whats a good and healthy way to weight loss?
( i only want to loose 20 lb.) (link)
|
Well, you could start by looking at all the other questions on this site that have asked the exact same thing...
...so yeah... beyond the obvious there, you need to do the following:
Talk to a doctor - perhaps during a physical.
Be very aware of your dietary intake / caloric intake.
Start a regular, regimented exercise routine.
Stay physically active.
Get a good night's sleep every night.
Stay disciplined to maintain all the steps listed above (except the doctor bit... only need to do that once).

MY daughter is 3 yrs old and she goes to Day-Care. Last week-end i asked her best friends mum if her daughter cld come ansd spend the week-end at our house and she agreed with condition that the next coming week-end my dauhter goes over to her place. now as the week-End draws nearer i tend to wish i had'nt agreed to the condition. I know it is not fair as her daughter did come to my place. I have never once been apart from my baby and if i was going out i always left her with family+My daughter is very personal. What sld i do!!!!THE WEEK-END IS GETTING NEARER (link)
|
Let your daughter sleep over there.
It is going to have to happen at some time anyway.
Mind you, I think at the age of 3, that's waaaay too young for having sleep-overs. Hell, my 4 year old doesn't even have sleep-overs yet.
Unless you have real trepidation about the family that your daughter would be staying with for the night, you should probably go through with your end of the bargain.

This is for my friend, lol. I can't give him advice.
See, he recently started hanging out with this girl who isn't a virgin. She lost her virginity at 14!!! -_- And, like, not only did it once with this guy, but about 8 times. So, basically my friend wants to know whether she had feelings for this guy...I mean, to uh, do it more than once with him...
And everyone in school teases my friend for hanging out with this girl, because I don't know, actually lol.
So my friend is wondering basically if this girl is right to be hanging out with. And yesterday he declined going to the movies with her, and kinda made up an excuse, because he didn't know how he felt about her. (he just couldn't go)
Thanks tons. xoxo mariah (link)
|
My first question is: why should her past matter? That sort of thing seems to be what would matter to gossip mongers and people obsessed with badmouthing others.
Could it be that when she slept with whomever when she was 14 that she was just gullible and not really thinking clearly? Might it have just been a really awful mistake?
Anyway... why is it wrong for someone to be friends with her? For people to insist that they shouldn't be friends is petty.
|
Alright, everyone, if you kiss someone, is it supposed to feel different if you like them?
This is what happened, I kissed this guy for a first time, and it felt different from other kisses. Then when I kissed him 2 days ago, it just felt like a kiss.
So, tell me. Am I supposed to feel something when I kiss someone? (that i like, maybe?) Basically, is there supposed to be something there?
(link)
|
the whole "feeling something" is really just in your head...
...but that's a good thing.
If you are enamored with someone and you kiss, likely you're going to feel elated. But as time wears on, and if you're not truly in love, the kiss might lose some of its magic.

I've been noticing that I've been losing a lot of hair over the past year. My father's bald, so I'm very worried that I'll look like him in a few years. Do any of those hair treatments work? I'm slowly developing the Jack Nicholson hairstyle. (link)
|
You do not get blading from the father. Balding is sex-linked through the mother's family. You need to see if your mother's father is bald.
Next - every hair follicle only grows so many hairs EVER. So, these hair treatments like Rogaine will force the follicle to grow hairs, but then the follicle will run out of hair growing cells that much faster - so while you'll have hair for a while longer, you'll go totally bald that much faster later on.. not worth it in my book.
Hair transplant surgeries are about the only truly 100% sucessful thing to fix baldness.

Ok well my boyfriend did me wrong and made some mistakes we broke up yesterday and like I know he made some MAJOR mistakes but like I forgive him so fast! I've never felt this way for someone before... is this love or is it just me being stupid? Help me please i'm so confused on what to do! (link)
|
Doesn't sound so much like love to me, more that you're waay to quick to forgive and forget (this might be called stupid by some), and that he sounds like a jackass.
Find someone who actually cares about you. This guy doesn't.

