Q: So, I hate my legs.
I'm not overweight or anything, but my legs don't look their best. My biggest complaint is the higher part of my inner thighs. It's so hard to explain, but i'm sure you guys will get what I mean. They're just not toned (for like the 50th time), and, instead, there's just a huge section of fat between my legs. I've cleaned up my eating habits a lot and i've been working to get into shape a lot more in the past 2 months (Pilates, Cardio, a lot of work on the exercise bike, etc), and my legs HAVE gotten smaller, but it's still really hard to get rid of that stupid inner thigh fat. I know it's nearly impossible to target specific areas to lose fat, but that's why I thought the Pilates would help, and...oh, I don't know what I thought..
Anywho, the kind of things i've been doing to (try to) help include squats (somewhere around 100/day), upside down splits (50-100 (I read they would help on some website like a year ago)), and about 30-45 minutes on the exercise bike.
Should I be doing more cardio? Is that my problem?
Ugh. Enlighten me, please.
Thank you!!
Also, if it helps, I'm 17 years old, female, about 5 feet tall, and I weigh around 117-ish lbs.

Well, you can do as much body weight exercises as you want to tone up BUT if you aren't doing a good amount of cardio, the fat is just going to cover your beautiful tones muscles. Do your exercises WITH cardio, it's the most effective way.
I'm not an expert, but there are tons of things on google to help you figure out how much cardio you need, how many reps of squats, etc.
You also need a good CLEAN diet. Clean does not mean eating "leaves" all the time.
You should eat complex carbs, protein and healthy fats.
Make it interesting, healthy doesn't have to taste boring or unappetizing. Again, there are many recipes for healthy weight loss, how many calories to take in, etc.
Remember, muscles are built at the gym, and revealed in the kitchen.
A clean, healthy and balanced diet, consistent cardio in conjunction with toning exercises and patience and hard work, you will get the body you want.
Also, check out Cassey Ho, from blogilates/pop Pilates.
Her workouts are amazing and effective. I built arm muscles in about a week or two with her 100 workout. She is vibrant and easy to relate to. She can smile through every workout while you're all over the place. She also has delicious recipes and focuses on healthy weight loss with a toned body.
Tone it up! Is awesome as well for cardio and toning your body. You WILL work up a sweat.
I hope you reach your goal!! GOOD LUCK HUN!! ^_^

Q: How do i factory reset my windows 7 desktop computer?

Hello.
If you want a normal wipe, then just buy a Windows 7 CD and re-install it by booting it. If you want a full clean system wipe, Download GParted(IT"S FREE) and burn it to a CD, then boot that up. Then, you can delete the entire volume in the partition and reformat it to NTFS Format(Windows uses NTFS), then install Windows 7 with the CD you bought. If you cannot use the partition you formatted, delete it on the Windows CD(There are options there) and reformat it directly from the CD.

Q: Hello. I have had sex with my blyfriend before and i thought that i was pregnant. So i looked up symptoms of pregnancy and theni started feeling them. Could stress cause this to happen .

Hi!
Yes, being paranoid about being pregnant can actually cause you to feel CERTAIN symptoms ( not the obvious ones.) Please use condoms and/or other forms of birth control. Relax and don't stress about, that could also make your period come late, which could in turn cause you to get paranoid about being pregnant all over again. It's a vicious cycle, so please be careful and calm about it. You should get it soon. If push comes to shove, please get an accurate pregnancy test and see if you are pregnant or not.
Good luck, and best wishes. :)
With love, Tia B.

