15/f.
i'm 165lbs, 5'4.
i want to loose 20lbs for my new years resolution. i'm not entirily sure on how i can do this though. i like to eat, a lot. and i always intend(sp) to overeat, evenw hen i try not too. i've tried different types of diets, but they havn't exactly worked out for me. i need some different excersises also. do u know anything that can kill cravings so i won't want food? i heard that the pills are dangerious, so i don't really want to get into those.

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Yes, pills are terrible for you. Some do work at first for maybe the first few you take but then they stop and your body just crashes. 20 Pounds is a good goal for a year so don't worry, it can be done.

First off- 70% of any plan of losing weight is your diet. So eat foods which are generally low in fat, carbs, and calories. When eating, remember the serving size; go ahead and eat some sweets but if the box says 200 calories PER SERVING remember the serving and don't go over it. However, try and steer clear of fried foods and any type of fast food. If you want eggs try and boil them it's EXTREMELY good for you and far less calories then fried. If you want a hamburger, go to your local safeway and go to the frozen food section. Buy some Boca burgers, they are delish. and come in vegiterian and meat and have half less calories. Vegitables are great and boil them! Fruit is also. And here is a huge thing, try to limit your soda to almost none. Lets say you have about 1 average cup of coke, thats like 100+ calories and usually people drink more than that. When dieting- eating your calories is better than drinking them. Anything that is high in protein will help you burn fat and build muscle.


If you want to burn calories, start your workout with cardio. Maybe like 20-45 minutes a day or every other day. Then do muscle work so different styles of crunches, pushups, squats, leg lifts (for inner outter thighs and buns) and arm sculping exersizes. I cannot describe each but there are tons of sites which can.


You learn to stop handel your cravings. By eating smaller meals throughout the day you can; Eatting about 5-6 small meals with meat(grilled or like salmon/tuna from the can) and veggies.

Let me get straight to the problem.
My boyfriend is a really bad kisser.
He's only had 2 other girlfriends before me
and i dont know if he made out with
either one of them, but when we're kissing
he acts like i dont know i cant even describe it
but he definitely doesnt know what hes doing.
I dont't like kissing any more because its THAT bad. What should i do? I really need your help!

First off don't really tell him he is a bad kisser just tell him that he could you some practice. And you could teach him, it's not a huge issue. Teach him and let yourself be the dummie. Trust me, it'll help and you and he will enjoy it.

13/f
my little brother is serously adroable
hes 5 and hes into football and stuff
but he dosent like me. he loves my brother tho!! wat can i do to make him not hate me? like little stuff like playing with him. and what sgouldent i do??

Its a really normal thing when little brothers don't like their older sisters and prefer brothers. They look up to them more and want to be like them. They think girls are grows or have kooties haha. All you can do is try to join in on the fun, if they play some games ask to play with. And make sure your brother doesn't encorage his disliking towards so. So talk to the older brother and ask him to be like nice to you if he is not and to let you join in on things (for the little brothers sake).


Just remember that he is still really young and in this stage. When he is older he will for sure get out of this. Don't worry.

okay, i downloaded bearshare to get a few songs. it says that its legal, so i'm gonna stick with their theory.
i downloaded a few songs that i like, and i want to get them onto cd and put them unto my itunes. but it won't let me burn the cd and keeps signing me out.
i don't even know if i'm doing the whole thing right.

if you have bearshare, can u help me out?

I've never heard of bearshare but if you downloaded it to your computer, find the file that all the music is put into like My Music or some other thing. Then first put it into your iTunes and from there put it onto a CD.

can anyone give me information on mystic tanning? how do they do it? how much does it cost? can you get tanned naked or does like someone spray you? does it make you orange??
does it wash off? how long does it last?
im in fla if that helps :) i know i can just go in the sun but i hate tanlines.

how do they do it? There are several ways it can be done. You are either put in a sort of changing room type of thing with and you stand with your legs apart so they line up with your sholders. you close your eyes and mouth and spread your fingers. Then they spray comes out from a few jets in the front and sometimes in the back. Usually when it stops you get out but be careful and wait for it to set.

how much does it cost? Sometimes people buy packages so you don't pay per time you pre-pay so you pay x amount of dollars for x amount of tans. you can also pay per use and it really depends on what method you use, spray tan by machine, by person, or the tanning bed (which is just like a uv light which gets you tan). Usually for per-use tans you pay about $30.

