Hey everyone! My name is Valerie and I am a 23 year old grad student who is studying curriculum and instruction. My focus is in middle grades education and I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with my masters yet, but luckily I'll have to teach for a few years before I can do much of anything with it so I have plenty of time to figure that out. I joined MFP at the end of October after hearing about the app from one of the girls in my classes. I cannot express how happy I was about finding it because as you all know being in college is way stressful and it's really hard to find the time to eat healthy and exercise. It's been really nice feeling accountable to people on MFP... it makes me want to stick with it.

Hi everyone!
My name is Lindsey and I am a 21 year old nursing student in my junior year at Edinboro University in Erie, PA. I have been trying to stick to diet and exercise for the past couple of months, seeing friends lose 20 or 30 lbs and being complete discouraged. I'm hoping that I can find some friends in a similar boat that can help me reach my goal!

Hi everyone I've been registered on MFP for a while now but the app was literally just sitting there on my phone, but I recently just took action to make this a serious attempt. I go by the name of "Chabs" and I'm a sophomore at Puerto Rico. Wish me luck! And feel free to add me, some inspiration and motivation would be great

Hi everyone! I'm Victoria, 19, and I currently attend Baker College. Im looking for some support from people around my age who are dealing with trying to lose weight while in college. I'm trying to loose that belly fat that seems to be impossible to loose! My boyfriend is currently in the army and loves the way I look now but I want to be comfortable showing off some skin for him in that sexy bikini this summer when he comes home. I've been working hard on dieting but more support the better! ADD ME and we can do this together!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jamie and I am a Senior at Chatham U. The reasons that I joined this site are that I am tired of sitting around being envious of the bodies that my athletic friends have. I was a high school athlete but I got an injury during my last championship match and gave up exercising while my shoulder healed. I have been healed up for a while but I got lazy and now and I am 4 sizes larger! I am sick of not fitting into my clothes and feeling like a slob in classes. I am motivated to lose this weight before I graduate because I don't need to be envious when I know I can exercise and stop snacking on everything in sight.

So glad this group got started its great to see college girls coming together to better themselves and encourage each other along the way!

Hi! I just joined this group today
I am a senior in college at SUNY Oswego, studying graphic design. My goal is to overal be toned at it and look awesome in a bikini. In the past I have worked out throughout college, but this past semester I completely stopped, I was too stressed and busy. I ended up loosing all my tone, now I just feel out of shape. And I gained a lot of weight and got some bad eating habbits. I have been on a diet a few days now, after recently discovering I have high cholesterol. I am trying to find new healthy things to eat and I am struggling with cravings for unhealthy things

Nice to see all the new faces. Hope everyone is having a great semester. Keep up the hard work on being healthy everyone!

Hey babes! I'm Summer, 19, 5'8, new to this group, and pretty new to mfp too! Joined in January

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I developed an unhealthy relationship with food, and battle with binge eating and overeating and was anorexic and bulimic. Working hard everyday to overcome toxic thoughts and also to stay on the right track of things!

Currently on the higher end of my weight fluctuations due to a bad bout of binging, currently still struggling with it but getting better (hopefully)!

I generally try to eat really healthy because it makes me feel good and also a reason why I have decent skin with hardly any skincare regime whatsoever I find it a good motivation to eat healthy I also exercise daily, I love cardio!!! I am recently trying to incorporate some strength training while cutting down on cardio to see if this helps me with my fat loss!

I love fashion and dressing up but rather than keeping up with the trends I focus on dressing for my body type and face! I also love shopping, dance, music, making things, hugs, laughing (i'm serious haha) and currently picking up knitting!

I hate studying and procastinate a lot, also a little too obsessed with calories, food, dieting and the sorts!

I have good and bad days, but I try to stay positive and also give support to all my mfp friends!! Feel free to add me I try to check in as much as possible to keep myself accountable!

Hey Girls!!

My name is Lauren and I'm finishing up my first year at Truman State University! The point of me starting
myfitnesspal is to get in shape, become more athletic again, and to prepare myself for after Truman when
I move out to Colorado! I hear a good majority of people there love to be active and I don't want to be the odd
one out. I want to feel and look healthy, my whole life I've been the chubby girl and couldn't ever remember
being out of the double digits for pants. I want to do this more than anything to be athletic, buy cute clothes I
was never able to wear, and look and be the best for my boyfriend. It's time for a change and I'm fed up with
making excuses, it's time to do some work!!

Hi I'm Hannah I go to UT and am graduation in May only problem is I've got to slim down before all those pictures are taken. So ladies I hope this will help me finally reach my goal weight!

Hi everyone!

My name is Sara. I'm 22 and a junior at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, going for my bachelors degree in Management Information Systems.

I've struggled with my weight for my entire life and I finally hit a breaking point last summer when I went to a doctor's appointment for something unrelated and say that my weight had climbed to a crazy 281 pounds and that I had high blood pressure. Knowing how unhealthy I was (I mean, come on. Blood pressure meds at Twenty-one!?) I knew something had to change. I hate to say it but it still took me months to get my butt in gear but over the last week I've been making some GREAT progress and have been very proud of myself.

I started a weekly 45 minute Kettlebell class with my mom two weeks ago (and have been sore after every class!) have been trying to utilize my school's gym (injured my foot on my first day though, so I took a couple days to rest it), and today did Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred Level 1 video for the first time.

I feel great and I'm so excited to begin this journey and get healthy.

I'm really new to MFP so if anyone wants to friend me, feel free! I love having people to feel motivated by and it helps me to feel accountable!

Hi girls!

My name is Casey and I'm studying voice at Manhattanville College. I'm 20 years old, finishing up my sophomore year now. I would love to start gaining some friends/motivation! I've never used this site before, so any requests would be awesome and much appreciated. I've had a life long struggle with weight, but have always tried to face it alone. I'm also allergic to dairy and eggs, so if anyone has similar allergies and wants to swap notes on how to deal that'd be great! I'm also starting that 30 day squat challenge tomorrow if anyone is interested.
