Any College Grads? Or anyone with tips?

Hi!

I'm new to MFP, and I'm trying to lose 30-40 lbs by the time I walk across the stage with my bachelor's degree next year. I've never been comfortable and confident in my own skin, so I'm making the change. I've been logging everything I eat, and when I move off campus next semester I'll be able to implement eating every 2-3 hours. I haven't decided yet if I want to do paleo or just clean eating. Any one have opinions? I'll be lifting and doing cardio 5-6 days per week when I get off campus as well. I'm a full time student taking 18 hours and I'll be working, but I'm not going to let either of those become excuses or get in the way. I don't want to be one of those people who look back at important pictures from good times of life and think about how terrible I looked and felt. Feel free to add me! I'm looking for any way and every way to stay motivated, avoid getting discouraged, and to make this happen!

Shelby :)
