I'm sorta going to try a diet. Liek eatin 4 small meals a day. And maybe walking around the block 2-3 times a day. Do you think this will work?
And if not can u explain why not please?? (link)
|
That is actually a very good plan.
By having many small meals, you can boost your metabolism. But be sure to get enough calories during the day. Try to stay at around 1500, and never EVER go below 1000.
Walking is also important. Keeping active helps keep you fit, and will also tone your muscles. ^^
Good luck with your diet!

im so self consious about myself.
i deffinately am fat, no getting past it.
im 5'3 and 140 pounds. yikes.
what are some excersizes i could use
that really show results??
kthanksbye. (link)

^^ Hun, I'm fatter than you. ^^
Any form of exercise would help, but I know most girls tend to focus on legs and abs.
Toning your legs is easy. Cycling, walking, jogging, pretty much any form of aerobic activity affects your legs. My personal favorites are cycling, martial arts, and DDR.
Crunches and pushups are the most common ab workouts.
Running and swimming are total body workouts. So try those also.
But you need to learn to be happy with your body at any size! I am the same height as you, and 15lbs heavier. So I can sympathize. Losing weight and getting fit is good. It will make you healthier in the long run. But don't feel miserable because you are a little overweight.
To feel more confident now, as losing weight can take a while, try different clothes that emphasize your best features. Put some makeup on, if you like to, and generally, try to look your best! Looking good will help you feel good.

that was my old question
i decided to give throw away my old computer but i dont know where to.. and also how do i take out the hard drive so no one can see my old documents? and its a windows 98 computer (link)
|
Format the hard drive to erase all the files.
Then, just donate the computer to a local church or Goodwill or something. There are plenty of people who would be able to use such a thing.

Hey, i have my prom this coming up friday, may 5th..and i have gotten a few pimples recently is there a way to get them significantly reduced or gone by then? (link)
|
I personally recommend the St. Ives medicated Apricot scrub.
You can use alcohol to get rid of pimples, but if you do, it can dry out your skin, so also use an oil free moisturizer.

mk well i have really thick shoulder length hair that i straighten almost everyday, but since its so bad for your hair im trying to get ideas of how to make it straight withough straightening it! when i dont straighten it its poofy and wavy and uglyyyyy so i would really prefer it straight..any ideas of how? please and thanks youu (link)
|
Try getting it permanently straightened at a salon. That may help.
For frizz, get mousse or straightening gel. John Frieda's Frizz-ease is the best, but is kinda expensive.
But maybe try the opposite route! Instead of waves, go for curls, full on spirals and ringlets. Get some scrunching gel or curl activators and then twist the hair around your finger or just scrunch it. You'll have nice, frizz-free curls.

I am getting a new hair-style soon. I have no idea what to tell the styler when she asks me how I want my hair cut. Does anyone know a cute hair style for someone like me who is 14 female and has natural really really straight hair? I don't want my hair too short. Please send me a website with a picture on it so I can see what it looks like. Please don't waste your time typing what it looks like. Just websites if you would. I want a really cute hair cut. (link)

im a 15yr/female and ive gots a problem.
i am in a 32 A bra size and i get made fun of because of it.(Except by my boyfriend)...well, when im at school everyone says that they wouldnt go out with me because i basicley have no boobs....know when my boyfriend tries to kiss me there i get nervous and i back away because of my boob size. what should i do? how can i make my boobs bigger? will people like me more then? (link)
|
Learn to live with it. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, myself, and let me tell you, it ain't all rainbows and sunshine here. Be happy you are spared all the stress of a larger chest.
But if it really bugs you, here is the only surefire way to get bigger boobs: gain weight. 'tis true.
But honestly, if people like you more with bigger boobs, its cuz they're shallow. Your boyfriend doesn't care! Why should you?
|
Im 15. I think I want to invite my boyfriend over to my house to just hang out, but when we get hungry I want to be able to cook him something special and really delicious?
any ideas / recipes? (link)
|
My recommendation is to make pizzas. Buy pizza crusts premade, and assemble all the ingredients. Then, you two can make your own pizzas together.
Stir Fry is quick and very tasty. Cut up veggies and meats into small pieces, toss them in a skillet with maybe a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and just cook til done on high heat, stirring a lot. It will be done in maybe ten minutes. If you make some white rice ahead of time, that would be perfect.

