College Students!!! Come Hither!

Options
Hello all,
Looking for college age fellow MFP users. I'm in need of a group of people with the same goals as I. I'm 22 and currently working part time, attending grad school, and student teaching. In the past year I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been slowly trying to make the appropriate changes. My main motivation is currently in a different state due to the Air Force. In the new year I really hope to lose 70lbs, close to 50lbs by June when I graduate with my masters. Add/message me if you think we could help each other.

    Hi, fellow college student here! I'm going to be student teaching next spring (hoping I can reach a healthy weight by then so I can boost my self-confidence and be a better teacher). I'm hoping to lose 100+ lbs and it's good to know there are other people like me who are also trying to be healthier!

    Hi all!

    I'm topping out the age range as a 26 year old MA student, but I'm definitely feeling the strain of balancing school, work, and life. Feel free to add me, I'm aiming to lose 66 pounds this year.

    I'm 22 and a freshman in law school (did several gap years working), and I currently work part-time in addition to studying. Balancing is hard and during the first semester of my freshman year I gained back everything I lost last winter/spring, meaning a total of 20 lbs. I wasn't at my goal weight even at my skinniest, so I have about 40lbs to go. Feel free to message me!

    Hey! My name is Melissa. I am 25, junior at James Madison University, majoring in Hospitality Management and minoring in Business. I've been on MFP for 3 years. I lost 25 pounds the first year, maintained it over the second year, however this past year I gained it all back.
    I could defiantly use new friends on here to help me stay on track!

    I feel old compared to you guys. Its ok, I was in the Army to pay for school. My name is Nicole and I am 28 working on my Bachelor's degree in Business. I have 4 quarters to go (my school is on 11 week quarters not semesters). I have a goal of about 50 pounds by June but if that doesn't happen I won't freak out. Feel free to add me and let's do this!

    I'm not a college student anymore, but it's been just a year since I got my teaching license. Student teaching is a very stressful time, but you can make the most of it if you are prepared and organized! Good luck! Add me if you like, I offer the perspective of the recent grad trying to be a responsible adult.

    I'm a 22 year old Rutgers University Graduate (Just finished a few weeks ago!). I'm down about 20lbs from my heaviest (275 from 295), and my goal is to have lost a minimum of 60lbs by 2015. I'd ideally like to be down to 180-190. I'm very bad at being motivated, so I'm also in need of partners with the same goals.

    Hey everyone!

    I'm 21 years old from Nova Scotia. I'm a 4th year business student finishing up my Bachelor of commerce major in accounting this semester. I'm looking to lose 25 pounds (get to 145) as my first goal of this year.

    I find I dedicate myself so much to school it has made it hard to keep active so I'm hoping to turn that around this semester. Making it to this first goal will put me back to where I was before I started school!

    Add me for encouragement! I have also got a fitbit flex tracker if you want to add me there: www.fitbit.com/user/29WSSD

    Hi everyone! I'm 22 and a first-year grad student. I lost a little over 10 pounds last fall, but have gained almost all of it back after starting grad school. I'm looking to start a healthier lifestyle this year and lose 15-20 pounds by summer. I'd love friends and motivation along the way! Feel free to add me, especially if you have similar goals! :)
