If i ran on the tredmill 20 minutes everyday how much weight would I loose? I wanna loose like 15-20 lbs before the summer, so by like june. Do you think its possable. What else can i do to help?

thankss
i rate 5's (link)
It depends on how fast you run and how much you eat and how active you are otherwise. Say you run 20 mintues at a very slow jog, eat alot of food, and don't do anything else but sit on your butt, then, no, you won't be close. Also, remember that muscle weighs more than fat. I've gained a couple pounds since I started running almost every day, but that's becasue I have alot more muscle. If I were you, I would cut back on sweets (but DO EAT regular, good sized, meals), and either sprint for 20 minutes or run for at least an hour. Not many beginner runners can run 4 miles in 30 minutes. I'm a decent runner and some of my friends are better than me and we all have about 10 mintue miles (like mine was tenchically 9 minutes 50 seconds and someone elses was 8, etc.)You can also get active in other sports. For example, I run track and horseback ride, and one of my best friends runs track and plays soccer.

What not to do...do not not eat. make sure you eat enough for the amount of calories you are going to burn.


um..... this may be a wierd question but i'll ask it. when is about the age girls start shaving their legs? (link)
There is no right age, just like there is no right age for your period to start or anything else like this. I started in 6th grade but one of my friends has really light blond hair and never has before.


HI,
Im currently talking to this girl who happens to be my friends ex. We dated for about a week and broke up because things were kinda complicated. She was scared of me losing all my friends. She went out with my friend for 9 months and they broke up 3 months ago cuz he cheated on her. I talked to him about it and he gave me the okay, and told me it would be akward. But im affriad of all my friends talking shit behind my back. Every time i talk to this girl i like her more and more, what should i do, is this right?
I dont want to lose her??? i know she really likes me, but she just doesnt want to be the cause of drama..... but i really think shes worth it?? what should i tell her??? what should i do????
(link)
Oh man, boy have I been here before.

Honestly, it is not for your other friends to decide. If they judge you on it and your friend has already said it was ok, then something else might be happening. Talk to them about the real deal.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE POSITIVE THAT IT IS OKAY WITH YOUR FRIEND. (and that is in capitals for a reason). Sometimes friends say it is okay when it really isn't. They just do not want to get in the way. Trust me, I've seen friendships go down the drain because of this. (for some reason my friends have a thing for going out with each other ex's, probably because we all get so close while the guy is with one of us).

If it is okay and you are positive of it, then go for it!



Is it wrong that I never tell my "best friends" anything anymore?


Whenever I do tell them something, they end up telling their other really good friend who tells someone else, who then tells other people and the next thing I know, I'm walking into Best Buy and the guy at the register asks me about what I did with who at what party a few weekends ago. True story..that really did happen. Kinda funny but I was pissed as a mofo.


Now that I don't talk to them about anything serious, they get all mad. But why should I tell them things when the rest of the world is just going to find out about it?


I don't want to loose them as friends because they're still fun and everything so I just figured okay, I'll still hang out with them but not tell them anything that I would rather keep between us. But, turns out that they don't like that.


What should I do? Just ditch them?
(link)
People have many different personalities and need many different people to fit those. What I would do is stay with them and have fun (don't let them know there's something you aren't telling them). They can be like your party girls/guys, they people you go crazy with. However, its a good idea to have at least one or two really good friends who you can talk to and be serious with who are trustworthy. If your "best friends" don't accept the fact that you are not going to tell them everything, then maybe it is time to move on.


ok,well,i have BADD alergeys,(tree pollen) and i already have medicine for it,but it doesnt do the trick (its clariten Reditablets) and i have a dance on friday,i dont want to walk in with puffy eyes!!!
any other (powerful) medicines i could use? i've tried almost everything!! (link)
I use Clariten as prescribed by my doctor and it helps me ALOT. I'm allergic to horses (my pride and joy, of course) but when I take it, I can be with them for 12+ hours and not sneeze once.


