Need to lose weight?
I think u have plenty of time. I’m 5′4 169 lbs and my goal is 130 lbs by April. I have been using The Biggest Loser dvds. I lost 4lbs in the first week, but then I started lifting weights more and have gained it back but I figure it is muscle mass which is what I wanted. You have plenty of time but start now, u might get there sooner than u are hoping for. Good luck, u can do it.
