I am in accounting and my double major is Englishand I am a sophmore. I eat lean cuisines three times a day and eat 4 snacks that include fruit and I drink lots of water. I try to I.corporate my work out to what fits my schedule of two jobs and every night evening classes...which I don't work out too often but changing my diet helped dramatically...0

Hey everyone,
I'm a junior in a private college in Florida. I'm majoring in Psychology and thinking about double majoring in business. I've had an eatind disorder for 9 years and I struggle with it a lot lately, I've never weighed this much in my life and I'd like to get down to 130, so 25 pounds. Starting tomorrow I'm going to get back on track, keep up with my food diary, my feelings and what i'm eating. I'm hopefully going to hit the gym tomorrow at school and meet some new people and I'm looking for zumba classes near my town as well, I hear it's a great workout.

Hi guys!
I'm a junior at a private art college in Chicago. I was a photo major up until about two weeks ago when I switched to Early Childhood Education.
I have a number of reasons to lose weight (listed in a notebook I take everywhere for a little extra personal support throughout the day) but I think the main reasons are that I have pretty low self esteem and have some extra stress eating around people. For example, anytime I'm out with friends I always wait for them to finish their food first even if they order more than I do. Oh, and when friends come over I won't ever lean on them if I'm tired or rest against them in any way with my full weight on them (like putting my legs on their lap, I always make sure I'm not relaxed so I can keep some of it off of them...) Also, I want to stop having to shop in the plus size section. It's not somewhere I personally want to be, especially because I'm only 19.
Like I said though, a lot of reasons (and a lot that I don't think other people have. Maybe they do? It'd be nice to know I'm not the only person who does stuff like this!)
I joined MFP about a month ago and since then I'm down about 15 lbs somehow (I think my starting weight was overestimated a little because the scale I started with was pretty old/faulty.) Since then I've been watching what I eat and trying to exercise at least 15 minutes a day and hopefully for 30. I've heard/read that an hour a day is best but I have asthma which makes things like that more difficult than they should have to be.
I'm 5' 9" and my starting weight was (cringe!) 240. I'm down to 225 now and am not sure where I'd like my goal weight to be...somewhere below 150 for a rough estimate.
Oh! And my name is Jackie. Nice to meet you!

Hi my name is Hannah and I'm a nursing student at Northeastern University in Boston.
My goal weight is 170 right now but it all really depends on how I look and feel. I want to lose weight so I can feel better physically and mentally. I also want to be able to set a good example for my patients one day. How can I take care of others if I can't properly care for myself?
Any other nursing majors here?0 -
Hello My name is Kayla, and I'm currently in my last semester of online classes until I graduate. I'm majoring in English, with a focus on literature.
I've struggled with my weight and self esteem for as long as I can remember, and when I booked a cruise for May, I decided that I wasn't going to be ashamed to put on a bathing suit again. I've found that my weakness is Starbucks, so I've switched to the light versions, and watched my other foods as well. I also joined a gym with my mom, so we keep each other motivated.
I'd like to lose 25 pounds, but as long as I look good I'll be happy with any number!0 -
Hey!
My names Brittany and I'm a sophomore studying biomedical engineering. I've been overweight basically since the 5th grade, but have stayed really active by playing varsity basketball and track in high school and then a year of college track. This past year my course load got to heavy so I had to let sports go :frown: . As a result my waistline has become very unhappy with me. I'd like to be healthier and lose the weight so that I can feel good about myself and hopefully inspire my parents (who are also overweight) to change their ways. I'm 5'10 and hope to lose about 40 lbs. 0 -
Hey my name is Tam. This is my first semester of college, going for an associates in applied science ( to be an R.N)

Hello! My name is Megan and I am a freshman at Miami University (of ohio). I signed up for my first ever warrior dash this summer so I joined mfp so I can try to eat better and get back into shape!

Hi guys! I'm Amanda, I'm a Social Science Education major. I recently added a Political Science minor. I might be psychopathic, not sure yet. Basically the thing that has been challenging for me is being lazy. I'm lazy anyway, but college opens up a lot of opportunities to make excuses for my laziness. And, I think that's it.0

My name is Jaymee I am a student at College of the Desert. I am in the Nursing program. I gained 25 pounds my first semester... I didn't even think that was possiable. I guess it is. I weigh 195 as of today, I am 5'9 and I have never weighed this much in my life! Last year at this time I was 165... I am ashamed ... But I figure with small changes and being accountable for the food I stick in my pie hole, my weight should start going the other way...
I have 3 kids, 2 exchange students, I work fulltime on an ambulance and a fulltime student. Not much time to work out. So here I am!0 -

