I'm Samantha, 17, and I love to help others. If I'm not sure about something, I will tell you, but I will tell you all that I do know. =D
advice
I'm 17 years old, 5'5", and weigh around 96 pounds. I'll go ahead and say I am pretty thin, but there are some areas that could use some muscle definition. Before I even ask my question, I am NOT looking to lose any weight. Weight loss is not a concern for me. I'm not involved in any sports, and I used to run in my free time, but haven't gotten around to doing so in about a year. I would really just like to tone up my whole body in general, especially for summer. I'm enrolled in a fitness gym that opens the first of June, so just some exercises or activities that I can do at home to give me a head start on toning would be extremely appreciated.
Start doing your abs! I think girls look really cute with abs. Not manly ugly abs like body builders, but the cute ones! If you don't have any weights around the house, get your gallon on milk, and do arm curls everyday. Push ups will help. I'm not sure about how to work you legs, try wall sits. I hope I helped!!
If you've lost a decent amount of weight, how did it affect your face and facial features? Did your eyes look bigger, or did your lips get thinner? I'm just curious what happens. Does the size of your neck even change? Ridiculous question, I know, but I really want to know!
I didn't lose a bunch of weight, just some that past year, and mainly my cheeks are not as round. And I don't have a "double chin" anymore either. Now my friend lost a bunch of weight. Here are two pictures of her
before

her a few weeks ago..
as you can see, her face is not as round.
She has big lips, they I think didn't change. And she just has small eyes. I hope I helped!
hi. im looking for a dress for prom and military ball cause my bf is bringing me to military ball as his date (obviously haha). so basically it has to be long but thats really it. it can still be fun and pretty (which it will be since im wearing it to prom) i just need places to look for dresses. i want a dress that had a tight bodice and then poofs out at the bottom a little but i might wait for Senior prom to wear that because my dream dress is one of those-like a Princess dress.

i really like that dress but i dont like the color and im not sure if i can wear it because its not long

i also like that dress but not the color
i really need a pretty dress but dont know where to look and i do not want to wear black or white either. i need a flattering color. i like the way those dresses are with the top like that and with a line of material under the bust and then flowing down. thanks!! :)

*16 female
i feel uncomfortable in my body sometimes(i know thats not a good thing but i don't know. its just how i feel). especially when i hang out with my friends who are skinnier then me. which is all of them... i have huge thighs. big boobs. my belly has a pouch on it. and i have love handles that can be seen through everything i wear.
i've been working out lately. i run on the treadmill. ride a stationary bike. go on an elliptical. and lift weights(i don't lift weights that much though) probably 2-3 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. the only problem is i don't eat as healthy as i should so that is probably why i am not loosing as much weight as i would like.
i want to get a perfect body by summer so i can feel comfortable wearing a bikini in front of people.
so heres my question. what other work out techniques should i start doing? and what eating habits should i start?
also another question. people say that when you work out your boobs get smaller. if thats true what exercises should i be doing so i can get smaller boobs?
Well I took up track to lose weight, and I have. I have big boobs like you, but I think I have a great body, I just had that little belly fat that a lot of people have. Thats gone. So if its not to late, go out for track. Cut out anything that has empty calories. Pop, chips, candy. Anything that doesn't help you. Lifting weights will help make your boobs more muscle then the fat that they are. From running, my boobs have got a little bit smaller, but only to were I notice it. So maybe try lifting weights that involve using your chest. Keep up the good work tho, and just try to lower the pop and what not. =-D
what does it mean when someone says your the moth and im the flame...or vice versa?? thanks
I'm sorry, I don't even know =[ Very Sorry I never heard that one before
OK so im 16 and i FINALLY convinced my parents to let me get my navel pierced. im going to europe this summer and my question was whether it would heal enough by around the last week of june if i get it done in April. another thing also, does it hurt!?? a lot of ppl say it doesnt but im hesitant. also while its healing can you go to the beach with it and go in the water? thnx :]
Coming from someone who has it done. It doesn't hurt at all. I got my top and bottom done. and they both felt like little bee stings. Maybe not even that. It will hurt to bend down but I went to gymnastics the day after getting it and I was fine. You can go to the beach with it. The salt water is actual good for it. But make sure to clean it with what they give you every time your done in the water. It should be okay to change by the end of June. I changed my both early. Whatever you do, don't swim in a lake, that got mine badly infected. And don't clean it with rubbing alcohol if it does get infected. It will like eat your infected skin. Trust me haha. Any more questions feel free to ask! =D
Soo I am 16 years old and I am pregnant and this dude asks me out. I told him that we needed to just be friends because I didn't know him. We was friends for about a week before he asked me out again. I said yes..But I never told him I am pregnant. What do I say to him that won't make him break up with me? I feel weird for asking people this on the internet...
He probably will break up with you. I mean if he had a child, would you want to date him? But just say "___ I need to tell you something. Before we started dating, I slept with someone, and I'm pregnant, I thought I should tell you now, instead of later. I'm sorry to just spring this on you, but you needed to know" I hope I helped!
does anyone have anytips on good kisses like to turn him on a little...
My boyfriend likes to be kissed on his neck, but on his shoulder muscle =D
What does it mean when sombody gets MONO??Ive asked people what it is but they dont know either.
Well I'm not a doctor haha, but what I know its also called the "kissing disease". When someone gets Mono, they could be sick for a very long time. A month or sometimes more. You lose a bunch of weight, I'm not sure why, if it's from puking or just not being hungry. Your tired most of the time. My one friend got sick about when school started, and didn't get 100% better until after Christmas. I hope I helped some! =D
where to get this dress: http://a694.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/114/l_fdb6c51dcbc06fd7277a165f57604925.jpg

