... and it feels great! I put on rather a lot of weight during my PhD (no thanks to comfort food and being completely unmotivated to cook more than a pizza for dinner) and I need to shed it - it's not good to be so tubby.

Here are some pics.

    I have to say, I absolutely love your style! I, too, have issues with weight gain during particularly tough semesters (and I'm just doing my undergrad at the moment).

    I feel you! I hope you find it easier to keep as healthy as possible but university acccommodation is not a fitness haven. Good luck with your degree too :smiley:

    Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. Good luck reaching your goals!

    I too struggle with eating during stressful studying or when I am facing high expectations on my job. Congratulations on your weight loss and the PhD! You rock!
