hey,
im 15 years old, about 5'5 and weigh about 165lbs.
Ive always had a large frame, and i know I am built bigger and I always will be. But I do want to lose weight. So far Ive lost about 5lbs. in 3 weeks with weight watchers, and I want to lose 20lbs. I would really like to weigh 150lbs. by the end of July. I exercise everyday for at least an hour, I guess my problem is that I like to eat. But ive dieted before, and I know what to eat and such, it's just that it's hard being a teenage when I can't like eat anything! But I'm on a summer swim team so I will be swimming like 3-4 days a week and doing abdominal exercises and I have friends in my neighborhood to ride bikes and jog with. But any suggestions? There are times when I want to quit because I'm not making any progress..and i think about food wayyy to much, which is suprising because I'm really active and invloved with school and 4-H and alot of other things. And if you have any advice for like cravings or like any food advice of dieting please help! I really want to meet this goal so badly! thank-you! (link)

First of all, KUDOS to you for wanting to get healthy!!! That's great!
First off, the pool is great!!! You are gonna burn like 850 calories (probably more) an hour just doing that!!!
You are already active, it's just the food, right? Well I am 13, and I lost 30 pounds over the school year. It was very difficult and you CAN'T give up.
-If you want something sweet, just eat it. That way you dont go on a eating binge. Put the food in a little baggy and when you are done, you are done. Period.
-Make one day of the week your "cheat day" All the rest of the days TRY to eat healthy.
-When you are finished with a meal, but you still have more on your plate, pour something nasty on it. For example, if you still have mashed potatoes and a little bit of steak on your plate, pour ketchup on it. (Unless you really like ketchup, then put something else on it!) That way you don't eat it.
-Ask your friends to help you. Have a sleep over where you eat healthy stuff. (Instead of chips & pizza, have fruit and sushi.) If sushi isn't your game, try something else healthy. Just a substitute.
I hope this helped a little. Good luck and if you ever need support, I'M HERE FOR YA!!!
Love,
Lys

my friends are always so mean to me but the next second nice what should i do? (link)

First ask your little "friends" they are doing this to you. I say "friends" because that is NOT what they are. They are the girls you hang out with. They are the girls who will one day talk about you behind your back (if they haven't already.) I am not trying to sound harsh, but these people aren't there for you! It's time for you to dump them and find some new friends!

GIRL WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE! Not only does the fact that you are a 15-year-old help me help you, but it is the reason WHY you are acting this way! I also bet you think you are right whenever you do this, huh? Exactly. You will grow out of it. We all do. Whenever you get into an argument with someone, "act" like they are right. Don't fight back, even though you are itching to. Just listen. Look at them and listen. I can't guarantee you won't do this anymore, but now that you are aware you should cut down on the attitiude.

16/f I'm obsessed with sweets and crave them like 24/7. I've been losing weight and looking how I want to lately..and its all fine. But when I see sweets, I can't control myself and I feel as if all that hard work losing weight is going down the toilet. I eat right and I exercise...but its the sweets that drive me insane. I know a certain point when to stop.....like i'll tell myself NO dont eat that! And I'll stop. But sometimes I can't help it and I go easy on myself and allow myself to eat and eat and eat. How can I stop this? :| (link)
|
Ahhh.. sweets. A woman's best friend and worst enemy. Do what I do:
Eat your sweets in the morning- If you ARE gonna eat sweets, eat them in the morning. You are more likely to burn all the fats and calories that way.
Stop eating after 7- Seem early? Yes, yes it does! But if you make an oath you won't eat after this time, you won't be able to eat sweets as much!
Try eating healthier treats- For ice cream, get Skinny Cow ice cream, or low fat ice cream. Fruit is a good way to get rid of your sugar cravings. Anything healthier!
Keep yourself busy- This way you won't think about snacking.
Drink more water- sometimes, cravings are just our body telling us we are thirsty. Drink water and most cravings will go away.
Put your sweets in a baggy- when you eat everything in the baggy, you are done. Period.
Hope that helped! =)

theres this friend that i have. she is like a sister to me, but lately shes been acting very...messed up. for example ill tell her that im going to coney island whatever and she'll start talking about how shes got a boy friend, got new nikes, going to six flags, etc. so im like okay...cool? nd then shes like y did you tell me that? and then im like,...cuz i wanna. nd then she'll be like, well i dont care. nd then ill say whats up with you and she'll be like you shoved something in my face so im shoving sonething bak. i didnt really mean for it 4 seem like that, but yea. ill tell her that and shes like true. then she'll be like you never invite me anywhere. and of course i do, i just dont go places much, so i tell her that. shell be like ok, true, im happy 4 ya. so yes, ill be very pissed by then. i dont know, she has done so many hurtful things to her, and me? like one or two mistakes. but her "gurtful things" arent mistakes, its the way she actually is. so im very confused and mad and hurt, its just a mixture of feelings. i know i luv her very much(as a friend) but i just dont feel like her friend anymore. i dont know what im asking, but i hope you'll be able to know. i guess im asking what i should do. so yea, any advice would be highly appreciated. thankx! (link)

I have a friend exactly like that! The thing is, she is jealous of ya girl. She feels like she has to counter comment everything you say just so you pay attention to you. Jealousy is bad in a friendship. Very bad. For example, my friend got so jealous, she would call me everyday and almost force me to do EVERYTHING with her, so I wouldn't be with other friends. ANd even THEN she would say we didn't spend as much time together!!! I got sick of it. I spend less time with her, much less.
As you said, you still love your friend, so I think you should take her out somewhere and be like,"What do we need to do to make our friendship work?" She'll tell you. If everything doesn't work out like that, than you are gonna have to drop the relationship. =( Jealousy will kill you emotionally and physically if you don't stop it.

