Re: PLEASE HELP me with body fat VS body appearance
Seastar, this is going to sound personal but - do you pee clear? I've met plenty of people who aren't properly hydrated and it causes them to become bloated as their digestive system doesn't work correctly.

She commit to 15 minutes of wall sits daily and it sorted her out in about a month. You don't need to lift weights to build the strength needed f...
