LOL!!! same here. I used to be bout 180lb at my heaviest and my legs are still the same. I'm just going to work on toning them rather than losing the non-existent fat.

Good luck to all those with finals this week!!

I just pulled an all-nighter last night for an exam I had at 7:30 am today. I literally studied all day and night. It sucked, but I think it was worth it. At the very least, I should be happy that I'm done with that class forever!!

Now just 3 more finals to get through...

I wanna join

Stats:
Age: 20
Height: 5'6"
Starting Weight: 234
Current Weight: 192
Goal Weight: 135ish, but I'm thinking that's too skinny for me.

I'm a junior in college, but I'm on the five year plan for engineering. Reasons for losing: vanity, health, and statistically pretty people make more money. Wow...that seems pretty shallow, but it's my motivation.

My finals don't start until next week, but it's really going to suck when they do. There are reading days this week for which I have plans to get some serious studying done, but I'll probably end up cramming last minute. It's almost easier losing the weight than it is to get over my awful procrastination habit.

I've been stuck for almost a month now so I set myself a mini goal earlier today. I think my ticker showing me I was almost half way there was discouraging me, so now it's back at the beginning. I'm also going to try and zig-zag my caloric intake to see if I can beat this plateau before the holidays.

It's not too bad this semester. I just switched to a different engineering than the one I was originally majoring in because I just wasn't very good at it, and it's amazing how much more I like school now that the subject matter actually interests me. I'm not looking forward to next semester though. Some of the classes I'd been putting off are all going to hit me at once.

I'm in my first trimester of med. school, also staying up way later than usual, which probably means about midnight. I'm past the days when I stay up till 3 am studying. I need my sleep. I find it helpful to go to sleep for 5 or 6 hours and get up early if I think I need to do more. I had my first exam today. Only 9 more to go. Blah.

I've been struggling with weight loss recently. I was doing really well, then I had about 3 days when I ate a lot. Now I'm kicking myself, of course. Why would I do that? Anyway, I think I'm back on track, or at least on my way. Today was better. Tomorrow will be even better.

Good luck everyone!

i would like to sleep earlier too but i just cant wake up early in the morning.. so i always finish whatever i have to do .. and usually its around 3,4..

i've heard that getting a good sleep helps losing weight.. at least 6~8 hrs of sleep is neccessary.. but professors arent helping out.. damn..

i think i'm in the middle of a slump these days... i'm really depressed and gloomy these days.. since i broke up w/my boyfriend just a couple days ago.. i just cant stop eating that one or two cookies after the meal...

and its so cold that i dont wanna go out to exercise... what am i going to do...

two weeks left of school and i'm goin home to my parents..i wanna show them a skinnier me... but the way i'm doing right now.. i'm not too sure what i would look like when i meet them at the airport...

i need to at least get back to jumping ropes.. but then i have so much to do for the finals.. eventhough i think i'm just gonna play around and not concentrate on anything until the last minute... its so frustrating....

I'm 5 foot 6 as well! But I was hoping to get down to 125. Is that going to be too skinny you think? Why do you think 130 is too skinny for you?

iluvgymnastics · #58 (**permalink**) December 4th, 2007, 04:40 AM

I dunno what happened with that last post. I tried to quote... didn't work out so well. Anyway...

You must take breaks from studying, right? That's when I go to the gym. I usually go twice a day for 45 minutes or so each time. And bring your notes with you. It's easy to read while you're on a bike, and can be done walking on the treadmill or on the elliptical. Do something, even if its not much. Do what you can.

School is closed for the day. I really needed to take that final today to get it over with to start studying for all my others. I'm not happy about that. I guess I should be happy with the extra time. Ok, back to studying.

depends on your frame i suppose. i've got big heavy bones so i'm thinkin if i get dwn to that i'm going to be skin and bones. i've never been less than 147 and i used to b happy with that. and that wos when i wos around 13/14.

so i'm thinkin in i've got taller since then so 130 might be too skinny. will c though.

depends on your frame at the end of the day
