I would love to connect with other students in college so we can support one another and help keep each other on track!

    Hi! I'm in college as well. I think it makes a lot of things more challenging, because you can't always monitor everything, and I know campus cuisine isn't always the healthiest. Nice to see other students on here.

    Sophomore reporting in :D this is my first year doing my weight loss journey as I go to school (I started this summer) and I'm a little nervous that I'll relapse because I don't think I'll have the time to workout or the money to constantly be eating health food gahhh

    I'm not in college anymore, but I sure do wish I'd have stopped the overweight thing then. Before i had to face diabetese, high BP and high chilies toro before I hit 30. Just saying make the change now before it is too late.

    I'm trying to FINALLY finish the last few classes I need so I can get my AS in Cosmetology and a few other AAs… I think I'll have more trouble convincing myself to stick with one of the classes I'm in (elementary algebra… I SUCK!) than with working out and keeping with portion control and such. I have my certificate and my license… I'm ready to be DONE with school and working. I'd still be working toward my goal of making weight to join the Navy/Army, ideally, but… just sick of my CC.

    (I had a bad Tuesday. I love two of the courses I'm in, but that math class broke my heart.)

    I'm a Uni student, I am 6 weeks away from officially finishing my first year, but I am planning on studying over summer so I'm not really done for the year. I'm planning on joining the gym in a months time as I am really busy with assignments and practicum at the moment and feel that I will be setting myself up to fail if I do it when feeling so overloaded.

    Hi! I'm almost 21 and I'm a uni student too. I'm so worried that working and studying and writing my thesis will get me off my path...:frown:

    Hi! I'm 1st year postgrad student starting school on September 1. After checking my schedule, I noticed that I have classes from 8-18 on Thursdays... Pretty rough, a bit worried about the nutrition. It's difficult to take the whole food with you that day, so I need to figure something out, since the food around campus is not only expensive but also mostly unhealthy....

    I've been doing my masters in medical science, while being very involved with a student organization. This semester I'm taking a break from the studies but still doing a bunch of student activities while working part-time. I know all too well that the college experience is the reason for my weight gain (I'm on my second go of MFP after losing a lot of weight and then gaining half of it back again).

    I know I'll have a big struggle ahead of me to get back on track when the semester and all "unhealthy" student activities start again, and it'd be nice with people who are in sort of the same boat as me :)

    Starting classes in two days but on campus already, this is going to be tough, bacon pizza in the dining hall and 100 dollar gym membership but I'm determined!

    Hey!

    Starting my second week of sophomore year today! Last year was really rough because healthy dining hall options at my school (or at least from what was around me) were limited to the soup and salad bar, and occasionally the stir-fry line. As that got boring pretty quick, the Freshman 15 (and then some) unfortunately became a reality for me. This year I have my own apartment, which means I'm learning to cook cheap, healthy meals for myself...I've actually lost a few pounds since I've been here already!

    Anyone please feel free to add me, I would love to have some college weight loss buddies! :)

    I just started my second year last month! I made some reverse progress over the past year, but I'm aiming to actually get fit this time! Feel free to add me. ^^ I'm a Korean major at University of Hawaii, by the way. :)

    I'm planning to start in January and I'm a little nervous about it. Coming over from Germany last July I only now received my work card and hope to get my green card within the next month so that I can finally apply for college. Hopefully I won't get sidetracked with everything being new and having so much to learn!
