You know what I don't understand??? If you people know that there is somewhere important that you have to go, and you KNOW IT, why do you wait until it's three weeks, or a month away and all the sudden you say, Oh my gosh! I need to lose 30 lbs by then???? If you know you're fat 8 maonths before you're supposed to be somewhere why not start THEN instead of WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE KRISTIN???????
