[x][edit] - Since being on Advicenators there have been a lot of repetitive questions and innane ones at that. Because of this, I will not be answering as many questions as I had before. To put it simply, some people need to think for themselves. To learn things in life we have to fall down from our hardships, learn from them, and get to our feet again. People aren't just going to spoonfeed you on how to live your life.
To conclude, I'm a level-minded columnist who's not likely to judge. Although I may not understand some situations due to lack of experience, I am an understanding person and will do all I can to help. To people who are "not the brightest crayon in the box", I may appear blunt and brutally honest. Stupid questions deserve stupid answers.
And yes, stupid questions DO exist.

I've decided I want to be more in shape and eat healthier. I don't neccasarily need to loose weight, 5'4" - 135 lbs. But I just want to tone up and eat better. Can anyone suggest work out plans / healthy eating habits / or websites to give me this information? It is greatly appreciated, getting ready for summer/prom =]
Thanks

1. Do circut training at least three times a week. What you do is you combine cardio workouts (jogging, jumping jacks, jumping rope, running, etc.) with strength toning exercises (crunches, weights, etc.). Gradually work your way up if you're a novice from 30 minutes up to an hour for every suceeding week.
The cardio burns the calories, and doing toning exercises directly after the cardio focuses the calorie burning in the desired area. It's very effective.
2. Drink a lot of water. The recommended amount is 8 glasses a day. That is a lot to ask for, but try your best by drinking a glass before a meal, during a meal, and after a meal. It gives you the impression that your stomach is full, so you can tone down your appetite when you eat.
3. Believe it or not, eat more often once you begin to adapt this lifestyle, I'd say after three or four weeks. Why is because once your body begins getting used to your active lifestyle, your body will need more energy in order to keep up with you. Where does energy come from? Food.
4. As for websites, there are plenty out there. There aren't any I can recommend off the top of my head, but explore official websites like magazine sites of Self magazine, etc.
Hope this helps.
