Well of course it goes along with a healthy diet


I took a semester off in college and went to Australia for 6 months. While I was there I became very depressed and stopped eating right and working out.

I had went from 120 lbs to 152 lbs in less than 6 months!

I immediately took action and took 2 swimming classes, one weight training class, one running class, and racquetball and badminton (a little much for one semester), but I was able to lose the 30 pounds I had gained (and keep it off) in 2.5 months!

I guess that's a little more than I would ever suggest to anyone, but it worked for me. After that semester I got away with taking two exercising classes every semester to help me keep the weight off! I felt great!

Grad school is very difficult, especially since it's more stressful, more time consuming, and no PE credits count! lol. I am working full time during grad school too though so that definitely does not help. Although I don't think I have put on as much as I did during undergrad, I chop it up to age and maturity to know I can't eat the same things and drink as much and still get the results I expect. Guess I did learn something during undergrad.

What do you do for work?

Have you cut out soda and beer? Haha, soda and beer are full of unnecessary calories!
