Replies thepartyboy Posted at 11:29 am on April 10, 2008 It's a myth. They say it's more like the average freshmen gains 6 pounds, which is usually due to most young adults not getting enough exercise. All of those who were athletes generally do not continue that in college, and that's where the unexpected weight gain comes from. HatesYou Posted at 8:52 pm on April 8, 2008 oh goodness, if anything i hope to lose weight my freshmen year! i'll be struggling to pay off my tuition and living expenses, along with passing my courses! nevertheless, i refuse to pay much mind to things as these, simply because their subjective views with no effect on me whatsoever. i mean, sure, i'll be a freshmen in a few months, but thats about the only link i have to this theory. you'd do well by following my example The CBL Posted at 1:16 pm on April 8, 2008 I only gained 5 lbs.  I  have gained more this year for sure, though!  I really like ice cream.   The CBL Posted at 9:20 am on Feb. 28, 2008 I never got it. ZiggyILM Posted at 2:35 pm on Feb. 23, 2008 college is the perfect time to take advantage of the gym (if yours has one) since it's so close to you. I actually lost weight when i first started as a freshman... but i made it a point to eat vegetables when they were available, a salad a day etc.  The freshman 15 is all about the kind of person you are... and what you're going to eat plus it doesn't hurt that my campus/classes take a lot of walking to get to everywhere ;) whitesnow Posted at 12:06 pm on Feb. 21, 2008 Eating healthy is the main factor in avoiding the freshman 15. Try not to get stuck into the loop of eating fast food in or around campus and try to keep your diet as consistent as possible with how it was before. dreamweaver Posted at 1:08 pm on Feb. 19, 2008 Quote: from tscott 87 at 10:21 pm on Feb. 18, 2008 I didn't gain 15 pounds as a freshman.  Mind you... I didn't party or eat tons of junk food... I ate in the college cafeteria a lot.  But I stayed the same weight.  I haven't ever had issues with weight before though.  Take what you want from that... Many students aren't usually affected- it's more of a myth than anything, but it does happen if you don't watch how you eat and exercise. You can easily avoid it. tscott 87 Posted at 7:21 pm on Feb. 18, 2008 I didn't gain 15 pounds as a freshman.  Mind you... I didn't party or eat tons of junk food...

If so, too young. Sure they might be smart, but social interaction would be difficult and they'd miss out on making friends. All 13 previous replies displayed.
