Losing weight before transfer?

Hey all- I'm just wondering if anyone has heard anything about whether or not it's OK to attempt to drop some lbs before a transfer. I'm not planning on transferring until January, so I've got about 3 months to shed the 15lbs I've gained lately. Yikes! I know eating healthy and exercising is always encouraged, but is actively trying to lose weight OK? With this weight gain I'm technically considered overweight, but only by about 8 lbs.


Thanks!
