text: im going to mexico in march!  help, my body's not bathing suite ready! anyone have any advice or tips?   that's pretty soon, and it's hard to make any noticeable type of difference before then.  one thing that seems to make me feel a little more comfortable when i go on vacation, is to get a tan.  you can do the spray tan thing, and get a little color, which naturally makes you look a little skinnier.