when i'm with a group of people, i get really shy and i never know what to say. when i'm around just a few people i'm really loud & outgoing. like tonight, after my soccer game we went out to dinner with the team. everyone was laughing and screaming, but i was really shy and not "hyper" as they called it. and those kids are my friends so it's not because i didnt know them. i tried speaking up and being outgoing, but the more i tried to like fit in, the shyer i got. it was so weird. but then again, in school the teachers all yell at me because i never shut up. how come i'm shy around certain people but REALLY loud others? oh, and don't say i don't feel comfortable around them because i do. and how do i step out of my shy zone and become outgoing (to the people i'm shy with.) what are some things to bring up in a conversation and stuff? i really dount know why im like this.

signed,
confused (link)
Hey, I'm kinda in the same situation. With my friends from school, I'd be this hyper person who gets yelled at my the teachers and needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut. However, I was completely differemte with my riding friends, probably because I was new at my barn (about a year ago). One day I asked my friend for advice and she said, "You aren't there to make friends. You are only there to ride and get better as a rider." For some reason, that made me more comfortable and open up more. Now I'm pretty much best friends with this one girl at my barn and really good friends with the others. So just remember at soccer, you are only there to play soccer and have fun and get better. Maybe you will be like me and start opening up because you are more comfrtable. Good luck!


My friends and I have recently become interested in playing card games. But, the problem is, we've played the following games so much that we're sick of them:
five card draw
texax holdem
bullcrap
spades
crazy eights
speed
indian poker
go fish
and a few others that I can't remember. Does anyone have any good card game ideas? They need to be fun and easy to play- I just need some new games. Thanks! I rate fives for good answers. (link)
Have you ever heard of Hearts? It's my favorite card game.

I'm taking my dog to get put down on Friday. She has cancer and is really sick. I've had her for 10 years and it's going to be really devastating. I don't know how I'm going to handle it. Has anyone else had a pet put down, how did you get over it? What's it going to feel like, no one close to me has ever died before! (link)
I have many pets die (my cat who my family had even before I was bor and my numerous hamsters and gerbils) and I;ve also had other animals that were close to me die (a pony I used to ride all the time, another pony, the pony I used to give lessons on, and a couple other horses). It is sad and you are going to hurt. The best thing that I did was stay busy and hang out with my friends alot. When the horses died, I still rode alot because I knew I HAD to. I tried to keep the rest of my life the same. After my old cat died, we waited about a year to get our new cats, which was a good move for us. We felt like we couldn't replace her, but after a year the pain was lessened. However, my horseback riding trianer got her new dog (who is absolutely the best dog I know) about a week after her old dog died. At the time, it was only her living in her house and she's the kind of preson who needs a companion. It's actually a quite touching story becasue the day before she went to get Noah, her new dog, she was wondering if her old dog would take it the wrong way. Then she turned on the TV and a show about Noah's Ark was one. Everyone took it as a sign that her old dog was telling her to get Noah, and it turned out to be for the best. A couple years after the first pony died, I started riding this gelding, and one day I noticed that they are like the splitting image of each other. I felt like it was DeeDee, the pony, sending a guardian angel down to take care of me and my best friend.

Well, enough stories, here's what I though to help me.

1. I believe, not in heaven, but in another place where everyone goes when they die, like an after life. Therefore, I keep telling myself that I will see them again.

2. In that place, there is no pain so your beloeve dog will be out of pain and misery. He'll be happy.

3. This place is located above us so our pets and loved ones can look down on us and watch over us.


I didn't know where to put this question, but anyway, I can ride horses bareback very well and I jump horses very well (with a saddle of course). Think I would get hurt if I tried jumping without a saddle? I've never fell off a horse bareback, and I flatout gallop them. Just wonderin. (link)
If everything goes well, jumping bareback could be perfectly safe. However, sticking to a saddle for jumping is better. Saddles help spread out your weight and most horses (unless your horse is like COMPLETELY bombprood) will not like it if you slam down on their back after a jump. I know my horse would probably unseat me and go galloping around the arena if I slammed down hard enough.


My friend collects model horses (like the plastic ones, etc). I'm fine with it, but I'm just curious to know what people think about it. What are your opinions? (link)
I don't think it's weird at all! Does she collect Breyers? I love Breyers and there are even shows for them at show major horse shows and fairs. It's awesome, but I don't collect.


