I don't know about the rest of you but I am SUPER excited to be able to dedicate my entire summer to my weight loss and not school work :-D!!!!! I think it would be cool if we started a challenge to see how much weight we lose from the 1st day of summer vacation till our first day of fall semester! How about it???? Anyone up for a summer support group?

    Well, I am a grad student and will be working all summer - but not having the papers & projects to work on will definitely help! I am planning to start P90X June 1st so that I can really work hard all summer. Wouldn't mind being brought into this group. :smile:

    Grad students are most welcome as well :-D!!!!

    I am up for it. I am so sick of school! I would rather not go back in fall, but I have to finish. I have my final exam next week.

    Calling all college/grad/HS/etc. students out there... How much can you lose for your Alma Mater?

    For me:
    WE ARE... PENN STATE!!!

    Fabulous! I only have about 15-20 more lbs to go, and I am slowly going in that direction. Hoping to lose it all by September 19th when I am going to a conference in Vegas (so goal of beginning of the semester is pretty reasonable!).

    I'll create a facebook page if you have one so that it's easier to find all the members!

    I've still got a couple more weeks of hell before freedom. I'm done on the 21st. After that I'll be working full time at a math camp! When I'm not working, I'll be working out!

    I am really hoping I can go back to school my senior year and nobody will be able to recognize me!

    I'm in! But my summer doesn't start until June 9th, and then I'll be working full time. But I'm still up for the challenge! Not having the urge to do a bunch of stress eating will be really really nice :happy:

    i'm in! i finish finals on thursday! i'm finishing up my junior year at tulane in new orleans right now, and i'll be staying down here for the summer working so i definitely want to focus on my weight loss for the summer since i'm going to have a lot more free time (and a lot more opportunity to slip up since i turn 21 in a month!) i made one of my friends change my facebook password until the end of finals, so i'll join the facebook page on thursday when i get it back!

    Okay I joined the FB group. Though I am more likely to check MFP than a FB group page, honestly. :tongue:

    Definitely in!! As I type this from the library while I put off studying for tomorrow's first two finals... Hahah whoops. Never thought I'd use MFP to procrastinate. Excited to be done Wednesday though :)

    yet another reason for me to look forward to finals ending - i made one of my friends change my facebook password so that i couldn't go on facebook until finals are over (now i guess i need her to change my MFP password, too, because I'm doing just as much procrastination with this)! but once i finish all these stupid papers i'll join the group.

    and as for me, TULANE UNIVERSITY, ROLL WAVE!!!

    I really need someone to change my passwords as well! LOL... and as for Tulane, I've receive a lot of mail from them when I was a senior in HS! They were one of my options.

    I'm definitely up for this. This will also be the first time I have been home during the summer in 5 years. My mom has also been using MFP and has lost a little over 60 pounds and is still going so she will be a big motivation for me.

    Oh! Count me in!

    My summer starts May 14th, and while I will be working, I'll also be making time for more exercise! I'm seriously considering joining a marathon training group next month to run a half marathon in the fall.
