    Thanks, what's your major? I think losing the weight helped with my confidence in going back to school. I was a web designer/developer but I want the magic piece of paper so I am in school for Comp sci.

    We're already friends but I'll check in to this thread in case other college kids wanna add me :) I'm a full-time studio art student (minor in creative writing that I'm finishing up this semester) and I graduate in May! The final two semesters have been super hectic, definitely, but I'm definitely excited (and a little sad) to finish school.

    I am going back to school for my second degree, and working full time, it's SUCH a challenge. I'm only just finishing my first semester, and I definitely noticed a change in how i was loosing weight once the stress started and my schedule changed. The nice thing about school is having access to a gym for free....but honestly finding time to get there is a challenge in itself!

    First Degree: Media Communications and Rechnology (I work as a Graphic Designer and Video Editor)
    Second Degree: Biological Science (Want to work in an environmental field i.e. park ranger, education specialist)

    Good Luck in your journey, open to friend requests : )

    I'm done with academia. I have my Ph.D. in finance. I lifted weights all through highschool and undergrad, it wasn't until my master's program, marriage, post doc, kids, businesses that I really put on serious weight, so I know the hecticness...

    Always nice to find other motivated people... Some more motivation is Lect's thread of just before/after success "stories" even though there are no stories, it's a picture-only thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/404049-the-ultimate-pic-thread-only-pictures

    And there's mine: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/403233-lost-96lbs-and-made-top-10-in-physique-contest

    Feel free to add me,

    Feel free to add me. I work full time, but I am back in school 3 nights a week starting in January. I already have two associates degrees. One in business administration and one in psychology. I am going back to get my bachelors. I'm going for a dual degree in finance and risk management and insurance.

    I'm in college majoring in Pharmacy. I also have a son who is 1 and a half years old. You can add me if you want! I just came back to MFP three days ago after leaving months ago. I'm hoping having friends will encourage me to stay this time. =)

    I am a graduate student getting my second Master's degree. I have a BBA in Management Information Systems, an MBA, and I am now getting my MS in Information Systems. My goal is to get my PhD. in IS. I put on a lot of weight in college and even more when I started working there. I got a job at my undergraduate and MBA college in 2009 and have been working there since. It was hard to resist the pizzas, cookies, and other treats offered. I really hope the campus will offer healthier options to students at some point.