Q: hi, my boyfriend broke up with me over still wanting to cut after a two week clean and asking for his help after he stopped cutting. Appparently I am a liar and he considers himself a major part of my depressio. He is ignoring me, and he did this two days ago and has said some really mean things when he decided to text me in the middle of the night and again this morning. Hes still talking to my friends like normal but is obviously distressed, as he keeps texting me and he wouldnt talk to anyone most of that day at school and he lashed out a lot... he does that when hes sad. He says when i cut it hurts me, and when he stopped cutting for me I was so proud and tried to stop for him. is that a reasoanble reason to break up with someone? He seems to think I still cut all over. He said some nasty stuff to my friends about me, even though I am the only one being reasonable. He is bitter and angry. How do you get over these things? Do I evenwant him back after he became so upset over such a petty and normal thing for me? Cosidering therapy again. He loved me, or so he said. I feel broken, like im to weak to make him beleive i really stopped. I scratched myself on the wrist that morning, and from across the room he saw me tske my braclet off and fix the bandages. He was quuiet, and he couln't even look at me...I feel worthless. My ex foud out and hes trying to get me to go out with him again, and my bbest female ffriend said she owuld date me. I am bisexual, so was the boyfriend, not the ex. I guess he is now... Why cant i just stoop and its ruining his life even when i dotn do it now.. and i know he is. Im so scared. Sorry for the length, i really need some help.. I dont miss his taste in music but that is acctually aboout it, I really miss hiim. He was my best friend. My friends are trrying to help but they dont get how much it hurts to be broken up with over something ive been so insecure about...

Hi. I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time.
Maybe he broke up with you because he's hurt that he could stop for you, but you couldn't for him.( he thinks you didn't.)
Maybe it hurts him, because he used to cut, and he doesn't want that for you. Although that's healthy and a good thing, he doesn't seem like someone you want to be with. I think you answered your own question about wanting to be with him, after he got so upset like this.
You wouldn't want to be with someone saying nary hubs about you over something so delicate and sensitive, such as cutting. You simply do not go Around bad mouthing others, especially not your ex. Maybe he don't mean it in a hurtful, but is trying I get your friends to talk to you about the cutting.
As for the cutting, I'm not judging you or trying to attack you, but please darling, talk to someone. I'm glad you are getting therapy, and it does not define you, or mean that you are weak for wanting to take care of yourself.
I think you might want to let him know that you are okay and are trying to stop cutting. It doesn't happen in a day. It doesn't matter if you relapse or turn to your old habits, what matters is that you keep on trying until you are completely clean. He should understand that and support that and support you. Not get mad and break up with you over it. I'm sure he means well..
Whether you want to be with him again, is your decision.
But choose a partner that will cherish you and support you and love the real you, someone that will be there for you through thick and thin.
You deserve someone who will love you for who you are and help be the best version of yourself.
I hope that helps you feel better if you decide to break up for good, and that they're is someone even better waiting for you.
Good luck, and best wishes.
With love, Tia B.

Hi!!
Okay, you can either tell them the truth, or tell them that this guy friend you hadn't seen in forever came up to hug you and give you a kiss on the forehead or cheek, because you guys have been really good friends.
No biggie, tell them the truth though. They will be more upset if they find out the truth AND you lied about it then they would be if you tell the truth.
Remember, the hardest thing is sometimes the right thing. Do the right thing.
Best of wishes.
With love, Tia B.

Q: 8th grade/f
So there this really cute (in my opinion anyway) guy on a sports team that I go to for school (our middle school and the local highschool practice together for diving/swimming). Problem is, He's a sophmore, and he may/may not have a girlfriend. Here are a few minor signs that he may like me, in chronological order:
1. When we first met last year- for the same sport -he and another guy were asking me and a friend what grade we were in. They guessed 8th and we laughed, responding with the fact that we were in 7th. They both said, each of them referring to one of us, but the one I like was looking at me, that they wished that we were in 8th so that they could be with {hang out with} us 'next' year.
2. At our first practice this year I was a bit late so I ran up, and when I sat down in the group circle I made eye contact with him and he very slightly nodded his head up and smiled at me.
3. At the same time one of the other higschool guys was asking for our (the middle-schoolers) names, and then the guy I like noted aoud that the only people he already knew were the highschoolers... and me (It made me kinda happy because that must mean he remembers me, right?)
3. At the end of that same practice I was talking to my coach and he kept looking over. Eventually I took notice and watched for when he would look over again. So within a few seconds he looked over, realized I was looking, then smiled and looked away.
Okay, I know I'm getting my hopes up, but I have a serious crush on him. My guy-friends, who have known him through other sports, say that he's cool and nice, but he used to be'kind of a jerk'. I just want to know, what are your guys' and ladies' impressions from this, and do you have any advice for me?
Thanks!

