    My current weight is 218, and I would ultimately like to get to 140. I've always had trouble keeping myself motivated so I think this would be a great way to keep myself on the wagon! I've just started a workout routine today, did about 40 mins of cardio today, and plan on keeping up at least that 5 times a week, maybe making my workouts a little more interesting. But I wouls love to learn some different techniques that you all use during your workouts!
    cardio killlllls me. I love weights and strength training! (i always get weird looks at the gym for that one...) do you run/eliptical/what?
    How do you stay motivated for 40 min straight? i get bored after like 20 usually

    To be honest, I'm not really sure lol. I listen to my iPod, as i'm sure most people do. And the treadmills at the gym on my campus has tvs on them, so if something's on, i'll watch that and sometimes forget how long I've been working out. As for now, I alternate between jogging on a zero incline, then switch to a brisk paced walk on about a 5 or 6 incline. Sometimes I'll switch it up and do 30 mins on the eliptical.

    I have netflix on my phone, so when I'm walking on the treadmill, I usually watch a few episodes of something and I don't even look at the time

    I'm a grad student in English, and you're all welcome to add me. I'm 5'3", and I had never been in a healthy BMI range until MFP (I just attributed to muscles and curves, which look even better now, btw) . I'm nearly at my goal of 130 (which was originally 135 because I thought there was no way it would happen). I prefer to play soccer, hike, and run, but I'm beginning to add in more strength training as well.

    I'm a senior Marine Bio major. I'm 23, 4'11 (so short! that's half the problem!) and currently weigh 130. My goal weight is 103 lb, because I used to be that weight before I had the terrible idea to take the Depo Provera shot... I'm 3ish months off it now and going to school plus working full time, and it is making it still difficult to get back to my ideal weight! I also am hoping to work out more and get into shape as well, so I hope I can find the motivation to make time for it. Feel free to add me!

    General Group Info:

    This group is for any female who's in college. It doesn't matter if you're an undergrad or grad student, full or part time, or what type of school you attend.

    Rules:

    1) No slamming. If you have criticism about someone or something in this group, there is a way to be constructive about it.
    2) No boys
    3) You have to be a college student when you join this group. When you graduate, you become an alumnus of the group--you may still participate if you want.

    Group Structure:

    Until MFP unveils its groups feature, the group will function on this thread.

    Weigh Ins: Will be once a week, on Wednesday. (day is subject to change) When you weigh in, report your weight THAT DAY--if you were lower the day before, it doesn't matter. With your weigh in, also report the change from the week before.

    Weekly Challenges: Will start on Wednesdays of each week. There will be one nutritional challenge each week, and one fitness related challenge each week. Results of the week's challenge will be posted on Wednesday mornings.

    Monthly Challenges: Will start on the 1st of each month. There will be only one monthly challenge.

    Weekly Discussions: Will be a motivational topic, related to health and staying healthy in college and the unique challenges the college environment gives to staying healthy. These will be posted on Wednesday of each week, and are open for discussion by group members throughout the week.


    *If anyone would like to add anything to this structure, or change anything, please PM me.*

    I think this is a great idea because not everyone understands. I'm a Senior Management Information Systems major.
