Thanks guys! Will take a look:)

Added you:)

Thank you all for the amazing tips. I will make sure I incorporate all of your tips in to my routine.

I think I'm having trouble maintaining a calorie deficit but also rather not eat fast food in general. I think I'm going to use up this weekend to cook up meals that I would actually eat. Thank you again.

Hey laurenagoode! I'm 23 in university and have started MFP officially today. And yes fancy meals are not an option with my schedule and budget so I have been trying different simple meals. Are you on MFP with the goal of losing weight or gaining/maintaining? I agree it does help to have friends on here, at this point I…

Hi Asha! Welcome to MFP. I'm new as well. Have started officially today. That's very good how you went from a 310 to 235! Well done! I totally understand how you don't have enough time for food prep. I chose 1 day and cooked everything I need for the week. Chopped up all my vegetables for my salad. Maybe you can choose one…

Wow! Wow!! That's awesome! Thanks for the amazing tips. The doc hasn't put me on metformin yet till I lose some weight myself. So hopefully calorie counting helps

Thank you , today is officially my first day and I don't feel too bad but he say has only started:p

Honestly thank your for sharing this with me! I love that you didn't restrict yourself too much right off the bat. I think it's going to be hard for me to go cold turkey so going to start gradually! Similarly to you I won't have a chance to eat lunch since I will be in class during those hours so I was thinking of starting…

Thanks for the tips. Getting started with all this support is definitely going to make this a bit easier. And that's still 60lbs lost which is something to be proud of! Do you mind me asking how you got started? What did you do meal wise and exercise wise during your first few weeks? Going to take a look at that link also:)

Hey VykkDraygoVPR, I'm actually in a dorm with a kitchen so I'm making most of my own meals. I haven't gotten a scale yet but i'm using measuring cups for basic measurements. I should look in to investing in one! Wow 100lbs is no simple feat! Such an inspiration!!

Thanks Amy!

Thanks VykkDraygoV, and serenityfrye! I was thinking of running around campus for 20 minutes to start off with and coming back in to my room to do jumping jacks, and sit ups. I do have dumbbells, and will definetly incorporate lifts in to my routine. Thanks so much for the input. I'm actually going to start my weightless…

Hey Radhika! Wow 80 pounds is great!! How long did you take to lose all that weight if you don't mind me asking? I'm new to this, and would love some tips! Although I'm not always a vegetarian, I usually eat vegetarian food 4 days out of the week, and would love to know if you have some recipes that you can share of what…

Feel free to add me, we can motivate each other!

I think we are on the same exact boat. I'm 23 going through a whole lot of things emotionally that have been taking a toll on me mentally and physically! Good luck on your weightloss journey. Lol always a good step to start off by weighing yourself. I was forced to find out my weight when I went to the doctor's earlier…

Thank You!

Thanks lapierrecyclist, and yes i think I have started realizing I need to lose weight in order to improve my overall well being.

Hey I've added you. I'm 23 5'4, 227lbs, and looking to lose atleast 60lbs.
