explain why an athlete would need more calories than a person who leads a "sedentary" lifestyle
If eating the right foods...such as: whole wheat, protein, fruits, veggies...(calories from healthy choices) a calorie can be seen as a means of getting energy. An athlete will do a lot more activity than a person with a sedentary lifestyle and will need more calories to
"fuel" their bodies.
K so i have been dieting for like 3 months and have lost no weight and then after 2 months i realized just dieting wasnt going to work so i started exercising for 20-30mins a day early morning too plus a diet where im eating an egg sandwhich with green tea for breakfast then for lunch i have whole wheat cheerios with a bowl of grapes and for dinner a plain baked potatoe or weight control oatmeal and then i walk my dog and then by 10pm im in bed and ive been doing this for 2 weeks and havent seen any difference on the scale but ive seen a little difference in appearance but i want my weight to go down and it just wont why is it not working. BTW because i cant leave the house early morning by myself i run up and down the stairs in my house for about 20-30mins for 6 days a week.
There are a few reasons you're not losing weight.
1. you need to eat wayyyy more food than you have listed. 1200 calories is the minimum.
2. Eat more proteins. Proteins build muscle and muscle burns more calories than fat.
3. Forget the potato. It's a bunch of starch and carbs. A sweet potato has so many vitamins and it is better for weightloss.
4. Try to eat about 5 or 6 meals a day. Eat them within 2-3 hours of each other if possible! (This bosts your metabolism!)
5. Drink 64 ounces of water. Unless you actually like the green tea, stop drinking it. It takes more than one glass of it to make a difference in your weightloss.
6. Your mealplan sounds very temporary. Don't deprive yourself! Choose foods that you will eat even once you're at your target weight!

Please give me songs that are about streets and streetlife? and/or have the word 'street', 'lane', etc in it.
my high school class's spirit night theme this year is Sophomore Street. Please, give me good songs that can be danced to. They can be from any time period. I want them to be diverse genres, too. Thank you!
Here's a great one...
Dancing in the Street-Myra
here's a link to the song:

