Hello community! Wanna be friends? 30 day shred anyone?

Hey everyone!
I'm still so new here, I used to use 'Lose it' on my Iphone but would have to look up calories on here and so I thought why not switch. As I realize what a big community is behind this site, I am getting more and more excited about losing weight and sharing my experience. I don't have a lot of friends that are very interested in weight loss, most of them don't really need to be, and I feel like a greenhorn trying to talk to them about healthy eating.
My lifestyle change started when I became a vegetarian 5 month ago which made me lose 6 lbs from my starting weight 159 lbs down to 153 lbs (I'm 5 ft 9 in). Then my qualifying exams got in the way and because I am such an emotional eater, I would shove weekloads of cookies and other bad foods in my body trying to eat the stress away. Somehow, I think it was the late-night studying and humongous amounts of stress, I managed to stay at 153 lbs.
Anyhow, I am already talking too much, my final weight goal is anywhere between 138-140 lbs. When I started it was really just about the number on the scale but as I look at all these posts and the amazing and inspiring stories I realize that I really also want to get much fitter and stronger. I am running in the morning but not for long, usually 2-3 miles just so I can eat more ^^, and I recently picked up tennis but this site got me really excited to actually be more toned.
Even loosing that little bit of weight while becoming a vegetarian has given me so much more confidence day in and day out that I just picture myself so strong and happy being fit and having a tummy that I actually want to show off and not suck in every time I sit down.
So long story short, I learned about the 30 day shred DVD on here and I think it would be the perfect way for me to get started with an exercise routine. A total of 30 minutes is absolutely doable for me in the mornings which is my favorite workout time anyway. I also like that I don't need much else for the program and that I can do it at home. So I decided that I am going to do it. And I'm so pumped about this!!
Everyone that wants to join me is more than welcome!! I would love to have some other people go along with me so that we can motivate each other! Feel free to add me as a friend and send me a message!!

And while I'm writing this, I might as well ask some questions too. Do you think I should stop my morning runs and do the 30 day shred instead or would it be a good idea to alternate? I don't think I have time for both, unless I make it a 15 mins run and use it as a warm up. Any ideas?
Thanks for everything!!
