in Introduce Yourself
Hey Everyone,

My name is Ashlee! I am new to MFP! I am in college and I gained more than the freshman fifteen. I am looking to lose all of that. It's really hard maintaining a healthy weight with such limited food choices. I am very active but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I am a very nice and sociable person so feel free to add me and we can motivate each other!

    Hey!
    My name is Bre! I have been on MFP on and off for about a year now but since I can't remember my old password I had to create a new account! I am also in college and although I haven't really gained weight in numbers I have gained some inches on my body. I am really hoping to just look my best. I am really poor living off only food that can last as opposed to fruits or veggies unfortunately. I am somewhat active but I'm not sure it's enough to make up for my not-up-to-par nutrition. Anyways, I am hoping that I can talk to people to help motivate me and hopefully I can motivate others as well!

    Exactly! Being on a college student budget really makes it hard to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables considering the cost! I've read articles that said motivation and having people support you losing weight make you 3x more likely to lose weight!

    There really isn't! I am two years away from graduating so I know there is a light to the end of the college tunnel and I'll be able to afford healthier foods but until then I really just have to focus on portion control and fitness I think :/

    Sounds great! I feel like it is so much harder to lose weight in college because of food availability!