Enjoy!!!
So I'm pretty much in tears right now. When you here it, it'll probably sound retareded but if you were actually "there" it would have felt horrible. Friday, I was suppose to meet my 2 best friends at the mall. I told one of them they had to be there by 6, my parents had plans. So i got there at 6:30, and they were both still at there house, so my parents were like were not leaving you there, were goin to drop you off at the game. So they ended up callin and i was like sorry my parents made me go to the game. The next day, i went to my friends house and i was going to invite one of the friends from the other night but she was like "oh i don't wanna go with her" So i texted her and was like whats ur problem? my parents said i couldnt go blah blah blah. Then she just started cursing at me, saying how i am nobody and how my mom "buys me love" and all this stuff that eventually made me just break down crying. Then on Monday the other girl who wasnt involved but also was one of my "best friends" from that night just texted me saying i have no right to tell this girl stuff i said (which i don't know what was bad) and how i was nothing and needed a reality check. My mom eventually saw all of this and texted them both back saying to please stop. Then the girls mom got involved and called my mom, where my mom started to yell at her because she already had problems before (we took the girl on a trip, and her parents pretty much didn't even thank them and yelled at them after) so now im stuck. I just lost my 2 best friends, my moms pissed, and I'm just alone. Help?
Those girls don't sound nice at all. Why would they bring up stuff like your mom "buys you love"?
How is that even relevant to the situation? It sounds like they had some harsh feelings building up about you before this happened and they decided to just pour it all out because they thought it would be the right moment since there was already conflict. If you have a friend who goes as far as making you cry...you're better off without them!
Uhm, this is weird... but what are some song about drugs?
Like, for example.
"We are all on drugs" -Weezer
"Smoke it" -The Dandy Warhols
"I Take Drugs" -Murderdolls
"Bucket Bong" -Frenzal Rhomb.
Yeah, don't ask why.
"Bottom of the Bottle"-Smile Empty Soul
really catchy!
I am doing a really complex study for a class I am taking. I chose happiness as my topic it is something I've always wanted to study, and I would like to hear some opinions here. I need to see as many views as possible as this is all for research. I VERY much appreciate anyone taking the time to respond.
Here are the questions:
1. Are you happy?
2. What do you think would make you a happy person?
3. Do you believe money brings happiness?
4. What do you believe makes people happy/unhappy?
5. Any other interesting theories about happiness you'd like to share?
Even if you have a completely twisted view on this it would be very helpful to hear it, and this will all stay anonymous of course. THANK YOU!
1. I don't believe in constant happiness. I believe in accepting the moment and believing it's worth while which leads to a fullness that happiness doesn't always provide.
2. Embracing the moment will make a person "happy"! & knowing that circumstance means nothing, yet our attitudes are everything!
3. Money does not bring happiness. It brings excitment which dies down really quickly.
4.Happy people live in the present.
Unhappy people dwell on the past and are far too prepared for the future.
5. A lot of people think a change of situation will make them happier. NOT TRUE! I believe that real happiness isn't situational, but it resides in our hearts!
I think i am depressed. I am 16/f. I am 5/7" and weight like 215. I look at everyone else, and think about how pretty they are, and how I am not.
I am embarresed alot. I hate talking to others. I don't like anything about myself. My friends are all changing! I will never change...
I have the best family and home. ANd I can't be happy like everyone else. For some reason. URG>> i know people who live in foster home, to foster home. No money no one at home
how can i be healthy and happy and my friends stilll wanna be my friends whats happeneing?
The problem is...you're putting too much emphasis on yourself.
It's hard to hear, but I used to worry about the same things.
Instead, turn your focus on others and socialize with them.
When someone sits down next to me at a bench, I strike up a conversation with them. NEVER HAVE A DULL MOMENT!
If you get involved with your life, you'll have no time or desire to think about these things!
long...sorry :(
I'm a brand new freshman in highschool.
over the summer i grew up and i (thought) i became way prettier, nicer, and more outgoing
lately, it seems like i'm a total FREAK. it seems like EVERYONE is making fun of me while i'm standing right there. every time im by myself in the hall or a class and i hear someone in a group of people laugh i get nervous and i just want to cry and try to make myself as invisible as possible.
i think it all started awhile ago with this little thing on facebook called honesty box (where you ask a question like "what do you really think of me?" and people can answer anonymously)and someone wrote "gross." and then we talked back and forth and basically they pretended they were my best friend (even though my actual best friend was with me while it was happening) and even though they didn't say anything actually insulting, (they would say things like "so, hows school?" and "i love you so much your too funny!") i could tell it was some girl making fun of me with one of her friends or something.
now i think that everybody thinks i'm a freak or something. i'm one of those people who TOTALLY over think things. but ive also picked up on people who are ACTUALLY talking about me while i'm right there...like pointing at me subtly and saying something to their friend or when a bunch of people all look at me (not very subtly) and then burst out laughing
the really weird thing is is that i have like two different people in me kind of...one is shy and quiet and awkward and just wants to break down crying from all the anxiety, and the other one is confident and happy and flirty. the second person comes out on the bus to and from school...thats where i get TONS of attention from everyone. there aren't really any wicked popular girls that the guys can talk to i guess, so they all joke with me and tell me im really good looking and stuff like that...and i always feel so happy. i just wish it was like that all the time.
i dont really have much of a question, this was more to get it all out there...
i guess my question is why would people make fun of me while at the same time im cool and beautiful on the bus? i just really don't understand it. and also what can i do to stop overthinking things? and how to NOT be made fun of like that? if youve got anything else feel free to say it..
and please dont hesitate to say what you really think because i need to know
thanks :)
A good way to stop "overthinking" everything is to LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
Do not worry about what people have said/will say.
Ordinarily, people will not think harsh things about you...I mean, do you think harshly of others...?
Probably not...so don't think they're doing that to you! It's just your mind getting the best of you.
Do not be afraid to shine!
What to wear to an interview at hooters? What would YOU wear?
wear a cami under a v-neck shirt! make sure it's really form-fitting! hehe
is it bad to write my college essay on how i got caught with weed?
although, it depends what point you're trying to make....I don't think you should mention it!
I REALLY want to practice my acting skills, but i don't know how. Do i just sit in my room and act or what? I don't have a script or monologue to do or anything. The only thing i do is practice an emotion in my room, but that's it and it gets BORING! What can i do by myself?
PS. I have looked all around the internet, but can't seem to find anything. Try and answer ASAP if you can thnx!
I think lip-synching to songs is very effective. This way, you can work on a lot of elements. Like timing, facial expressions and gesturing with your body. It's fun and you don't have to shout a monologue around your room b/c people will think you're crazy for talking to yourself! Especially if they don't know that you're just practicing! lol
i'm thinking about coloring my hair, just a different shade maybe. lighter, or darker? i wanted to go with light brown hair, but i'm not sure if that really compliments me.

Stay natural. you're so pretty and you don't need to adjust a thing!
so basiclly im a 16 year old girl. in an all girls highschool. and there are only about 35 girls in my grade, and like 6 or 7 of them have their little "popular clique" which i am like right on the outside of . i have known them all for a long time and i am freinds with most of them. but im not really part of their group. how do i join in? i warn you they are quite exclusive and rude.
and please dont tell me to "just be myself" because im not planning on making a bunch of ridiculous changes to fit in. i just want to join their group.
please help me!
You just said they were "rude". Why would you want to hang around with them?
should i got to a community college for my first year. or should i go to a university? my mom says that its cheaper to go to a community college first and then transfer my credits to a university after i take all the basic courses. but all my older friends that are already in college said that is way more fun to go away to a university and live on campus. im really torn between the two. any advice?? thanks :D
I agree with the other columnist. (start at community college for your first 2 years) It's much cheaper and honestly...it's as fun as you make it. The one I go to always has events taking place in the courtyard. You have just as much opportunity to be involved. Plus, when you get your diploma...it doesn't mention that you went to Community. All you see is the University's name on it! =D
17/f. i'm seventeen, and i've never really babysitted before, maybe like once when i was 15. i mean i have little brothers, but i never had to do anything, yano. & now i have to go babysit a little two year old tomorrow, and i have no idea what to do. what do you do with a two year old?
teach them cute songs with movements...
they will be amused doing anything! tell them to be a monster and chase you...
be imaginative, but simple at the same time.

