Hi, my name is Kate. I'm a psychology (maybe pre-pharmacy) student at the University of Texas in Austin. I've been overweight all of my life And it's gotten even worse since this is my first year of college (freshman fifteen is NOT a myth!). I'm vowing to turn my life around and get myself healthy, fit, and lighter!

All right! Welcome; let's do it! Might I recomment jumping into one of the group challenges? EnyGirl set up a really cool one that ends on Memorial Day and I'm guessing she'll set up another after that, but there are May challenges that have just started that you can probably still get in on, or make your own and others will join you! I would wish you good luck, but I don't think you need it if you already have motivation!
