Hi Everyone! I am minx34, and I am new to this site. I just subscribed a week ago, so I am very new to the site and the community. A Rebel n00b, you might say. I am going to graduate college soon (June 16th woot!) and I am going to graduate school for a Masters in Public Health in the fall so it is really important to me to get healthy. I am currently 5'5, 215 pounds. I was already overweight leaving high school at 154 pounds, but in college I gained 60 pounds overall. Not only do I want to lose weight, but I want feel healthy, agile, and more energetic than I have been. If I'm going to promote health to others I have to be healthy myself, true? In addition to this, all of my immediate family but me has hypertension as well as diabetes. I am overweight, but I have yet to be diagnosed with it. I want to keep it that way. I am also engaged to my high school sweetheart+soulmate. We have been dating for seven years now, and we are getting ready to get married in August 2015 after I receive my masters and he starts his phD. I want to be my best version of myself for him for life, which is why I want to start a change. I would love support from the rebel alliance in this journey. Looking forward to making some good friends here! I love to talk about Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Marvel Universe, Kingdom Hearts, The Sims, creative writing, the Italian Reniassance, great books, and any good RPG games out there--I am a broke college student, so I'm behind on gaming these days. I own a PS2 and a sega genesis though! And for those of you also engaged, lets chat! Especially if you have found ways to cut down on wedding costs... minx34
