    Need to lose 20kg :( HELP!

    I wouldn't go for weigh yourself unless its something like once a week. Your weight flucuates every day by a kilo or so... so its really hard to measure it. Also with the sizes its a bit silly as every brand has its own set of sizes. French connection is the worst, I fit into a size 6 there...

    Need to lose 20kg :( HELP!

    Miso soup is great at nighttime a small snack, it only has 36 calories per serving and it really does fill you up. Soups in general are good because they the water fills you up. Pumpkin soup is my personal fav :) Yoga's more of a stress relaxation thing... if you wanted to build up strength for...

    Need to lose 20kg :( HELP!

    As you are female unless you are on steroids you cannot develop larges muscles. Its good to push yourself and carry heavy things though because the more muscle you have the more energy (fat) you burn when you're not doing anything. However when I refer to "more muscle" this isn't the bulky, its...

    The individual in society

    Why wouldn't you want to give back? Isn't the fact that going to school is free, and university a minimal cost an example of how society invests in us in the hope we'd contribute something back? If no one contributed, the privledges society offers would cease to exist.

    Should I consider medicine or just forget it?

Looking at your subjects I am curious as to why you want to do medicine, not to say you can't. Medicine does not have english...

    Rules for Customers

    dear customer, No, we don't have a magical second store out back. We have boxes, we never really know what is in the boxes until we open and dig through them. This is time consuming, this isn't possible to do in what the five seconds you are willing to wait, and if you force me to go and look...

    Romance Books.

    I like them, but I won't read them unless they've got good characters and storyline that I can respect. Pride and Prejudice will always have a home on my shelf. The "omg im in love with my boss..." makes me want to stab them, and really any badly written characters generally piss me off. Not...
