Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here for the past couple of weeks and have noticed what a supportive community it is. I'm an undergrad at Cornell University, going into my junior year in about a month. I'm in the SF bay area for the summer (home/working) but most of the year I'm in Ithaca, NY at school. I resolved at the end of the spring semester, several times, that I would diet this summer and lose the weight I've gained since arriving at college (about 20 pounds). I haven't decided yet but I may keep going until I hit BMI 21. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive of everyone, including me (although you didn't know it until just now). Anyway, just wanted to say hello!

Glad you decided to join the "posters"! Welcome! Kudos for making plans to drop those 20 pounds! Hope you keep coming back...and posting!

welcome from a fellow dieter/college student (im going to be a junior at northwestern)!! good luck with everything!!

Welcome as well from a fellow dieter/ college student! Im a freshman at West Chester University. And im trying to prevent those college party pounds =P Best Wishes!!

I'm not in college, but I work in the college food service industry. If any of you out there have any constructive criticism about what your college/university could do differently to help you make healthier decisions when you eat on campus, please speak up - I'd love to take your ideas back to my company.
