Hi Ashley! Just so you know I am a girl even though my name sounds like a boy's name. I am totally with you. Next year I am going to high school too, and I want to look slim and confident. So over the summer of 2003 I'm going to be making much better choices. I know I don't have a weight problem; I just tend to eat all the bad stuff instead of fruits and vegetables. You don't need to go on a diet, you just have to exercise and make better food choices. I hope I helped,and I wish you the very best of luck on losing weight. Talk at cha l8er.
