Q: ok so i weigh about 126... and i need to weigh 105 before a start to wear my swimming suit!!!!!!! please help me and dont say i dont need to loose weight because you dont know that. how do you loose 21 pounds in like 3weeks???? do i just not eat?!
ag no, dont stop eating! you'll actually end up gaining weight because your body freaks and thinks your starving so it sloooowwws down your metabolism!!

swim swim swim, if you have a pool in your backyard so you can do it w/ privacy. it really helps your overall muscle tone and makes you feel better w/ endorphins. or if you enjoy running/jogging/or walking. if you stick with any kind of work out its almost guaranteed that you'll loose weight. pick a workout that you enjoy though!! because then you'll be more likely to do it!

you should go on a reasonable diet though. high fiber, low carb (south beach diet) works really well. eat lots of fruits and veggies and salads and NO soda, cookies, cakes and that kinda junky stuff that you can do without!!

good luck!!- :)

Q: hey i was thinkin of after my shower putting gel in my wet hair and scrunching it. do i need to blow dry my hair as/after i do this? can i just let it air dry? thanks
let your hair air dry for about 10-15 minutes, THEN put the gel in. it doesnt work as good if you put the gel in when your hair is like sopping wet. after you put the gel in, let it air dry more intil its dry because it comes out better.

hope i helped- :)

Q: ok. Everytime i try to click on my aim nothing happens. I've tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but it says AOL is running and i have to close it but i cant find where its running from. please help!
yep, i have the same exact problem as you. first, you cant have it clicked to automatically sign you on and you cant save your password. make sure the little aim icon is not on the bottom right (if it is, then right click on it and hit exit aim). then, click on the time on the bottom right. then close that. then, click on the aim icon on ur main screen and it should work. it sucks to have to do that everytime, but if i figure out a different way ill let you know.

Q: Hi, we are 13 and we need a job, so we can get money so we can buy our own clothes because our parents make us pay for our clothes because they think that we are mature enough to earn our own money, but in reality, we dont know how to get money. Please give us ideas for jobs. Please dont tell us to talk to our parents because thats dumb and if you havent thought about it yet, we have tried that so dont be stupid. PLEASE HELP!! WE RATE HIGH!!
theres always babysitting. or if yall are good with pets and/or plants, you could start a pet service or plant service where you take care of peoples pets or gardening. or if you can make really good brownies, you could try selling them for like 50 cents a piece. or if you know how to make snow cones, i bet those would sell really good during the summer.

hope i helped & good luck- :)

Q: Heyy okay everybody always says im a sweet,cute,lil shorty(im in 10th grade if dat helps)but they always say that i got an ass and a chest but i never show it(i always wear long shirts and baggy stuff) and i need help on this: I want to wear shorter stuff but i dont feel comfortable...How can i make my self wear shorter shirts?
you just need more confidence i suppose. where shirts where you know you look good :). when you feel sexy, youll look sexy. dont wear them if your not comfortable though. just wear stuff that makes you feel and look good at the same time.

Q: I have to go over to my grandpas, and i dont want to....any idea on how to get out of it?

Q: I love both fashion and also writing, and I was wondering if a good job choice for me would be the assisting editor of a magazine such as Teen People, Vogue, Seventeen, or another magazine resembling such. What work would I have to do before I can reach the editor job? What college majors would I have to take?
yeah being a magazine editor would be awesome for your interests. for sure, you should have a journalism major. and maybe you could minor in fashion. youd start out as a reporter most likely or something simple (not sure) and work your way up!

good luck!!- :)

Q: What's the quickest time it's ever taken for your account to be upgraded after you paid? I know it takes a while but I'm just wondering how long it took for the current paid users.
well you should only start being concerned if your account hasnt been updated within 48 hours. but it also depends on the admin going on vacation (so it could take longer than expected)like the previous answer mentioned.

Q: My hair has been extra tangled lately. In the morning it takes 10 minutes to brush out my wet hair. Can anyone suggest some products to cure this problem. My first thought was Johnson & Johnson's No More Tangles shampoo, but isn't that for little kids?
nah it works for most hair types. also try thermasilk conditioner. it works really good! when your drying your hair, try not to rub it that hard w/ the towel because doing that can make it really tangly. or you can try leave in conditioner!

good luck- :)

Q: Alright well my friend gave me this stuff to try because I really want a tan but im really pale. Well she kinda didnt tell me the full directions.. she told me to rub it in and stuff.. and then wait 5 mins.. and that the tan would show up in 5 mins.. well she was so wrong and she didnt tell me it takes a few hours for it to start showin up.. so i got home na dim putten some on.. and i dont look tanner.. so i wait like 15 mins still dont.. so i put some on and more and more ect. well i wake up and my legs are really dark and sorta orange!! how do I get it off!?
they sell TONS of prouducts that remove that fake tan stuff. i would recommend the one that has like shea butter at bath and body works. but you can find tan removers at like any grocery store.

good luck- :)

Q: I have been needing to go pee more than 3 times a day...is that bad? And doesn't it take abour 6 hrs or so to digest?
the average person goes like 6-8 times a day! so id be concerned that you werent peeing enough lol. just drink more water i guess.

in total, it actually takes 20-30 hours to digest something. if something is digested too quickly then it will come out unpleasantly. :P

hope i helped- :)

Q: Hi, I know this might be a stupid question....
My boyfriend and I have fooled around naked, although not had sex. My period is now late, could I be pregnant?
well its pretty rare that a sperm can live outside of a human body. but if he came and some how a live sperm got inside you, then yes you could be pregnant.

good luck- :)

Q: When my hair is wet after a shower it stays down and stuff but then when it dries up it just poofs up and everything messes up. Is there any method or product that will keep my hair the way i had it when it is wet?
try frizz-ease serum or leave in conditioner or just blowdrying it with a rolled brush

hope i helped- :)

Q: i didn't exactly become a bum. a bum is jobless and homeless. i have a home and a job thank you. but i'll prolly go back to school eventually, i just don't really care to now. it's not my cup of tea currently.
hey now, i didnt call YOU a bum. i just hoped that i wouldn't become one :P. sorry if you thought i did. but i totally understand if someone doesnt wanna go to school, its not meant for everyone

Q: whenever i try to rip a cd on to my computer, i cant listen to the songs after i upload them. it always sends an error report and restarts the program. ive tried re-installing it but i get the same problems.

what do i do?
hmm. the only thing i can suggest is that you make sure you are always installing the latest version of windows media. also, ive had similar problems with re-writable cd's (the ones that cost more) so also try using just the regular writable cds

good luck & hope i helped- :)

Q: hi i am asian and i curl my eyelashes.. the thing is when i put on mascara, my eyelashes like overlap.. they dont clump together its just when i put on mascara the lashes overlap eachother.. how can i help this? i need helpful tips like not type of mascara to use

they look like this:

theyre pretty cheap too! just comb the 'comb' side through your eyelashes and they should separate

hope i helped & good luck- :)
