    Hey everyone! My name is Bre'Ana, I'm a rising sophomore at GA Tech. During my senior year of high school, I went from around 220 pounds down to 160 pounds before I left for school. I ended up gaining alot of it back at school during the year and now I'm at 175. I'm hoping to lose about 25 pounds over the summer and go back to school in tip top shape!! My motivation is to be able to fit into my prom dress again!

    Hi my name is Sarah :) I'v been on MFP for about a year now. I just completed my freshman year at Shippensburg University and gained about 20 pounds while there :( But I'm getting back in shape and want to maintain it when I go back to school! That will be the biggest challenge I think. Add me or message me I love chatting and supporting others :) We can do this!!!

    My name is Brittany and I'm in my 6th year of college at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. I've earned a math degree, will soon complete an accounting degree, and then I will continue on to grad school. I miss my swimming days in high school, when I knew I could walk into any store and find clothes that fit great on me. Now I avoid dressing rooms and mirrors.

    I work at a Fortune 500 company that has a fitness center in the building with great group exercise classes - I'm currently sore from two that I took earlier this week. :) My best friend, who should be joining MFP soon, is going to join me in committing to do Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 DVD.

  • Hey girls!

    My name is Ashley. I'm a 22 year old college student in Texas; just graduated last year with my Bachelors in Psychology and am now working toward a Masters. My goal is pretty simple, I love my body, but I'd love it more if I were tighter in areas. My twin sister has been really working hard at toning up and I can tell a big difference. I joined this group to get even more motivation to succeed. All of you girls look great :) Congrats on the weight y'all have already lost! Let's do this together!

    I'm going to be a sophomore in college in New York. I'm working on being a biology/accounting major going into pre-med.
    I'm 5'4" and 18. I'm trying to get my athletic body back without killing my knees like I did while running in high school. I'm trying to lose around 10 lbs that I gained in my freshman year on mozzarella sticks and pizza.
    Feel free to add me!

    Hi my name is Allison and I am going to be a Senior in College next year. In High School I was involved in a lot of athletics including Soccer and Tae Kwon Do. After coming to college I lost a lot of the muscle tone that I had in High School and I want to get it back! Ideally I would like to lose 10 lbs, but I am more interested in getting my muscle tone back to where it used to be. By the end of the summer I hope to be in shape enough to run a Half-Marathon.

My current weight is 70 kg so I really want to lose 10kg's and then I will be able to focus on toning up!

    About a year ago I had gotten down to 224 and I felt AMAZING. And I looked a lot better. So that's the goal right now.
    I would love to have more friends and maybe a fitness pal around my age/weight. So please feel free to message me or whatever :)
  • Hi! I'm 18 years old and going to start my freshman year in august. I'm going to do my major in Biology in the University of Puerto Rico.
    I really want to loose at least 10 pounds before i start in august, right now i am 129 pounds and want to be in 117.

    I've been doing the 30 day shred but i lost 5 pounds and got stuck there, so now i'm tracking my calories and combining it with the Daily dozen. I hope that all of you achieve the body that you want. :)

    Hi! I'm Ellen. I'm 19 and going into my second year, although classified as a junior, in the fall at the University of South Florida Tampa campus.
    At the beginning of my first year, I was working out 2 hours a day and eating very little. I lost 10 pounds but was pretty unhealthy. I gained all the weight back plus 5 pounds. I definitely got the Freshman 15! I want to lose those 15 pounds again but this time I want to lose them in a healthy way. My boyfriend of 2+ years who I live with during the summers (long distance relationship NJ to FL during the school year) is also trying to lose weight so he helps to motivate me.

    Hi! I'm a 21 Y.O. college Senior ( I go to a great University in California). I'm 5"7 and have been as heavy as 205lbs but during my college years I (thankfully) maintained around 185-180. Currently I'm in the 170's, which is the lowest I've ever been. My goal is to get into the 160's (I'll even take 169!) by August and be a solid 150 by October. I love MFP but I have virtually no support group on here, so I'd like to add friends to keep my motivation high when I feel it steeping a little low! :)

    Hi everyone :) my name is Joy, I'm only a freshman this year. It's SO encouraging to see so many people with realistic weight loss goals! I've been the girl who was 30lbs over weight to the girl who was 20lbs under weight, so I'm trying to find a happy middle.
  • Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm in my final year at The University of Liverpool, studying biological science.

    I'm not really aiming to lose weight, I'm more aiming to tone up and lose inches. Currently measuring 36,27,35, I'd like to knock a good few inches off my waist, and maybe one or two off my hips and chest as well.

    I promise that I'm very friendly, so please come and say hi!

  • Hey guys!

    My name is Shannon and I've spent a lot of my life going on "diets" that always end, work out binges that I quit, and generally a lot of half-assed trying. I've decided that since I'm gonna be a freshman next year, it's time to get into some good habits to carry with me to my dorm!

    I'm extremely supportive of everyone but seem to always fizzle out when supporting myself. With that said, I'd love to have some friends on here to cheer on and to cheer me on. With a team effort, you can't go wrong!

    I'm also a vegetarian so if anyone else here is, we can work through the tendency towards carbs together!

    Have fun everyone and happy "losing" !

    -Shannon

    Ps. I'd like to lose 30 lbs so I'm this for a while!

    Hi everyone! My name is Ema and I'm about to start school in the fall in California. I've always been a heavier girl, but I've been looking for some sort of support system on MFP and I'm glad I found this group! I'm hoping to lose 40 pounds, hopefully by the end of the year, but I know it's a work in progress. I'm definitely the kind of person that needs motivation and accountability partners! I hope we all reach our goal weights, ladies!

  • Hey ladies!

    My name's Paige and I'm 18 and about to start (moving in 8/17!) Georgia Southern University as a freshman majoring in Pre Nursing with a minor in Spanish. I'm not ashamed of the body I have now, but I know I'm not treating it like I should by having sooo much extra weight on it. I want to be healthier. And I want to prove to everyone that ever doubted me that I CAN do it, even in the hustle and bustle of freshman/college life.

    I'd rather not include my SW/CW because while I'm proud of my body, I'm not exactly proud of the numbers.

    Suffice it to say, I have to lose a healthily sized girl of my age. (According to BMI calculators, I really need to lose about 170ish /:)
    I don't expect it to happen over night and I look forward to working my tail off to get it. Everything that has to be worked for is even sweeter in the end.

    (:

  • Hii ladies, Im Aliesha and I'm 22 and a junior at Brooklyn College. I'm a Psych major and was always kind of chubby and then bam puberty hit, I joined tennis and I was a healthy 134 standing at 4'11.

    Now nine years later I'm only 5'0, and gained everything back when I got into a relationship and then gained more when I ended said relationship. It's going to be a process but one I am so ready for! My goal is to get back to between 134 and 145. At that point it's about what I feel really good with.