I'm finishing my PhD in Archaeology. It sure is hard digging when you are fat! So that's one of my main motivators. Also, Lara Croft looks great...why shouldn't I!0

Hi! I'm a first year Ph.D. student in New Jersey, and I'm studying Criminal Justice. I also work part-time (in addition to full-time studies and research), so my schedule is a bit crazy. I've been doing Zumba for Wii and the Brazilian Butt Lift workout program at home to burn calories.
Feel free to add me for support!0 -
Does that Brazilian butt lift thing really work? haha0

Hi I just started posting today. I'm a first year university student at the University of Toronto (Canada). I'm going for a bachelor of arts in the social sciences. I'm looking to major in sociology with a minor in anthropology and religion. But after my four years, I have no idea what I'm going to do.
Question, do any of you use the gym at your school? I occasionally go, and the set up at my school is a cardio centre up stairs, and weight machines downstairs with a few cardio machines as well. I find that all the girls go upstairs to the cardio area, but I like to use weights in my workouts, to gain some lean muscle. But then I end up being all alone surrounded by a bunch of guys. It can ge a bit awkward, and then I become a bit self conscious. (I think I'm the queen of the world, and obviously all the guys in the gym would be looking at me because I'm hot:laugh:). And because of my self consciousness, I don't workout as hard as I can because I don't want to get sweaty in front of all these guys (stupid, I know). So I was just wondering, How other people handle the gym situation.0 -

Hi guys, I'm Andrea
I'm a full time Industrial Engineering student also working for a minor in Mathematics. I also work full time 34 hours a week or more. Its tough trying to stay healthy with so much stress and such a hectic schedule.
I'm looking to get in shape to keep up with my super fit boyfriend. He's supported me through some extremely stressful and difficult times this last year. He's taken such good care of me it's time I started taking care of myself.0 -

I used be a thrower on the college track and field team and we always worked out with the football players. That's a LOT of testosterone in one place :laugh: Anyway I tend to ignore all the male attention and focus on my workout. Doing your own thing shows dedication and your not just there to get noticed by guys (like I see some other females do in the gym). After a couple weeks of this I find that guys come talk to me and we talk about lifting and working out. Soon you'll just be one of the guys unless you have ulterior motive then idk

HI All, name is Helen
I'm 23 years old, and I'm a final year BSc Sport and Exercise Science student - on track for a first class honours.
I used to be a competitive athlete, competitions etc...then I put on weight after I got injured which led me to stop exercising, eat crap to comfort myself and get depressed. I'm getting back on track now!
I find the days I'm at university messes up my eating plans - classes starting at 12.....break at 2...finishing at 5.30pm.... I usually only manage to get up at like 10am which isn't good if I want a good breakfast etc.
I want to lose 50lbs, get back into hockey and play for the local teams again!
I want to work in a sport and exercise science lab, possibly specialise in exercise for health, as well as do freelance personal training (once I lose weight I can get on to this) ....
I also played a lot of golf when I was younger and I'm relatively talented - played in a few competitions, went to an academy etc, so I would like to take it up again and try to get to a high competitive level!
Basically I want my old athletic, lean body back! I think I could add extra value to personal training and gym sessions as I know how it feels to be 3-4 stone overweight, so I know the struggles both physically and mentally that people go through! Before, when I was a competitive Athlete, I admit I never thought how hard it could be to be overweight - I was physically and mentally able to do anything, but now I've experienced overweight, I can totally understand the struggles!
Well here's hoping I can make a difference after I have got my old self back !
BTW: I'm a UK student!0 -
Hi guys
I'm Hannah, I graduated from Lancaster University with a 2.1 (hons) in English Literature last year, and I'm currently preparing to undertake a MA in Medieval Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London. I started an MA in Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies at the University of Nottingham back in September, but for a number of reasons I had to withdraw. Second time lucky, living from home so I won't have quite the same financial issues, and I'll be in a loving, family environment to help me deal with my personal issues.0 -
Hi, I'm a Mathematics student in Wales, UK - in my final year so everything is so hectic! Weekdays are pretty much 9am-9:30pm every day, so I'm finding it so hard to fit exercise in. Managing to keep my meals reasonably healthy, but want to crack down on my snacking (i.e. my daily chocolate bar!) and reduce the amount of processed foods I eat. My starting weight was 200lbs: I'm now down to about 174 and I'm hoping to get down to about 155-160, although I'm trying to focus more on my measurements than my weight. My first aim was to get into the healthy weight range (I'm 5'11'' so the top end of the healthy weight range is about 176); now I'm there, I want to lose a little more fat and gain a little more muscle Hoping to find some motivation on here - everyone seems so supportive from all the discussion threads I've looked at and it's always good to have support when you're trying to break old habits I think! 0