Ok, im 12 and i weigh about 150-160 and im 5'9 but i dont look fat, but my fat goes to my legs(thighs mostly) and now its starting to get to my belly and i want to lose weight but nothing works for me. i tried excercising,doesnt work, dieting, i get too hungry , and i dont know what else to do to lose weight! i only look fat in shorts and my bikini, but i like to wear those clothes and i cant cuz my legs are fat. (link)
|
You're 12 years old... why are you worrying about this?
Don't "diet", but be thoughtful of what you eat, how much you're eating, and when you're eating. Combine that with regular exercise and staying active, and you'll be fine.

I was good friends w/a guy for yrs..and we had "relations" at times...when he left for school he would visit me as soon as he got to town,it was great then I met someone and my new boyfriend didn't like him so we lost contact for 5 yrs.Well i contacted him last yr telling him I've always loved him etc....and he eventually called me one day when he was in town and wanted to see me.Well since our reconnection he calls me as soon as he gets in town and we hang out and again have romantic moments.We have never discussed my letter...I know men normally freak at the Love word, so being I said that to him from a guys point of view,does it mean that he cares to since he's reconnected with me when he didn't have to knowing how I felt?Men truly baffle me!! Any insight would help! (link)
|
Well, it is hard to say...
It is either one of two things:
he likes/loves you, but is afraid to say it...
or he keeps coming back to you because he knows how you feel and that makes you a willing partner (aka, he's using you).
Your best bet is to confront him on it - make him talk about the relationship. He'll either open up, or he'll clam up... and one way or another, things will be moving forward, or imploding.
Personally, I'd say he owes it to you to let you know what he's really feeling.

Okay..me and my two friends crack and smack have a band crack played the drums but then he decided he wanted to play the guitar so he got into it. so we found a new guy, sven, that was into the drums so we got him..he didnt even know how to play..he bought a really expensive drumset and that was a while ago and he's still not good. Well anyways we just originally wanted the band to be me, crack and smack. so crack went back to drums..we've had band practice with just us three and sven just doesnt ever bother getting better with the drums. so we hadnt heard from him in forever so we pretty much figured he was out of the band...but just recently he keeps calling up and telling us his thoughts on how OUR band should be doing..and he think hes still in it..what should we tell him????we dont want him in the band!!! (link)
|
ah... been there... sucks to be in that position.
At worst, you just flat out tell him that the band decided to keep going without him.
At best, you make up some elaborate scheme and list a bunch of songs that you know he'll hate and proclaim that you're all learning the songs and hope that he "leaves" on his own...
the other thought is, don't worry about calling yourselves a band... just have "jam sessions" and don't worry about "rehearsal" - in a jam session, people come and go, so its not a big deal to not be asked to play in one... but in a band with rehearsal it is a different mindset... so don't talk about band direction or anything like that... when talking to this guy, make him "know" that it is a jam session and that there is no band direction... then he can't feel left out.

um...well im 5'7" and i weigh 140 at most.am i over wieght? (link)

No, you are not overweight. In fact, you sound like your height-weight ratio is right on the money.

first - get lots of money to pay for server costs on the internet
next - learn PHP and code the entire site on your own
thirdly - learn good web design and put the php code with a nice interface
after that - test the site to make sure it works
and most importantly - get smart people to start the site on a good note, then watch it fall into a state of chaos with crap being spewed all over it.
And there you have it.

Well been married to my husband for 2 year's been together for 3 year's and he is getting worse, he work's night shift from 9 p.m.-6a.m. mon-thur and he sleep's all day until it's time for him to go to work and than when it's time for him to be off from work he sleep's all day and stay's up all night he spend's no time with me,i feel like he is my room mate and than he just started stop telling me he love's me and kissing me good bye,but we do still make love he never hold's me, please help i cry all the time,don't know what to do. (link)

When my wife and I first got married, I was working 2nd shift, and it pretty much sucked. The only good thing was that she was able to find a job working about the same hours, but it was such a miserable way to live. Thankfully, I was able to find a new job after only a few months, putting me on 1st shift hours, so we could actually sleep like "normal" people and have the evenings to ourselves.
I would suggest talking to your husband about the possibilities of either adjusting his schedule - such as sleeping once he gets home from work until the late afternoon so the two of you can have evenings together before he has to go in to work.
Also, see if he is willing to either seek a shift change, or even a whole new job. Let him know that it is important and you feel like your marriage is suffering because of this.
If that fails, you might try to drag him into marriage councelling, but that'll only work if he's willing.
I'm hoping that it is just stress from his job that is causing his behavior - and that can somehow be overcome with a little effort and determination.
Best of luck.

