Q: Dear Advicenators,

I'm a 13 year old girl who is turning 14 in January. My hieght is appromiatley 5'3" and I weigh 103 lbs. I feel fat and ugly and I am determined to loose 5-10 lbs. in the next month or two. What do I need to do? I feel so gross, and when I'm flirting w/ my cush and he offers to give me piggy back rides I always have to turn him down bc/ i think i'll break him. How do I loose weight fast, and not to much exercising because exercise=muscle, which is heavier then fat. I want to build my stomach and my butt and thighs so they are extremely tight and fit. I want to have the perfect body, what diet can I go on, or simple quick exercises that only loose fat and build ur stomach fat, no muscle! Thank-you. I'll rate

The best all-around exercise is to just run...believe me I know from experiene. I am involved in sports and I can lose weight really fast if I set my mind to it. So jog...then slow your pace down a bit....then speed it up. Alternate it, because that actually helps you lose more weight. Build up your time each day until you can go for thirty minute runs. Just make sure you never exceed what your body can take. To tone your belly, do crunches (at least 50 a day and then build it up), to tone your butt, do squats, and for your legs, do some type of leg press (do you have access to weight machines?) But the biggest tip I could give you, is not just to cut down on whatyou eat - you should always follow your food guide pyramid - but just MAKE SURE you drink plenty of water. It rids your system or toxins and it will help you lose weight better than anything. I hope I helped!

Q: soo ive been with this guy and he likes me and i really like him. but he broke up with me on monday because he didnt want a girlfriend right now he wasnt over his x. i was pissed but he said he still liked me and ive been trying hard to play hard to get. but its hard i want to be with him and i dont know what to do. He calls me everynight and told me to wait for him but im not going to wait forever I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!
i feel like im a rebound girl.

This is a tough one. I guess, in this situation, I would try as hard as I could to act like I didn't care. I know it's hard, sweetie, but you have got to show him that you are worth WAY more than that. Sooner or later he will see, and guess what? He'll come crawling back to you. They always do. But don't jump at the first opportunity. Make him wait awhile. Let him see what he's missing. Also, if it helps, go shopping! Anything to get your mind off of it! Hey, and wear some little hottie outfits to make that boy drool! Either way, his dumb self will realize what he's lost....so you have a good time, show him that you are desired, and that you CAN get along without him! :)

Hmm, I don't really know what to say about myself. I try to be nice to everyone and help anyone if I can, because I have just always been that way. I am a freshman and I like to think that I am wiser than I seem and I can at least TRY to give you some advice. I am a christian and I am involved in a relationship. I am in LOOOOVE in case you wanted to know! (hehe.)

I like sports, painting, working out, shopping, all the gurrly stuff, and spending time with my "one-n-only." I looo0o0o0o0o0ve watching movies and some of my favorites are Anchorman, Billy Madison, Idle Hands, Little Nicky (any Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell), Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, The Notebook, Titanic, Back to the Future, SCARY movies, and all those little cheap 80's movies.
