Hi there!

Based on what you've decided to share, I would definitely not lose such a large amount of weight in 2 months. According to dietitians, the healthy weight loss range is between 2-3 pounds per week, meaning that 2x4x2 = 16, you should aim to lose only about 16 pounds by Christmas. HOWEVER, it all depends on your height and physical activities! Don't push yourself too hard - instead, use an online BMI calculator and reach for a healthy BMI. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hey there!

I'm so glad that you're brave enough to do something about your body. In the process of gaining lean muscle mass, beware of nasty shortcuts! I remember when I was too skinny and needed to gain more weight- stay away from the bad carbs and junk food because even though the first few months are going to be tough, it'll get easier later on!

Now, onto your question, www.bodybuilder.com is an awesome site if you want to learn about building muscles. At the same time, try to find foods that work in your favour, www.livestrong.com can definitely help with that, along with exercising! Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi there!

It seems that you have really done your research beforehand. After an abortion, it may take up to 6 months for your menstrual cycle to settle, and lighter periods may be a result in the process. However, I don't think this is the case since it's been ten months. The other option is more likely, a widely experienced symptom of using birth control pills is lighter (usually 1-2 days) and much REDDER or BROWNER periods - so check for those symptoms! Cramps are also normal, along with heightened emotions or no PMS symptoms, depending on which pill you're on. Also, a less pleasant side effect of estrogen-rich birth control pills is severe migraines, do you have those? As for the abortion issues, you definitely NEED to go to followups, they're so important! Please do take care of yourself, I hope this helped.

Hi there!

Having your period a little early or a bit late is perfectly normal, so don't worry! Brown periods usually occur at the beginning of your period or, in your case, close to the end. Again, that's perfectly normal! Weight fluctuations can also affect how heavy/light your period is. You only have to be worried when your period stops coming, but you're fine for now. Just remember, the highest chance of getting pregnant is right before your period starts, so when you have sex then keep close track of whether or now your period's late. Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I know that it's hard to understand your mother's intentions at this moment, but my best suggestion would be to listen to her - she probably sees something in your former best friend that you don't just yet! I remember when my own mum banned me from seeing a guy friend, turns out he did have some pretty serious issues and I'll be forever grateful to what my parents did for me. You're only 12 and your life's only beginning to bloom, don't be too worried over one guy at this point. If you really did appreciate his friendship, you can still say hi to each other in the halls! Hope this helps,