Does anyone out there have any good recepies for someone trying to eat right? I hate the way I look, Ive been told that everyone does, but I cant wear any of my old clothes, and my stomach is an eyesore. My dad buys junk, and it is hard to stay away from, when I need something quick to eat. We are going to buy better stuff, but I need a way to cook it first. Im 13, 5"11, and 180 pounds. Only 5 pounds away from a healthy weight, but it sure doesnt look that way. Jenny Craig didnt help me, but maybe you can! (link)

Discover the joys of cooking with Olive Oil!
I try to buy leaner cuts of meat, and if I pan cook them, I use olive oil and various herbs to season it. Deep frying is right out. Grilling is going to generally be better for you, but not always the easiest option - so if you fry, fry smart.
Start reading labels - learn to avoid things that contain lots of high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate, and partially hydrogenated oils (soybean, etc... partially hydrogenated oils are bad).

I want to get a cellphone but my parents wont let me!..Um..What kind of cellphone do you have? And how many minutes do you have each month? And if someone calls u how long do you talk? (link)
|
I have some sort of Audiovox / Qualcomm phone from Verizon. I have more minutes than I know what to do with. I don't give out my cell number to many people because I don't want people calling me in the middle of things because that's really damn annoying. I don't have text messaging because it is fairly dumb.
There are 2 phones on the plan, total per month is about $40 or so, I think (I may be way the hell off on that).
My calls are generally not all that long. I do most long-distance calls on the cell - those might be 15min at the most. Average calls are quick, about 1-5 minutes - often asking questions, getting directions, or updating people on where I am, or letting people know if I'm stuck in traffic.
I have a cell phone because I actually need one. I did not want the cell phone, in all honesty, but there are too many times when it has been needed. I think too many people just want them for no good reason - mainly to think that it makes them cool. Crap - it's a stupid phone - who cares.

Hey! my name is soulsista. I need some good advice on this situation.you see, my friend is going to junior high as a seventh grader. She has only dated twice.Once from kindergarten to 1st grade and another in about 4th or 5th grade.
she really needs to know if she should start dating again or just stay single for now. (link)
|
a "date" in K-1, and 4-5 hardly counts in the grand scheme of dating...
I would recommend staying single. Why bother with all the crap surrounding strange junior high relationships and politics?

i constantly feel like im fat i weigh 108 im 5'4 and 13 i want to slim up my abs thighs and i think they call them love-handles i want those gone but i want them gone fast! can you help me please? (link)
| |
sorry - you're not fat - you're skinny.
|
|
Im 13 and im like 5'3 and i weigh 110.I dont know if thats normal are not but it makes me feel bad when im with guys and i sit down there is like a huge thing of fat om my stomach..and my thighs omg they are huge!!Does anyone know what i can do? (link)
| |
you are not only normal you are small... I think that perhaps you judge yourself too harshly. I know women shorter than you who would kill to weigh that little.

Hey Yall,
This is Hal i am only 13 and im female and I am really confused because you see I dated this guy named Patrick and It was like months ago and I still am not over him..then I dated his friend Leon and we dated for like a month then broke up and then we got back 2gether and he already had a girlfriend and I knew about it but he told me he was gonna break up with her..so i thought he was being truthful..so me and my friend spen the night with Leon and his friend and we made out and stuff then the next day he broke up with me and he is still with the other girl...I still like him and Patrick!!How do I try and make them like me are just think good of me?
Thanks,
Haleigh (link)
|
Well, it sounds to me like you've just been used by Leon. Why would you still like him after he's used you like a tool? I mean, he has another girlfriend, says he's breaking up with her, makes out with you, then dumps you? Yeah, that's brilliant. He's used you, and you let him.
I think you should consider forgetting about these guys and finding someone that might actually care about you, as silly as that sounds.