Hey, all you teen boys out there, I was wondering if any of you like horses or are involved with them. I'm just curious, it seems like it's too much of a girl thing for some reason. So I want to know if anyone knows any horse guys or if you are one yourself.

lol and I'm not looking for answers saying "horses are cool", because I want to see if anyone likes them more than "cool" and have actually done things with them.

(link)
I'm a girl but I looove horseback riding. I do Hunters, but at my barn there are also two Western trainers. I know at least 5 guys who ride with them (although most of them are older than 30). At my old barn, there were at least 7 guys my age. So, yes, there are guys out there who ride.


I'm a beginner I guess.
I'll love any good websites that improve a singing voice, warm ups, breathing tips, throat remedies..
And if you have any tips yourself.. :]
I'll also like to know what songs are easy to start with. Someone suggested songs from Wicked?
Thanks :] (link)
Many songs from Wicked are really high so they may be easy if you have that type of voice. I am an alto and don't have that high belting voice.

My biggest tip is to get a voice coach if at all possible. He or she will be able to hear your voice and make suggestions specfic to your style.


i have known my this girl ashley since like 1st grade we were like best friends up until the summer going into eigth grade we had so much fun together we never stopped laughing and with my other friends we grew apart but nothing wood ruin are friendship or atleast thats what i thought during the summer going into 8th grade we had a HUGE fight like it was crazy but the weird thing is i dont remember what its about or who started it but it was big so big that its almost then end of 8th grade and even when i walk by her in the hall there is anger in are eyes we havent even talked since the fight and were going to high school next year and i really wanna just be friends again but i dont no what to do i refuse to talk 2 her because then it would be to acword so i need to no what to to 2 be friends with her again other then some cheesey answer like talk it out should i even try to be her friend anymore idk please help!!! (link)
Here are some of my experiences and maybe you can use what I did to help you...

Most recent-My friend and I got in a huge fight over a guy (some stupid silly guy, I know). We walked around both with tears in our eyes (she'd break down at her softball game, I'd have a fit at my track meet, we'd both loose control during science class) and nothing our other friends could say would bring us back together. Well, today, I finally missed her so much that when we were both online, I just said "Hi, is it possible to be friends again?" and we are now back to being pretty good buddies. Our think our friendship has even grown because of it. So maybe, you could say something online, but be careful because things online can be more easily misintreperted.

A while ago-My best friend "forever" and I got in a fight and our situation was similiar to yours. One day, I missed her so much, so I called her and just started talking. I filled her in on every detail since we had stopped talking and told her how much she meant to me. Although it took her awhile, we are friends again, though not best friends like we used to be.

And last year-My friends got into a fight. It was like three of my awesome friends verse three of my other awesome friends with only me and my best friend in the situation above in the middle. There was a lot of hate going around and many emails were sent. Most of them were fowarded to me. Eventually, I got so mad at them that I snapped and told both sides that they were being stupid and overreacting. Finally, they realized they were and I fowarded apologies to me to them so everyone knew each other was sorry.

Now those would only work if you are willing to talk to her, but communication is a very important key to a friendship, espeicialy a best friendship. If you can't talk to her, while i hate to be the one who says this, I don't thin kthere's a good chance for you guys to be friends again.


im a 15/f and kinda a chunk monkey and i want to begin running b/c i played lacrosse this year n ran out of breathe pretty quick. so i was wondering what would be the best way to build up my endurance and lose weight quickly so by fall ill b able to play field hockey and keep up w/ the other girls? (link)
"Belle" answered perfectly. Just get out there and run. Before track started, I could hardly make it once around the track. Now I'm out doing 2.5 miles and can still do more. Try not to skip any days, but if you have to, try to keep them to a minimum. The one other thing I have to add is stretch before AND AFTER you run. It is really important.


ok well i have a friend and she is really sweet. But i recently found out she had been cutting her wrists, so i told one of my teachers and she reported it to the office as an annonimous report. So she got called down to the office today to be talked to and well lets just say she was really upset. Shes not aloud back at school untill she goes to a shrink atleast 6times! So anyways well she keeps e-mailing me and im scarred shes going to find out it was me because someone told her that they saw a girl friend taalking to one of our teachers about her. So how am i suppost to approch her in a way that dosent hint to be proven it was me? Did I do the right thing? I really dont want to loose a friend i have already lost so many this year! I go threw school with only 3 friends! And i dont want to walk arond alone! Helllp

Trust me and believe me...you did the right thing. Next time she could have gone farther and have commited suicide. Would you rather have her mad now or dead? That may sound really insensitive but that's the way it is. She needs help and people like that often don't realize it. If you think she is going to find out it was you who told, tell her yourself. Even if she doesn't realize it now, soon she will be thanking you. If you don't think she is going to find out, don't worry about telling her. She doesn't NEED to know if you don't feel comfortable telling her. And always remember, there are some secrets you just don't keep.


