  3. Jknight , Have you tried to talk to her and put it all on the table ? Good , bad or indifferent ? ... Maybe you should just approach her and say I realize the tension or I think we need to sit down and discuss where this is going ....
  4. Southern sleever .....yes it should be pretty grown out .....like dont shave for about 5-6 weeks

  6. Hi all , 5'1 starting weight 231 sleeved on 9/17 and weight as of last week is 201.6 .... Tried instagram but can't understand it for the life of me , lol ..... Lets all keep up the good work and for those still waiting to be sleeved , Good Luck
  7. I agree with Frza .... Once you do it you will never go back to shaving .... They see so many a day , ( with no disrespect ) yours will not be any big deal to them ....
