5 Common Mistakes when dieting

Wanna find out your mistakes when dieting, check out the 5 common reasons you are not loosing weight even though you seem to be doing everything right. At least I thought I was…

For some unexplainable reason, I gain weight during summer. So annoying… it’s those extra two kilos that make all my clothes just a little tighter. Not to mention that I do not feel comfortable in a bikini.
