Hi Britt!

Thank you for your advice. I don't drink any sodas at all and I drink 64oz of water every day atleast. I am a complete vegetarian (no meat, no eggs, no fish). This my diet: Breakfast: Oatmeal. Lunch: I take a small lunch box. rice + one vegetable curry. dinner: rice+vegetable curry and i drink a glass of buttermilk. I have been trying to exercise veeryday, like atleast 30mins on the treadmill, but now as it is winter, i am not able to get myself out. And I guess my sedentary work (I am at the computer all day) is not helping much.

I am so sorry that i didn't answer it was just that my computer died and I had to get it in the shop. I don't usually just not answer people. Anyways that isn't the point, I'm not sure how much help this can be now but I'll answer it anyway.

Well, it sounds to me that you are doing a fantastic job and even though it seems like you aren't loosing any weight and you don't have a clue to why you are keeping it up...well I have a little trick. Try it for a week and see...don't look at your weight for the whole week but keep doing what your doing and only measure yourself in the morning on the last day after you have gone to the bathroom (gross) but everything puts weight on you...then see. IF that doesn't work and you think you still have extra weight that is there that you could loose then you probably have water weight and there is nothing you can do then "swet" is out.I hope that helps and again I am sorry it took so long!


Hi,

This is Jasmine. I am 24 and 5'4". My weight is 145lbs. I got married in Dec'04 and we had to stay apart for 5months and now we are together. I was 130lbs last summer, I am not sure if I gained this weight over a year or just in the last 6months. I am a Master's in Computer Science student and I am working on the computer for about 10hrs a day on an average. Rice is our staple food with different vegetables (fried or cooked). I am trying to walk 21/2 miles everyday, but haven't been very regular. My HDL cholestrol is very low and the doctor advised me to lose about 20pounds and I am feeling horrible myself. I would really appeciate anybody's suggestions to help me do this. Thank you so much for your help.

Well do you drink sodas?

If you do I can tell you if you switch to just diet soda you can loose ten pounds. Just imagine what you could do if you stopped drinking sodas?

If that doesn't work...try to eat healthy. I know that sounds hard .Example: But instead of eating hamburgers eat a salad from somewhere and instead of getting a soda take a water. Go to subway. Uhh....eat a huge breakfest and a really small dinner. If you eat lunch medium sized...not too big but mot too small. And if you eat fast just try to eat slower so that your brain knows when your getting full. If you have a desert try not to eat it all maybe make a record of just trying to eat half or three quarters. Tip: Try not to eat greasy foods.

IF none of this works try to walk or run three miles every other day. Try to do 3 pound lift weights. Personaly I just do 20 push-ups, 20 crunches, and 40 sit-ups every noght before I go to bed.


Hope that helps. AskBritt:)


i have this little probelem, i am afraid to make out with anyone because i think i will be bad at it. i have never made out with anyone before, and my old bf was a little weirded out by the whole not making out thing. what do i do?
(link)
Tell him the truth. That is the only thing to do. Tell him how you feel about it and if he is as serious as you he will understand and not presure you. Don't let anyone presure you into something you don't want to do or don't think your ready for. Now, for making out I can't help that . That is just something you have to get better at like basket ball ect. I hope that helps.AskBritt:)


I was wondering if any of you had any makeup tips you could give me to bring out my face more. Especialy my eyes. For some reason my eyes make me look like im high all the time but im not!

I have blonde hair green eyes fair skin and sorta small lips

any tips? (link)
Yea I do...
I'll start with the eyes, if you use light brown liner on your eyes and then maybe some eye shadow to match your outfit. But never anything to dark like black,brown,or even a dark blue. Use light colors.
Then maybe put blush on your cheeks but not toooooo dark other wise you look like a doll. Hope that helps.

Tip: Try putting your hair in different styles so that you never get bored by the way you look.hope that helps

