Be careful! Don't overwork your body. But if you feel ok to do it go ahead.

Sophialittle ... that isn't weird that's what I'm doing ... haha! Well actually ... I haven't decided on that or a tattoo on my lower right hand hip but ... one or the other. I'm actually really excited about it... why I'm rewarding myself with pain I do not know.

College makes it so hard to do that right? Or is that just me? lol. Welcome!!

Heck Yes Giants!!!!! I LOVE THEM RIGHT NOW!! Not a fan of them ... but I hate the patriots so ... I"M SO HAPPY! And I didn't eat anything while watching! Even better!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm at college, too and unfortunately it is causing me to slip up alot. For me, I just have to watch where I eat. I don't know how big your college is but we have a lot of different cafeterias ... some with sandwich bars... which I love ... wheat wraps with turkey and no cheese or dressing ...…

Lunges are really good. Filled water bottles and cans of soda or soup work for weights if you have them.

If you can do reverse crunches then I doubt this will help but it's what I do so I thought I'd share. I lay on my back with my legs straight up in the air, crossed at the ankle, arms at the sides with palms flat on the ground. Then I squeeze my ab muscles so that my butt comes off the floor, hold, then lower. Works for me.

O ... and to fit into my favorite pair of jeans ... which I grew out of from the freshman 15.

1. Confidence 2. Health 3. Swimsuit season-- I haven't been comfortable in a swimsuit since I was about 14... I want to go to the beach this summer and look good.

Trust me, I think the same thing as you half of the time. It is so hard for me to keep up with exercise, so hard, in fact, I am very guilty of the start/stop routine. I'll work out for all of three days then stop. It's really bad. The only advice I can give is maybe find ways that aren't so "painful." Maybe even invite…

My cousin did this and she looks absolutely amazing. She did some school sports as well but she'll swear by walking the dog.

I danced at home. I still haven't found a place here in college. As for it being a workout it depends on the type of dance and the teacher. My first school wasn't much of a workout at all. It was easy and really relaxed. My second school I took a hip hop and jazz class and it was more intense. We did ab work and push ups…

Thanks for posting this. I always wondered why people say drink more water and now that I know it should be easier to do!

Congratulations!

I have the same problem still and what I'm doing is for now, letting myself have 2-3 meals a week of those things I crave (hopefully in smaller portions though). And I'm cutting that back as I go. I don't know if I'll ever get to the no rubbish meals but doing 2-3 and then eventually only 1 is a lot better than the way I…

This happens to me all the time and this might sound really weird but I grab ice since it's water but I'm still chewing it keeps my mouth busy.

That's Awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks guys. I love this site already. lol. It's always good to know there are people in this with me. And kjllose that's a great idea. It actually doesn't take long at all because my mom sends it up on the shuttle that runs between her work and my school 4x a day. Thanks everyone!

Daughtry. I love them. And for cooldowns I listen to secondhand serenade. He is amazing and really calm me down and let me think. I really need to get some more tunes though.

Ok so as you all know I started this officially today. I've been trying to eat healthier and go out partying less (being at PSU it is incredibly hard to do) for awhile now but today I was officially to start actually counting calories. It started out good ... I woke up and did some crunches and leg lifts and things like…

Welcome! I just started yesterday and I'm in the same boat as you. All of my friends think I look fine but I think I need to be more healthy in general. Good luck to you!

Congratulations!

Thank you guys so much. It was all very helpful. Today is my first day so we will see how this goes.

Hi everyone. My name is Nicole and I'm from Hershey, PA. I am trying to lose the pounds I have gained since starting college and a few more but the main goal right now is not to gain anymore-- something extremely hard for me with cafeteria food and my schedule. I could use some help right off though. I'm a little confused…