How can I make myself more attractive with out looking like a slut? How can I make more guys interested in me? particularly the guys I want to like me? Alsoo. How can I get out of being seen as a slut? please help! i need it bad! (link)
|
Following this old advice:
Dress so they see you're a woman, but know you're a lady.
Basically, dress in clothes that fit and flatter you, but leave things to the imagination. Do wear skirts, don't wear microminis. Do wear make up, don't use insane amounts of it. Above all, wear what you feel comfortable in and what represents you. Then those attracted to you will be be getting a better picture of what they'll be getting once they get to know you.

I'm not sure what my condition is, or if I even have one, but it's like this:
Everytime I go to walk around my block, or if I'm in the house alone (and I babysit!), I freak out. I look around frantically, even running from room to room! Is this normal? I don't get it as a severity (sp), but it's not exactly too light either. What can I do to prevent this sort of thing happening to me? Thanks. (link)
|
It sounds like some sort of phobia or anxiety issue.
Try finding something that makes you feel safer. Carrying a breathmint spray might help, as they can work as a sort of pepper spray.
Also, consider getting a pet, especially a dog. Having it around the house may reassure you, and when you go for walks, it can protect you. if you feel scared, you can pet it until you calm down.

I love nooodles right...but I can only make it in one way (with cheese)!!! and I know that's kinda not the point but I was wondering what oother ways can you make them that can go with chicken and that have little or no vegetables needed to add, cause every site I go on has vegetables or chicken r beef and I jus want a side order to go with baked chicken!
Thanks alot (link)
|
Try olive oil, basil and oregano.
Alfredo sauce is also quite good with chicken.
What I personally would do though, is put garlic butter on the pasta. Maybe a little bit of parmesan or romano cheese as well.

Where can I find shoes that have heels, (no more then two inches.. three at the most) and tie up your ankle. I am a size 7 1/2 in womens. (link)

If you like ankle laces, try Traffic. I have found many beautiful shoes there.

I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm not bragging or dramatizing anything.
I am a 13-year-old girl and I am...well...pretty smart. I thought I was doing well and I really like school, but for some reason, I am doing really bad according to my last progress report...D's and F's with a few A's. I know I can do better. I was in montessori for 2nd grade and 5th grade and I really liked it. My mom thinks it's an 'organization' problem, but that seems like she's calling me a slacker. Once I went into middle school (I am in 8th grade right now), everything started going downhill. I love my school, teachers, and friends, but I am considering switching, after my mom said, "Maybe there's another way to teach you.". I've researched on Google, and there are no montessori highschools (at least in my state). It is quite impossible to be homeschooled. I am wondering what other types of schools are out there for me besides one of those "bad kid" boarding schools. Thanks for reading! (link)
|
Depending on where you live, you could attend an online highschool. You can take all classes online. Doesn't work for everyone, though.
Also, there are religious schools. They tend to be smaller and more focused.
But if you like your school, why leave it? Talk to your teachers and your counselor, and ask them for advice. They can probably help you out.

every girl i go out with dumps me within a couple of weeks. i'm not conceited and people are always telling me i'm a nice guy but now i'm starting to feel like i'm not capable of keeping a girlfriend. how can i keep a girl for more than a couple of weeks? (link)
|
Consider why you went out in the first place. Relationships based on physical attraction don't last long.
Try to find a girl who is into the same stuff you are. Chances are the relationship will last a lot longer.

i really wanna have a electric quittare and i also have enough money and everything but my parents dont want me to have one! can any1 give me tips how to convince them? i'll rate 5 for good advice :-)
thanks (link)

Borrow a guitar and show them how you play. Chances are, if you really care about it, they'll let you get it.
If you don't know how to play yet, ask for lessons first, to show you are serious.