I watched "Almost Lover" because I don't know the other song...
anywho, I think you have great pitch.
but if you're going to post it to YouTube...don't leave the screen blank! lol
make a slideshow or let us see you sing =D
sooo ok dont judge me because im asking this. im completely normal, i just love my boyfriend so much. weve been dating for 2 years and he suffers from schitzophrenia and he refuses to take medication because he hates the way it makes him feel. i feel so horrible 4 him because he is in so much pain and its just getting so much worse. i know he doesnt want to live anymore. yesterday he asked me to kill him and at first i didnt think he was serious but we talked for a while and he said it was the only way or he would do it himself. i dont want him to go to hell for committing suicide so i told him i would kill him so id go to hell instead. i havnt decided if im going to kill myself yet because my boyfriend says he doesnt want me to do that. but i dont know if i could deal with the fact i killed the boy im in love with. but what happens if a 16 year old kills another 16 year old who asked her to do it? jail? death penalty? psychiatric center forever? im not crazy im just putting the one i love out of his misery because i cant stand him being in pain any longer. id rather be in pain for him. just wanna know what would happen. dont try to do all that talking out of it and stuff either. wont work. thanks
Sounds intense. You seem to have a very big heart, but you need to invite your mind into the situation. Think about it: of course you are going to be dealing with some sort of punishment. There is no way to rationlize taking someone's life. This is about your future...do you want to lose everyone's trust?
I'm a female guitarist and I want to start putting videos on youtube but I have a horribly singing voice. I'm looking for someone who can sing without sounding like a dying goat, who's preferably a teenager or early adult. Where can I look to find someone like this? Or is anyone on here interested? Please let me know, I'm getting pretty desperate.
wow! that's awesome!
I have a guitar, but I'm not so good, but I love to sing! I'm 18.
here's a YouTube video of me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYoE2XCZ6co
It's musical theatre, but I like pretty much every genre. Email me if you'd like...

im not the most confident of people okay but my best friend is an she always is sayin to me god you are so boring and sometimes if im on msn the same times as sh is she will talk to me like usuall an vice versa but last night she started talkin to me but was acting really strange so i was just givin one word ansers bcause i could tell it was not her but it was her sister who all ways likes to take the piss out of everyone an she started saying to me you dont say much do you an i said no not really lol so then she said well start a convo with me then so i did but all she said was boring so i just went offline there was no pont in trying because whatever i said she would of ansered boring so i need some idears on how to be more confident an more idears on how to start convo's with her but my best friend i mean not her sister :)
you're not boring. don't let anyone convince you that you are.
you just need to express yourself better. I mean...wouldn't you think a quiet person is boring? and that would be because they aren't talking. (expressing themselves)
I don't mean talk non-stop, but come up with some interesting topics like concerts coming to the area...say what you're thinking and don't be so critical of what you're about to say.
so im a freshman at a large university in a small town 3 hours from home. i only know 1 person down here so im trying to make friends but it seems like almost everybody ALREADY has friends. i guess it's the ones who rushed, they got that instant bond or whatever. anyway. im not really shy, i'll talk to anyone anytime, but i guess i always get uneasy about approaching someone or a group because i dont want to impose on the conversation. you know those people that, when you're with your friends, it's like they just butt in and no one wants them there? yeah, that's the person i don't want to be. so a couple nights ago i met this group of guys right outside my dorm, they go out there several times a day to chill and smoke and whatever. they yelled heyy and started talkin to me on my way back in so i went and talked to them. they said i was one of the few cool/nice ppl who actually stopped to talk. a couple of them got my number and we've texted once or twice, just small talk, and another one of them stopped me outside yesterday to talk and they've called me over once more when i was with my friends. they seem pretty cool to chill with, and one is really cute and i'd love to get to know him more. he's told me we should meet up at the bar and stuff sometime [they're like 5 feet from the dorms so that's where everyone goes]. anyway, there's been a couple times where they've been sittin outside and ill walk in/out of the dorm and they dont say anything. i see them they see me and i always look at them and smile to see if they'll say anything but they dont. should i just walk over? i dont wanna be annoying or like a gnat, and it seems like everytime i see them there's more and more people, mostly guys, so idk. i guess it's just awkward. what should i do here?
If you really have an interest in getting to know them...it's up to you to take initiative. they did their fair share, so now approach them.
if they always stand in the same spot, go up to them and in a friendly way say "so, you like people watching?" they'll probably chuckle and that should get things started.