Can you get tanned naked? If you're going into the booth people usually go naked. Whatever you wear when you get spray tanned will get stained so if you wear a bikini and don't want it stained just go nude. If someone is spraying you then you may feel more comfurtable in bikini.

Does it make you orange? I'd say yes. It depends on your skin shade and the hue of spray they use for you but usually you come out looking orange.

Does it wash off? You aren't suppose to take a shower of about 24 hours after, I think, so I'd say it could if you washed like later that night so just take a shower in the morning of.

How long does it last? If you do spray, then it lasts about a week-10 days. It won't completley fade away but thats why you're suppose to do it every week.

is there a program that can send information from my computer to my dads computer? like if i intsall a web cam is there a program that he can tell i intalled it? or can let im using one? i think he said something about that but someone told me they dont have any programs like that.

There are programs which can view your activity and very simply. There is also ways from another computer to literaly become yours just by having your IP adress. So if you did install a webcam he might be able to find out. Good luck.

ive had 2 periods in one month, about 17 days apart. i NEVER EVER EVER get them that soon. im regular between 28 and 33 days. ok so is this pregnancy, stress, or something else??

thanks to all who can help!

Theres nothing wrong, some peoples cycles just start early or late. Some are really regular and others are iregular. It's not pregnancy because you would have to have your period stop and it's not stress.

Hi. I'm looking for an entertainment center. Nothing fancy. Any ideas? Heres what I have and need room for...

*17 inch flat panel tv
*a billion dvds
*stereo
*2 stero speakers

Thanks.

They have a lot of little stand type things at places like Best Buy, Frys, and Circut City. They come in clear ones sort of like glass which I think go with almost anything if its for a casual room. If you're looking for something more fancy try pbteen.com or just poterybarn.com.

If you want something real cheap then I saw a few things at Target when I was there but that stuff breaks easily I'm sure.

Are there any newer versions of AIM + ? Right now I am using this one :

http://www.download.com/AIM-/3000-2150_4-10148426.html?tag=lst-0-4

but its not working for my computer. It keeps saying "Failed trying to clone AIM (modifying mutex)"

Then it shows something syaing "The instruction at "0x77f52004" referenced memory at "0x000f01b8". The memory could not be "written". Click OK to terminate the program.

This has been going on for awhile. Ive redownloaded AIM + several times.

Im using AIM 5.9 the old one. I seem to like that one better then 6.0.

So are there any newer versions of AIM+ I uses ? Thanks in advance. Sites would be appreciated

In my honest opinion, AIM 6.0 and Triton are terrible and crappy. They are kind of difficult to use and I don't get as many font options as I had before. I reccomend that you stick the old because i have so far tried each kind and 5.9 is the best.

To make this as short as possible...
My best friend has been depressed for almost 2 years now, mostly minor depression. Lately she's been getting more and more depressed. She has been talking to me about it and she has mentioned, more than once mind you, about commiting suicide. I love her and I tell her all the time...I don't want her to kill herself, soo many people would be sad. She seems to think that everybody hates her and all that...she used to cut ALOT but I managed to get her to stop but that took so much effort that I started getting depressed. I'm fine now but she isn't. She needs help but she refuses to get any. How do I attempt to fix this? I love her so much, like how is it that a 16 year old girl wants to commit suicide. She's in soo many clubs and what-not, she does soo much volunteer work, she's the best person ever. I know one of her best friends just died but I don't think that would cause all of this, being that it started like almost 2 years ago. Anyways, she and I could use all your help. =]♥

For starters- your friend sounds like a great person but I think the fact that she helps tons of people and is in sooo many clubs can worsen the depression. Do people say 'thank you' to her when she helps them with volunteer work? Does she do the clubs for more friends or to get away from them? Are other friends in the clubs? Do people help her in simple times like when she needs to fix her shoe or whatever? Basically, is she underappreciated? If so then I would try to get her to hang out with you and all your other friends. Do something fun and literally, make it so whatever you do everyone is trying to be with her.


