I am sure you have all been through this before. You get to college and begin to eat like crap (ramen noodles, icecream, pizza, bagels etc) and in my case I gained 13 lbs. I have decided to do something about it by low carbing and daily exercise along with plenty of water instead of soda and juice.

Most of my friends either eat way too much or don't eat at all and live off of diet coke and diet pills. I don't really know anyone who low-carbs. I have read quite a few of the low-carb books so I know what to do and my cafeteria is low-carb friendly. I just would like someone who I could e-mail or post to daily and wouldn't get pissed off. I like being held accountable and talking to someone about what I ate and what exercise I did really helps me and the unique challenges low carbing in college brings. I just want to starve myself and get the weight off quickly but I am resisting the urge and trying to go the more healthy route so I don't get unhealthy.

I would also like to know...how can you people eat all of this fattening food and LOSE weight??? I have read the biochemical explanations of this WOL and still it boggles my mind!!! I bought a scale today and am planning on weighing myself once a week to chart my progress. When does the weight being lost cease to be water and begin to be body fat???
I cannot wait to be able to wear all of my pretty clothes again. I refused to go buy a whole bunch of new clothes so I would have to lose the weight
