okay ive been peeing really pale yellow pee. like so pale its almost completely clear. And it doesnt do it all the time, like it will do it then it wont for like the next few times i pee and then it will. Im not dehydrated. Is there something wrong with me? I really dont want to go to the doctors.

clear pee is good, it means you're hydrated. when it's really yellow, that's when you're dehydrated or not drinking the right thing.

I'm 16/f, weigh around 120, and I'm 5'4. I know I don't need to lose weight but I have a problem coming to terms with the size of my thighs. I used to play soccer and still currently run track. My thighs are huge (muscular) and constantly people are telling me that I look like a gymnast and such. I hate it so much, I wish my thighs were smaller yet still muscular. Running doesn't help haha it only makes me more muscular while not downsizing the size of my thighs. I'm guessing the only way for them to become smaller is to change my diet? Or would that not work? And if it could work, what changes should I make to my diet to lose the extra leg? Thanks :)

the only way you can get rid of muscle is to stop working out, which would just make you gain weight. i have the same problem as you because i've been doing track for 6 years so my thighs are really muscular too.
you can try making the muscles leaner by doing pilates and yoga. it's supposed to enlongate your body so your muscles won't be as bulky. it seems to help

Exercise:
-walking/biking 6 times a week, 50 min. moderately
- maybe swimming laps at least 1-2 times a week
-100 to 200 crunches daily
-100 trunk twists daily
-20 squats with weights

Food:
breakfast- cereal (special k/cheerios) fat free milk, or egg whites with whole wheat bread
-NO white bread
-lots of fruit
-lots of water


If I do this until the end of summer, before school (aug. 31), can i lose a good amount of weight. I think I weigh about 145 or aruond there, and i would really love to be 130. could i be at least 135 or around there by aug. 31?

yeah as long as you stick to that, you could definetly do it. in order to keep up the good work, just think about looking good at the end of the summer.
good luck!

im happy i guess with my body in general but i hate my stomach fat, its gross. i have a big belly and love handles, and thats what makes my body gross. im so determined to get rid of them. i've been doing situps, backwards sit ups (to loose the love handles) but i dont seem to be getting flatter, my fat is just getting harder (muslce i guess?) but it still looks like fat, not like a 4-pack muscles, i want 4 pack ab muscles instead of just a big blob of fatty muscle, does anyone know what im doing wrong?


oh and i dont really wanna loose weight i mean 10 pounds would be good but i dont think im that fat, just my stomach. thankss.

you're not going to lose any fat by doing situps. all you're doing is building muscle under the fat. you can only lose fat by diet and exercise. sure, muscle burns fat faster, but if you're not doing anything to burn the fat you're not going to get a flat stomach.

what you need to do is cardio: running, dancing, biking, even something like jumping jacks. alternating between walking and jogging is said to burn fat quickly. exercise regularly and do toning exercises on top of that, and you should start getting some results

good luckkk

I'm doing a report for school so please don't say "we can't answer this or else we will banned". I'm not planning on doing it I just need facts for my report. Is it true that cigarettes and weed fill you up therefore you're not hungry anymore?

no not at all. you might feel kind of full at first because you're ingesting something. idk about cigarettes, but weed will give you the munchies, if anything.

do a lot of people die from smoking pot their first time?

well obviously if you're highly allergic to it it could kill you. if you're allergic to peanut butter, it could also kill you. unless you're allergic to the marijuana plant or it's laced with something else, which could happen if you get it from someone sketchy, it's fine

i am 15,
i didnt get my period all through april, and i got it may 2. but it was a very light flow, and it only lasted for two days. ive never ever had any type of sex in my life, ive only had one boyfriend and all i did was kiss him. thats it. i dont even know how to put a tampon in! and it hurts to anyway. but how come that period thing happened? like im not pregnant. i cant be. that would make absoulutely no sense. ive never even touched anything down there. so yeah. that makes no sense. but this like never happens. in my head i feel fat. but thats just my mind confusing me, because this is my natural weight ive always had a bit of a little stomache. but everyone does right? but anyway im confused..please tell me what is wrong with me!

don't worry about it.
i haven't had mine since february, and i'm not sexually active either. the first few years of your period it can be really irregular, so you're probably fine

In the last 2 weeks i have gained about 12 lbs
and you can tell!
I have a class trip coming up and we are seen in bathing suits! Its in like 3 weeks!
I really would like to loose around 15 lbs , because now I am over weight.
When im home and bored , I cant stop eating!
So i am wondering, what can i do to loose at least 12 lbs , and stop eating as much as I do.
Thank you
xoxo Jessica [F,14]

that happens with me when i don't have track, i get bored after school and eat. it's a hard habit to break, but if you make yourself busy after school and occupy yourself you won't be as tempted to eat.
it's important to wactch the foods that you eat too. don't eat any white bread, processed foods, soda, or too much carbs. protein is good, as well as whole wheat, fruits and veggies, and drinking a lot of water is supposed to help you lose weight.
for exercise, the only thing that will make you lose weight is cardio. things like sit-ups and lunges won't get rid of fat, they just tone the muscles underneath. a good way to lose weight is to walk and run. walk for 1 minute, jog for 3, and keep alternating. that burns fat faster than distance running. a fun way to lose weight is to dance, or try pilates. there's a bunch of stuff you can do.
good luck

