<p>I’m not obese, but I could definitely lose some weight in my opinion. My challenge is not to gain the freshmen fifteens. I’m trying to lose around 15 lbs bfore college so ill be at my perfect weight so then I can go to college and battle the freshmen 15 more easily. I can’t wait till summer so I can actually dedicate my time to losing weight.</p>
<p>BTW, I think weight loss is a LOT harder than doing well in school.</p>

WHAT? You don’t have to put in hours of studying every day for several years to lose weight. Eating healthy, avoiding excess sugar and fat in your diet, and getting more exercise should do it. See the movie <em>Supersize Me</em> - it will gross you out! When I saw it, I had an aversion to fattening food for a few weeks, and I vowed to boycott McDonald’s the rest of my life because the food is disgusting. As a result of seeing the documentary, I’d rather starve than eat at McDonald’s.</p>
<p>My biggest challenge…making a schedule and sticking with it.</p>
<p>If I can do this, it will take care of everything. Doing well (study time), the freshman 15 (I’m going to put working out on my schedule), etc. Sometimes it’s really tempting not to deviate from it and it could lead to trouble but I’ll do my best I guess.</p>
<p>It’s really weird though. I run 2 miles everyday but weight loss is really slow for me. School is so much easier for me becuase they payoff is faster. The meal plan at the schools will make me gain so much weight.</p>
<p>if you want to loose a **** load of weight.</p>
<p>do this</p>
<p>eat the same thing everyday at the same time everyday and go to sleep and excercise at the same time everyday.</p>
<p>I am not away at school. I am in NYC and live in the Bronx. so i dont eat at school, My school doesnt even have food. Its in columbus circle so all is good.</p>
<p>The school meal plans have to have some sort of vegitation.</p>
<p>Eat that.</p>
<p>If you must eat carbs, only eat carbs.</p>
<p>If you feel like a burger or somthing. Eat the meat and only the meat. have 4 of them.</p>
<p>if you dont mix carbs and protein you will loose weight. also you will have some awsome skin. No acne, i dont even think its possible to have acne if you eat like that.</p>
<p>also drink alot of water. If the water in school aint good, buy a brita or purr filter. drink 2 Gallons a day.</p>
<p>You will be set.</p>
<p>and eat one night a week anything you want. so have a Pizza or somthing. But just 1 night.</p>
<p>Monday
Bread and salad and eat apples throghout the day</p>
<p>Tuesday
meat and salad and Apples throghout the day.</p>
<p>and on and on.</p>
<p>The apples are great with water they fill ya up. also keep yourself active so you dont think about food.</p>
<p>vinny, remember the whole food pyramid thing we learned about in health class? There’s a reason it’s recommended you have a wide variety of foods.</p>
<p>That thing is old. that is why U.S. Department of Agriculture
has said they wasnt to revamp it. </p>
<p>I dont think its a good system, If you want to loose weight you cant eat protein and carbs together. It is a No No becosue that is what makes alot of fat.</p>
<p>Biggest problem in college?
My major…
What was kinda funny with me and the ‘freshman 15’ was that in 1st year, I lost 30lbs, but then I put on 40 since then!</p>
<p>At this point, I will have my generals (nearly) completed in a year and a half. My challenge is finding a minor, or figuring out which one I am going to accidentally stumble into.</p>
<p>That plus the “I ain’t got no car so I walk EVERYWHERE” diet plan will work wonders! I actually LOST weight my first semester, thanks to these fine programs. Well, that and like…really bad relationship stress. So, stress + no money + tons of walking = weight loss.</p>
<p>< Gaining weight is even harder >
All you have to do is pig out. And that’s inevitable for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For that matter, pigging out is inevitable during the winter months, as the cold weather enhances one’s appetite and promotes those fat and sugar cravings.</p>
<p>I don’t know how anyone can claim that gaining or losing weight is harder than studying.</p>
<p>haha i’m going to defend steaky. losing weight is impossible for me. and forget supersize me, read fast food nation by eric schlosser instead. :D</p>
