Hi everyone! So I am a 22 year old graduate student looking to lose about 30 pounds. I am sooo ready to wear a bikini since I LOVE the beach and love to swim! My biggest fear is having a bad day, eating tons of food, and then calling the diet quits. But really, I want this to be a lifestyle change. I'd love to make some friends and companions along this journey, so feel free to add me as a friend : )

    Hii!!.. I just started using the online version of MFP (I've been using the iPhone app) and the community seems great. I am a 22 year old grad student too looking to feel better in a bikini:)

    The hardest part of weight loss for most people is the decision to lose weight. Most people on here have had a "Bad" day. But, the cool thing is; everyday is a new day. New Calorie count, and a new chance to burn some more calories. Biggest piece of advice that I could give, is to be prepared. Have the good food ready and available, or it becomes to easy to rationalize, and reach for the bad food. Good Luck, you have already completed the hardest part of your journey. The journey of a thousand miles, begins with one step.
