This being so, I am very uncomfortable wearing a skirt. I NEED HELP! I wanna lose 15lbs before it gets warm! (i live in canada, and no, we dont live in igloos and no, it dosent snow all the time here) any help would be appreciated! thanx! :love:emilie09 -------------- xXx.emilie.oOo.

You have access to a gym yet? -------------- Get your bicep curling, cut off shirt, matching workout outfit wearing,flexing in mirror "toned" wanna-be ass , out of my squat rack! Don't talk to me, only thing that should be moving is the bar.

Was anyone else's nutrition plan slightly outrageous (over 1800 calories a day!!!!:laugh:) I don't know if I can eat that much in a day. Also how much water should I drink a day minimum?
