Is it true that if you drink alcohol on a regular basis- say, 2 times a week.. that ur body can handle more than someone who drinks only once every two weeks?

Well, since ur body would get used to alcohol, I guess that could be true.

However, it all depends on your body physique. Some people just can't handle alcohol while some can drink the night away.

I know for sure that bigger people (bigger in size; height, width, w/e) can handle alcohol better than smaller peeps. :)

Iam 17 and i weigh 149 and iam about 5 foot tall and I was wondering what kind of diet should I go on i've been walking my dogs for about a mile lately,but I was wondering what kind of diet to go on besides cutting down.

Are you muscular by any chance?

If so, then you should worry about losing weight.

Now, if you really want to lose weight, you HAVE TO control what you eat.

You can't expect to lose weight on exercise alone while you're eating all your favorite food like ice cream, coockies, etc.

Jogging is the best and the simplest exercise you can do without sacrificing too much (esp. money)

Basketball helps, too.

So my advice would be to control what you eat (low cal/fat) and exercise more.

Trust me, I lost 30 lbs. doing this.

Thanks in advance :)

Porridge

Oatmeal

and.... hmph.... I can't think of any more right now. :P

Gender: Male

Okay, so there's this girl I really like (E), and this other girl (B) my best friend likes. My friend really loves B, he's told me a million times, and he's loved her for a really long time. I've loved E for a long time, not as much time as my friend has liked B, but still pretty long. Ever since I told my friend I love E, he's been nicer and nicer to her. Which I wouldn't mind if it was just the friendly type of niceness, but it's not. It's the "gotta crush on ya" type of niceness. I've asked him about this, and he says he's treating her exactly the same as he always has, but I've noticed a difference. I just am really confused. Do friends normally do these kind of things?

Thanks,

-Fyce

If you really like that girl that much, and what your friend does to her bothres you greatly (as it seems), just go up to your friend and tell him to leave her alone.

Or ask her out. What are you waiting for?

does anyone know any specific workout i could do to eliminate a small upper ab bulge? there's muscle underneath but i need to burn off the fat. thank you :)

If you have membership at a gym, try using the machine for torso rotation.

If not, then
1) Lie down on your back
2) Raise both legs about 1 ft. above the ground
3) Put your hands behind your head (like when you're doing sit-up)
4) Keep your upper body off the ground (like when you're doing crunches)
5) Alternatively bend each leg while turning your upper body from side to side.

OR

Plain sit-ups would do.

i rolled my left ankle and it sort of hurts. I can walk on it, but it hurts when i turn my ankle in. I'm positive i didn't break anything or fracture it because it just feels a little sore. So i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to make it heal pretty quickly because cross country starts soon and i don't want it to bother me. thanks =]

I've had my ankle rolled pretty badly once, and I know what i tell you will work for sure.

1) Try not to engage in ANY physical activity.

2) Sit/lie down and keep you ankle on elevation. Try to keep your ankle at an elevation above your heart. (your leg would be stretched out, o.k.? Use a pile of cushions or pillows, etc.)

3) Put an ice pack on your ankle. The maximum time the ice pack should be on the ankle is 10 min. So keep it on 10 min., take it off for a few min., then put the pack back on.

Hope you feel well soon. :)

I wasn't sure what catagory to put this under. My 8 year old daughter has gotten bubble gum stuck in her beautiful long hair. What can we do to get it out without having to cut any of her pretty locks? Thanks!

I believe I've read this in a magazine once... I think it was TIME.

You can use peanut butter (creamy, preferred) and try to rub the gum out.

hii. i was looking for some advice. i'm not sure if this is normal or not. but i've always disliked my body, i've always considered myself fat- even if everyone says i'm fine and its just muscle. but i constantly count all of the calories in my food. i'm extrememly self concious...and i wish i wasnt. once in awhile if i feel gross after i eat i'll purge it up. but it's not like i do it constantly. once in awhile i'll avoid eating but yet other days i'll eat regular. i don't weigh myself every single day.. but i'll stand infront of my mirror and point out my flaws and how gross i am. i think i'm the "fat" one in my group and i hate it because all of my friends are thin. do i have a problem or is this okay? help pleasse . thank you

Sounds like you're well on your way to having at least one of the main eating disorders.

Just live carefree.


If EVERYONE tells you that you're thin and you're all muscle.... then you are most likely not how you think you are.

Food is God's gift. Embrace it and enjoy it!!!

ok well i has lots of acne on my chin and my forheadi was wondering what i could get that really works but doesn't cost alot of money any thing would be great

Thanx in advance!

The acne pads would work nicely. (can't remember the name at the moment)

You could get those at Sav-On or just a random drug store for $6~7, and use them for weeks. :)

I really like this girl but am to afrain to ask her out or talk to her from fear of rejection. I really like her and want a relationship but i dunno what to do. Any advice?

Tell her your true feelings.

Rejection is just a tough process you'll have to endure should this happen.

If you don't tell her your feelings, then you'll find yourself going around a loop.

In case of rejection, remember that she is not the ONLY girl in the world!!!

And who knows? She might have same feelings about you!!!!

P.S. Before you ask her out, just make sure that she and you have a well-established relationship as just friends. (i.e. she knows you quite well, and vice versa)

I just want to say your not cool answering questions in smart alec ways and sarcastic ways on here. I mean its rude, wastes peoples time, and its so unoriginal. I mean like theres so many people with those kind of columns, and they do it just to make people feel bad or ACT COOL. Ok so stop ok??? And since I have to ask a question: Why are you soooooo unoriginal?

You're pretty stupid.

If you want to act smart, then at least get your grammar straight, o.k.?

Don't come babbling to me with your pre-K grammar.

You got owned!

14/f. i really want to buy a tredmill so that i can exercise everyday without leaving the house and while watching TV. but there are some problems.

1) my parents don't want to buy one becuase they are expenisive.

2) and i definitaly don't have the money to pay for one all by myself.

what can i do? i really want one so that i can stay in shape during school. i can't go running outside, so i really need this tredmill. what can i do?!?!

thanks so much for any help that you can give me

You need to change the "fat person" mentality.

You need to move around if you want to exercise, and stepping out of your house would be the first step.

I don't blame your parents for not paying for treadmill because it's FREAKING expensive.

You're very naive for thinking that you could exercise when watching TV....

If you still want to buy a treadmill, then follow Gary Coleman's advice: CALL CASHCALL!!!!





AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way....

YOU'RE FAT!!!!!

How do I know this??

You told me!!!!!!!!
