9 stone isn't much. Your the reason I get pissed of at this bulletin board. your not even 140 pounds, and here I am 152. If your a whale what am I? You have a psycological problem if you can complain about your weight that much when its not even bad

HEY, I just wanted to say Claire, I COMPLETELY understand what ur going through. I'm exactly the same way with my best friend, shes a flippin fitness chick and all into the exercise , shes tanned and has a flat stomach and looks great even in her worst outfits, it drives me insane! Then when we go swimming (if I let her drag me to the pool) and she gets hit on by all these guys, its extremely annoying. Anyways, but if your worried about looking good, skorts are always good and halter tops look great on everyone and help minimize when your out in the sun and being on the beach! I hate that feeling of looking like a whale too, everyone does. But anyways, just have fun (not meaning to sound like those cheesy ppls) but relax and have fun and go crazy, thats was vacations are for! Hope this isn't a stupid entry for ya, I did a diet and lost about 7-8 pounds in a week (by doing the Dr. Bernstein diet), it really works. Problem: I gained it all back, but I'm going to join a gym and go about 3-4 times a week, think I can lose 20 pounds by summer?!
