Hello everyone!
I am very new to this whole thing. I am a little over halfway through college and I realized that throughout my college career, I have gained 20 lbs...about 10 of them in the past few months. So, I am here to try and lose them. My minimum goal is to lose 15 lbs by September 1st, but hopefully I can lose all 20!

I've never been good at sticking with trackers and keeping tabs on my food and exercise, but the environment here is very friendly and I see there are plenty of success stories to read to keep me motivated! I am excited to start my journey! :)

Good luck with youe 20 pounds. like you I'm in college and I gained about 30 pounds in the 3 years =[ but i've been working hard and lost 20 pounds on my own sense last year and just added 2 more pounds to that sense I lost this week. I do have a long way to go put hopefully with all this support on here I can lose more. Good luck -Brittany-

    Thanks for all your help! The motivation here is awesome! I just purchased 30-day Shred after reading so many inspirational stories. Hopefully that will help me shred some lbs!

    haha. definitely can relate. college for me means surrounded by pizza and alcohol, hence the weight that I need to lose!

    Hi there, I wasn't real good with tracking either, but this site is great. Plus the facebook page. Then I added the app to my phone and it became even easier. More you use it the easier it becomes. Add lots of friends to your page to keep you going!!!!!!! Good luck!!!!!! You can add me.
