My name is Kelly. I came across these message boards when searching for some ideas on how to lose a bit of weight.
I know around here anyways, people tell me that I'm crazy I don't need to lose weight. I weigh 151 pounds and I am 5 ft 7. I know I'm not over weight, but I don't feel comfortable in my own body, and that's what really counts. I'm in my second year of college, and let's just say that at the beginning of school last year, I was a victim of the horrible first 15. I was 135 at the beginning of school last year, ate at the cafeteria almost every day and I've got an extra 15-16 pounds because of it that I just can't seem to shed.
I know its not the kind of loss that some people are looking for, but it's what I feel I need to do, and I thought maybe I could join this message board in hopes of some help. I've been dieting and exericising for 3 months, mind you with school, its been on and off dieting and exercise, but more on than off. I can't seem to lose anything. Or I lose 3 pounds, stay still for a week and gain it back. So I am hoping for some support and some good ideas.

Now that I've told you my life story, I hope for some good inspiring words from people and to make some friends here as well.

Hi Kelly!

It sounds like we're quite similar here. I am also a second year college student; put on some weight eating hall food in first year (I swear they put cheese in everything!); not really overweight but wanting to lose to feel happier about myself.

I can't be much help since I've been yo-yo-ing around too but recently I've found really sticking at the exercise helps. I know it takes up a lot of time but for me at least it also makes me concentrate better so I work more efficiently.

Good luck, we can do it!
 
thanks a lot. it really helps knowing that theres other people going through what i am. and its great to know that im not the only victim of college food.
Im gonna try my hardest. I just wanna feel happy with myself again
