Legends of the Hidden Temple - CLOSED Challenge

Hello. I've been in college forever it seems. I want to become a nurse and if things go smoothly, I should be graduating in the spring of next year. I've gained 30 pounds in nursing school but managed to lose 29 pounds in about 4 months. I believe I can lose a little more weight, especially belly fat... ugh. Anyway, I currently weight 146 pounds. I'm still taking summer classes so it has been a pretty stressful summer for me. I'm glad to be here!

As for teams. Hmm. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll go with the blue barracudas! Woohoo! Go blue team!

Hey everyone,
My name is Leanne (wish i'd put that in my username!). I'm 19 and in my second year majoring in Human Nutrition and minoring in Food service management. I have one year left in my degree then I hope to do post grad in dietetics but its quite competitive so who knows if i'll get in.

I struggle with stress eating which is the reason I have weight to lose. I love going to the gym but tend to think of it as a treat and often feel guilty for going to the gym instead of studying so i'm working on that.

Height: 5'5
SW: 134lbs
weight last monday: 132lbs
GW: 110- 114lbs which i should hopfully reach before the end of this challenge and then i will work on getting a hot tonned body

My name is Kathy, I'm 20 years old and am in college studying ASL (American Sign Language) interpreting. I hope to do that and maybe study special education as well in order to work with Deaf and hard-of-hearing students. I decided to take only online classes this semester since I am planning on being an au pair in France this year (that is if I can get money for my flight costs) because I am kind of bored right now and said, "hey, why not?"

I will have my scale by next week so I'll give my measurements for now.
bust: 41
waist: 34
hips :41.5

As for teams, well I like birds so I think i'm going to have to go with the Purple Parrots. c:

BLUE BARRACUDAAS! Great idea for the challenge! My name's Katie, I'm a senior Accounting major. I started on MFP about a week ago and I've already lost 10 pounds! I think it's mostly water weight, but it's still a great motivator! I'll see you guys monday with my start weight!

Hey everyone,

I'm Ashley and I'm a 21 year old Mechanical Engineering major. I've spent the last 7 months doing a co-op (I'm on a 5 year program which is 4 years of school mixed in with 20 months of work rotations). When I started this last co-op I decided to get serious about losing all of my college weight, so I joined MFP and have lost 13-14 pounds so far! I had played a lot of sports in high school and tried to just focus on my studies when I went to college, which resulted in me gaining about 15 pounds. Now that I dont have to be an athlete anymore, I figure 125 is a good goal weight because I wont need huge bulky muscles like before. Plus, when I was playing sports I didnt do any training on my own and didnt find exercise enjoyable, so I had to teach myself how to enjoy running and going to the gym (It's not as easy to push yourself when you dont have opponents to beat or a coach blowing a whistle at you!) It's been a slow and steady process, but my main goal is once school starts in a few weeks to keep my portion sizes under control and work out 3-4 days a week.

SW: 146
CW: 133
GW: 125

As for teams, Purple Parrots!
