-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
My time frame was Dec2008-Oct2009, it seems very reasonable

150ish?

to be healthy, and be able to do the things I wanna do,without being out of breath. Also I can't be a fat surgeon, it's just a no,no

not really, I wanna be thin for all events!

possibly my upcoming heavier school load
