Thanks, Judy. It's been a rough few months -- I was taking a lot of hours to be ready for grad school while also continuing to work. Not to mention some personal family stress...so

So I'm back and bringing a few extra pounds with me. My original goal weight was 155, but I hovered between 148-150 most of last summer. Today I was 160. So bummed! But I know it's all doable and I'm thinking of it like an illness...I'm glad I caught it early!

I'll be starting at Vanderbilt University in August so I've got a busy summer ahead of me. But there is NO WAY I'm buying uniforms and new jeans in larger sizes so 150, here I come! Now that classes are done for a while I'm dedicated to getting more gym time and eating healthier. I really started slipping on the junk foods lately so that's the first thing to go.

Thanks for letting me re-up into the group. I've missed it a lot.
