hey im 15/f and about 130 pounds. I want to lose a few pounds so i can look good in a bikini. I want to lose my leg "fat" and i want a flat tummy. See I cant get "dedicated" it doesn't usually last. No matter what i do i cant seem to lose weight diet or no diet.. i cant lose weight or gain it and i want to lose it. I want to lose 10 pounds. Any Suggestions, or tips to get dedicated? What foods to stay away from? Thanks!! I'll rate 5s! (link)
Hey girl you need to seriously get into pillates (did I spell that right)? Any ways for the first few weeks you will feel like what is this but you will start to get use to it and you will feel an emotional change for the better and you will get the tight stomach and legs you were wishing for because they work everything!! find a local class and join do it daily or even a few times a week..GOOD LUCK.


I've been at my job for several months now, and I just got switched to a new position within the job. I'm 21 and female, if that helps.

My problem is that I can't get along with the person who is training me (I'll call her Kim). Kim likes to micromanage, be in control of everything I do, and waste my time.

For example, I asked her how to edit the books and she said for me to do it myself. So I told her exactly what I was going to do and she said to go ahead and do it. So I finished up, put the book away, and started working on something else. She stopped me, told me I had done it wrong, and had me do it all over again.

I've caught her in mistakes and she'll never admit she's wrong. She always find a way to turn it back on me. We have keys organized by letters and numbers, and I asked her where the SVC keys were. So she told me wrong and I let her know. She said I asked her where the LFE keys were and that I was wrong and shouldn't "make mistakes when I'm asking questions".

It's not any one big thing. It's just a bunch of little things that go on all day. I'm pregnant and hormonal, and I end up crying in the bathroom several times a day because sometimes she is just flat out mean to me.

How do I deal with this problem? I really need it to stop. I'm afraid to tell the supervisors because Kim is the only black person in the office, and I'm afraid they'll oversimplify the problem as racism and miss the point completely (they do that a lot). Please help before I quit or go insame. Thanks. (link)
Well I will try and help you out with this one, first off you sound like the kind of person people take advantage of (it's not a bad thing) because it happens to everyone, but you have to stand your grounds and stick up for yourself. To be honest with you, I think (Kim) will appreciate that fact that someone had the guts to tell her, if you think that people will think your being racist then they will, but simply let them know that wasn't your intentions, Just tell them your sick (literally) of being bossed around, let them know you enjoy the job but you have alot to deal with and it is hard for you to cope with your manager, and than tell (Kim) exactly how you feel, when she tries to say your wrong tell her NO THIS IS WHAT I FEEL AND IM SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED YOU BUT IM SICK OF BEING WALKED ON. anyways sorry this may or may not help hope it helps. Get the courage stick up for yourself thats what you have to do to get what you want!!!!

is that really big? How can i lose weight? (link)
Hey I was reading your questions and thought I would give some good adivice other than, oh go work out it helps because it's really not that easy I have tried dieting and all of that crap and it really doesn't work. So what I did that really helped me, I joined weight watchers now you don't have to be over weight or anything because I am not but I simply wanted to learn how to eat healthier so that in the future I could still take care of my self I have lost so much!! and it's so easy go for it it's all about self motivation, you have to really push yourself!! GOOD LUCK...


Okay...for the past 3 years I have dealt with cutting and eating disorders and up until recently the problems have been under control...but I have been like..relapsing? I guess that'd be the word. When I get extremely angry or sad the only thing that comes to mind is cutting...idk why! I don't want to die, but it is so easy to relieve pain that way. Of course I haven't cut myself because even when I think about it, my mind wanders which brings me to another point. My mind is always off somewhere thinking about things...things that scare me or challenge me causing me to just be a very nervous person. I can be ecstatic one moment..and then become depressed and hate life the next. I have told my Mom bout this becuz I think I may have ocd or be bi-polar or sumthing but she says it's not true and I am fine...I don't FEEL fine. I feel like a mental case and I don't want it to escalate. I want to think like everyone else, but I can't...everything reminds me of something no matter what it is...all I do is think of past experiences, things I want to happen, things that probably will happen...and I day-dream A LOT. What should I do? Nothing in particular is wrong in my life, but I feel unhappy anyways. What should I do? (link)
okay well I have been in you situation many of times, it is not easy go get over the horrible habbit or even thinking about it. Im sure you already know that you have depression and a severe case, anyways it's very wierd because you feel sad for no apparent reason. I would like to help you because I know exactly how you feel. Some people believe in medication, For me on the other hand, I am a very religious person so I believe in something like self meditation, finding out who you are, this may sound cheezy but it really works first you should definately see a counsler it is always nice to talk to someone but second you should take time to find out who you are, write down your goals and dreams even if they are really small and one by one find ways to avoid cutting set goals for yourself you diserve better than what you are giving yourself credit for..sorry this may not be much help but if you need any one to talk to (I am always here) :) hope I helped alittle.


I am 19, and am nervous about applying for a job. I have no previous experience, and am concerned that most places would rather hire someone younger with no experience b/c they have a good reason not to have experience. I don't want a great job, just like at a video store or somehting. Do I just go ahead and apply? What should I do? (link)
Okay well when i applied for my first job i was 16 and yea I had no experience but the only reason i got hired is because i have a bubbly personality i think that if you want a job in retail or at a video store or something you just need to be really bubbly in your interview and be confident and yourself because i dont think its much of the experience that gets you the job its you!!!
