I am a girl wrestler, but all the people i wrestle with are guys, so i have to be really strong. Still, not all my extra weight is muscle. I would like to lose a little over twenty pounds. I don't look bad, I look good in bikini's and tight shirts and all, but I'd just feel better about myself - and would be able to be a more successful athlete if I lost some weight. Questions or Comments, I'm open!
