Hey everyone. I'm currently studying for the bar, and I thought it would be nice to have MFP connections who understand the ridiculously stressful lives of grad students/law students/med students Exedra. Friend me if you like!

    Hey, I'm not a student anymore but I just wanted you to know that I lost my original weight (just over 70lbs) whilst doing my PhD. I went from obese to "normal" BMI during that time. I have maintained the loss for nearly 5 years and am now trying to lose a little more (to make running easier). So just wanted to say: It can be done :-)

    That's way better than I did. I gained AAAALLLL my weight (well, almost all) during my Ph.D. It wasn't until I finished up and was able to focus on myself for a while that I started losing. I started my post-doc at 450+ pounds and intend to finish it at my goal weight! :)

    I did my bar prep a few years ago but feel free to add me.

    Massachusetts took so long to grade the stupid exam, I had all but forgotten about it by the time the letter came. I think my parents were probably more excited about the letter than I was (relieved I wasn't moving back in I suppose :laugh: ).

    I opened the letter, saw the first word in bold "Congratulations" and that was all I read.. I ran back to the house shouting "I passed!" My parents were excited. I still have that letter somewhere in the house.

    Nip it and nip it now! You have GOT at make time for yourself. I know that's hard to say with the course and research load, but it's just something you really have to do. Even if you never step foot in a gym, focus on the food you're consuming.

    An other med student right here!
    Glad to see I'm not the only one here who is trying to balance health with their studying demands.
    It's hard to tell patients to work on their diet when mine is out of control !

    About to start my DNP program - terrifying. I could definitely use some friends who are also trying to avoid vending machine meals.

    Dinitrophenol is too toxic as a dieting aid - no wonder you are terrified. Consider a safer diet regimen!
