im 10 pounds overweight. what foods, specifically, add lots of pounds that i should give up?
Hmmm.
Alot of foods put on the pounds.
Foods you should deffinely watch are sugars, carbohydrates and fat.
Your suppost to have about 300 carbohydrates daily in your diet, and thats hard to do.
Try things low in carbs like peanut butter, meats, poultry, greens etc.
Sugar is unbearable, it seems as if its in everything.
Try sugar free things , like whole grains and less sweets or juice drinks and soda, thats loaded.
but still eat fruit becuase its good for your vitamins and minerals and that is good sugar.
And last but not least fat.
My biggest ease.
Your suppost to have 65 grams of fat a day.
I find it very very easy to keep within this limit.
Try eating fat free things or low fat things.
Like try skim milk, that helps alot.
Also chicken, thats an excellent source of protein and low fat and no carbs.
Every fruit and most vegatables are fat free too, so eat plenty of those.
And if you like snacks, low fat low sugar yogurt and pretzels is good, also rice cakes and even wheat thins are good, just watch the salt!
Good luck!

ok at night i have a very hard time going to sleep. i cant go to sleep anytime before 3:00 and i hate that because then i wake up late ( 1:00 - 2:30 ) and i feel like i wasted my day. at night i try going to sleep around 12:30 but i cant fall asleep so i either watch tv or go on the computer. now that school is starting i want to go to bed early (10:00 - 11:00 ) so i can wake up in the morning. what can i do to help me fall asleep at night?
Ahh!
I have the same exact problem.
Ill lay there and toss and turn all night.
The best way to be able to fall asleep might be to do something tiring, if you get yourself tired in the middle of the day , then maybe you'll be dying to go to bed by night.
What I do , and this might not the best way to do things , is I either stay up all night and the next night , im tired and it would be easier for me to go to sleep, that usually also continues to make you get tired at night , since your not completly caught up with your sleep.
Honestly, when you hear " read before you go to sleep" or " count sheep" , it probably doesnt work. I have 2 other suggestions.
I sometimes take a tylenol pm, usually thats deffinetly not the best way unless you have pain lol but it works. Another way , is to not think.
Think about random things randomly happening that lets your mind drift off , and you should be able to get atleast 5 cycles of 90 minute sleep cycles including REM [rapid eye movement]
Hope I was a help!

I'm 5'1 1/2 and I think 88-90 pounds..
See? That's how skinny I am. I've gone on these weight things on the computer and they all say I am underweight. All of my friends are about 100 and the same height as me and look normal weight.
Does anyone know of a good way to gain weight but still be able to exercise a little bit? I would prefer it to be a healthy way but either way would be fine. Also, how many more pounds do all of you think I should gain?
I know some people with your siuation.
I think you should gain about 20 pounds.
Which is kind of alot to gain, but to be healthy you might want it.
A good way to gain weight, is to build muscle.
Some good foods you should eat are protein filled foods with larger fat amounts.Such as meat.
Meat is a good source of protein.
Also, if you work out or go to the gym sometimes then you will build muscle which would make you gain some weight.
Also eating more too, eating alot will deffiently be able to put on some pounds.
Good luck!

i've been goin out with my gf for about 6 months but latly she barly ever talks to me unless i talk to her first ad she never comes to be with me and i always end up haveing to go look for her how can i tell her in a nice way to be a better gf
Hmm, most girls like that.
They kind of like it when the guy makes the first move but they just dont show it.
A way you might want you approach it , if you are with her, tell HER to call you later.
Try that and tell me how it works.
good luck!

Okay so i have a best friend and like we did everything together! and then on the 1st day of school she totally ignored me and hung out with the popular people! and like the day b4 school we hung out and everything was fine and then its been 4 days and shes like said 2 words to me! and then i talked to her and she was saying "you've been ignoring me!" and i havent i've been trying to talk to her but i think shes doing this cause i've been hanging out with other people and i;ve made another best friend so shes trying to make me jelous so i dont know what to do. and shes the kinda girl if u ask her whats wrong she will just blame everything on you. should i just not be friends with her or what? ohh and shes been totally making fun of some of my other friends and thats not cool!! and shes been acting like someone shes not and its making me madd! i think shes doin it to be "popular" ahh. thanks for the help tho!
Well, I have had a sitaution like this before.
Only it was slightly different.
What I think you should do is dont talk to her for a while and continue with your other friends, then when the time comes for you to talk to her, then talk to her.
If shes rude to you and your friends just to become popular , then it shows how she isnt really being a good friend.
So ,if you make a friend that is friends with you for who you are, not what you are , then your in alot better of a sitaution.
Good luck!

hi i know this is gonna sound like super gross but i get really bad dandruff and i cant wash my hair everyday cause i have hairloss (not like severe) so can you give me some suggestions? and also, if you discharge, does that mean youre excited, or aroused?
Well, It depends on what you put in your hair.
If you wash your hair with essential vitamins , that might help.
Try using lemon juice or lavender and that will usually make your hair less dry and more shiny.
And discharge is completly natural , and it doesnt neccassarily mean you are aroused, it happens to most girls and it provides as a cleanser so its healthy.
Hope i was a help!

