College student advice?
Im an overweight college student that needs a little help with healthy meals and work out plans that can fit into my hectic life. Im 19 and am about 35-40 pound over weight (according to my BMI). Im on winter break right now and am trying to work off as much as I can before i head back to school. When I do get back to school I don't want to return to my old eating habits and my usual laziness when it comes to working out. Im taking 17 hours of classes and work 2-4 days a week at a local pizza place(I know its not helping). What advice would you give to me and what kinds of healthy low calorie foods can i cook in a microwave since I don't have my own kitchen?

I like the Weight Watchers smart meals. Plus, I would also try to get healthier snacks to carry with you, like granola bars (though look at the labels to make sure they aren't caked with sugar), so you can eat something a little better when you're hungry or busy.
Also, if you have a bike, I would bring that with you to campus and ride your bike to class and/or work (if you're able to). It's good exercise.
Finally, I would try to see if you can talk to a dietician on campus, if you can see one for free. (My former campus offered that.) He or she can give you ideas for healthier meals in the dining halls. In the meantime, I would try to pick items like broiled items instead of fried foods.
