Hey I am a college student just trying to be healthier! I need more friends for motivation and so I don't get bored and delete the app. Plus, I am an exercise science major so I can sometimes offer some good advice!

    Superb major! Had a fascinating discussion last week about whether you can lose weight and not muscle mass...jury is still out on that one.

    I would think it depends on how you're losing the weight. But if you're just trying to lose fat and not muscle I say do low intensity work outs for longer durations.

    Wow. Great major! My first day of lecture, I was told NEVER to tell anyone that you're a Dr. or Psychiatrist (especially on an airplane)! My guess is that you telling people in MFP that this is your major is akin to that. lol

    Well were in the same boat. I set a goal for myself to reach by July. One is to look leaner and be at a certain weight and the other is to complete an Ironman 70.3 in October. I feel that with a set goal, I stay motivated. Been hitting the gym and cardio hard and this app is definitely keeping me on the straight and narrow when it comes to my over eating habits. Set a goal to attain and it will keep you from getting bored. And if your like me, turn it into a bet with someone else and it makes it that much more competitive and exciting.

    Never had anyone tell me that haha. They actually want us to talk about it since there are so many people out there who claim to be experts.
