My name is Marlee and I'm about to be a junior in college where I am studying creative writing and anthropology. If you're like me, you know about the trials and tribulations of balancing diet & exercise with school and everything that comes with it. I've been on this site for about two or so months and while it has been working for me, I feel like I'm missing out on the motivation that having a community on a site like this truly brings.

I would love to make to internet buddies to help me get rid of these last 20 lbs and I would be happy to do the same. So what do you say? Join me. :smile:

    I'm a senior ( yay last semester... minus summer) I'm definitely feeling the crunch of trying to balance my final papers and my workouts and dieting. I'm an English major so I'm swamped with 20 page papers. It's hard but we can do it!

    Junior here too! The past few weeks wrecked my diet . I'm in finals week right now and at least holding on to my challenge of doing 6 hours of exercise per week.. As soon as finals are over I'm getting back on track!

    I will Graduate with my associates degree in 2012. Then off to finish my bachelors degree. I will finish that in 2014. I am studying to be a science teacher.

    I find I have trouble getting all the exercise I should trying to balance my school schedule, my homework, my kids, and my hubby. I set my exercise level to sedentary so that even though I was not sitting down all the time, I would not eat too many calories.

    Good luck to you with school and the healthy lifestyle. You can add me if you want.

    This is so awesome! Thank you all for responding and please add me if you'd like. I will accept!

    Currently in the midst of finals and trying my darndest to be healthy and remember to exercise. But those french fries look so good! I've been trying to avoid bread and pasta because I know I'll overload on it because of my stress.

    So weird you posted this....I was about to post something like this too! I'm about to end my freshman year, and I (finally) decided on a major...Interior Design! We'll see how long I'll stick with it though...
    I'm trying to lose some pounds before school ends, and really bunker down this summer to get to my goal before I go back in August. It's so difficult with finals and classes though! Glad I found this. :)

    Hi :) My name is Megan and I'm also in college studying a variety of things. Right now I'm studying deaf studies and creative writing. But I definitely know all the hard work and failure that goes into trying to lose weight while keeping up with school and everything.
    I would love to be internet buddies with you though!

    Hii, I'm a sophomore at a community college myself about to transfer to a 4 year university. It is ridiculously hard to keep the weight off with school being so tough and stressful. Seems like you can't study without chewing on something right? One tip to help you keep going is looking at the "Success Stories" board, they have some truly inspiring pictures.

    first year college student, creative writing major, possible anso minor! crazy! I know exactly what you mean about the school food--what I try to do is eat my own food 2-3 times a week for lunch in between classes instead of going to the caf. My mom really helps with that too, sending me back with loads of fruits and vegetables whenever I go home for a weekend.

    I am exercising, I just have problems making time to do it so by the time I finish my work and other daily tasks, the day is basically over and I'm too exhausted to do anything.
