh cut veggies now a days in most grocery stores. Take a baggie full of your favorite fruits and veggies everywhere you go plus bottled water.

Edited to add: I started to lose weight while in college not before. I felt very self conscious about my weight. IT was hard enough being the oldest one in the class but to be so heavy really got to me. Last year Dec. I threw out my hip! The pain would not go away till I started to walk more, exercise and lose weight. After the first 25 pounds or there about I no longer have any hip pain when I walk.