O.K... I'm a 13/f to start with
I like this guy named Wade. I started liking him when my friend, Carissa, told me he liked me and I had always thought he was hot but he liked me and I was just... wow. Anyways, I flirted with him. We're both really shy and we hate it when people make a big scene if I like him or he likes me. We don't flirt a whole lot. I really thought that if I just talked to him more and let him know slowly and gradually that I liked him, he would ask me out. I thought it was because he was shy... but a month after that, he still didn't ask me out. But he asked out this new girl named Sarah and she's REALLY ugly. I don't think I'm the prettiest person on Earth but I KNOW I'm prettier than her.
Well, they were going out and than, in science, we had this chemical elements project where we had to partner up and I really hoped Wade would ask me to be his partner but instead, he asked this girl named Shireen. Shireen had said that day that she liked him. She's this ugly, weirdo, skinny girl thinking she can get anyone she wants. Well, a weekend passed and when we went back to school, I found out that Shireen went over to Wades house to "do the project" but they actually made out! I was so upset and mad I wanted to scream but that would be a little outrageous. I really am jealous that he's so shy around me but not all these other girls. Don't even say "It's because he likes you." because if he liked me, he would've asked ME out, he would've asked ME to be his partner, WE would've made out but instead he makes out with other girls and has the courage to ask out an ugly girl but won't ask me out. My biggest question is... WHY? I really like Wade. I would prefer a guy to answer this since they kinda have his point of view but if any girls want to answer and they know the answer, it's fine with me to answer. I just want advice on what I should do. I only have 2 classes with him but his girlfriend only has one with him. I am closer to him... why didn't he ask me out. Thanks a bunch!
Luv, Kayla

Well I don't know what to say but if all you say is true then this guy has a problem asking out pretty girls and he's shy around you. I mean everyone is pretty but some people have an eye for a different type. If the other two girls look alike then you know what he is interested in. I wouldn't get so worried about one guy though. There are a lot of nice,hot, and smart guys out there for you to get caught up with this one. Yay he doesn't like you...so what? He may be attractive but I bet he isn't the cat's meow. Right???do you follow me? Hope this helps.


Volleyball is the one sport I love with a passion. I connect with it so well and I've played it for 5 years. This year, alot of conflicts came up that make me miss many practices, games, and tournaments. So, I talked to my coach about becoming team manager and helping out in practices and keeping score for the team during some games. Things like that. But, last year I sat out at every game because I was a freshman, and this year would be my time to play in games. It's hard for me, but I'm deciding to go with the team manager or actually try out and have the concequence of my coach really getting mad at me for missing so many pracitces... which one sounds better? (link)
If you love it you will play it and if you love watching it you'l manage it. It's sort of up to you. Maybe if you really want to play then talk to you coach and tell them that your ready to play now.
And if you have to miss a practice then tell them in advance. (But try to be comitted because you wanted to play and the team needs you!)


ok my best friend is moving and it is realy hard because we have been best friends and neighbors forever what can i do =( (link)
Keep in touch with her. Write her,email her, call her, visit her and let her come visit you. Im if you can. Just try as much as you can to stay in touch. :)


im 13 female. i weigh aout 130 and im about 5'1'. i want to lose like 15-20 pounds. does anyone have any ideas on how to loose weight. i cant spend hours on it everyday because i am very dedicated to school. do you have any ideas?
thanks (link)
Do you drink sodas?

Well if you do I can garuantee that if you get off sodas and carbonated drinks you will loose atleast ten pounds. It worked with me,and I just drank diet and didn't get off of them.Hope that helps.


ok so heres the thing i just started dating this guy but he has done some bad things like he shopelifted once and he cheated on one of his old girl friends i really like him but i dont no y all my friends told me i shouldnt like him but my mom told me to do what i think is right but i really really like him and i dont think i should and it is just so confussing but he promised me he would never do that stuff agian i just dont no what i should do plz help
♥~*marykate*~♥ (link)
If your this conserened there is probably a reason. Now deep down you might want think about this . (What are the chances of him doing something like this while you are dating him?) When you ask that to yourself I'm sure you will get the answer. your just going to have to listen to your heart. And don't let your friends make the decision for you. It is up to you.


ok... im f/14 and weigh 109.. i was anerexice in the summer and in the begining of the school year... and weighed 102... I have been eating and as u can tell i have gained weight.. But yet i still have the thought that im fat in the back of my head... but as im eating i am getting told i look to skinny more often then i have befor.... i got told i look disgostingly skinny...? but i wiegh 109? idk im kinda confused..... (link)
If your worried about your weight and you know that you may be too skinny or thin then go see a doctor and see what they say. Because you may just be slinder and have tiny bones. But it nevers hurts to check. Hope that helps.:)


I have a crush on this girl who is a sevy just like me. She is 1 or 2 years younger than me. I want to let her know i am there for her, but since she is still a kid, she might think it is wierd. I dont want want her to have negative feelings like that, so i was wondering how i could let her know. Not like writing her a note or telling her in a different language or in sighn language.something that is like flirting but not for love. all fives for any answers that dont say anything to do with maturity or that is dumb. (link)
Talking to girls is hard for guys. If you want to be there for her then just start noticing what she likes and what her intrests are. Then you can talk about them and so on and so on. Now then she knows that you excist and that you are really a cool person so when you do get enough courage to ask her it won't freak her out is much. If you need anything else let me know. Hope that helps.


