I actually lost a lot of weight my first yr of college. It was very stressful and so much more walking then I was used to!! Almost a mile to campus from the dorms and I would have to walk it at least 4 times a day!! So this year, I am definitely trying to gain and then maintain.

Great advice! Hitting the gym between classes is great for reducing stress AND to avoid the boredom eating. Planning is really important too: if you know you’ll be out late and will likely hit a pizza joint later on in the week, try to eat especially healthy in the days leading up to it.

Good tips, esp the “don’t skip a meal” thing, which most students probably do. I have to say though, I think most of that 15 lbs come from drinking in parties.

awesome tips as usual! I think some people really just think that the freshman 15 is inevitable — and end up giving up on caring about their weight all together! Universitys have actually really amped up their healthy eats selections and you can’t beat free access to the gym..now it’s just a matter of using these utilities!
