I was doing athletics and although I'd done them in high school we never focused on lifting all that much. I went from scrawny to being able to do a ton of pull-ups. No more pull-ups from me, I'm weak again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-113513 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 06:32:57 +0000 tequiero21 113513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight... I think it was all the commuting... 1.5 hours each way to all the way to the city. Pretty much kept most of the weight off until pregnancy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112434 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:32:44 +0000 Rubies 112434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 20lbs between the end of high school to the end of my first year in university. Then I lost it all the next year. But I've been very up-and-down on the scale since high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112433 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:32:38 +0000 littlebug 112433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Artbee - I lost a TON of weight on Topomax, too - about 20 pounds over 3 months. It was not healthy.</p> <p>I lost weight my freshman year (all the walking and losing some muscle mass from not cheering anymore). But then my sophomore year, I packed on about 20 pounds. I had a horrible roommate and was really depressed, to the point that I had to drop out for a semester. I eventually lost about 10 pounds over the next 2 years, and then quickly dropped another 20 pounds when I started taking Topomax in grad school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112427 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:29:06 +0000 BSB 112427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I don't think I gained much as a freshman. I didn't really go out and party a lot, either. </p> <p>I did gain some weight when I got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112363 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:42:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 112363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 30 pounds in college because I went on a diet (trying to get the boys!) and I was walking so much. I slowly gained back 15 pounds or so over the course of the next three years from the usual - beer &amp; pizza. </p> <p>Now, I definitely gained the Married 40! ...Wait, that's not a thing? Crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112341 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 112341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 15-20 lbs my first year. I ran myself ragged my first year of college as it was also my senior year of high school. I took 17 college credits, was a student group leader at my church, was in choir and on newspaper, and worked 20-30 hrs at subway. It was a hard year and I was just constantly busy so I lost weight.<br /> But I gained it all back when I took a year off ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112330 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:15:51 +0000 Adira 112330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, I gained the 15. And then another 10 Junior year. Oops. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112305 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:59:08 +0000 mynoahbear 112305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gained about 10-15 lbs. my face was super puffy because of the extra weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112302 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:56:16 +0000 Mrs.Someone 112302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure how much I gained in my freshman year, but I had an awful trend of weighing my age with a 0 at the end. Lasted from 13ish until I was 22! I never learned how to eat properly, and once I was "free" in college it only got worse. Luckily I lost a ton of weight after college and the trend has not returned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112261 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:25:45 +0000 MsMamaBear 112261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None, we had to walk everywhere on campus. Driving our cars was a waste because of parking. </p> <p>I always get surprised when ppl gain weight the 1st year...I guess their college had transporation for them ON campus!LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112064 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:49:47 +0000 Meridian 112064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gained 10 my freshman year, then another 10 throughout the rest of college. And I have been yoyo-ing up and down since then, for the past 10 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112053 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:45:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 112053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't gain weight in college. I was roughly the same weight from teens until my very late 20's when my fast metabolism went to sleep! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112041 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:37:29 +0000 Alivoo01 112041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stayed about the same weight, I think. I had to start working to maintain my weight when I turned 25. It was like a magic switch and BAM! I was so sad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112020 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:22:02 +0000 Mrsbells 112020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost weight because we had to cook our own food. I was in England and stayed in dorm that had self catering </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-112018 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:20:44 +0000 joyjoy 112018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained the freshman 15 (or more?) my first quarter of college! It freaked me out, and I started taking PE classes like speed walking, weight lifting and pilates. I lost it all by the summer of freshman year and kept it off until after college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111947 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:33:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 111947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't gain anything until I got married, which was at the end of my junior year. I've gained 6 or 7 pounds since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111945 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:33:21 +0000 mrbee 111945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably lost about 25-30 pounds over the course of college... just as my high school football muscles slowly faded away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111943 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:32:52 +0000 MamaMoose 111943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually stayed pretty much the same my freshman year. But sophomore year I put on about 15 pounds. I blame this on my husband. We start dating at the beginning of sophomore year and he was a football player who ate like 5 full meals a day and always made me come with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111942 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:32:40 +0000 looch 111942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: me too! i was so tiny back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111934 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:30:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 111934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually lost weight my first yeat of college. I had really bad eating habits trying to stay skinny. We used to say we were "drinking" out diet, not healthy caused me a lot of stomach problems. I finally started to date a guy when I was 19 that helped get me to a healthy place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111851 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:16:15 +0000 autumnlove 111851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a lb or two! I was under 100 lbs then...<br /> I think weight started sticking on me after my 27th birthday! I miss my fast metabolism! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111842 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:09:10 +0000 mediagirl 111842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gained a healthy amount. I was 120 in high school and by the time college was over, I was 135. I think a lot was muscle from the sports I was playing, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111468 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:28:34 +0000 banana 111468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gained 10 lbs. I used to be way more active in high school (cheerleading, dance team) but once I hit college, I didn't do ANYTHING but eat, study (a little) and go out with my friends (freedom from the parents!). It was pretty bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111457 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:24:09 +0000 heffalump 111457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained weight the end of my senior year of high school. I played tuba in marching band and that's how I kept in shape, but when football season ended I started gaining. But in college I started taking topamax for migraines, so I lost a ton of weight. Too much weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freshmen-15#post-111454 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:22:54 +0000 chopsuey 111454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much weight did you gain your first year of college?<br /> I think I put on 25. :P </p>