Does anyone know of some good country songs, preferablly somewhat easy to sing, that are played mostly using guitar? I need one for talent show!

Thank You (link)
Do you want slow, fast, etc.?

There's this one song by Kenny Chesney called Old Blue Chair that I know sounds AWESOME with just a guitar.


one of my bestfriends died and i need a song to put up on myspace to show i miss her and care!

please help

(link)
Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that.

For some reason, Cry from A Walk To Remember by Mandy Moore seems like a better choice to me, but maybe that's only because I have memories of me and my best friend sitting there during that part and actually crying together.

You could also put her favorite song on it.

I would suggest When I Get Where I'm Going by..oh man... Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton or Who You'd Be Today by Kenny Chesney or My Old Friend by Tim McGraw (it even says "this songs for you").


i need to compare and contrast boarding school and prep school.
i also have a few questions
*for BS, do you come home to visit your family on the weekends?
*PS has uniforms, right?
*does BS have uniforms
*For boarding school, do you have like a private room, or a private room and do you share it with someone else?
Thanks, and i PROMISE I'LL RATE (link)
I think it pretty much depends on the school. My friend works at a prep school (fellow rider) and they have uniforms. For boarding school, you may be able to come home if its close enough, some boarding schools have uniforms but some don't, and you probably have to share a room with at least one other person.


Okay, so there's this guy, he is SO cute, we've been friends all this year. And I fell in love with our friendship.

Silly as it sounds. But I like him, ALOT! He sometimes calls me at night, and one time, he wanted to meet me at the mall and watch a movie. (May I add, he doesn't know I like him.)

Okay, during school, my very close friend, talks about my crush ALL THE TIME. It kind of bothers me cause she says all this stuff like, "Oh, he keeps poking me in the arm, and told me it was a 'Love Tap'" I got pretty sad when she told me this. (Also, may I add, I told her I liked him before she even told me this.)

Last night, she told me that she 'kind of' likes my crush! To be honest, I wasn't surprised since she made is OBVIOUS!

But the problem is, she's ALOT prettier then me. She went out with more guys then I have. And most guys ask her out and everything. I'm just scared that maybe my crush might fall for her, and forget about me. I'm just scared if he DOES ask her out, that she's going to say yes.

I don't know what to do. My crush doesn't know I like him, and my friend likes him. I don't know what to tell my friend how I feel about this. I don't want to ruin our friendship. But it's really killing me. It gets me really mad, knowing that ALL the guys I thought is cute, or had a crush on, she happen to like them as well.

I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.
Sorry for this to be so long. But I need advice.

Thanks, I rate high! =] (link)
This happened to me, too, (glad to know you aren't the only onr?) except the guy we both liked happened to be my best friend's boyfriend. Confusing, huh? So I told my best friend and she goes, "Him or me?" It was all I needed to decide that friends are always before guys (and, plus, I was like bestfriends/still am best friends with the dude too). Whatever you decide to do, always remember that guys come and go, but once a friend is lost, it is hard to get a friend who can take her place. Imagine how you would feel if they went out. Well, she would probably feel the same exact way if you ever went out with him. The best thing to do is forget about the guy.


hey im trying to find a really good song that deals with this: Well my ex boyfriends till means a realyl lot to me and i still love him with all my heart. I was wondering if there was any songs that any of you know off the top of your head this like like i still want you back and i love you. etc even though he was someone new. It can be country because i love country. Or hip hop R&b anything like that. THANKS A BUNCH! I'll rate 5's!!! (link)
Every Time I Hear Your Name-Keith Anderson (country, all the way!)

Please Remember Me-Tim McGraw

Over and Over Again-Tim McGraw and Nelly

Hope I helped!
