School year to working days..effect it has on your weight

[Syringer]

It's only been a week at my summer internship, and I've already put on about 1/3 of the weight I've lost in the past year..i.e. ~5 lb.

~10 hours a day sitting in my car or in front a computer, with sodas, snacks, (and in the past few days greasy, fatty pizza in the fridge) at my disposal, eating more crap on the drive home, and then once arriving home proceeding to further couch potato-ize myself in front of the TV with even more high-sugar/fattening snacks will definitely do it to you. Must start resisting the temptation of Tuesday donuts and Thursday ice creams..or at least limit myself to at most two servings each time.

Combine all that with no 20 minute walks/bike rides each way up and down the huge hills around campus to get to class, no regular trips to the gym, no extreme hallway soccer matches that made those on the floor below us suicidal/homicidal, no lack of abundance of unhealthy crap around all the time, and no feeding myself every ~2-3 hours to keep my metabolism running hard is slowly turning me into your typical, lazy, fat American.

No wonder your working person weigh so much more than your average collegiate.

Hmm, hopefully all this will help prepare me for the upcoming intern eating contest.

You are lucky, summer classes + work + volunteering = lost weight. BAH must gain weight

if you want to lose weight, lock yourself in a room with a really fast spider, and keep running away from it

i lost weight cause of lost muscle and added fat

 

[Colt45]

dont eat or drink for 4 hours, take a sh/t, take a piss. that should bring you back down to your old weight

 

[vshah]

go to the gym every morning

 

[Haps]

Stop jamming food down your gullet. Eat breakfast go to work. Have a normal lunch and go home. There's no need to sit there snacking.

[gigapet]

stop eating like an obese american and get a gym membership......at the very least go for a run b4 work.

resist the temptation of becoming a fat american.

I work 5 days in an office environment. I have no problem finding the time to go to the gym 5 days a week. I have no problem avoiding snacks/frozen pizzas.

The problem isn't your environment.

Tell me about it. This year I wasn't living on campus and no campus-mealplan. 7 lbs lighter through starvation and drinking nothing but metallic-tasting water :disgust:
