Looks about right to me. We are about the same height but I have way more weight to lose so I am going for more each week. Definitely eat back those exercise calories and remember its not a sprint. Weight won't come off super quick. I understand the struggle finding time to workout. I am a full time college student as well…

Ugg! This week has not been a good one for me relationship/emotional wise and I gave in a few times and ate. I feel like Im fighting with everyone and Im PMSing which is making me crabby. Sometimes I feel like I can't be around my friends because they are eating drive-thru food and ordering pizza at 10pm. I feel so alone…

Down another 2lbs since my last weight in! Yay. even with myt couple crappy days I still lost some weight. Not much to report about this weekend. Made it to the gym Friday and Saturday, and I plan on getting a workout in either before or after my small group for church. Over all it was a good weekend food and exercise…

Dropping in quick to say I clocked 45 minutes at the gym. Cut my mile down by 1ish minutes. I did consume some alcoholic beverages (only one!) and more pizza than I planned BUT burned some calories dancing! Twas a goodnight! Hope everyone has a skinny weekend! - Amanda

Dropping in quick to say I packed cloths to hit the gym after work. If I don't go you all can kick my butt. I seriously need to get back into the habit of working out. I'll let you all know how it goes later tonight, but I keep telling myself if I want that Margarita Pizza and Frozen Margarita tonight (Its national…

I have a raging migraine that is making me nauseous so this will be quick tonight. I've been awol this past week or so. Lets just say I had a horrible weekend. Skipped the gym for almost 4 days straight and ate like crap. Way over my calories all weekend and Monday and yesterday. I actually had a pretty good day yesterday…

Thats cool. Im looking for any way that I can motivate myself to get to the gym. Sounds interesting I should look into it. :) I wonder how other people make time to get to the gym and motivate themselves to go. Please share your experiences. :)

Thanks for the motivation guys. Im not giving up this time. Every time I try to get in shape and be healthy I give up after a month or so. I am making it all the way this time. Today was good. I stuck with what I planned to eat although I feel like I am way under my calories I don't feel hungry so I guess there is no harm…

I've got a pretty bad case of the Monday's. Don't wanna get outta bed, don't wanna eat anything healthy. I felt so good the first 3 weeks and now I feel like all the motivation has drained outta me. Hope everyone has a great week. I'll check back in later. ---Amanda

Scale down 6.6lbs this morning. Im so happy about that. I was seriously struggling to stay on board this weekend and that definitely gave me the encouragement I needed. Back at it today w/ a workout and all that good stuff. My goals for the rest of this month would include losing 4 more lbs (total of 10) and working out…

Happy weekend ya'll. Just sitting here watching tv/movies with my roommate. Didn't work out yesterday after work. First time in 3 weeks I skipped a scheduled workout. Im gonna have to figure out how to motivate myself to workout on Friday's. Today was my scheduled rest day so I didn't work out today either. Trying to stay…

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been MIA for the past week or so. Here's my update: I've been doing good with eating right (even on the weekends). I've packed lunch and ate dinner at home (or had something semi-healthy when my friend meals me in at the campus dinning hall) every day for the past two weeks. I've only eaten out…

We can be strong and get through this together guys! And we can eat some of the bad stuff just in MODERATION! Im determined not to let this get me down.

Nice to see all the new faces. Hope everyone is having a great semester. Keep up the hard work on being healthy everyone!

I totally know what you're talking about. I HATE (not really) all my skinny friends who can just eat whatever they want and not worry about their weight. Is so hard to be around them at meal times (either eating in the dorm caf or going out) because they never have to worry about what they are choosing and Im stuck eating…

I have been grumpy and irritable the past few days. Im annoyed, Im exhausted. My head has been hurting and I didn't sleep well last night. TOM is right around the corner and Im already feeling the cravings. This will be the first with TOM since I've started my new, healthier life. I don't want to cave but Im dying to eat…

Just a quick questions. Im wondering about how people say eating after x time effects weight loss? Is there any truth to this? Because I just finished dinner. I have a lot of calories left over but I don't think I'll be hungry again until late. Which is worse: eating late at night or not eating my calories?

This weekend was a rough one. It was full of birthday celebrations and all my friends returning to campus. My roommate celebrated a birthday and we now have 1/2 of three different cakes sitting in our fridge. Ugg. I turned down any and all sweets this weekend and worked out Friday and Sunday. Saturday is my only rest day…

Hi everyone! Its so great to meet you all. Hoping to get this semester kicked off in a healthy way. I haven't start classes yet but I will this coming Monday. I am also working 20 hours a week and I am majorly involved in some campus ministries at my college. Have most of you guys already started classes? Have a great…

Started my day off bright and early and with a healthy breakfast. No workout though. I think I decided I like starting my mornings off with a workout because now its mid-day and Im trying to talk myself into a run out in the cold. I did get some cleaning done around the house and I need to do some errands. I've been in a…

MrsG2-- Thanks for the encouragement. Im hoping to bring it up with my roommate and one or two close friends. My roommate might want to eat health with me which would also help because we split some groceries so if she was eating the fruits and veggies that would give me some support and encouragement and save me some…

Penny- The snow and icky weather is really getting to me too. Its been in the single digets here for almost 2 weeks. Bitter cold, snow, ice makes for boring workouts. I hate hate hate running on a treadmill or track but its been to disgusting outside for running. Today I did day 4 of lvl 1 30DS. Im feeling it. Oh man do I…

Becky- A fellow Social Worker! Im so worried that I'll get out of school and start working with others and I'll let my life and weight get even more out of shape. You are an inspiration to me already because I see that you have been able to take control of your life and lose triple digets and working hard to get back…

Hi everyone. My name is Amanda and I could really use the support from people on MFP. I am 20 years old and have struggled with my weight as long as I can remember. No one ever seemed concerned about teaching me to eat health or get out from in front of the TV and be active. Now I am at an all time high of 220 pounds and…

Completed day two today. It is kicking my butt. Oh man I don' think it will ever get easier. I had waned to do some jogging on top of 30day shred but I just don't think I can handle anything else. Im dying after 20 minutes.

Hey everyone. My name is Amanda. Im looking for some support from people around my age who are dealing with trying to lose weight while in college. I've been doing MFP on and off for a year or so now but this time I am SERIOUS. I want to be happy and healthy when I graduate. I am a Junior at Lock Haven University in…

Wow you look AMAZING!

^^ This!! I will probably cry at one point. haha

And I just realized this doesn't start until Aug 4th. Oh well I started a few days early!!

I started this a few weeks ago and did the first 3 weeks. I never tried week 4 and its been 2 weeks since I've run. I think I will try again and see where I need to go back to. Hopefully not week 1! Determined to finish this time!!!