There is nothing you can really do that I'm sure you haven't done. You've said the 'they'll miss you's, they love you, they need you, don't do this' speeches and it all seems to not work. If this depression is serious why not try to find her someone who has been through this and would understand her. If you can't then hers something that I know first hand....
If she cuts, don't tell her it's wrong because in some cases it isn't. If your body is in complete and utter pain like from a burn or a broken bone some people cut to release blood which makes you feel better. However, in the case of unhappiness it's not right to do but instead of saying that it is wrong ask her why she is doing it try and get in her brain and make it stop without making her feel bad.
When she says she wants to kill herself do not tell her NO DON'T! ask her why? Ask her why she thinks these reasons are true if it has to do with like people hating her. Then tell her why they are not. Any not by saying 'oh they love you' but by giving examples.


hope i helped

Have you ever had a sudden urge to do something? Why do we get them?
Like a couple days ago, I had the sudden urge to kiss my best friend (im f/he's m). Another time I wanted to jump out my window. Talk about random!
Help, I keep getting them...is there something wrong with me?

i doubt that there is anything clinically wrong with you, maybe you get mood swings.

the urge to kiss your friend can be because you were really happy that you had to do something to show your happiness. or maybe he said or did something to you.


the urge to jump out the window could be because you were angry or frustrated and it could have been subliminal anger and frustration or some you had to deal with.

you get urges like these to express your feelings and it usually comes out because you are botteled up good or bad. try to be relaxed more daily and show your feelings, hug your friends and yell if you must. (not too often though).

I'm not sure but I've been told I have OCD.
I know some things I do seem a bit odd but w/e. I'll give some examples so you can tell me what you think...
- My food cannot touch
- When I'm sitting down, people cannot touch my chair or table
- When I do my hair, it has to be perfect or I redo it
- My spelling has to be correct (caps)
- When I speak french, it has to be with a certain accent even though I'm not from the area where that accent is normal (compicated one)
- etc...
What do you think? What should I do about these things?

You can have a mild case of ocd but i'm not quite sure. do you feel like you MUST follow your rules until they are perfect. do you feel that if you do not follow these rules you have to perform some sort of ritual for instance washing your hands or turning off the lights or counting to ten. do you feel weird and uncomfurtable if you think you have to do one of your things? then you do.


if none of this happens and you just like doing these things it doesn't mean you have ocd it just means you like things done a certain way.

I'm 16/f and My height is 5'3 and i'm 160.. that's a problem. What can I do to lose weight. Special plans that work. ect. Thanks

First off, don't make large goals for youself. Instad of thinking about how much you need to loose think about how much you can loose per week. Because you are heavy set loosing weight at first, if on the right plan, will come off faster however, it'll be hard after that so stay determined and head set for your goals.


A really good plan is the South Beach Diet. I know girls who were on it that lost tons of weight and it does work. It's difficult to follow and I'm not sure of the entire meal do's and don'ts but they sell the book at stores and have a website. There are two faises in the plan, the first is very strict and the second is easier.

Other plans which I think are good is Weight Watchers. It sounds weird, like only old women should use it but its amazing and really works. They have several different plans which I am not exact on aswell but they all work. They too have a website you should check out.

I don't recomend Atkins or any low carb diets.



Once you are off a diet plan or have lost your intended weight you still have to watch what you eat because it can all come back.

How can you tell a real louie vuitton purse?

The girl he responded first should be totally shunned out of Louis Vuitton shopping world. The bags can be real if they say made in France, Italy, Germany, or USA!!!!!!!!!!!! For the past 20 years none have been made in France.






It depends on how good the fake is.

I'm pretty much an expert at this I did this whole summer internship here it goes...


common thing you see venders do or people who sell the fakes for real on ebay- there is no multicolor backpacks in papillion or ellipse. There was no Cherry Blossoms in Alma or Cabas tote.


The main things you look for on a Louis Vuitton to check if it's real is.... it is supposed to be lined, it should have feet, does it have a d-ring, does it have a data code? The lining is usually in a brown cotton. there has never been a brown suede lining, ever. althought some bags seem to have the suede lining it isn't. So basically if it doesn't have a brown cotton canvas lining it's fake.


