Calling all College Students! Need Support :)

I'm a freshman in college too! I gained the freshman 15 pretty fast...and it definitely shows. I have stretch marks out the wazoo! But now I'm ready to change all that, and lose around 30 pounds total. I'm 5'7 180 lbs right now and I'd like to be around 150.

I'm 23, full time senior in college currently in California. I have 2 kids & I want to get back to the old me! My goal weight is between 130-140. Anyone feel free to add me.

Hi! I'm 20 years old and from NY. I'm a junior music business major, full time student. I used MFP back in 2011 (Around september-november), a short amount of time but I still lost some weight so it was definitely working for me. Back then I lived on campus in the dorms so it was realllly hard to find healthy food that didn't bore me so I fell back into the habit of eating whatever I wanted. I did take some health tips with me after that and went from 194-180 from then to now but over a long period of time without really trying, just reducing the amount of bad foods I ate and making wiser choices. Now I live off campus which makes it a lot easier to eat healthy, shop for myself, and prepare my own food. I started this back up end of January this year at 180 and I'm down to 176 (haven't weighed myself since last week though) and I want to get to 150 by summer. My school just opened their new gym which is definitely motivating and gets me excited to work out and I also have roommates that are on MFP and we are all working together! That makes it much easier to keep any junk food out of the house and we prepare meals together and what not. It's pretty much making sure you get yourself in the right mindset and you have to think about how much you really want to lose the weight!

Sorry that was unnecessarily long :P anyone, feel free to add me!!

I am currently a full-student at Northern Michigan University in Marquette Michigan. I have two jobs plus I volunteer as a teaching assistant for the labs for the Clinical Laboratory Science Department. In November I passed my board exam for phlebotomy and I am now a certified phlebotomist through the ASCP. Back in 2008, I was attending school in Wisconsin so I was commuting from home and living with my mom. I did well for the first two years because I was eating home-cooked meals. But as soon as I moved to Michigan and was living in the dorms I gained about 20 pounds. It was downhill from there because once I moved out of the dorms I gained another 30 pounds. I tried hydroxycut, weight watchers, and several others but nothing seemed to work.

Things have been getting better though. Since I moved into a house with my boyfriend (soon to be fiance) we have been buying a lot healthier foods and been doing a lot of home-cooking. My sister and mom showed me MFP and I'm finding it to help me a lot! I really like how everyone is so supportive (much different from weight watchers) and cheers each other on. My sister and I started going to our schools gym six days a week for three weeks now and we around almost always under our calorie goal.

I want to lose 95 pounds because here in the U.P. there is so much scenery to see. Unfortunately, you have to hike and swim to see a lot of things. I want to lose this weight to be able to see these things in Marquette, and of course, any where I go. Also, my boyfriend and I are planning a wedding and I don't want to look like a cow in my wedding dress. Diabetes runs in my family as well (along with many other weight-health related issues) and I want to steer clear of them and stay happy! Feel free to add me anytime!

Hey, I'm 20 and from London, England, studying Medieval Literature. I'm not really looking to lose that much weight, but to keep myself accountable for what I eat. Would always be nice to have friends!

I'm 20 and from the great freezing state of Minnesota! I'm currently 197 and trying to get to 130 before graduation which is a little over a year away. I want to get fit to start my grad school and career working with kids with lots of energy and being the best me i can be. Also the 50 dollars jeans i bought that are 2 sizes to small that are taped to my wall is a bit of motivation as well. Anyone feel free to add me.

I am 22 yrs old, a full time student, and a senior in university. I am majoring in Anthropology and Asian Studies with a minor in Japanese. I will be entering my Masters program in Anthropology next fall (planning of getting a PhD.). I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and am going to the University of New Mexico. When I started here on MFP, I weighted 220 lbs and have since lost 106 lbs (in about a year and a half), making me 114 lbs (I really hope this counts). After losing so much weight, I am currently trying to both maintain my weight and add a lot more strength training in order to get rid of the flab and build some muscle.
