College Student Looking to Be Healthier!

I would love some MFP friends to keep me motivated! I have been looking at the blogs and they are so inspirational! I am a college student who has little time to work out but definitely needs the motivation!

    I'm a college student too. I just started tracking my exercise and calories about 3 weeks ago and I'd love to add you as a friend. We can help each other stay motivated!

    Definitely!! It's so hard to lose weight and be in college! I started about a year ago with MFP off and on. I think it's time to really stick to it though!

    I joined a year or two ago, but I never really used it. I gained ~10lbs from November to the end of January though and I realized that it was time to take action. I used to be super fit, but then I got a knee injury and have been acting like a lump for over a year now. I guess it finally caught up to me.

    Yeah.. I thought "oh, it's just a few pounds.." Then like 30 lbs later I don't feel that way so much.. Have you tried swimming? It's supposed to be really easy on your joints (like knees) and burn a ton of calories.

    Hi everybody!

    I'm doing a masters in music and looking to lose about 6 kgs/14lbs ish and get in shape! Would be great to have some more friends, no matter what your goal is! I do a combination of HIIT cardio and lifting.

    I'm online everyday, so feel free to add me and we can motivate each other!

    Just out of interest, what is your regime like? What do you do to workout and how often? I'm looking to reduce my BF by 4% or so, and drop about 14lbs. I've been in a plateau for a while so just interested to hear how others are doing it!

    My apartment building has a pool that's open during the summer, so I'm planning to try swimming in the summer, but right now I don't have access to a pool (at least not one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg). Right now I jog on the spot by my couch so that if it flares up I can just sit down instead of limping home.

    Y'all can add me! I'm also a college student trying to lose weight too. It really is hard trying to fit everything into your schedule (especially when you're so tired) but I'm learning I have to make this work. I have to do something so that I can live a long, healthy, and mostly HAPPY life!

    Hi!
    I'm a Biology major, I live in the dorms but next year I will have my own house and be able to cook for myself. Eating good foods when your cafeteria is a buffet is really hard :(

    Feel free to add me, I'm going to need some motivation when final week hits :o

    Starting my new semester tomorrow and my first day back is going to be really hectic! I start at 8:30 and don't finish until 12 hours later!! Crazy... I want to go to the gym afterwards but it might just have to be a short session tomorrow as I bet I'm going to be knackered! Still, better start as I mean to go on!!

    Hi! I'm a college student who is trying to lose weight as well. Haven't had the right motivation yet, and with summer so close, I really want to be healthier. I'm looking to lose 40lb total, but maybe around 10-20 by the summer time. Want to 'wow' people with my body! lol