The momogram sign or the 'LVs and Circle pendants, ect' can also give away it's authenticity. The LV monogram is usually (except with some vintage pieces) are symetrical from side to side in all the monogram styles.


Another thing to catch is the stitching. The stitches all are about the same length. And very regular. In some bags stitching is very easy to tell a fake: for example in the Speedy bag, there is always 5 stitches across the top of the leather tap which the handles attatch to.


The vintage LV pieces are tricky. Not all have the current give aways. Like in some of their French Company Speedy bags, there is not always 5 stitches across the top and the LV does not have to be upside down.



The upside down LV does not mean the handbag is fake. In some Speedy styles there is one side which has upside down LV sign because it is simply one piece of leather wrapped around the entire bag.

The patches of leather on the outside or inside of the older vintage Louis' can sometimes be fake or real. Usually they are real however in some occasions the vintage bags to have them and are usually circular with MLR on them. Some current bags also have patches in square cloth.


The fonts on the logo's or MADE in signs are very specific. Usually fakes have cheap fonts but realys have verrry round O's.


Louis Vuitton does not do discounts or sales of anykind at their stores. They do not have irregulars, no outlet stores, or wholesale. Louis Vuitton tags are never attached to the bag. Some desginers have their tags attatched but Louis Vuittons are usually tucked into a pocket. The Tag or card itself IS NEVER YELLOW! All the time the fake tags are made yellow. If it has a yellow one it's fake.


LV has never used brown/bronzed envelopes with a sticker on them with the purchase. If you have one- fake!



You should always the know the data code of your bag and where it is. The CURRENT data code is two letters followed by 4 numbers. Usually found in the pocket.


Notice what it is packed in, if it is in a box make sure the inner color of the box is the same as the outer. If it comes in a bag: the older ones- make sure it is a Cotton flanner in a brown chestnut tone. The LV label on the bag is tiny and dark brown. The newer ones come in thick bad, about the same tone however Louis Vuitton is written across the front and centered.





When you buy your bag, buy it from a LV boutique or eLuxury.com It comes with tags, the real ones. However, the fakers are now doing a better job at duplicating the tags than the bags.

weird question..whats too high to wear your pants, like anywhere past your bellybutton?



no i don't wear them that high =P

The wearing usually depends on how high or low your waist is.

Women with high waists usually wear jeans around their bellybutton or a few centimeter below.

Women with a low waist can wear them all to their butt crack. See it really just depends.


However, some pants are made to be worn higher or lower than your waist (IE: mom jeans or hipsters.)

i need tips on how to give awesome hj and bj and any ideas on how to deal with the taste of ejaculation/pre cum.

One way to rid the taste, is obviously, wearing a condom. They come in flavors so it can make the experience more enjoyable for you and him.


If you and he both don't want to wear a condoms then here is a good tip to keep your mind off the taste. Before performing an oral act eat something hot with a strong taste like coffee. Then get a strong mint like Altoids, wait untils it's kind of dissolved and then chew it. It should create a pretty strong taste to cover the taste of cum..


Or just perform a blow job and then before he ejaculates switch to a hand job. That way it still gives him pleasure without giving you a bad taste.

Hey again, i'm looking for some advice about how to do my hair. I'm a guy but I'm going to a dance next month as a gurl (cuz I hate bein a guy). My hair is straight, brown, and not very long. Basically it looks like a guy and I hate it. Thanks for your advice. 16/m

I think I'M catching your drift... you want to make your hair look girly?


Well if the 'bang' area of your hair is semi long try doing that Gwen Stefani bump thing. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0Je5merJotFiEkBD7KjzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTA4NDgyNWN0BHNlYwNwcm9m/SIG=128o7qcjk/EXP=1166833707/**http%3a//www.hollywoodrag.com/images/uploads/xtina.jpg

try getting some girly clips like of a bow and clip it somewhere in your hair.

What are some good stocking stuffers for a 17 year old guy besides candy (I've got plenty)?

Condoms??? haha I'm kidding. However, I once gave a guy a playboy issue (he was gay so it made for a good joke) but if the guy is into workig out or playing sports then maybe a sweatband. If he is into music then give him a gift card for like virgin records or whatever. Those are the top two things I get for stockings.
