Hey, I'm Hollie!

I'm a full time student doing A-Levels, yawn. I'm 5 foot 7 and currently weigh 186 lbs. To be my ideal weight I need to lose 51lbs! I've tried this before a few times but i've never had any support, i'm determined this time so any support would be great!

Thanks :)

    I understand you completely. I work full time and am a full time student! My best advice would be to plan in advance. I have many mornings where I leave the house at 7 in the morning and am lucky to be home by 11 at night. If you plan well enough you can make sure you are tempted by treats that may come across your way.

    For an FYI, I am down 18 since I started (again), but finally have the best motivations to make me stick with it.

    Best of luck!

    I've found to make sure I fit everything in I have to plan everything! It gets a little stressful and tiring which really throw me off sometimes! But congrats on the weight you've lost already! That's amazing!

    I sent you both friend requests :) I was once a full time student too. I'm no longer full time. I graduated, but I'm going back and taking life a little slower. Welcome to MFP!

    Feel free to add me! I'm just now coming back to MFP after not logging for a while. I'm trying to lose around 20 pounds, maybe more. Just started exercising and eating better and also need support! I'm also a full time student and work around 30 hours a week, so scheduling is also tough for me.
