AAAAAH Ok thanks steve! I (hope) I haven't been hiding trying different ways to get in shape. Just to make sure what the guides sugested (as I only have one scarf) to show a little early wich is just done anyway for a new club. and wet it with cold waterdrape over my head for a a little bit. Then re wet the scarf. I thought with long hair or something a bit of tap cool water in the hair and on my head may help in someway. The scarf around a neck trick is a oldish but helps. Some even look cool for example mine has a print of a nebula in purple. I have no idea wich one. though Alas hovering around 240 depending on the scale I ask, that's still a bit to go. I want to shoot for being and staying at 225-230 at least.
