College kid here! Graduating in December of this year with my BS in Agribusiness! It's very tough to focus on school, work, exercise, and eating healthy. Also, to add to all of this, I'm planning a wedding for August 11th! Good luck to everyone and feel free to friend me!0

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...
You are incredible!!! I wish I have the nerve to try more than one class a semester!!
Remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you will enjoy being on the other side of it!!0 -
Heya, finishing my final year of Uni right here....which is stressful beyond belief!! Always happy to make new friends I lost a fair bit of weight in my first year...though that was mainly due to lack of money and a very bad habit of not bothering to make food when I didn't want to deal with crappy flatmates...trying again a more healthy way this time though0

College senior here....nursing major.
I'll second what the pre-med major said - it's hard to take care of others if you're not taking care of yourself.0 -
Hey, if you'd like to ad me feel free .
I think I speak for every one when I say eating right whilst going to university is soooo hard because your schedule is really messed up.
I feel bad for the people in dorms more so because they don't really have access to the same way of making meals!0 -
College student checking in from Santa Cruz! Engineering student.
It's tough because I tend to be so busy, and the on campus options tend to be very limited!

Biosystems and Mechanical Engineering junior!
Two jobs + two majors + 5 student organizations + social life (not much of one haha) = crazy busy.
Bought some cool lunch boxes last year that make sure I pack lunch (and usually dinner) to bring to campus every day (12-14 hours/day on campus is the norm!)
Anyone feel free to add me! :-)0 -
3rd year business right here! Last semester coming to an end so it's been super stressful between all the group projects and exams now looking for a job for my work experience year and looking for an apartment, so much stress! It can be so hard to eat healthy when you just need a quick meal on campus.
Biggest tip though is use the gym! Most schools automatically charge you for a membership in your school fees so use it!! I didn't take advantage of it the first year and wish I would have. It majorly relieves stress, clears your head, and if you've had one of those greasy fast meals that leave you bloated force yourself to go and you'll feel great again in no time. Just keep forcing yourself, makes all the difference! Meet some good people too0 -
I'm a college junior trying to get my high school body back! I just joined this site, so I haven't lost anything yet, but I'm hoping this will motivate me. I don't have too much to lose, but sometimes that can be more of a deterrent than a motivation. I need accountability!
So feel free to add me as a friend.
Bikini season is oh so close!0 -
I'm a college freshman, and I gained my freshman 15 in ONE SEMESTER! I live in the dorms, and the food is awful, making it so difficult to eat healthy on a reasonable budget. I can't wait until I get a kitchen next year, but that's not until after the summer! I really want to feel good in my summer shorts, so I'm trying to get my high school body back!0

I would love to talk with some other college ladies. I'm having a particularly hard time because I'm a student at the Culinary Insitute of America and food is a way of life there. I'm 22 (23 in September) and would love a community of support. Message me or add me.0

Sophomore college student!
I love offering advice and motivation as well as receiving it!
It's tough to stay in shape in college - especially with late night ben&jerry runs and eating out with friends sometimes!0 -

I'm also a college student (almost done with my 2nd year)! I gained about 20 pounds when I stopped playing sports early in high school and I've decided to finally (try to) stick to healthy life and get fit again0
