Can you imagine not carrying around 60 pounds of extra fat?

Based on my own experience with losing weight, I’ve compiled pages upon pages of notes and useful tips for anyone looking to shed those extra pounds in college. Gaining those dreaded ‘freshman 15′ doesn’t have to happen to you! I lost 55 pounds during my freshman year alone, and I’m going to tell you how you can achieve similar results!

This site came to be after more than a years journey. What most know as the freshman 15, for me was the freshman 20. It hit me especially hard because I was a former high school athlete, and little did I know I had to account for this shift in my activity levels. I didn’t realize all the things in college that would be pressuring me to gain weight. Until it was too late…

One day I realized the horrible truth, I was fat. I didn’t know how it happen, one too many cheeseburgers with cheese fries, one too many beers, one too many pizzas at midnight? It was all of them. It was my semester long abandoment of any kind of nutrition regiment.

For the next year, I dedicated my time to researching and putting into action everything I learned. I studied Health, nutrition, fitness, lifting techniques, bodybuilding, powerlifting, running, much more.. and still continue to educate myself.

I managed to lose all the weight I had gained, and then some. I didn’t stop losing till I hit my ideal weight. I went from 235 to 180 in 6 months and felt amazing.

It has become my goal to teach what I have learned to others. To help those who fall victim to the college weight trap and to educate those entering college and prepare them.
