<p>I gained only 5lbs my freshman year… and then 5 my sophmore year… and then my junior year I realized “Hey… I’ve gained 10 lbs” and decided to cut back on my candy intake… now it’s my senior year & I’ve maintained my overall 10 lb gain.
If the DC food tasted better or I wasn’t such a picky eater, I’m sure I would have put on more weight with that all-you-can-eat dining style</p>
<p>Actually haven’t gained any weight yet. I don’t think I will either. My summer job we joked how there might be the “Freshman 15” but we had the “Camp 22” but thankfully I didn’t get that either.</p>
<p>why are people at stanford so buff ? don’t they hagve to study all the time?</p>
<p>if you find yourself gainign weight in college, pop them laxatives</p>
<p>haven’t gained any weight either…probably from all the walking…and a REALLY fast metabolism…but I actually would like to gain weight, any suggestions?</p>
<p>This is crazy, how has no one on this board gained any freshman weight–a lot of my friends here are starting to feel the pinch in the waistband. While my jeans aren’t bursting at the seems just yet, I think I’m gaining. It may depend on the school, but I think it’s a pretty common thing (or at least that’s what I tell myself). It does depend on the quality of the school’s food–the cafeteria stinks, but the off-campus food in NYC is unbeatable.</p>
<p>I ate a lot of food in the dining halls as a fresham and sophomore but only gained 5 lbs over that two year time period. When I transferred to another school I put on a ton of weight. Between May 2003 and September 2004 I went from 193 to 235 lbs (I’m a 6’ tall). I am down to 215 now. If I started excercising again and got back into good shape I would be at 200 lbs. I am very out-of-shape when it comes to exercising since I haven’t done any cardio-intense workouts in a long time but my athletic build makes people think I am in good shape.</p>
<p>I have suffered Freshman 15…but the other way around. I’ve LOST 15 pounds…how does that happen?</p>
<p>The beer is what does it to most people but it really varies. There were people I knew last year who gained 20 or more pounds, while one of my friends at another school lost 20.</p>
<p>i think people gain weight mostly cuz of late night pizzas, etc.</p>
<p>a combo of pizza and beer late at night…but that is what makes college life fun! some guys worked it off by playing football in the snow at 2 am…</p>
