    Hey I'm 19 and also trying to lose the extra weight :) I have gained tons of weight in college and it won't go away. My goal is to get a six pack. Hopefully we can motivate each other. Good luck and feel free to add me.

    I just finished my first year in college and I can't believe how much I gained.. Last August I had to get a physical for my job.. I weighed over 186.. I was shocked. High school seemed to help me keep the hunger demon at bay for nine hours a day

    I'm 22. I'm really hoping that a combination of living in the city, having an active job, and having to feed two adults and a cat on $200/month will help both me and my SO slim down over the course of the next year. I've been fat all my life; he gained the weight in college, as so many of us have. I've got about 45-50 more pounds I want to lose, although I am about 60 pounds down from my highest weight (I haven't updated my ticker in a while, and kinda fell off the wagon for a few months, between finishing my undergraduate degree and moving into my first apartment).

    21 here, and it's crunch time! I have 5 weeks to go until I start college after two gap years, and I want to be as close to normal weight BMI by then as possible - 8 pounds to go!

    Hi, I'll be 22 in a few days. I definitely had a freshman 15, and a sophomore 5 and another junior 5 :( Still learning to eat right. (Although alcohol probably played a big role in all of this :P )
