Hi I'm a college student and have gained the freshman 25. I am tired of being too embarassed to go out on the weekends and am looking for people who understand the frustration and want to really make life changes. I know it is the long route, but I committed to really changing these bad habits and getting healthy and fit. Anyone nervous to start out on a similar path, I would love to give and recieve as much support as possible on this terrifying and seemilngly impossible new endeavor.

Laureen God bless you my dear, your braver than I I am 48 I am 7 classes from my AA Degree in Paralegal I quit college one cause Mom home home an I have to care or her now and two because I got so heavey I was embarrassed to go to school!* I was over 22 pounds now I am 191, hang* in there you can do it!

I know just how you feel. I used to be thiner in highschool and then i had a baby and gained a lot of weight. I go to college too and am embarrased to see anyone i used to know. I have started to loose* some weight, but it has been hard. I know just what you*are going through, but don't worry you can do it.**

Hi Lauren, No worries, I too have gained the "freshmen" 30. I turned into a hermit. Its bad news since everyone seems to wanna go and party (drink, eat out etc). Sometimes i indulge and go out but if we want to make it to our goals we're gonna have to scarifice just bit!

Thanks so much! It really brightened up my morning to see some real support and know I'm not the only one going through this.

Hi! I'm in the same situation as you are: I also gained a lot of weight in college and I'm trying to lose it before I graduate. This year was my 5th year high school reunion and I didn't go because I was to ashamed of myself. So, I'm really motivated to change my lifestyle and to live healthier and better!! Glad to have you aboard!!
