Hello everyone! Being a college student is hard, isn't it?

Hello everyone! My name is Pedro, and I'm 19-years-old. I'm a college student from Puerto Rico. However, I'm moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in August as I'm transferring to study over there! Very excited for that!

I'm a bit overweight. I'm 5'8 and currently weigh 222 pounds exactly. Here's a picture of me;



And here is a full body picture;



In 2009, I actually went through a great diet and exercise plan recommended by my nutritionist and lost 32 pounds exactly. However, I stopped when I took a break from college and now in a year and a half I gained 22 back! I'm just 10 pounds away to go to my original weight. And I don't want that.

I tried the original plan I used back in 2009. But there's a big problem. I don't go back to school until August (when I move to Philadelphia), and I pretty much spend most of my time in my home. And one of my bad habits is to constantly eat when I'm bored, or just doing stuff around the house. Not only that but my sleeping schedule is very messed up since I don't have any big responsibilities.

I joined this forum to meet others like me, and possibly try to find the motivation I'm looking for! I really want to lose at least 20 pounds before August comes. Although now Summer time comes, and it's a bit challenging since it's when I'll be going out the most. But I believe in myself!

Nice to meet everyone!
 
Hi pedro. Welcome to the forum.

You've got a sweet face.

I'm nothing like you so maybe i am not someone you want to hear from but too bad lol. Here i am.

Start a diary in the diary section and get back on the wagon. I commiserate with your problems. I know what those things are but i won't go on about it now. Maybe paste this first post of yours into your diary so its part of your story. I'll give you my two cents worth later on.

Meanwhile welcome. You've come to the right place, i think.
