New 20-something Graduate Student from Mississippi here!

  • Hey all! My name is Amanda and I just signed up today! I am a 20-something Graduate Student working on my PhD in School Psychology and living in rural Mississippi. The past year has been a yo-yo of about 20 pounds off and on and I'm ready to ditch the weight for good! I have about 100 pounds that I eventually want to lose, so I'll be around for a good long while! I can't wait to get to know ya'll!
  • Welcome! I'm living in Mississippi for school right now too!! This is such a great place to come for support-hope you love it here!!
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!
  • Hi there! I'm a 20-something graduate school working towards my MA in American Lit in Illinois - but I was born and spent most of my childhood in Biloxi, MS! Welcome! I find this great place for support during this difficult journey!
  • Hello!!! :-)
  • Hello! Welcome! Congrats on going for your PhD! I just graduated with my Masters, and I so admire you for going all the way! I'm new here too, and I hope to loose about 60lbs, welcome!

  • Thanks guys! I went to the gym yesterday and ran for the first time in probably six years. Granted, it wasn't a lot, and it wasn't fast, but I'm using the C25K program and I ran for 6 of the 8 intervals I was supposed to run. It felt so good to just try and succeed!