Im in seventh grade and my best friends mom wants her to go to a catholic school. And if she goes there I do not have any friends at my school because im really shy. Ive never had that many friends, so if my friend wants to go to that school then I want to go to a different school too. I feel bad cuase im really jealous but its hard because I dont see my best friend after school very much. So I dont know what to do. I dont think my parents could afford private school. I would really like to try and make new friends though... (link)
| |
Most Catholic schools offer scholarships, especially if you really want to attend. They can try to work something out. So ask! It never hurts to try, afterall. ^^

hey, i just started using jergens natural glow today. i have the right skin color bottle and everything. So i was wondering does this really work or is it a wast of my time? cait ♥ (link)
|
I used it myself.
It worked well, but remember to follow the precautions. Apply it evenly, and wash your hands after to get the excess off. Especially your nails. Mine were stained orange for a bit. ^^
It should fade gradually when you stop using it, as bathing will slowly get rid of the pigments.

I need help about religion. I currently attend a unitarion Universalist church and I am taking the class and all that. Oh yeah and im 13/f. I really do not know what I beleive in. I guess you could call me agnostic, but I do believe that there is a higher power out there. I just dont know what. The thing is, no offense to anybody, I just dont believe that God sends people to hl for sinning and stuff. I really dont know about christianiy all that much, but Im from the south where alot of people are really mean but they think they are such good chrisians because they read the bible. My question is is this normal? I just dont know what to believe and its anoying becuase some people are like "Why dont you believe in god?!" and its really embarrising. (link)
|
It is normal to question. We all do.
Believe what seems right to you. If you can connect with it, if it fills your spiritual void, then follow that,
I myself am a Catholic, and I love it. My church is highly service oriented, and that helps me feel that it is worthwhile.
Being a good christian means being a better person. Many Bible Thumpers are hypocrits, plain and simple. A good christian should try to emulate Jesus's example, and be kind and helpful to others.
As to the "why don't you belive in god" question, answer truthfully. You don't disbelieve in God. You simply don't believe in what religion says he is.
Oh, and I don't believe God sends people to hell either. We do that to ourselves. God tries everything to keep us from going there.

I really need to lose weight in my thighs, the area right above my knees, and my calves. What exercises will slim these? Also what foods should I cut back on, like sugar? ..
Thanks! (link)
|
Cycling will help your legs, especially your calves.
I personally use DDR for my workouts. It is great for your legs. But really, any sort of movement. Running, jumping.
Wall sits are also fabulous for thighs.
Or try leg lifts. Lie on your side and move your top leg up and down. Then the bottom leg. Then roll over and repeat.

I realy realy need some help. My friend has been cutting herself, and i don't know what to do to help stop her. She did stop, when she was dating this guy, she said "he made me feel beautful". I realy realy want to help her, but i don't kno how. I tried to get stop, but she won't listen to me. Also she's not afriad of cutting herself, because one of her friends, friend died from cutting herself, and my friend kno's this. I realy realy want to help her stop. But i don't kno how. I also think that her mom is to blame, because her mom calls her ugly and fat. But my friend isn't, shes really pretty, and weights only 102, and her weight is dropping. So i can't tell her mom, because her mom won't help....
(link)
|
She needs your love and support. I know it is hard to connect sometimes, especially when she is depressed like this, but try and have some fun. Focusing only on the cutting issue won't fix it. You have to make her see she has something good enough to stop for, that she has friends who care.
If you can't help her by yourself, you may have to ask for outside help. Talk to your school counselor or nurse if you can't do it alone. They will probably know what to do better than you or I.
