    Hey, while we're here I have a question!
    Do you guys think a minor in health and wellness would be totally useless if I'm not looking to be any kind of doctor? Thing is, it's only 19 credits and I think it'd interest me, but I can't think of anything I can do with that and business management unless I want to run weight watchers!

    That actually sounds really cool and I wish our school had that. If you can fit it, I say go for it :)

    Here is the spreadsheet..

    http://tinyurl.com/summerofchangedata

    Tell me if you can see it (this is key), I made it on my school email google documents account so I'm not sure if everyone can see it.
    The reason it says: Total weight lost, then how much you weigh is because we haven't had a weigh-in yet. Once we do the first weigh-in that will change. I put in a formula so it should change automatically when I enter in new data for each week.

    I was just going to do all of the changing, if that's ok with everyone. If we have too many people doing to editing then it may get confusing.
    I hope this is ok with everyone.

    I'd love to join! Are grad students welcome? Here are my stats, in case you'll let me play:

    Name: whiskyzee
    Age: 25
    Major/minor: PhD English Lit.
    Why you want to join this group?: I need a little competition and support from people who understand the struggles of healthy living in college (have you ever seen the typical grad student's schedule?!)
    Goals for summer: Develop healthy habits that will carry me through the school year, get ready for a big move to a new school in a warm climate, gain a little more self-confidence so that I don't always feel like I'm faking my life, beat my fastest 10k time, finally finish War and Peace (discipline is discipline, right?)
    SW: 148
    CW: 144
    GW (for August 30th): 130-135 (never been below 140--not sure what my healthiest weight is)

    Oh yay! Hello kiddies. I like this idea. Everyone is more than welcome to add me by the way =]

    Name. Amanda
    Age. 20
    Major. Zoology
    Why do you want to join? I don't really have any friends working out or trying to be healthy other then my girlfriend so we tend to be taking shots in the dark when it comes to trying to be healthy. It's awesome to have a resource such as myfitnesspaland bodybuilding.com bbut it would be so much better to have a support network... Not to mention I love the idea of little competitions. And I'm also secretly hoping some of you guys might have awesome tips for eating healthy while being a poor college student.
    Goals for summer? I don't really have any specific goals other than have fun, train for rugby, and do the best I can.
    SW. 203lbs (was 210 but lost a bit before starting mfp)
    CW. 199.6lbs
    GW. 185-180lbs by August 30th (150lbs is my final goal but that might change)
