Hi everyone,

I am Oliver, I currently live in Gainesville, FL and am attending the University of Florida. About four years ago I lost around 65 lbs and was very happy at 205 lbs. Here I am again starting over.

Graduate school has taken its toll over the last 2 years and I gained about 45 lbs, and am at 248 lbs right now. I want to get back to somewhere around 205-210 lbs. I started working out daily and also eating better and within a better calorie range. Logging my food and paying attention to work-outs got me to lose weight last time, and it will again this time.

Please feel free to send me friend requests.

Oliver

    I gained considerable weight during my PhD in Clinical Psych. I know the feeling. You can do this.
