College! My dining halls are all-you-could-eat buffets. I went from 165-200 in a semester before I realized what I was doing to myself. The next semester I gained another 25 cause I didn't know how to control it. Last year I bought a scale and eventually motivated myself to start losing. I want to lose another 60 lbs so I…

Hey, I'm a 3rd year accounting student! Between a job, school organizations, and my classes, it's just one more thing to focus on! Feel free to add me for support, I'm over 110 days logged in in a row :D

Hey everyone! I'm a college kid too in my 3rd year of a five-year program! Feel free to add me, I've logged over 105 days in a row and not planning to stop anytime soon!!!

SO many great benefits! I can tell you that when I drink more water, I generally tend to eat better and keep my calories down, whereas when I don't drink a lot of water I tend to mistake dehydration for hunger. Thanks for the post!

I did the C25k program in the spring and got up to week 7 - had to put it on pause due to injuries and am now back on week 4! The more I accomplished, the more I enjoyed it. In high school (entering 3rd year of college now) I could never run even a lap of that dreaded mile, and when I ran an entire 2 mile run (took me…

Going into my third year, been on MFP consistently since April! Feel free to add me!

Just turned 20, add me!!

We're in a similar boat, I'll add you! Gained about 40lbs my freshman year. My family is very supportive but my friends, while they verbally support me, do not actively show it and constantly shove food in my face.

Change up your routine! Do a different exercise, eat a completely different meal. Sometimes that shocks your body into losing again! Good luck :) I've been on MFP for about 3.5 months now and lost 11 lbs. It's been slow, but I'd rather it come off at a slow and steady rate and I'm able to maintain it than have it fly off…

bump!

Pistachios and cashews - can't decide which I like more :)

We were 16 and a mutual friend threw a birthday party and invited us both. I flirted with him all night. It took some time, but the day before Valentine's he asked me on a date. Nearly 3.5 years later, doing the LDR thing in college and somehow making it work. No regrets - I still enjoy college and don't feel that I'm…

I'm 5'8" and have a curvy frame. Ideally I'd love to be in the single digits/size 8 and wearing M/L shirts depending on store (my size after I stopped growing taller - I had C cups even back then, so I doubt I can get any smaller shirt-wise). I think I was around 160, and my GW is 150, so if I'm lucky I might be a 6. For…

I upped my protein recently because I thought MFP wasn't giving me enough (lowered carbs to compensate). It's definitely okay to go over.

My boyfriend and I went for a date night and ate about as much for dinner as we should have in the whole day. Onion ring appetizer, bacon cheeseburger and fries for dinner, churros dipped in chocolate for dessert. After that weekend I weighed 228 (height 5'8"). Oy. Also, my friends kept telling stories about how they were…

I really like putting my peas in applesauce. Something I've done since elementary school.

In My Life - the Beatles. So simple, yet so perfect.

I'm currently a college kid in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Breakfast: Greek yogurt with granola and coffee with skim milk and splenda (I've been meaning to try Truvia...). Lunch: Option 1: Turkey sandwich with cheese, light mayo and cucumber. Grapes/apple/other fruit on the side.…

5'8" SW: 227 CW: 219 (Coming off slowly but surely after 2 months...) GW: 150 I'll add you since we are about 5-10lbs off!

I've been to very few BAD concerts, but I have to say I would pay a LOT of money to see Muse or Fleetwood Mac again!!! Muse sounds better live than on their albums - certainly an accomplishment! With Fleetwood Mac it's more about the emotion that you can see/hear as they perform their old songs, it's very moving. And…

Same boat! I'm not a big drinker but my friends LOVE to bake, go out to unhealthy restaurants (a lot of which are one-location places that don't post cal counts online), and generally take time out of their day to ensure they eat a ton of junk food. Lucky for them, they are all "healthy weight" and don't work out and have…

Thank you!

Bump - I really need some advice!

I suppose technically my first concert was 1964: A Tribute which was a Beatles tribute band - more of a Beatles show than a legitimate concert, so it depends on your definition of concert I suppose. I was 6 years old, this was in 1998. If you don't count the many tribute bands I've seen, I had floor seats to Paul McCartney…

ANY 80s teen movie. Especially John Hughes-Breakfast Club, 16 candles, Pretty in Pink. And Robert Zemeckis has some of my favorites as well, like Romancing the Stone, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and my all-time favorite movie Back to the Future.

I'm finishing up my sophomore year, add me :)

Congrats! You're doing great, keep up the good work! :happy:

I'll be 20 next month! Add me, I love to motivate people and recieve it in return!

You are so inspirational to me - our start and goal weights are about the same, and it's amazing to see someone comparable to me has done it and looks so incredible! Congratulations!
