Just wanted to say hello to everyone! I'm a 27-year-old graduate student looking to shed the 30 lbs. I've put on since starting school. I'll be graduating with a Ph.D. in Sociology next May, and I'd like to feel fit and confident before hitting the job market.

This seems like a great community - I look forward to making friends here!

Cheers,
Jaclyn

Hello and Welcome! Iv'e just joined too and have found that everyone so far has been genuinely helpful and kind.

Welcome! You may want to try the Featherweight section, as you don't have a lot to lose... it's a very friendly group!

What's does your dissertation cover?

My research is on young women's experiences with the sexual side effects of antidepressant medications - how such experiences affect their sense of self, their intimate relationships, their feelings about taking medication, etc.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll check out the featherweight group!

Welcome!

I gained a lot of weight in grad school... well, actually, I gained even MORE as an undergrad! You're smart to want to get a handle on it now!
