Hey Guys,
I've found success with MFP before, but I'm now back after a long hiatus. I lost about 60 pounds and maintained for about 7 years. While applying for graduate school I began gaining weight from stress (boooo!). Now that I'm back in school I've gained even more weight back (double boooo!). Now I'm back on MFP with a goal of getting back to my original weight (losing around 50 pounds again ).
I would love any new motivated friends (all my old friends left). Would be great if I could find some fellow students to commiserate with!
Thanks!
Misha
P.S. I'm planning on taking it slow and steady like last time. That means maintaining a calorie limit of about 1,500 and working out for 45 minutes 4 or 5 days a week. I'm just looking to make consistent progress
(slow and steady)

Hi Misha,
You sound just like me except I haven’t lost a huge amount of weight. I am also a grad student and it is so stressful! I will be done Dec 2019. Since I started grad school last year I have gained about 30 lbs, but I was just at my highest weight last month at 273 now I’m trying to lose 100 lbs in a years time or so. I’m also taking it slow. I want to lose 1.5 lb a week and keep my caloric intake of just 1680 for now. I have just been working out 4 times a week and I’m trying to increase that to 5, but it’s hard. I need to be a mom also! Feel free to add me welcome back!2 -
