Very cool! I'm in the same boat - a medical student working on my MD. It is hard to diet with so much to learn. Nothing is more comforting than studying with a double-mocha-fattening-something to sip on but it's time to get healthy

Hi! I am finishing my doctoral degree in Business by May 2013! I've gained 10 pounds in the last 5 months, probably because I was so nervous about the job market... Well, now that I got I job, I need all the extra weight! May is graduation and my wedding
Please feel free to add me as your friend.

I'm going to be graduating in May 2013 with my PhD in Education. Just landed a job too! Now to finish the dissertation! I work 12-15 hr days and always work on one weekend day for 6-8 hours.

I log after every meal and snack. I have the app on my phone and iPad as well as the site bookmarked on all of my computers, no excuse not to log that way! I workout in the mornings and shower at the gym, it helps me keep myself going to bed at a sensible hour too when I'm waking up at 5:30 a.m. I've started doing a second 20-30 minute free weight and cardio combo video a few nights a week as well. I had to start scheduling it in my day (its actually in my electronic calendar on all devices) and being very protective of my workout time, not allowing it to get cancelled for anything that wasn't a legit emergency.

I just started my PhD in Bioinformatics this year, it's definitely a lot to manage!! I had already lost all my weight and gotten myself deeply obsessed with health/fitness/myfitnesspal over the 9 months before I started grad school so it is a lot more of a habit now for me. I think my best advice is to just find something you enjoy and to make loggin in a habit. Get some friends on here that you like and you'll want to log on to see what they're up to and to chat I'd love any other friends doing PhD's as buddies!! Feel free to add me... 5'8", 22 yo, heavy lifter, eat a lot, pretty knowledgeable on health and fitness, positive and been on here almost a year!

You guys have been working a lot! I feel very sluggish now, can't concentrate on my dissertation, haven't been working at all in the past two weeks... hope things will change otherwise I will never finish my degree!!!!
Please add me as your friend - let's keep each other motivated!
Happy new year!

I'm a first year PhD student in philosophy. I've always found it easy to lose/gain weight but very difficult to maintain. During stressful times I either restrict or binge but this past year I've been trying really hard to change that. Looking for some support. Feel free to add me!

Veterinary medicine, so I guess that counts (at least when I move back to the states!). I'm in my fourth year, and the stress makes dieting so very hard!

1st year PhD in Urban Education Policy. I find myself having to work/read/study while at the gym. Occasionally cheat and sneak in some Netflix here and there :P

Hey, it's nice to see others in the same boat, so to speak. I am going to add some of you to my roster of friends. Feel free to add me, too. I am on my 5th year of a Ph.D. program in Higher Education. (Yes, there is a degree in Higher Education.) I am just writing, writing, writing these days, but making time for workouts. I got tired of physically feeling terrible and make time for working out, cooking, and eating well. Sure, I pay the price, but I got tired of postponing caring for myself.

I hope this message finds you well! Ph.D. or bust!

First year Political Science PhD. This site definitely helps me keep perspective on my diet and exercise levels, as well as remind me that I'm resorting to bars for too many meals. Feel free to add me; it always helps to have others to keep us motivated and on track (in grad school and in life).
