I am a 23 year old young professional who has battled weight gain since acquiring the infamous freshman 15 my first year. Before then, I was one of those people you would love to hate. I ate anything I wanted and never thought twice about what I put into my mouth while my stomach stayed obediently flat. After my freshman year, reality hit after I saw a picture of myself taken during the holiday season...and thus began my never ending tug of war with weight.

That summer I worked out regularly and stayed on a strict diet and by the new semester had lost all the weight plus some. Looking great and feeling great, I entered a new year...and then school, stress, and sleep deprivation set in and I gained the weight again. The next summer I did the same...this time losing most but not all of the weight. I entered my third year vowing to eat right and exercise regularly...and it worked...for a while after which all nighters and order out took its toll again. And thus goes the cycle. I lose weight over the summer and gain it during the school year.

I'm not overweight and I realize that but I know that I can be more fit and more healthy. After reading about this site, I am giving this a try. We'll see how this goes...
