since starting uni i have gained 10lb
whether from drinking more, or finally being able to choose what i eat and choosing take aways -- -

feeling pretty miserable. if i hadn't gained this i would have lost a total of 23lb!

could i lose the 10lb by the end of january and then get cracking on the other 30lb?

:( plus it's christmas next week! i will never be able to lose over christmas, although i want to go back to uni having lost 5lb.

    I think losing 5 pounds in a month is a much more reasonable goal, given the fact that next week is Christmas.

    A pound a week should be your goal. Nobody in college is going to care that you gained weight. Christmas is just one day, focus on keeping on track for the rest of them.