I am wondering between going to Lindbergh next year or Lutheran South. I know a lot of people at both and I have a lot of friends at both. Lindbergh is more known and has better sport teams that I can get into. Lutheran South has different sports that I want to try there. (Ex: Field Hockey.) Do you have any advice that could help my choice? Also, South has religion classes Lindbergh doesn't. Thanks. Rate 5's. (link)
maybe make a graph. put Lindbergh on one side and Lutheran on the other then put all the good(or bad vice versa) things from both of the schools and what ever one has more well you can figure that out. Hope you make a good choice.


On the lower part of the left side of my back I have this hard lump. It almost feels like a bug bite whenever I poke it, but it's just really hard. It's shaped almost like an egg. I have no idea what this is, does anyone else know?? (link)
I don't know what it is but if it hurts I would go see a doctor. It sounds serious and you might be alergic to something so your best choice is to go see a docter.
Hope it gets better!:)


Hi everyone!

I feel terrible. Allow me to explain. I'm Todd, and I'm 15. A friend of mine (female) was cutting herself and that she was really depressed. I went to the counselor at my school to make sure that she didn't do anything hurtful (like suicide).

When she came back the next day after I told the counselor, I found out that she was on a new anti-depressant: Zoloft.

On Friday, I found out that the principal called her down and said that she wouldn't be allowed back in school unless she had a note from her psychiatrist. She told me she might be out for a while. :-(

Some of my friends said I shouldn't tell the counselor (on the day before I told the counselor), but my parents and several people said that I should. I was pretty nervous, and I didn't want her to commit suicide or do anything terrible.

I feel terrible, like I made her go away. ;-( She's not sure when she'll be back, but I feel like I committed a crime or killed someone. :-(

I'm also afraid of what my friends might say when I go back to school tomorrow. Most of all, I feel terrible since I won't see her, and I don't know how long I won't see her either. :-(

Any comments, advice, please feel free to say so.

Thanks,
Todd (link)
You did the right thing you know. I know it can seem scary but you helped her from making some teriible decisions. You helped her from messing up her life forever. Don't let anyone say you did the wrong thing cause I would have done the same thing. And don't let anyone make you look like you were the bad guy for getting her help that she must have needed. Atleast you know that you helped someone that was in need of help and getting it. You could call your self a hero. :) I'm sorry I can't help an any other way than saying you did the right thing and that is what matters.If you want to talk fill free to comment me back. Hope everything works out.


hey i have a couple of questions n if you can answer them that would be great

A. where can i find a white sequinced shrug those short one in the sleeves i checked wet seal but they didn't have them in white and i checked nordstroms do you know where i could find them??? (id rate 5)

B. are white shrugs still 'in'

C. where can i find a distressed denim mini that is not too expensive besides looking at abercrombie, hollister, forever 21, nordstroms, pacsun do you know where i can find one

(ill rate 5) (link)
i d say you could go to white house black market, or urban outfitters. Id also say u could try american eagle outfitters or buh yah kuh. or even you could try delias. As for the distressed skirt id say try buh yah kuh, or guess. Gues is a little pricy though. I could also even tell you to look at loehmanns if you have ione only because u can find cheap seven jeans that are adorable. Id also say try askas and neimans. Also try bebe sport just because they mihgt has something cute, or the united colors of bennetton. Maybe even rave, or fast forward, even utopia for you or target no joke. COOL then hope this helped.


I'm thinking about a sort-of emo/hipster/scene-style hair cut- but I have no idea what to do to it.
My hair's a little longer than shoulder length and almost perfectly straight naturally. There is a slight wave at the very bottom. My hair is think and light to medium brown. My hair has a very next shine and is very healthy on a whole. My face is heart-shaped and I have a low hairline.
My main idea right now is to get asymetrical bangs that go across, and get it cut shorter in the front.
Any ideas?
thanx (link)
Most girls go for guys with shaggy lokkin hair. Have your hair cut to the lenght below your ears. If you have it any longer my friends say it look stupid but its up to you . Hope that helps.
