look, hey your already great i can tell, you actually made a great accomplishment just by getting on the squad. If your 5'8 and 150 thats not really to bad, just don't eat as much junk food, cut down on pop, and drink tons of water. thats how i'm starting my weight program. except i weigh 149 and i'm 5'3, i'm the one who needs to loose weight. maybe we can help eachother? anyway, my msn is Lizzy_87@hotmail.com you can e-mail me or what ever. i hoped i helped. love always amanda
