How can I lose some weight? Are there any workouts and diets that will help?

Losing weight takes time and effort and requires the proper balance of Excercise and Nutrition. For Nutrition, you should eat light, such as fruit, vegetables, crackers, fish, tofu, and deli (white) meats. Stay away from too much dairy or red meat though! And as far as exercise goes, try to find a personal work out plan that suits your body, depending on what muscles you want to tone up. For example: Obviously if you want to tone your abs, do situps every day. Below are some websites on nutrition and exercise.

How can I decorate My Room? The Walls are white and I'm not allowed to paint them. What can I do to make it more interesting?

First, to cover up those bare walls, you might want to put up posters and pictures of things you like such as bands, artists, actors, that kind of thing. You might even consider getting a bulletin board to make a collage of photos, postcards, notes, etc.

Second, you can buy a different bedspread and sheets. Theres alot of them at Walmart, Kmart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Hot Topic. At Hot Topic, they have really cute bedspreads and if you wait a while, they go on sale.

Third, you can make a theme for your room such as:
-tropical/beach
-a color theme
-heart shaped stuff
-Animals
-Shapes and Designs
-Stars/Moon -they even have glow in the dark stars that you can hang on your ceiling like I have on mine.

I sugguest reading American Girl and/or Seventeen Magazine because they always have great decorating tips.Also Heres Some great websites that might be able to help you:

I feel really left out of everyhting lately. I feel like noone likes me. Any advice?

~Lonely Girl~

yeah, i know how you feel. I've been through that. Chances are, there are people who like you. Maybe your just not noticing them. Just be open to new friends, and things will eventually get better.

Theres these popular girls at my school (who dress really gross), and they have been really nice to me lately. I really want to be friends with them and fit in with their little crowd thingy. But then when I act like them, i realize how stupid they are and how stupid I would be if I was like that.But I really want people to like me? What should I do?

Don't EVER feel like you have to be a certain way or fit in with a certain crowd for people to like you! Ever since I found that out, I've been going my own seperate way from everyone else. I refuse to believe I have to change for Anyone. Just be yourself, be what you want to be. That way, you will find out who your true friends are. You can still be friendly with these girls, but don't let yourself do anything you really don't want to do. Trust me on this one.

In the words of Audioslave:

Be yourself is all that you can do.

Much love,

do you think my ex-boyfriend will get a little jealuse if I am in a band full of guys?

Who cares if he is jealous or not? he Is your ex...so it doesn't really matter. If hes jealous, well thats just great because hes seeing what he is missing out on. But anyways I think its completely cool that you're going to be in a band with guys.

[view]

I need to hear this from a guy....OOOK r you guys attracted to girls with curves?? Cuz i hav curves and im 13 and being a girl i hav crushes and i want atleast 1 of them to like me bak...so if u could tell me if guys like curves in a girl that would really help....i rate high! bii!

You know it is really shallow for a guy to like a girl for their looks. A guy should really like a girl for who they are, not how they look. And of course, just because one guy says he likes curves, you can't assume that all guys like them. Everyone has a different opinion. You don't have to be curvy for a boy to like you back. Just be yourself. And if thats not good enough for them, they don't desserve you.

I had this horrible dream and cant get it out of my head. To make a long story short my 2 month old baby and I ended up in a truck stop when a nut came in with a big knife. He just started killing people left and right and when he came to me I said "please dont hurt the baby" he laughed at me and cut my throught. As Layed on the floor bleeding he cut the babys throught and the baby was crying and he laughed and said to the baby "ahh, are you crying, want me to get your bottle?"
It was so dramatic Ive been crying about it all day. I woke up with red marks all over my neck from grabbing my throught while I was dreaming.

I am quite the expert on dreams. And I can tell that you care alot about your daughter. Your dream simply meant that you are very protective of her. You may be worried about how she is going to grow up, maybe you are trying to protect her from something, or from knowing something. Perhaps it is something in your past. The killer in your dream represents either past or future. It's NOT that your baby is going to get killed. Thats not what it is at all! It just means theres something you don't want your daughter to know, or something you don't want her to become. You're just worried about her growing up and stuff.

It may sound kind of strange, but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

okay well in the past week my forehead and cheeks started breaking out (that area is like really oily and ive been washing my face like 2-3 times a day!!)... i usually never get pimples or zitz or anythin like that.. except for one everyonce in a while... well i was wondering what works best?! i dont have anymoney to go spend on proactive or whatever... but i have these facewash things and i was wondering which ones work the best? (any at home remedys would be great too!!) if your not sure what it is, i put a link next to it so you could figure out what the box looks like or whatever...

