    I have an strained hamstring, so it's hard to exercise (and I'm super frustrated by that), but I'm in. I need something to focus on to get me out of my depression. Thanks for doing this. I need a lot of support.

    I have totally let myself go since the fall semester started! Going to kick this month into high gear as I have an event at the end of next month around Thanksgiving that I need to look my best for! Ultimate goal by then: 113 lbs!
