New school, new me?

I'm going to give MFP the good ol' college try. I've been calorie-counting for about a year and a half now, and I love it. I decided to try doing all of this with MFP to get some support from like-minded people.
I'm 22, from CA, living in Chicago, and headed to Colorado soon. I'm just about to finish up college with a BS in Biology (graduating Summa Cum Laude in a week!!!), and I'm headed to vet school in the fall. I think now is the perfect time to work on becoming the person I want to be as I enter into this new phase in my life.
On top of those life changes, I'm also going to be getting married in September 2012 to my high-school sweetheart -- 7 year anniversary coming up in a few days! Whew, where did the time go?!
I've never been significantly overweight, I just think I've always had a little weight to lose. I'm hoping to lose those few pounds and also train for my second marathon at some point. I'd love any support - so friend request me, or let me know if I can friend request you if you're willing.

Welcome Aboard! Congratulations on your recent accomplishments. This is a great website for motivation and support. I have been on here for a little over a week and I love it and you willl too. You made a major decision about your health that you won't regret. It's not going to be easy, but with a little help from MFP you will succeed.0