-pHisoderm 4 way facial wash::

i hope this helps you out!! but pleasee help! thanks so much.. if you want to be rated--ask!!

I would definitely try clearasil. I use clearasil all the time and it really works on me. I sugguest washing your face with it at least twice a day. It might also be good to get the claerasil cream because i use it overnight and in the morning, i really get results. I would NOT reccomend stridex because when I used them, I got a rash on my face.

Hope I helped. rate me if you have the time.

Ok, I'm 13 (14 next week), 5'1", and 161 pounds. I'm very overweight. Embarrasing, but it's the truth. I need to lose weight. I really want to lose like 50 pounds by Christmas possibly sooner. My mom was going to order the Nutrisystem foods for me but it has been delayed(probably cancelled) cuz we just can't afford spening 300 dollars on something like that right now. Is there anything else out there that can help me?! I don't want diet pills or ebooks but maybe some type of prepackaged food meals that maybe are a little cheaper. Or like a diet plan just for me that doesn't cost much!!!

Hey, I know how you feel. My advice is to drink lots of water, and eat light, such as vegetables, fruits, crackers, deli meat, and fish. Stay away from dairy and red meats.Here are some websites that might help.

I also sugguest reading Seventeen Magazine, they give great work outs. Make sure you work out every day. Try situps, and maybe jogging. I'm sorry if I'm overwhelming you with all this information.

Good Luck!

i dont feel comfortable telling my mom i got my period...how do I tell her? what do i say so i dont feel so embarassed?

Don't be embaressed. She's your mom. She went through all of it too. She was your age once and she remembers telling her mom about it. Just tell her. She knows all about it, and she already went through all of it.

Well, what should I say to a guy while on the phone with him to make him like me?

Also, what are some things that guys say to you that means they like you, but we dont notice?

I'll rate 5's.

Well, like everyone else has said, you can't make guys like you...So just be yourself and talk to him, get to know him. Maybe you could talk about music and find some things you have in common- music, sports, tv shows, hobbies, etc. You could ask him maybe if he likes scary movies, then maybe ask if he wants to go to a scary movie. (that way you can watch a movie and cuddle up to him) Lol....

basically i feel like im losing my friends and lately i have been really depressed. Nobody would really know because well i put up a front and i feel like im losing all the friends i had. I dont wanna hear advice like "try to get together with them" or "sorry" i just wanna know what to do to feel better and be more social.

Stop crying! You only want attention. To feel better: get Over it already. If you really wanted friends you would go introduce yourself to new people, not cry to us on advicenators.

[edit:] Well that is my opinion..I don't care what all of you think.

I like this guy, and I think he likes me back, but I'm not sure. He's hinted to me pretty strongly that he likes me, but I'm not sure. What should I do? Should I ask him if he likes me or just wait and see if he asks me out? By the way, I'm a girl and I'm 14.

Just make the first move! guys love a strong independent girl whose not afraid to speak up. Asking him if he likes you is kind of 3rd gradish, so just ask him to go somewhere with you and then see what happens.

Ok I have this friend who is always calling me names like stupid and if I say something to her like o thats real smart(jokeing) shell hit me.I know she is kidding but everytime I tell her to stop she never does.How can I get her to stop calling me names and hitting me?

First of all, she is Not your friend! That is really mean! I would first ask her to not hit you. And then if she keeps doing it, I would just stay away from her or tell somebody!

[view]

okay i got my period for the first time this week(on wed night) and today (thursday) is my first full day w/it and i got tampons. i want to go swimming tomorrow and i have the slim fit tampons. i know i'll be fine but on saturday my family and a few friends are going to an amusement park and i want to ride the water rides. can i do this while wearing a tampon? like the ones where you get on a tube and ride down a tunnel? i'll rate high!!!

Of course you can! It's inside your body, and it tightens up to fit you, so don't worry about it!

well im 14/f n there are tymes where i would want to die. see im not scared about dieing i would do it in a hearbeat but then i start thinking about my family and friends and how i want a family when i grow up. is this only me or are there other people feeling like this?
i rate high

yes, there are other people feeling that but all of you shouldn't be complaining. There are kids out there in third world countries who have nothing! They work all day and night for no money, have no family, no food, no home. You all shouldn't be complaining like, "Ohhhh I hate my life theres no point in living." You said yourself that you have a family and friends and that you want to start a family someday. Well, then I don't see why you hate your life so much.

School's about to start, and I don't really want to carry a backpack around all the time this year. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get those cute shoulder bags that are rectangle-squarish? They have really cute Coach ones, but I'm on a low-budget.

try walmart, kmart, target, hot topic, or pacific sun.
