Also, once I get moved in, I'll have a little extra (above what I plan to save) to join a gym. Exercise is little right now, but it's more than I have been doing. Looking forward to really hitting it in June.

Remember, moving all that stuff is a good workout too. Once you get going to the gym, I'd really try for something more than you just sitting on a bike or jogging on a treadmill for 45 minutes straight. Some weight lifting does wonders.
It's kinda funny now, but I just got married 2 weeks ago. Almost a year ago is when I started to CrossFit (I can explain if necessary). At the time, my fiance complained to her mother about how she wished her arms were smaller for the wedding. In response, her mom bought her a shakeweight. It was never used. My fiance also joined CrossFit, and she LOVED the way she looked on our wedding day (there's pictures in the wedding thread). The craziest part is that both her and I didn't really lose or gain any weight. We just look a ton better than we used to. It's amazing what happens when you get rid of that little layer of fat on the outside of all of your muscle that you have! Diet also played a big role, and hanging out with a bunch of people who are interested in fitness and eating well really helps force you to do the same. And if I'm gonna drink the theoretical kool-aid, I'd rather it be something that makes me look good and feel better!
