my doctor told me about a week ago to lose weight due to what i've got. he
was almost apologetic over it until i laughed and said no problem. losing
weight and gaining muscle mass is obscenely easy for me--i actually had to

i've lost 15lbs and i havent altered my diet (consisting primarily of
cokes, chips, and pizza lately) at all.

everything to get normal in the mornings.