Hi!! Crushes!! Fun ^_^
Well, based on what you said, it sounds like he might like you. We can't be sure because we haven't seen it for ourselves etc, but he sounds like he definitely thinks of you in a good way. He either likes you too, or thinks of you as a friend who he potentially wants to "get to know" or something.
Keep your eyes peeled ( for the jerk thing, and other signs that he may like you)
Remember to be yourself and stay true, you don't want someone who doesn't like the real, but someone who likes the real you!!
Last but not least, be careful if he has a girlfriend, try finding out before making any moves. You don't want drama.
GOOD LUCK GIRL!!
With Love, Tia B.

Hi!!
Here are some good ideas:
•Wear a sports bra or swimming suit top that doesn't emphasize the breasts. The sports bra or swimming top should be fairly tight but comfortable, enough to hide your breasts under clothing
•Wear compression shirts (you can get compression pants too.) These are just tight fitting t-shirts that support your breasts as well as compressing them, and can be considered more comfortable.
I hope I helped a bit!! ^_^
Good luck!!

Q: 20/f
Hello, I am feeling conflicted right now.
Let's just say, "mall #1, with department #1" and "mall #2, with department #2."
I got an interview with Nordstrom at mall #1. I passed my phone interview and the recruiter told me they would like me to come in for a face-face interview. They had to find out when the department manager was available and said they will call me back the next day, and if they don't call, to call them. The next day, they didn't call, and I did what they said, I called. Nobody answered so I left a message, my name, and my number.
I looked online and found out that department #2 was available in mall #2. I got so excited because I heard that it was hard to get into that department since it's never open. I wanted that department because I am able to sell anything in that department. So, I applied online since the HR didn't get back to me that day.
This morning, I got an email to schedule my phone interview with mall #2, so I did. 30 minutes later, mall #1 called me and scheduled my face-face interview. My face-face interview is on Wednesday, and my phone interview is the day afterward.
Department #2, I would love to work in that department, I feel like I would do very well in. Although, it's located at mall #2, which I am not fond of. There's not much traffic, it may be hard to make goal since the store is commission-based. Mall #2 is surrounded by a lot of construction, which would be hard to get it.
Department #1, it would be a challenge to sell in it. Many people tell me not to worry because there's always plenty of traffic and it'll be hard not to make goal. I am not too familiar with that department. But mall #1, I have worked at that mall for awhile, I like the traffic, I like location, and it is definitely easier to get to.
What should I do? Should I just cancel my phone interview or should I wait it out to see which one I want, if I get offered the job?

Hello there.
From what you told me, I think you like store #1 at mall #1 better. The traffic is good, meaning it keeps you busy and pays better, the location is good etc. It seems you would be more satisfied with the first store. If people say not to worry, then I wouldn't, unless you feel really uncomfortable doing the job(too hard, etc). If you really want store #2, then all the cons just might be worth it. It all depends on what you really feel more drawn to or is more worth it.
I hope you find your answer!! GOOD LUCK!! :)

Hi.
First, I'm hoping you are using condoms and are being safe!!
You don't want a pregnancy scare.
If he didn't precum or cum in you, then you are most likely
Not pregnant. Just be sure that he didn't precum in you, which would require paying attention and his honesty. No precum or cum in you in any way=no pregnancy
Don't stress, or your period could come late.
Relax AND BE SAFE!!

Q: What are some good games to play in a pool with about 26 people. Boys and girls. Age 13-14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello!! Thank-you for your question.
You can play many games, but the few I can think of are
Water polo, "Marco Polo" and a game I found online that
Might work.
4. Safety Simon says
Number of players: Four or more
Aim: To practise a range of personal survival skills.
All the participants get into the pool and spread out. The instructor – or supervising adult – acts as ‘Safety Simon’. ‘Safety Simon’ calls out an action (ie, a swimming or water safety skill). For example “Safety Simon says float on your back”. Participants then do what ‘Safety Simon Says’. When ‘Safety Simon’ gives the instruction to carry out an action without saying “Safety Simon Says” first (for example “Float on your back”) then whoever does it is ‘out’ and has to leave the water. The last person standing in the water is the winner.
I hope I helped some!! Good luck!! :)
