Hey all!

I'm a 22 year old female college student looking to lose about 10 lbs. Already lost about 40 lbs after my freshman year gain by counting calories but unfortunately gained a few lbs after a very stressful semester last winter/spring. Gonna be a challenge because it's the last 10 lbs and those are always the hardest to lose, right???

Are there any other college students out there trying to lose weight too??

Definitely excited about this and am glad there's an established site that will help me keep track of my calories.

Kate

    i'm 20 and i'm a junior in college. i joined MFP after my freshman year and lost my "Freshman 10" and then used it last summer to lose another 8 lbs. However, since I've been back at school this semester I've gotten a lot more lax about logging my food and gained 13 lbs back, so I'm trying really hard to lose it again. This website works - you can do it!!!

    About to try to gain weight/muscle, but I've used mfp to lose weight/lower my bf% for the past four months. It's very helpful.

    WOW! I can't believe how fast everyone responded this is incredible! I kind of wish there was one specific message board that was just for college students or 20 somethings using MFP...

    We had a topic just got college students a few weeks back, but us twenty somethings aren't the best at checking in it seems. However, feel free to make a new one or dig up the old one.

    I'm a junior in college who gained the "freshman 15". I join MFP and now I'm wearing pants that I wore the summer before my senior year in high school! I also don't have any time to exercise with my busy schedule, so I'm amazed at how well this is working for me!

    Hi, everyone! Kmorneault11, wow, haha, you seriously just read my mind! I was looking for a forum like this just yesterday.

    I'm a soph in college, and I mostly use MFP to make sure I'm eating healthy. I haven't lost much (oh well), but I'm feeling way more alert and healthy during the day. :) Glad to meet you all!

    Hey I just found MFP, and I'm trying to get rid of the freshmen 15 (plus a bit) that I got last year! This seems like a great site, and it's nice to know other college-age people are utilizing it!
