Im not fat or chubby but i want to tighten my muscles in my thighs. Do you know any exercises that help target that area? Also, of course i need some of the healthiest foods to eat so im not taking up all of my energy so can you do some research on exersices and Dieats and everthing I need to make my diet book. Thanks...
Ill rate high if you help and make a good workout for me.
p.s. dont leave out any details!

From personal experience, the most important thing to shapen up your thighs and such is by basically running/jogging/walking/riding a bike, etc. Even a 10 min jog/walk each morning or afternoon, or which ever helps. I try to take walks as often as I can, and I noticed that my thighs are beginning to seem more muscular and more in shape. Those are the best excercises to use. I also suggest eating LOTS of fruits and vegtables. They keep you energized and are also very healthy and filling.

I really really like this guy and he is like everythink i ever wanted(cute, can talk to him, and actually has friends...lol)well, he recently broke up with his girlfriend and she was really not "loving" and never was by him when he wanted her to be. well, he knows i like him and when we hang out sometimes he flirts and i think he likes me, but when we r talking online, i have to be the one to say, "hi, whats up," and doesnt seem interrested at all, he only really talks to me when i bring up a good subject, but when i dont have a good conversation starter, words are minimal...and sometimes doesnt resopond to my little questions like, "how r you doing?" I dont wanna sound desperate and be like,"why arent you talking to me? or do you not like me? should i leave you alone?"...things like that...so im asking...should i keep going(if so what should i do)...or let him go and find someone else?

Ughhh, I know how you feel and I HATE that with a passion. My crush of 3 years always used to do that. But honestly, I don't think it's that he's not interested. Some guys are just plain out *boring* online, and sometimes are a little to shy or nervous to talk to you. Now in my experience, I had the same exact problem as you. I'd ask him something and he wouldn't answer. Or I'd IM him, and then we'd talk for like 2 min. then there would be nothing to talk about. My suggestion is limit talking to him online (that's what I did and it kinda worked) maybe call him so you guys can talk one on one. Or just stick to talking to him in person. That's what I did, and it turned out my crush DID like me. Unfortunatly, it was the wrong time and I had already found a girlfriend lol ;)

I am going on a field trip tomorrow with my fellow freshman classmates and I'm a bit self concious about something. You see, we are going to a theme Park (Dorney Park... It's in NJ. Sort of like 6 Flags) anyway, they have a water park and I am going to be wearing a bikini. I'm a bit self concious about my back. I have a few pimples on my back- not big ones but they are very red and noticeable. My hair since it is long covers up a few of the pimples but I'm still a little nervous about going out in public like that. I've always been covered. I've tried a few acne medications on my back and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a way of covering them more or helping me so that I am not as self concious about it? Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunatly, if your going swimming, I can't suggest to have someone put coverup on them (Say your mom or sibling?). If you really feel that self conscious I'd say maybe wear a little tank top on top. My friend has the same problem and we were at Dorney on Monday for a class trip, and she just wore a small little tank top on top and she looked fine. Maybe a cute pair of shorts would work to. Unless you feel confident no one will see, I think that's a good choice. I'm sure you'll think of something

Im not very positive about myself. If im at the mall with my best friend or something (shes SUPER pretty) and guys are like all over her I feel really bad. I try everything to make myself prettier. I have some acne and im really skinny but not aneroxic. Im going up to west virgina to see this guy next week.. What can I do to make myself more prettier?

I have the same problem - I'm very insecure about myself because I am overweight, and most of my friends are drop dead gorgeous. You may not be as beautiful as some other girls, but it's all about confidence. Right now I am getting help for self esteem and confidence. If your having that much trouble being yourself, you might need to see someone. Don't worry it's just a suggestion from personal experience, but my problems may be more serious. My favorite quote is "If a woman has confidence, she's sexy". Unfortunatly there is nothing you can do if guys still aren't all over you or attracted to you. Like other people said, maybe try some acne medicine. I use proactiv and my skin is fine. I think it's good your thin, that's a start. Just try to be yourself the best you can. I learned that trying to impress someone or becoming something your not, in the long run, it's not the right idea. I also learned that confidence DOES go a long way. If you don't have the looks, make sure you bring your personality out the best you can. If you can't impress people from the outside, you have to give it your all from inside and your personality has to shine. If you need anything else, let me know. I know exactly where your coming from though, and a lot of girls experience things like that
