New college girl introducing herself

  • Hey guys! I just thought I would make a quick post to say hello and a little something about myself.

    I'm actually not new to 3fc, I've posted on the forums off and on for a few years, but I've once again had a lapse in posting and am just returning to it because it's always been helpful in the past! I'm 20, a junior in college, and have yo-yo dieted for EVER (as you can see from my sig, my high weight a few years back was 180, and I've just gotten back on WW and lost a few pounds to put me around 145). My lowest weight was around 120, but it was really not a healthy goal for me (I was sick all the time, had no energy, and just looked a bit too skinny). This time around, my goal is 125-130, and I'm really excited to get back in shape!! I used to be a dancer and recently my physical fitness has gone down the tubes haha, but I'm willing to work hard to get my dancer body back

    So anyway, hi to everyone, I would love to hear from some of you 20-somethings.. what diets you're on, about your weight loss journey, whatever! I look forward to meeting everyone!!
  • Welcome! Your story sounds a lot like mine
  • Hi there and welcome back

    That's cool that you used to be a dancer. What kind of dance did you do? I would think it's an advantage to already have that athlete mentality going on. It's all about the first step!
  • Welcome back!!!
  • Welcome back...jump right in you know the drill and how great and supportive this place can be.

    I am a calorie counter myself. That works the best for me right now and my lifestyle.

    Have you picked a plan to follow?
  • Thanks for the welcomes!

    junebug: I was an Irish step dancer, and also did a little modern dance/ballet on the side. I look forward to getting back into dance!

    lovinlife: I'm on WW, that's the plan I have always followed in the past and have had great success.

    Looking forward to seeing more of ya'll on the forums!
  • Hey, welcome back!
    You seem basically like you were in the same boat as me which is pretty cool for me to see! I'm also 20 and also a Junior in college, (Except in Canada we call it "third year" and college and university are different here, so I'm in "Uni.") and my starting weight is only a tiny bit shy of where yours was, so. It's good to see you doing so well, it's inspiration.

    Keep checkin' in with us!
  • BACK! I'm not in college, but need to be.
    I am currently counting calories. I've been doing that for almost 2 weeks now and it seems to be working well for me. I also try to get some kind of exercise in everyday.

    That's so awesome - I used to be an Irish dancer too!! Everytime I hear Irish music I miss it.
