Hey guys, just sayin' hi. :) I'm a medical student just going in to clinicals, and I must say that there is almost nothing worse for your health than going to medical school. I have gone up and down about 30 pounds in the past 2 years in cycles of 6 months, just based on how much I need to study and how much time I have to exercise, and the my need to snack in order to stay awake during studying. :eek: I've decided to change all that, and here's my plan:

- Workout with an aerobics video 20-30 minutes a day (I'm using Beachbody's Slim in 6 right now)
- Take the dog for a walk or walk the 2 miles into town instead of driving for a few groceries
- Train myself to drink water instead of snack while studying

Once I get to my target (which the only other time I've gotten to is via anorexia), I want to try to stay there not by dieting, but by eating smart and trying to stay at 30 mins per day of exercise.

So far, I've been at the plan for one week, and as ambitious as it sounds, I think I can keep up, as long as the weather cooperates. :)

:waves: just sayin' howdy. :)
 
:) Hi! Welcome to the forum. I too am a newbie. Today is my 2nd Full day at this. I hope you find the support and help you are looking for. I am always good at lending an ear if you ever need to just talk. I seem to be very good at that :) Well I will see ya around and good luck!:)
 
I can't imagine being a med student and trying to keep up with my own health. Kudos to you for trying! Best of luck to you and look forward to hearing from you.
 
Marshacup - it sounds like you've set a good plan in action! Good for you for being the one in control :D
