Age: 25

Don't have current measurments.
Short term goal: I would like to get past the 160 plateu I seem to have...
Long term goal: I want to get to 150 by the summer.
Reason for weight lose: Superficial, I know, but I don't want to be the chubby one when my boyfriend and I get engaged... He's a pro football player, so he's training all the time too.
I went to Uni of Illinois at Chicago. Loved the city. Now I'm back in West Michigan working as a Software Test Engineer in the automotive industry. I am hopefully soon to be engaged. The boyfriend and I have talked about it numerous times and we'll be celebrating our annivarsary on Sunday (Dec 23rd). I don't have any children.0 -

Hi Everyone,
Name: Andrew
Classification: Graduated May 2012
Majors: Finance, Operations Management, Business Economics
Age: 22
Weight: 195
Goal Weight: 150
Height: 5'5"
I started college at 150 and would love to get back there. All the studying and extra credits I took a semester allowed me to graduate with a triple degree but destroyed my body in the process. Taking 18 to 19 credits a semester allowed for very quick meals in-between classes (therefore some type of fast food or campus food was about my only option). Defiantly looking forward to getting back there.
Short term goal is to lose 10-15 pounds by the end of February.0 -
Hi,
I'm not sure if people are still using this group, but I came across it in one of my recent searches for student groups.
I've just started using MFP and so far I'm quite impressed with it. My goal is to lose 14ilbs in 5 weeks in time for University again.
Can anyone shed any tips on their successes?
Thanks

Hey! I'm a college kid living in Central New York...meaning our temperatures this week were all in the negatives
Very hard to be motivated (but this morning I managed to drag myself out of bed and worked out before work, woohoo!).
Name: Karly
Class: Sophmore
Major: International Relations and Geography
Age: 19
Weight: 117
Goal Weight: 105 (or a muscly 110)
Height: 4’11”
Short term goal: I plan to lose 5lbs by end of February
Long term goal: Increase the weight for my kettle bell/dumbbell moves by 5lbs (at least). Also, I’d like to one day be able to beat someone in an arm wrestle.
Reasons: I'm a volunteer firefighter and I'd really like to be in better shape. Mostly stronger, but I can lose a few lbs too. I'm used to playing sports so the transition to college life has made it tough to stay healthy. I’d love to have my gymnastics body (well-defined and doing moves that look painful) back.0 -

Hello all!
I am 23 y.o. and am trying to lose about 15 pounds. I am 5' and currently 123 - 126 (fluctuates a lot). I've put on about 13 pounds over the past 4 years and just want to get back to that "pre-long-term relationship weight"
I do strength training a few days per week, but rarely force myself into cardio.
I am a vegetarian, but the main food groups at our house are dairy, carbs (bread/tortialls), and starches (sooo many potatoes). I've recently started geting big fruit/veggie baskets from Bountiful Baskets, so I'm hoping that helps improve my diet. BF is also a vegetarian, but doesn't eat any veggies at all, so having a healthy diet is pretty hard at home.
Anyway, just looking for some more support and to meet people who want to get healthier as well!0 -

Hey guys, I just really need some motivation here. I have gained over 20 pounds since I started college. I used to work out every single day, I would dance competitively, and I could eat whatever I wanted because my metabolism was so high! I don't really know how to cook, but I'm learning. I just want to be able to look good when I go back home so people arent like, oh she gained weight...but also for trips that are coming up. I have an obsession with french fries and mexican food. I love exercising though, I am trying to get into running because I know that can do a lot for your body!
Thanks!!!0
