I'm 22, and going to graduate in August 2014. I have a 3 month long full time internship on top of classes, and I'm in need of support through this hectic Summer. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Anyone have any advice?

    tbh I wouldn't go on a diet during exams because in that period you need plenty of food to keep you from losing your mind from all the stress and really can't afford to starve your brain
    I would eat normal sized 3 meals a day with fruit snacks in between if I could, avoiding junk food, and even if I pack on a few pounds while getting good grades, it's ok

    if you really want to at least maintain, go for walks, you can really find 30 minutes a day for that, and try doing it without your cell phone, iPhone or other people

    I'm a graduate, really struggling with losing weight. I workout but my nutrition is proving a struggle to get right and keep on track.

    I've ballooned since finishing Uni :/

    any friends would be appreciated, i'll help motivate!

    I'm in college as well. I'm 24, starting my year long internship in the fall and graduating next spring. I'm trying to loose around 100 pounds before I graduate. I had a life changing accident 2 years ago, so being in college and trying to work around my disabilities have been challenging. I'd love some support and accountability from other college students. Hope you all have a great summer!

    i'm cutting weight, and have about a month until my summer begins. with full-time school and work all year. I found it easiest to prep my meals before I start the day. Good luck this summer :)

    I am. I am going back to school in october for my Associates (RN) in nursing and am a mom and wife, and work a full time job. Sometimes I dont have the energy or the momentum to workout but I just take my kids to the park and ride my bike while my husband or brothers watch them.
    Its tough because I went from weighing 240 and the got up to 246 and the went down to 215 and its been back and forth thing. Now I am at 204 and it seems as if I concentrate mostly on the scale. I just want to get back to my hs weight like 150 to 160. I will be very happy even if i reach 170
