  • A couple months ago me and my friend who are working out/ dieting religiously, stopped for a couple days because of college finals, and ended up losing the most that week.

  • I am a waitress at Applebee's. If you're looking for a steak the Signature Sirloin with Garlic Herb Shrimp is amazing. 500 cals... the potatos are scarce but the sauce and shrimp make you feel like you're eating a lot.
