You are home from college. Kudos for taking such good care of yourself in your youth. In this fast food, chemical, stressful world, your health is the best commodity to hold dear.
I waited until my body crashed and burned in my 50's. Coming along.

Doing it to lose weight - that's part of a good health plan.
Best of success in your life's journey. Be healthy and happy.
