College student ready for a change, need buddy!

  • ..
  • Wow, after I read your post- I had to double check to make sure it wasn't me. The only part that really wasn't- I am not a vegitarian.

    I would love to be your buddy if you would like- I also need that motivation and common interest with someone that has a lot in common with me( hopefully on a close to daily basis.) I am 20 years old and am also a Sophomore in college. I started out with about 55 pounds to lose and I am down to about 40 left. (I may end up changing it a little bit to lose an extra 10 pounds or so.) I have also been overweight practically my whole life - mainly because I eat when I am not hungry out of boredom or habit, I also love carbs a little too much, I could easily live off of them.

    I started LA Weight Loss almost 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to set mini goals each week for exercise- this week, my goal is to get 190 minutes in throughout the week.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • HELLO! Wow, after reading both your messages, all I could think of is how perfectly everything you two said fits my description. I'm a sophmore in college, I too have been overweight practically my entire life, I usually eat when I'm bored or to control my emotions, and I have about 60-65 pounds to lose. I'm also a vegetarian (it'll be 2 yrs. this Thanksgiving). I'm new to 3FC and I'm also looking for a buddy (that is if you two could use another ).
    I'm still looking for a diet plan that will work with my lifestyle. As of right now, I'm thinking of just watching my caloric intake and eating healthy. As for the exercising, I have a few workout dvds that I plan on using at least 4 days a week, I walk to get everywhere on campus, and I've joined an intramurel volleyball team. I've been playing volleyball since high school; I was in somewhat better shape then, but never in peak condition. Hopefully, with all these changes and some support , I will finally be able to be the volleyball athlete I've always been on the inside.
