It just came at a good time and justified all I am doing. I really want lean now, I want 10% BF jist to see how I look. Quote:

I will get over it and be perfectly fine though, found out there is a goodwill in my little farm town area and plan on visiting there soon.

Damn teachers. | they are -just keep in mind (for you girl-like-size-obsessed-types) a lot of them will have older clothing - it's still in style but older clothes tend to be sized far less generously than the sizes are today... that size medium shirt you pick up - might cut off your circulation.. Ignore the size and go with what fits your body and what looks good.

great advice as always, mal - i learned this somewhat recently, i stopped caring about the number on the clothing as long as it looked good I was ok with it b/c I am smaller now than I was...that is all that matters...