Oh I just saw that their not the same. =[ My friends dress is longer and has more things on the stomach part. Sorry but I hope I still helped!
you answered a question about tanning spots recently,and i just wanted to ask--
Well, i'm going tanning for the first time ever,and i'm kind of scared! haha, i mean, i have no clue how long i should go for at first,and for how many days at a time,what do you think? and, what are tanning spots? haha, and just any additional information about going to a tanning salon that i should know.
thank you so much in advance. :]]
Well if your really white, like me, you might want to go in for only 5 mins. for the first couple times to get your skin use to it. Then go to 6 for a day or two. Then 8 the next day. If you get burnt then go down to the last set of mins. On most beds there is a time limit sheet. Look at it. If its not on there, ask the lady/man that works there. If u tan easy, start with about 6 or 8 mins.
Tanning spots of what I know, are spots on your skin that either tan more, or less then the rest of your body. Mine tan less. If your tan more, don't put lotion on those spots.
A kind of lotion that I LOVE are tingler lotion. It heats your body up pretty good, and it sometimes hurts. So I would suggest not using it until you have been tanning for awhile.
Check any moles that you might have. If they get bigger or uglier, then stop tanning and get them checked.
One more thing, your butt will probably get pretty burnt, try wearing underwear the first couple times. Or even a thong, mine gets burnt right where the thong covers, at the crack haha. Happy tanning! =D
i get 2 spots on my back when i go tanning around like my shoulder blades... anyway to get them to go away?
I get those, but under my ribs. I just put more lotion on those spots, or only on those spots for awhile. It helped some, but not enough to eveen out the colors. Since yours is on your back, have someone else put it on if you cant reach. I hope I helped! =D
Ok well I'm tired of working alone in my English class. Everyone in that class knows each other but nobody talks to me, which lowers my self esteem greatly. Even though I have an 85% average, my mark could've went higher if I was better with my presentaton skills. It's a serios phobia of mine and i've fainted many times which is quite embarrassing and now I really am determined to have a partner when the teacher allows it for group assignments. I don't even care really if i have to do all the work, if they present it, it's totally fine with me.
There's a few different people I have in mind to ask if another project comes that allows two people to wokr together but I'm very socially challenged and don't know how to ask. I don't even know how to react to their reactions if they'll put me down or not. I was more realistic in telling my best friend this and she tells me that I'm making it sound like i want to ask a person out but it's only because i'm not used to it.
Please help me? It's really serious, I'm so fed up with it, i'm actually having urges to skip or not even present anymore. Is it jsut as easy as "can i be your partner?" or is it mroe difficult?
I'm not even sure because usually when she says it's a group assignment everyone turns around to other people and the group is mentally already formed. I don't really here anyone asking "Can i be your partner?" these days.
And what do I do if someone rejects me?
thank you so much
Well for starters don't be happy if you have to do all the work and all they do is present it. Try talking to someone in that class now, become friends. And then when your talking one day, just be like oh hey, when we have another group thing to do in english wanna be my partner? Start talking to people on aol, myspace, or from other friends. I hope I helped!
what is wrong with myspace??
for the last 3 days it has been saying that no one is online and im not the only that is happening to.
go to your account settings
press privacy.
change your online thing to on.
myspace turned it off.
EVEN IF IT SAYS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IT CHECKED;
UNCLICK IT AND GO TO SAVE ALL AND THEN CLICK IT AGAIN AND SAVE ALL IIGHT HOMIE
repost this so everyone knows,
this is why you have no friends online
SO FORWARD
---------------------------------------------
i guess try this ,dont know if it will help or not
How safe is it to:
1) Be on birth control for 2 months, have sex without a condom + he ejaculates in you. However, doing it right before or right after you start your period. my boyfriend wanted to see how it felt not wearing a condom and ejaculating inside me. thanks
Just like a condom its 99.9% sure you wont get pregnant. But my friend was on BC and still got pregnant. I heard that since someone is on BC and their young, the best time to get pregnant is 15 days before your period. My nursing teacher told me that. So maybe try right after your period. I hope everything goes fine, and you won't end up doing it. But I was just answering your question =D
