    Hey All!

    I'm a bit over a month till move in day for my first year of college. I'm planning on a double major (Theatre and either History or English) with a minor (Legal Studies). So I'll be pretty busy! Of course not too busy to get in my exercise! I'm hoping to be on the Ballroom Dance team as well as the Equestrian team. So that should keep me pretty active! If not, I'd love to give intermural soccer a try.

    What a great group!

    I'm about to start my senior year and I'd like to make it one where I'm not ashamed to wear leggings! Also want to be healthy and fit before I start applying to med schools. Good first impressions and all that! Gained a bunch over the winter and spring and I'm ready to lose it for the fall. Already down from 160, so it's a good start!

    Height: 5' 7.5"
    CW: 153
    GW by Fall: 145 or less
    Ultimately: ~130

    Doing p90x lean, taking a summer class, volunteering at the SPCA (lots of crazy dogs to walk! great exercise and everyone's happy), volunteering at the hospital (lots more walking). I hope to get fit enough to start Insanity up again, I lost a ton of weight doing that and got super fit before.

    I know all kinds of diet tricks because I was seeing a nutritionist last year and she helped me learn heaps about proper dieting for good healthy weight-loss, so if anyone wants any advice or has any questions I don't mind sharing a few ideas. I know I'm not an expert, but I don't mind giving a helping tip here and there :)

    This website says that I can lose 5 pounds between now and Aug. 21st. Classes (here) begin on the 20th. So a 5 pound goal is what I'm shooting for. If I manage to lose more than that then that's fantastic, but I'm not going to push myself to the point that I burn myself out.

    This is my final semester as an undergrad, so I'm hoping that I'll be much closer to my goal of around 215 lbs by the end of the semester. That's a great way to celebrate graduation.

    This is such a great group! I am new to this and I hope to lose 10-15 lbs. before the fall semester starts. I will be starting my junior year in August hopefully by the time I move back I will have lost all the weight that i have gained during my first two years. I do agree that alcohol consumption has to be cut down A LOT in order to lose weight but I think that will be a challenge for me once I am surrounded by the school environment. I just started the Insanity program today and run every other day. I am also a vegetarian so my diet consists mostly of veggies, beans, and grains. If y'all know of any motivation tips please send them my way! and add me as a friend if you wish :)

    Hello everyone!

    Senior year of college starts for me mid-August, and I haven't seen any of my friends since June, so I want to make a real impression.

    Height: 5' 1/2" (when you're this short, that half inch makes all the difference! :laugh: )
    CW: 119
    GW: 110

    I plan on achieving this by eating ~1200 calories a day, running/walking at least 3 miles everyday, and doing about 3 hours of strength exercises every week. Plus I'm going to continue limiting the amount of fatty/sugary foods I eat!

    Good luck everyone! We can do this!

    I start in about 30 days. Gonna be a sophomore and AWAY from home! Need to focus!
    I need to lose at LEAST 5 pounds. I have been on a plateau for the LONGEST...

    After tomorrow I'm going to just do a lot of weight lifting because all I've been doing is running.
    Maybe buy Jamie Eason's book, hmmm

    My uni doesn't start back until the end of September, so I still have a month to go. I joined MFP at the start of August and I've lost about 6.5lb so far. Hoping to lose another 5lb this month.
