Hi I'm Laura. I'm a Christian and I am still at school. I joined the site to help people out. Quite a few of my friends come to me for help about various things and I've had quite a few problems in my life which I've sorted my own way. So I joined because if I can help my friends I can help others and I love helping people out.
Also, I'm a vegetarian, I take my beliefs seriously and I love people so much I just want to help everyone, although I often screw up. everything.

ok i'm just gonna try and clarify some of what trina boo said because she contradicted herself. you don't need to run 3-4 miles a day if you can't manage it, i know i couldn't. with running you should set yourself a pace and stick to it over a certain distance, quite slowly, i don't know how active you are currently so just keep it going as long as you can, run through the pain, it will go away a few minutes after it starts. afterwards walk (don't sit or lie down) until you recover as this prevents lactic acid build up. as you gain fitness you will be able to run further and faster with less effort.
you don't need to use weights or a treadmill, there are some excellent, free exercises you can do in your bedroom. for some ideas, especially the abdominal exercises, try:

alternatively google such things as home free exercise weight loss
lifting weights, more than anything else, builds muscle, if it weight loss you're after thats bad, muscle is heavier than fat.
eat a healthy balanced diet ie you can still have your favourite treats but avoid fatty foods such as red meat, anything fried, processed food such as ready meals, too much salt, sugary foods eg biscuits and chocolate and also fizzy drinks etc.
eat lots of fruit and vegetables and wholemeal bread, rice and pasta, as well as some white meat (not fried), fish,, low-fat milk, eggs, beans and nuts.
also check out some books in a local library or check out www.nutrition.gov for more information on all areas.
DONT eat raw egg, you're putting yourself at risk from salmonella poisoning which is awful, believe me, both my brothers were ill with it for weeks and they only had it mildy but they camped in the bathroom.
hope this make things clearer,
