Hi I am about to turn twenty in the next few weeksi have gained quite of bit of weight with the past few months or from this time last year i know that i do not eat right how many college students do eat right while in school.  Ok last time i check i am little above 200 lbs. I know i can be able tolose weight my biggest problem lack of exercise my college has a gym. but i do not know what to do and how long to do exercises and i stop using the gym becuase i do not have anyone to share the expeirience. does anyone know if there is a way where  i can get my self the pride to use the gym. 

  

 You are to be commended on wanting to get to the gym. It can be intimidating, I know. Is there anybody that works in there, towel providers or maintenance? Usually there's people there that will show you how to use the equipment. I know its very hard to ask a muscle bound svelt person, but they didn't always look that way. Lots of times they are more than eager to help someone out because they've been where you are!  Or, if that's still difficult, maybe you know someone who would go with you a couple of times, just till you get the hang of it.
You might want to see if there is a WLC group in your area too, there's power in numbers. Good luck!

Hey college student... 

I am almost 40 years old and also a full-time college student. I am going thru the Nursing Program and my obstacle is that I have sooooo much to study, that I don't have a lot of time to exercise, but when I do, I exercise at the gym on campus...no contracts, no payments, all I need is my student ID. I can only tell you what motivates me and I really hope it encourages you...IT"S FREE to the students to start with, the profesors are right there on site and I'm sure they can give you a few hints on exercise, and what really gets me up and going is MUSIC !!! If you love music, get a CD player with your favorite music and go for it. If you do not have a partner, don't wait for one, don't wait for no one...Common you're half my age...Let's go !!! And good luck.