Well I have this friend who is a girl and her birthday is this Sunday. I'm planning on making something for her..but the thing is not sure what. I also want it to be very special because she became my SECOND FRIEND ever since I started highschool and she helped me break my shell so now I have a couple of more friends..Real ones this time..Also I have a crush on her so I want it to maybe possibly, maybe a tiny bit make her fall in love with me or maybe get the hint that I have a crush on her. Any suggestions what I should make or can anyone help me decide what to do? I'm planning on maybe making a birthday song/poem and put it in an envelope along with maybe a stuff animal. Or is drawing a portrait of her good? I'm not sure because I don't quite know her that much and I don't want her to feel awkward. So anyways any suggestions what I can do? (link)
|
Well I am a girl, and I would LOVE to get a poem or a song with a stuffed animal. That's a really good idea. I am gonna say stay away from the portrait of her because you might come off a bit stalkerish... I am gonna say stick with the poem and the stuffed animal. (Try finding an animal that is a little unique, but still really cute. Bears can get a bit boring. Maybe a puppy or an elephant that is pink or somethin...You get the idea. However, a bear is good, but in my opinion, a little boring! XD)
Hope she like your present =)

So my parents surprised me with a trip to Mexico in 15 days and my body is not up to par. I want to know if this will give results both on the scale and body, and like noticeable difference....
Dieting: I am not eating any bread, sugar, soda drinks. Pretty much just vegetables, fruits, tuna, salmon, boiled chicken, grilled meat, salads, eggs, cottage cheese, some other things.
My exercise routine would be every other day and it would be 30 minutes interval running and walking on the treadmill. And do muscle workouts like various types of crunches, some pilate movies, etc.
Will this give noticeable results? How powerful is running for shaping up a body? What are some workouts/diet combo's that worked for you? (link)
|
You are definetly gonna get results! Running is HUGE in shaping your body! Try this exercise on a treadmill or just plain runnning:
1.) start at a slow walk or 1 mph for two minutes.
2.) start walking at a normal pace for three minutes (aka about 4mph)
3.) start power walking (5mph) for three minutes.
4.) Run (7 or 8mph) for about one minute to two minutes.
5.) Repeat exercises 3 & 4 about six times.
6.) Cool down. (Walk like on step #1.)
Other than that, you are doing fabulous! Have fun in Mexico!!!

My best friend stopped eating, its been 16 days. What do I do, to get her to stop?! Help. (link)
| |
You DO need serious help for her!!! She can end up dying! But I am sure you know that already. First, you need to talk to her. This is the best thing to do for her. Reassure her that she is beautiful and doesn't need to do that. If she wants to lose weight, exercise and eat right together. Do whatever you can to get her to eat again. If she STILL isn't eating, it is time to tell her parents. She can go to therapy, or go to a hospital. Your friend will be a little mad at first, but you are a good friend to do that for her. Later on in life when she is healthy and happy, she will thank you.

okay im 13 years old and i have a sister who is 16. she has this boyfrined who i dont really like and i think that hes a bad influenece on her. well today she went to NY with him and his dumb self influenced her to get a tongue ring. my sister is dumb for doing it, but shes not supposed to have one. i think the ring is getting infected. i want to tell my mom about it but idont want to be a snitch or cause too much drama. please can someone help me!!! (link)
| |
I am sorry to tell you this, but you have to tell your mom. You think that your sister's tongue is becoming infected, which is so bad you have no clue. She could end up losing her tongue!!! I am sure you are aware of the phrase,"When somebody you know is in danger tell an adult..." Well your sister is. Tell. Just ask your mom not to say it was you who told. Say she found out on her own.

Okay so I'm trying to lose weight, and I weighed myself Sunday when I started and weighed 120. To start the diet I drank lost of water and worked out, then today (Wednesday), I weighed myself at 130!
So whats wrong with me?!?
How could I gain 10 lbs. In a day only drinking water and working out?
Is it water weight?
Do you have any good ab excersizes?
Thanks :)
14/f (link)
|
You are about my age and about my weight... I am 117 lbs. How tall are you? Because I think 120 lbs. is a really good weight to be at...
BY the way, it is impossible for you to have gained 10 punds. Did you weigh yourself at the same time the next day? Yoiu weigh more at night, so weigh yourself early in the morning. Also, did you weigh yourself right after you ate? You gain weight that way too. What about clothes? There are a lot of factors.
The water could have did it too. Give your body a couple of days to adjust to the water. Oh, also, muscle weighs more than fat so the exercise is just building muscle. (lol by the way, I am 5'3. You are a normal weight. Very normal in fact.) XD

ok,
so i usedd to have a really clear face,
and lately ive like broke out
idk if it is really bad or if it is all in my head,
but it drives me crazy.
i feel so ugly as if everyone is looking at me thinking i look like some monster, ive bascally tried everything, and it doesnt help much that i am surroundedd my girls with flawless faces,
most best friend tells me that it doesnt even look that bad, but i still feel so horrible.
any advice on to feel better about it,
or help it go away?
that would be great thanks.

