Hi I'm in my Senior year at the University of Southern Mississippi. I am still far from my goal and slowly inching towards it. I was wondering if there were any college students on here that would like to start a weight loss group?

    Yes! I just started my sophomore year at Tulane and I'm in the same boat as you as far as reaching my goal--and pretty nervous about reaching it considering the constant food around here. Let's do this!

    I'd really like to join! I'm starting my last semester tomorrow at Idaho State University. It would be great if I reached my goal by the end of this semester.

    Can I join too? I'm entering my junior (? I think? third year, we don't use those terms up here lol) year at the University of Western Ontario. I don't have too much left to lose, but I could definitely use the support of a group for maintaining a healthy weight once I'm back to the temptations of school haha :flowerforyou:

    great!! The more the merrier!!! When do we want to do our weigh in days? I weigh myself everyday (I know that's bad but I can't help it) so it doesn't matter to me.

    So it's decided I guess. Our group name will be "Cramming Our Brains NOT Our Faces!" It's only Tues. so I guess we can go ahead and record our starting weight today.

    My name is Loren. I am a senior this year majoring in Accounting. I was recently married, Feb 7, and I've been struggling with weight loss like FOREVER! Football season is going to be hard because there's always lots of drinking and cooking out, but I'm going to try to continue my weight loss despite these bad days.

    Starting weight: 144
    Goal Weight: 135? 130? (I'm not sure!)

    Awesome name!

    I'm Elyse, and I'm a sophomore at Tulane in New Orleans, majoring in Political Science and International Development. I weighed in this morning (I weigh myself nearly every day, too) at 154 but would like to get down to somewhere around 125-135.

    Hey this is awesome! Love the name lol. I hope I'm not too late to join... I'll be a junior at UW-Madison this year, majoring in dietetics (so, yeah, it would be AWESOME to lose my last pounds so I LOOK like a dietitian lol). I'm 5'10", and right now I'm at 163 or so, and trying to get down to 150.

    I wanna join! There totally needs to be a group for college students. Love the name btw.

    Hi, I'm Margaret from New York. I'm a rising junior at NYU majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in Philosophy and East Asian Studies. :smile:
    SW: 125
    CW: 120
    GW: 110

    I probably won't be losing every week as I'm on a 1/2 per week plan and don't have a lot to lose. But I'll still do the weigh in every week.
    Going back to college is going to be so harddddd and a drastic change from my summer routine! :sad:

    I would love to join. I am starting my 5th and final year at Marygrove College in Michigan. I am earning my elementary teaching certification with a concentarion in Mathematics.

    I currently weigh 139.2 and would love to get to 115. I have struggled with my weight a majority of my life. A little over 4 years ago I weighed 110 lbs when I started dating my now fiance. We are getting married in less than 9 months and I would love to have my dress taken in quite a bit - when I bought it I weighed over 150 lbs.

    I love the name...weigh ins on Monday sounds good. I weigh myself everyday also hehe. I think it would be great if we post what exercises we have done, what we have eatten, and how much water we are drinking.

    :flowerforyou:

    So I did the 20 minute Turbo Jam workout and 30 minutes on the elliptical. I burned over 300 calories. I am going to shower, eat breakfast - 2 eggo waffles, and go to work.

    I'm Kaleigh, I'm 20 and entering my third year at UWO (in London, Ontario, Canada) majoring in an honours specialization in English. My starting weight was 120, I'm now down to 116.5 and would like to get down to 110 and STAY THERE (<--the hardest part hehe). Good luck to everyone! Looking forward to helping each other stay on track! :flowerforyou:
