Yup I'm crazy.... but I work full time in a very stressful job and I attend graduate school full time in the evenings. I could use some motivation/friends to stay on track and not stress eat. Is anyone eles this nuts? :huh:

    Gone through that a lot over the years. Put myself through college and still working on my Master too. I don't stress about it anymore like I used to though. I have great support from the wife and kids, and I've been in my career so long I can handle the stress without too much issue.

    Best of luck !

    I am in a very similar boat. It can get quite stressful at times! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like! Its always nice to have extra support :-)

    I know its hard I'm a single mom of 2 . I work and go to school, always being told your gonna fail is never easy. Somedays its so hard to stay motivated, so I'll help support anyone I can :)

    I am this nuts too, and wonder constantly am I mad. To make things worse my fiancee is overseas and I have to arrange my day around when i can talk to him too. It is really hard, and I find that everything else takes priority over me and my health. I know it should be the other way around. I have been struggling a lot with it all lately and have fallen completely off the wagon. I want to get restarted but I can't seem to take the first step. I started out the year so well.

    But ultimately I know it will all be worth it, I complete my Masters next year, my wedding hopefully if nothing goes wrong is next March (hubby to be is taking longer to move here), so all I need to do now is make some time every day to at least pack my meals for the next day to save me from eating the wrong things. I was exercising before work so that nothing interfered in that and I stopped for a while as that was the best time to speak to my fiancee but the clocks have changed for daylight saving so my time then is free again. I am just worried about how much my fitness has slipped.

    Sorry I haven't really motivated you. Maybe just sympathised with the problems.
