    I want to join please!! I live off campus this year, so I thankfully don't have to deal with the cafeteria food! But I think it's easier to fall off track here because I always have food, compared to last year on campus I'd have to go to the caf!

    I'm in too! I actually lost the "freshmen fifteen" but then gained it back over the summer... Yikes. In finals week now, can't wait for spring break!

    Weight gain...alllll from studying and trying to not fall asleep from all the boring material you have to read! How am i going to lose weight and study? all i do is sit and eat. but, since i've joined MFP at least i'm more mindful of what i'm eating and how many calories i'm consuming in a day.

    ok so for this group do you guys want to track progress made each week?? I'll make a table with everyone's start weight and we can weigh in weekly if you guys want. Which day works for everone? Want to start on Sunday with our weigh ins? and every week post what we are that Sunday and I'll keep track?

    How about on Sunday everyone puts their starting weight and goal weight.. how many weeks are we thinking? til summer\? we can just say 8 weeks!

    I like 8 weeks! I'm in another group, but we weigh in on Wednesdays, but I can weigh in any day really.

    Id love to join too :) Im in my second year...off campus aswell so at least I walk in and out everyday! I actually kinda eat better when im in college than I do at home. How do ye guys balance the healthy eating with the going out and drinking?? Since I started MFP ive pretty much been avoiding drinking at all..what about ye?

    How about mini weekly challenges aswell to keep us focused? :flowerforyou:

    that's a good idea!! Do you mean like little drink 10 glasses of water a day as a mini weekly challenge? or maybe exercising 60 minutes every day? or no late night snacking? stuff like that? I agree with you on eating better at school than at home. At home, I tend to binge at night actually, which is so unhealthy and is a really big problem i struggle with.I havent drank really either. I'd rather eat my calories than drink them haha but any ideas on mini weekly challenges??

    Ooh I like the mini challenges idea, that'll make me actually have something to work towards short term. And I'm in for weighing in weekly, any day really works for me.

    RE drinking your calories-I'm having trouble with this too! I've been trying to avoid those nights where you have a few drinks but don't really get drunk-instead I'm trying to save my alcohol consumption for nights that it'll actually be like a drunk night (haha wow that sounds kinda awful, but hey that's college sometimes, right?).

    Something I have trouble with-snacking while doing homework! I do it mindlessly and I don't think that's going away, gotta get healthier snacks!

    I'm not 21 yet so I am glad I dont have to deal with that yet :) Not for another 1.5 months anyways.
    my problem is that my major requires A LOT of projects, so I spend really late nights in the studio working, plus I have a part time job at a fast food place.

    Yeah exactly, just small things that will keep you on track during the week! Like maybe with the exercise we might have to log a certain amount by the end of the week? This week my mini challenge was to log at least 100minutes of exercise...Ive gone way over that though cos im at home this week so trying extra hard!:bigsmile:
    Thats a good way of dealing with the whole drink side of things. I hate wasting my money on drink and then ending up not even going out or it being a crappy night...like what was the point then ha!

    Feel free to add me aswell...would love to have some friends of similar age and situation :flowerforyou:

    Im in. I am going to school fulltime, work full time, and a single mom full time so my life can be prettty busy. After shopping around for a birthday dress I realized many clothes dont fit me anymore. I dont want my daughter to be 5 years old and say " I need to lose the baby weight:" I am up for the challenge. I will admit I am the worst dieter but with motivation I think that it will hlelp me in the long run.

    Sounds super awesome!

    CW: 186
    GW (for 8 weeks): 178
    Final goal: 150 (but that's wayyy in the future)

    I know that may not seem like a lot to any of you, but I have a lot of medical issues and take a ton of meds that all cause weight gain, so ANY drop is a FANTASTIC thing. :-D
