Hi everyone!

I'm looking for new friends to help motivate/seek motivation from! If there are any college students out there, add me! It's so hard trying to be healthy during "the best years of your life."

(of course I'm not limiting friends to just college students!)

best of luck!

    I'm also a college student, going through college the second time and working as well. It's tough to eat right and find time to exercise when so much is going on! Feel free to friend me, and hopefully we can motivate each other. :)

    Hey there!

    I understand what you mean - eating between classes is tough, especially when you have limited time and choices. Going to the gym is fun, but hard to find time for.

    College student here! I live in smack-dab in the middle of the big apple, and between searching for a job, working a full-time school schedule, and of course studying for my classes, I'm trying to lose the thirty pounds I put on since I moved back to the city two years ago.

    I've managed to lose 5 pounds since joining this website a little over a week ago, so it's going well, but boy is it difficult sometimes.

    Anyway, I'm Joey, and I'll be of support to anyone's weight-loss (even weight-gain) cause. Just hit me up!

    Class of 2012. :) Not a college student for long haha.
    I'm at Michigan State and am a French major with two minors and a secondary education specialization
    = SUPER busy

    Anyways my case is that my homework load has kept me from doing little to no exercise and over the past couple years I've gained about 30 lbs (all the beer didn't help either ;D ).

    Trying to get back in shape slowly but surely. :D

    I'm in college too! I'm in my last year (hopefully) and what with work and school it is very hard to find time to eat. We don't have very many healthy options on campus so I have to literally plan out everything I'm gonna eat the night before and pack all my food for the day. (i'm on campus 12 hours a day m-th) It is doable though! Feel free to add me!

    In my last semester of graduate school if that counts?I lost the freshmen 15 my first year in undergrad but grad school made up for that because I gained 12 last semester. I work 40+ hours/week between my job and internship, and take 4 courses a semester so my days usually go from 7a-10p. Didn't have time to think about exercising and eating right...was just trying to maintain my sanity lol. Luckily I've lost the weight using MFP since January. Biggest factor was packing my food for the day .

    If only I could learn to love exercise...
