edited October 3 in Introduce Yourself
I dont think I've ever officially introduced myself. I join MFP at the end of last month. I am currently a full time student (currently online). In two weeks I'll be working full time :happy: I joined MFP because I was using an app on my phone called calorie counter but I stopped using it after two weeks. I like MFP better because you can talk to other people with similar goals. Im looking for other college students like myself to has made it a priority to live a healthier life. I lost 40lbs before joining MFP and plan to lose another 25lbs.

    Hi! I am an old member (but I just started to use MFP so I feel new too), but I am starting school online on 10/19 and I worried about finding time to work out between school and taking care of my kids. I will find a way though because I don't want to go back to being like I am now. :)

    I work full time and part time and am attending Grad school for my MBA! It has been a whirlwind trying to find a balance with school in the picture (My program is 7 weeks per class so the workload is crazy!!) I have determined that I will go with the flow and get a workout in regardless each day except for Tuesdays (I work 8-4, class 6-10). So right now, I work out Su, M, W, Th, Fr, Sa and alternate AM or PM based on how tired I am. I know that if I struggle to get out of bed to RUN (which I LOOOOOVE) at 5 AM then I am tired and need the extra two hours sleep before I have to be up for work. I will run later on. If my group for class needs to meet when I would typically work out, I move it around for that day. All in all...it's not easy but making exercise a priority is crucial for my sanity :-) Good luck with your studies and congrats on the full time job!!!!

    Hey there! I'm a full time college student and part time retail slave, myself. My weight goal is different than yours but I can relate a lot with the lifestyle. :)

    Its hard to make exercising a priority especially when you life changes consistently. I do not have any children. But i do have a 10 year old lil brother who drives me up a wall daily lol. But I know im going to have to push to keep working out. My new job is going to require me to work midnight-8:30am which I think will help me when I transfer to another college for my Bachelors degree. I wont be living on campus but commuting back and forth. I needed a full time job so i can pay my tuition quicker (i go to community college so it easier too pay cash now so thats less to worry about later) and Im hoping to save up money for a truck since the car is a P.O.S. and a 4x4 drives better in the snow.