Hey okay i almost have my back-hand spring, or according to thers i do i just won't do it. I don't know why i won't do it i won't to, but i freeze up any advice.. Alos a hurkey and side hurderler!!! i keep getting legs mixed up>>>.any advice would be greatly appreciated
The back hand spring will come. Once you do it by yourself, you'll have no problem after. Try having just one person spot you, then have them only put their hand behind you, not touching you. That is doing it by yourself. Then try moving to someone just standing there. Thats how I did it, and I got mine two weeks after starting gymnastics. If your scared, don't push it, that will just cause injury. Around my town we have different names for the hurks. Our side hurk is your side hurderler. This is your still facing to the front, your "right" leg will go up, your arms parallel to your right leg, and your left is bent. Bent as in if your sitting in a sit jump.
http://www.oakharborcheer.com/RightFrontHurdler.jpg
((her leg realllly gets up there, haha))
A hurkey is pretty much the same. Instand of bending down, you'll be straight up, your "right" arm parallel to your "right" leg. Your "left" arm will either be on your hip or straight in the air or out.
http://lisagarigliano.com/cheer/cheerstunts/images/hurkey.gif
" " means either leg or arm. I hope I helped!! A little crazy, but I tried!
Hey Everyone,
alright, so me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 2 months, not very long I know. But we liked each other wayyyyy before then, for about 3 months, but we couldn't do anything about it because we were both seeing other people. But, he didn't cheat on his girlfriend and i didn't cheat on my boyfriend no matter how bad we wanted too. anyways.. he can drive.. so almost every Saturday we go bowling, sometimes we leave early and go to beach access. He told me his is a "virgin" and he's very honest about everything he says, so I'm pretty sure thats true. He wants to do more,[phone sex,fingering,dry hump, whatever] he says I'm to "shy" but actually I'm not shy at all.
my question's are..
-how can i overcome my shy-ness or whatever?!?
14/f
thanks bunches
summer ;)
not the answer you want, but I agree. I'm sorry. Wait
I'm 20/f, he's 22m, I always like opinions on this kind of thing.
Our situation's pretty complicated - we're not actually going out, but we act like it. He's also my best friend. We actually dated two years ago for seven months. We still like each other, and we're still involved.
He also hates Valentine's Day. (Though when we were going out, he picked me up from work with a card, a rose, and took me out to dinner. Sweetest thing ever.)
I was thinking about getting him something like a card - but he already knows how I feel, and reiterating it might just make him feel caged, and that's not what I want.
So I was thinking about getting him a small container of my favorite cologne - but he doesn't really wear cologne much anymore.
I've given him stuffed animals in the past (he's a sensitive sweet guy with a tough exterior =P), and a framed drawing for his last birthday...so I dunno. I love to personalize my gifts to my friends, but I'm not sure where to go with this one.
I was also thinking of suggesting we go to Melting Pot (Amazing fondue restaurant that you need reservations like a week in advance for), but I dunno how he'd take it.
What do you guys think?
Well ask him to be your Valentine, so he knows that you'll be getting him something. Make plans to go out to dinner, and get him a card, and if you guys are sexually involve with each other, then make him like sexy coupons that he can use.(if you know what I mean.) Or maybe even ask him out that night. To date each other. If you guys aren't sexually involved, then maybe get him a gift card to his favorite sports place, or game tickets. I hope I helped!

this is going to sound super shallowww.
i really really really like this kid. but, hes not cute. at all. i mean i deff. like him for his personality. hes not the type of guy i would ever date. all my boyfriends were usually football or baseball players or something. this kid is deff. far from that. i wanna like him, and i know he likes me. but, i know.. if i went out with him, people would make fun of me. i dont know if id kiss him or anything, because i'm not attracted to him like that, i mean i kinda am. but idk. do you think its worth it? it seems though, as eeach day goes by, i like him more and more. its like i have a disease.
I think you should go for it. You should care of what other people think. If he makes you happy, then date him. If you "friends" make fun of you then their not really your friends at all. I would rather have a person in my life that makes me happy, then fake friends that will make fun of me.
hey can you give me some tips on My Story Is Makeover game !
Well, I'm not sure what kind of tips you want. But at the begining you choose what kind of girl you want. Next it will give you what kind of mood shes in. Mine says Sporty. Whatever mood she's in thats what you want to base your clothes off of. I hope I helped!
