    Hello there :) I'm 20 and a full time student majoring in Nutrition, minoring in Spanish at the University of New Mexico. I have a problem with sweets, especially ice cream. As a nutrition major, I think its time I practice what I preach! I'd like to lose around 20lbs, and ya know.. not get winded after walking up stairs lol. Also, I'm newly a vegetarian, so if there are any others I'd love to know some of your favorite meals.
    :)

    Hey All! Not trying to sound like I am joining the Bandwagon or anything but I am a full time College student (Majoring in Hotel and Restaurant Management), I am 20 and I am a former athlete. After HS i gained my "freshman 15" and just couldn't get it off, instead it was just added to. I'm really new to this and any help or support would be great. I am 197 now and hope to get down to 140 by November. I am kinda shy at first but turn into quite a chatterbox. Feel free to add me though!!!

    hey everyone!
    nice to see some other people in the same situation juggling school work and working out!

    I'm 18, a first year university student. luckily I haven't put on the 'freshman 15' but instead I did gain some weight in my senior year of high school and this past summer SO time to get rid of that.
    My SW was 158ish CW is 154 and my GW is 140! (that being said, I am lifting weights as well and I fully realize I may get to where I want to be physically and not hit 140)
    Still pretty new on here (just hit my 15 day mark!) so any support would be great, and of course I'll do my part and support you :)

    I am a 22 year old full time college student (6-7 classes per semester), double majoring in Anthropology and Asian Studies, and a minor in Japanese Culture and Language at the University of New Mexico. I am looking to get a PhD in Anthropology and will be entering my Masters new year. It is quite hard to eat healthy and stay fit, but I am mostly doing it, somehow... lol. I was never a very active person until I forced a fitness routine into my life back in 2011, and have now come to enjoy it. I will admit that for some reason, I find logging calories on here....... fun. XD

    Stats:
    Female
    Height: 5'6"
    SW: 220
    CW: 116-118
    GW: idk.... Probably pretty much there..... Muscle building and toning now

    I'm also an edu major! I'm 22 and I only want to lose about 5 more pounds but I'm more focused on gaining muscle and looking toned so I'm not as concerned about the scale as I am how I look. I need new friends too cause I need all the motivation I can get!

    I'll join in on this board as well.
    I'm 20 and a full-time student. Sales and Business Administration Major. I currently have one job on campus that doesn't require much movement. I'm in the process of finding a second job that's more active compared to my first. I started college around 140 and now I'm almost at 170lbs. My goal weight is 120.

    I'm thinking about taking Oxyelite Pro and some Whey Isolate (3x/day as meal supplements)
    Anyone have any experience with both? Would love to chat.

    I guess you can add people on here so let's be friends and be each other's support system/motivation. :)

    19 year old full-time student studying Accounting, minoring in Business Spanish.

    Height: 5'4 or 5'5, been told both.
    SW: 168-170
    CW: 140
    GW: 120-125

    I managed to lose a good bit of weight by just watching my diet and walking around campus. I do some stretches in the mornings and evenings, use dumbbells. Unfortunately, I need to be exercising a heck of a lot more if I want to look as good without clothes as I would with them...

    I'm open to any friend requests, although I keep my diary closed for personal reasons.

    Hey! I'm 21, and at university at the Royal Veterinary College in London! I've always been a bit on the curvier side of life, but being at university has completely wrecked my figure! I'm also hoping to find others out there in similar situations - I don't know about you, but I feel like I need all the support I can get!
    I am 5ft 4" and was 67.5kg on my initial weigh-in on here (I've only been at this a week!).

    Feel free to add or contact me, I'm hoping to meet as many people as possible, and make friends all over the world :smile:
