starting again, and a question

commstud79 Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/10/02	2002/10/18, 04:40 PM hi, I started off great on the first week, then I had to travel lost track on exercise and diet and back to square one. I'm going to start over... Hope to stay motivated this time. one question, I'm 5 foot and 123 pounds... am trying to lose 20-25 pounds and since I'm short every extra inch shows up so easily. well, any case my question is at 23, is there any thing i can do to grow taller?

Follow an FT routine, eat and sleep well and stretch away!!! Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