Back when I was a senior in highschool I was really unpopular and I had a crush on one of the most popular guys. He knew I liked him but because of his popularity he never asked me out (but I suspect he DID like me). This is because I caught him checking me out at the prom when I was all dressed up and he used to sneak looks at me in our english class. At the time he was dating a very popular girl in the class. Well I just had my ten year highschool reunion and hadnt seen him since higschool. He is married now. Although he never talked to me I kept catching him staring at me. Do you think he may still like me?
Hey,hes married oviously.And just because he checking you doesnt mean he likes you.
take my word for it

Ok, so this summer I have gotten into shape, and really toned down, especially my legs. Last year I wore like a size 6-8, and now, since school's about to start, I'm trying on some of my old jeans (I haven't worn them since school got out since it's so hot), and they DO NOT FIT. They're hanging on me. I need a belt to keep them up, and still it makes me look like I have absolutely NO butt. All I have to wear to school now is a couple pairs of shorts and a couple skirts. I have no long jeans that fit me anymore!! What should I do, my mom won't buy me jeans til fall so that they fit me when it's time to wear them--but I need them NOW! What should I do, wait it out? Or should I raise some money myself? thankyou
Hey,id raise the money your self.
If your mom isnt gunna buy you jeans until fall.

Alright, well the school year is coming up soon, and I really want to be extra social this year. I don't mean like popular, I don't care about that, but last year I hung out with friends, but most of my weekends were spent at home, and this year I want to hang out with more people and be at home less. I especially want more guy friends. I have like, two. And I see all these girls with all these guys friends and I always wonder how they became friends with them. Help?
ok, all you have to do is start conversations.
guys like it when you are wild and outgoing.
you need to care less about what they think and just be yourself. and start going up to guys and making conversation.
Hope i helped.

Boys always go out with me and end up dumping me after i get attatched. They tell my friends the only reason they go out with me is because they think i am hott and easy.What can i do to change that?
i know how you feel.
because a lot of my friends go through that.
boys go out with girls for all the wrong reasons.
what you can do to change it is when guys try to make moves on you pull away and be hard to get so they dont think your so easy.
and when you find a guy that can except that you can eventually start to open up more.

i went to a back to school party and i saw my gf for the first time in a month cuz she was at camp and stuff and i could barly talk to her it just felt akward being with her again doees that mean i dont like her anymore or is it something else
ok, i know how you feel.
becuase i went to camp for a month and it felt a little weird when i got back and saw my friends.
you just have to get used to seeing her again.
i dont think its that you dont like her i just think its been a while and you need to catch up and hang out a little more.
so before you make any desions on breaking up or anything give it more time and see how things go.

when you kiss where do you put yours hands ive heard hip, hands, below the ear, where it fees comfortable
ok, it depends on the setting of where you are and how you two are feeling.
if it is an akward time you might just wanna stick with putting your hands on the persons hips.
but if you 2 really get into it you can put them wherever you feel comfterable and let it come natural.

alrite so i want as many opinions on this one as possible.
soo a couple nites ago i met this boy not exactly met like i sorta talked to him and stuff but it was the first time we hungout, we deff. hit it off and hooked up.
now i cant stop thinking about him we talk alott now he told my friend he would date me he likes me i like him. it all seems just right until you add one person into the picture,
my brother. hes friends with this boy like good friends and i know that they would have a dif. friendship if me and this boy dated. im totally confused about what we should do about it. because i dont want him to loose my brother as a bestfriend just because of me. but i like him soo much like hes amazingly cute nicee and into everything im into.
help please
thanks in advance.
Well, I think I know what your talking about.
It seems to me as that is a night fling.
It might not be as perfect as you think it is,
you have to get to know him well enough to trust him then you can decide if you wanna have a relationship or just a thing in the past.
So get to know him and get back to us with the update!

okay i really need helo-
one of my best friends is going out with some kid who she likes a lot but a few months ago he cheated on her idkk if i should tell her or not && if so how.?
Well it depends on how she is.
If shes a type of person who would be mad and over dramtic then let her find out on her own.
If you know it would hurt her, then you should tell her.
Also, it depends on their relationship,if they have a strong one, then keep it on the dl.
But if its not going to well, you should make her aware.
Hope Ive helped!

im relaly skinny... how do i gain atleast 15 pounds?
Well , You dont wanna gain it in fat, So the best way to do it is gain it back in muscle.
Try exercise and eating things higher in protein and fat, but not like cookie fat or candy fat .
Try fat thats in meats or special proteins.
Also try eating more meals a day , it will help boost your metabolism . Good luck!

i was wondering if there was a curlng shampoo, i have super straight hair & it bothers me. how much is the shampoo? thanx.
Okay , well like you enharit your moms eye color, you enharit her hair.
So , what you might wanna do is try scrunching it.
I have really straight hair too, and I do is use a scrunching product such as Aussie SPRUNCING in a purple bottle.
Also,try gel and mousse and finish it with hairspray.
Hope I helped!
