<human>: I just bought my prom dress online, and to my horror I found that it didn't fit properly. Sadly, the dress went through 3 countries before I got it and so the deadline for sending the dress back is long past.  Therefore I'm hell-bent on making the dress fit. I want to lose about 15 pounds before prom in June, and wondered if lose-it could help me!

I'm 17, F, 5 7" and about 185 pounds. In other words *overweight*. I've always been of the muscular type with a somewhat bulky (ಠ\_ಠ )upper body, and I want to lose fat, and not so much muscle. I got access to a modest gym with the most basic equipment, and now that it's getting warmer I'm also open to doing stuff outside. What I *don't* have access to, however, is proper food as I live in a host family as a poor student. I therefore can't afford to buy a lot of *fancy* food.

Does lose-it have some healthy tips as to what to do with the food, healthy snacks and stuff,   and what do do in the gym to reach my goals? :)
