in Introduce Yourself
Hello all! I will be a junior next semester and I am hoping to continue logging onto MFP. My goal is to lose 40 lbs overall. Looking for some supporters and motivators. I'm pretty good at motivating others, if I say so myself :)

    Hi! it's awesome meeting you all. I agree trying to stay healthy in uni is no easy task :/ I have just about 15 pounds I'm hoping to lose. But more importantly trying to stay active and healthy. I welcome all new friends to help each other stay motivated :)

    Feel free to add me! I will be a senior next semester...holy cow where has the time gone! Anyway, I'm hoping to loose 20-25 pounds but most importantly be active and eat healthy. It's very hard in college to do it but I'd love to support others and inspire each other!

    Anyone in residence at their college? We have a mandatory meal plan and the company (Aramark) doesn't offer many healthy choices. What do you all do?

    Hey! I'm living in a residence hall and I also have a mandatory meal plan. Thankfully, my dorm building is getting a kitchen next semester (woohoo). Last semester, I just tried to load up on the veggies in the dining hall and I would bring tupperware too if it was a busy day. Also, I stole tons of fruit haha.

    I'm a college student too, just about to start my junior year! It really is tough, especially since it is my first time living on my own. I go through periods of good eating followed by that typical college diet, and I have seen the results of all of those.. Liquid calories (I have to admit that I am totally a beer girl). I don't want to give up going out and having fun, so I am working on meeting my calorie and exercise goals during the week to make up for it.

    Hi im bri im going to be a junior next semester as well! I would like to lose about 15 lbs and tone before returning to school in the fall. I'd love to hear about how all of you guys are planning to handle the college lifestyle and trying to lose weight at the same time (drinking and late night eating are my weaknesses)! Feel free to add me :) good luck everyone!

    I've just finished my 2nd year at Uni in Staffordshire. The thing that bothers me the most about getting in shape is that after 8-9 hours of doing assignments I won't have the energy to exercise each day. It's easy being in a routine over the summer while I have little else to do and the weather's nice but when it starts getting dark at 3.30 and it's raining every day it'll be really challenging. I'll make sure I find a way to manage though, it's not impossible.

    Feel free to add!

    Howdy yall! I'm a junior right now taking summer classes at my community college, so i think I might be a senior by the end of summer. But, I still have two years of college at Texas A&M University at Galveston. I can't stand taking a ton of hours per semester. I still need to lose 100+ pounds.
    I haven't had any sugary treats (cake, cookies,etc...) in just over a week (plus not a lot of foods with added sugar). Nor caffine... and have been run down. I'm trying to exercise everyday, but summer classes are a lot tougher than I thought.
    I recently broke my ankle (twice) during the spring semester and just now starting to get back on my feet without the use of a crutch for short distances.
    My short-term goal is to be down to a XL by next spring semester so I could buy and wear a pretty dress to the Maritime Ball.

    Feel free to friend this Aggie! :)
