in Introduce Yourself
Hello,
I'm actually not new to myfitnesspal. The site helped me to lose 7 pounds but I gained them all back (and more) when college started..
I don't know much about college systems in America or England, but in Croatia we are very busy.
My day looks like this: waking up early in the morning, going to college and being there from 8 am till 7 pm with one hour break for lunch, going home, having dinner, studying (at least 4 hours), sleeping. I hate it...
When I was in high school I had so much time... I was working out, walking to school and walking home from school, walking my dog, rollerblading, running.... I don't do that anymore. Due to studying during the night, I eat during the night and have no time to burn that calories because after studying I have to catch some sleep :/

If there's someone who understands that way of living, having similar difficulties, or just wants to help me by supporting me and giving me motivation, be free to add me:)

    Wow! That sounds like a challenge. I understand not having free time in college -- but you can start losing weight and keep your grades up as well :) Good luck!

    I am a Junior in College and I understand the stresses of college and not having time although my schedule is not as busy as yours. If you want any advice or just to talk and want support feel free to add me.

    WOW that is a challenging schedule! But the good thing is you want to do something about it and start working out again.
    I am also a full time college student and I help out at my church and also like to join clubs on campus because it looks great on your transcript, and I still have to juggle doing homework, keeping the house clean and feeding my family. Oh and sleep. That doesn't leave much room for working out or eating healthy.

    One thing that I have learned to do is find workouts that you can do sitting down while your in class, and carrying around healthy snacks, when your starving that apple begins to look like the best thing ever! LOL I also carry nuts in my back pack. They are great for energy.
