Hi there! I'm new here, decided to set up an account for the new year!

I'm a University student and I've put on a considerable amount of weight over the last several months, and am now looking to do something about it. I'm the heaviest I've ever been and am sick of not liking what I see in the mirror, and not being able to dress the way I'd like to! So I've decided to do something about it and I've set myself a goal!

So basically I'm looking to be a lovely and slim, more confident me!

Would love to kickstart everything with some friends to help along the way. :)

    Welcome! This site is great. I recommend it to everyone I run across interested in losing weight.

    It totally is tough being a university student and tackling weight loss - something I'm an expert at failing at haha. Its amazing how easy it is to pack it on through college. I'm trying to lose it as well but before I transfer to a new school.

    It does look fantastic, everyone seems very supportive! I've set myself a goal too, I'm going on holiday to New York and want to feel great about my body by then, I think it's great to have something to work towards, before starting at University I set myself the goal of losing weight and somehow did it, however that's gone down the drain since I've been here lol!

    I'm a first year too. I started my account to avoid the freshman 15 and to lose all my extra chub. :)

    I'm in my third year of college... I think we are all in a different boat because on top of our usual stresses of college, we also worry about weight. Let's be friends and motivate :)

    Welcome! =)
    I completely understand your NYC. Trust me, it's not fun shopping there if you don't have a slim body (I visited last summer).
    We are here to help give you that needed support!
    Good luck!!! XD

    Thank you all for the replies! Great to know there are other people in the same position as me. I know I just need to keep focussed and determined, I'm sure excersizing a bit of willpower will be a good challenge.

    Good luck to everyone and let's stay in touch!

    I am a recent college grad, and am now a full time 4th grade teacher! I have put on about 20 pounds over the last couple of years, and I am looking to get back down to where I feel comfortable in my body :) Good luck to all, and hope to see you all reach your goals!