First of all, it probably isn't that bad, but we all think our acne is horrible, right? Let's see:
1. Don't pick at it or even touch your face- Picking can cause holes in your face and you will be known as 'Crater Face' DOn't go there. Touching your face brings more oils and bacteria to your skin. This causes more acne.
2. CHILLAX! If the creams aren't working, it could simply be stress. Maybe it's the stress from the acne?
3. If your hair is in your face even a little, pull it back. Hair also causes your face to become greasy which causes pimples.
4. Use a concealer that matches your skin color--just not too much, it will just make it more noticeable!
***Hope your skin gets better!!!***

can u name a good myspace display name? (link)
|
A good myspace name... hmmmm...
take something or someone you love and put it in the ____Lover101 For example, I used to love a guy named Quinn, so my display name was QuinnsLover101. Also, when you play with words it is good too. For example, you have heard of the guy Criss Angel Mind Freak? Well my other display name was Criss Angel Mind Fuck. I don't know you, so I am not sure what would be good for you. Jope I helped a little...

I have problems holding conversations with people. I will be talking with someone and they ask me what I want to talk about and nothing pops into my mind..... im scared Im a dull person to talk to. How do people just come up with things to talk about? Im also very shy when Im talking to people face to face like I have problems looking at people in their eyes as well, any suggestions would be greatly apriciated! Thanks ahead of time! (link)
|
Well, first I want to help you with the eye contact.. Instead of looking at their yes, look at their fore heads or their nose. It will look like you are looking right into their eyes! Some conversation starters:
-The weather is nice today...
-Ask somebody about something that happened to them in the past that they told you. (If they talked about their cousin's B-Day party, ask how it went.)
-Ask the person if they think you are a dull person to talk to (you will find out the truth & will have something to talk about.
-COme up with a new word and use it in your everyday vocabulary. People will ask you what it means!!!
I hope those helped, it os some of the things I do when I am at a loss for words!

Last November I did some really stupid stuff and ended up becoming more than friends with another girl. And even though I'm married, she & I dated and later on started having sex. My wife found out a few months ago and gave me some time to make up my mind about who I want in my life. (She was only so forgiving because she didn't want to freak out our kids & all, you know.) And I've decided. But I feel so dirty. I don't know how to go back to the love of my life after making such an idiot of myself. How can I even pretend I deserve her. Will counseling help me feel "clean" again? I want to just tear off my skin. (link)
|
First off, you won't feel better by tommorrow. You are very lucky to have a wife like yours. People make mistakes. You can change as a person! Therapy can help, in fact, I recommend it!
The best advice I have for you is to throw yourself into your family. Spend time with your wife. Regain your trust with her. Spend time with you kids also. I can't promise life will be exactly the same, but things can become better. MUCH better. XD
Be hard on yourslef but not TOO hard. You are as human. Hope I helped.

i like a girl since 3 months but i could not talk to her i feel depress and i like her want say i love u to her but i m feared that if she rejects me then....i want to impress her.what should i do??? (link)
| |
First of all, I wish a guy felt like that for me!!! How sweet!! Now, XD on to business. I know this is hard, but talk to her. Smile when you mak eye contact with her. MAKE eye contact with her!!! Let her see your sweet self. ;) She is very lucky to have you. Oh, by the way, if she rejects you... her loss.
|
I'm so upset right now! There's this one teacher who's never trusted me although I've never done anything to deserve it. As soon as something goes wrong, or something is missing - she accuses me, and I promise.. I'm NEVER the one to blame. Last week I returned my book, and today she called me to say "It is very important that you return your book, you are the only one who hasn't returned it and it is a very expensive book. Keep in mind you promised to return it at the beginning of the year" I know its not a big deal but I'm crying my eyes out! I don't feel like I deserve all this suspicion I'm getting from her. I don't like to think its a racial issue, but I am the only non-blonde in my class. What should I do about this? I do not want to take it up with the principal, I respect her as a person and wouldn't want to get her in trouble.
(link)
|
First of all, I am so happy you care about school and you respect your teacher. The problem is, the way she is treating you is wrong. The first thing you need to do is ask other people if they feel like she is just discriminating against you. Or maybe she is just mean and does it seem like just you? If people agree she treats you unfairly, then talk to her. Explain calmly that you didn't do whatever it is she said you did. If she discriminates against you again, then ask her what her problem with you is. Maybe there is something else... Hmmm... I went through the same thing this year with one of my teachers. You'll get through this. :)
Oh, by the way, don't let her get to you!! She is just a meanie!! XD
