Historygirl881 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi My name is Taddie. I'm new here and looking for help on my fitness journey. I've spent the last 3 years or so in law school focusing on my degree to the detriment of my body (I gained 60 lbs in a single year). Now that I have my JD, I'd like to get back to being a healthy active person, but it's SO DARNED HARD (For example, affordable plus sized workout clothes are a pain and a half to find grrr....). Any help you could provide on my journey would be gratefully received. Quote Level 1 Orc ready to start a health-quest Link to comment
Galaxy Gamer Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 My advice would be to develop some healthy habits before studying for the bar. I put on more pounds during that process than during undergrad and law school combined--and I'm still trying to take those pounds off.

Historygirl881 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't take the bar until July, hopefully that is enough time to cement some good habits. How much did you end up gaining from the bar exam? Quote Level 1 Orc ready to start a health-quest Link to comment
Galaxy Gamer Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Tough to know for sure, because I wasn't inclined to step on a scale back then, but probably 30 pounds or so. And 30 more pounds since passing the thing, so I need to take off 60 pounds to get back to my school weight. Good luck to you in your quest, and also on the test!

Basement Cat Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Welcome to the rebellion, Historygirl! Ooh, a future lawyer! Are you interested in a particular field (finance, divorce, crime, etc.), or are you studying to be more of a generalist? Good luck with your goals and keep us posted!
