Just your typical "hello, I'm new here" post

It's my "hello, I'm new here" post! Hey everyone my name is Demi and I'm a 24 year old college student. I'm a member of Sparkpeople.com as well but I have friends who use myfitnesspal and encouraged me to join here too. Anyhoo, I just started my journey to healthier me. My goal right now is to lose 20-30lbs by the end of August for my friends wedding. I've started the couch the 5k program and I'm on day two today. It's kicking my butt considering I've been a couch potato for the past three years. I was a active figure skater growing up but stopped when I turned 16 so I could have to time to do high school stuff (prom, football games, etc) and basically my weight has skyrocketed since. I'm a professional college student (seriously they won't let me leave) I'm on year 6 of trying to get my bachelors in Historic Preservation and museum studies. One day I hope to work in International Preservation so I can travel. I love to travel and have been to a few countries and all over the US but there are still plenty of places on my list to explore. Well...I think that's a long enough introduction! I look forward to meeting many wonderful people on this site
