I agree with most of the people here. Talk with them and express you concerns. Ask them to not pressure you to participate and stick to your morals. If they won't do what you ask I do think you should find new friends.
I always find that working in study groups help. You can be competitive with each other and help each out with questions and motivation. And I agree with the last person. The more you put into it the more you are going to get out of it and that will help with motivation.
Read the instructions with the packet. It usually depends on which ones you are taking and it will tell you what to do when you miss a pill. Or call planned parenthood. They answer all sorts of these questions.
That's a lot of weight to lose. You must be a tiny guy. Are you sure this is healthy or isn't there a closer weight class?? My suggestion is that or lots of protein and veggies. Starving yourself and dehydrating your self won't work.
I suggest using some products. There is alot out there that will help keeping your hair straight when it's windy out. Or wash and dry your hair at night and in the morning it should be pretty flat and should stay that way.
