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!

    I will add you...I am in my 2nd year of university, and am also trying to get rid of the freshman 15!

    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!