in my thighs, is there any way to exercise away fat AND muscle?? because i have a very lean frame, but i havnt always been really skinny, so now i have a lot of fat and muscle in my thighs, can i take them both away to get my lean figure back??
Thanks:)

it's pretty impossible to get rid of muscle and fat at the same time, because in otder to get rid of muscle you have to not use the muscles and they'll get smaller, but then you won't lose any fat. the only way i can think of that would work would be to not exercise your legs much and not each much either, but that's not healthy so my suggestion would be to work off the fat on your thighs by getting good exercise and eating the right way. leg muscle is good, you don't want chicken legs, so to make them look nice, you can try pilates or yoga lengthen your muscles to make you look leaner.
i'm trying to do the same thing as you right now, so good luck lol

I recently bought cowboy boots, they're not like full-blown boots, just casual, but I do not know what to wear with them.

This is what they look like:
http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/rampage-slouch-leather-boots-brown

So what do I wear with them [as in bottoms]?

Links appreciated, if not, thats fine.

those would cute with either denim shorts and a white button down, or over skinny jeans with a loose fitting shirt

where are some really cute clothes to wear in the summer...they can't be to expensive also a really cute bag would be cool i don't care about the price for the bag.


thankssss!!!

for summer, i like to wear really casual summery clothes. stores like pacsun, delias, aeropostale, and urban outfitters have lots of cute stuff for summer. sun dresses are really in style, as well as babydoll shirts and safari style clothes. i personally like nautical style things.
for shoes, gladiator style flip flops are really in style. wedges or espadrilles are really cute for getting dressed up.
for bags, tote bags are really summery and are good for the beach or every day. get a canvas one, i have some i use them everywhere. old navy has basically all of this stuff too for pretty cheap

Prom is Saturday. so i need answers ASAP.
Okay. My dress is coral, like kinda red, kinda orange. it starts short and gets longger. I have brown eyes, medium skin tone, and dark brown hair. What kinda of make-up should i wear? and what colors? and just that kinda stuff. anything would be helpful. i have no idea what colors and stuff. so thank you!

since your dress is bright, you should go with warm. bronzey makeup. do your face makeup the way you usually do, then put a bronze cream blush on the apples of your cheeks. for your eyes, use brownish black eyeliner and create a smokey eye by smudging it, then use a shimmery brown color eyeshadow, then lots of mascara. for your lips, keep it simple with just some clear lip gloss.
have fun!

i need song feel-good, sing-to-in-the-car, fun songs for a summer playlist. they don't have to be recent songs, nor do they have to be any certain genre (although i don't think many hardcore or metal songs can be classified as "feel good" or "fun", haha). i'll provide some examples that already made the list:

- "all i wanna do (is have some fun)" by sheryl crow
- "big yellow taxi" by counting crows
- "pocketful of sunshine" by natasha bedingfield
- "four minutes" by madonna ft. justin timberlake
- "boys of summer" version by the ataris

so yeah, you catch my drift. help me out (:

summer nights- lil' rob
doin' time- sublime(or pretty much anything by them)
rollercoaster- blink 182
memory- sugarcult
everything is alright- motion city sountrack
jammin - bob marley(or anything by him)
tailor made- colbie caillat
hands down- dashboard confessional
closer to the sun- slightly stoopid
foundations- kate nash
gravity- john mayer
upside down- jack johnson
knock on wood- the mighty mighty bosstones
lyla- oasis
me and mia- ted leo and the pharmacists(it alwayss puts me in a good mood)
can't behave- courtney jaye
here comes the sun- the beatles (personal favorite)

there are toms more but this should be enough lol

If i use baby oil while in a tanning bed will it work or no?

i don't think that's such a good idea, it could make you burn. use the lotion they have at the salon, or use tanning oil because straight up baby oil tends to make you burn

i met a boy from another town in december. weve talked on the phone and on facebook since, but now we havn't communicated for two whole weeks now. it would be so akward to call him, but hte thing is, i really miss him. i think about him all the time. i even have dreams with him in them somtimes. part of me wants to tell him i miss him and am always thinking about him, and the other half of me thinks that might freak him out. but he could be feeling the same way but not want to admit it. what should i do??

you don't necessarily have to call him and be like i miss you! you should leave him a post on facebook casually just like hey whats up i haven't talked to you in forever. maybe you can start talking again and if he likes you he could tell you.
it doesn't have to seem like you're vlingy or anything, just start talking to him again:]
good luckk

im a freshman in highschool
turning 15
im about 5'
[yes im short]
but i have really small boobs
i know its normal to have small boobs
especially if your a small person
but im only a 32A
and it bothers me that i cant even fit into a 34A
my other friends:
one is about 5' 2' or so
and she wears a B or C
also, i have a friend who is almost the same exact height as me
but she wears a B
it just bothers me :/
what should i do?

don't even worry about it. i'm 5'4 and i'm a 34 A.
they'll grow eventually, but in the meantime a good pushup bra always helps :]

i have recently took a long break from dance (long story...) but anyways i need to find something else that will make me happy.
i was thinking of joining xc or track..
any other suggestions??
thanks,

i think you should try track. i dance and do track and i love it.
personally i don't want to even try xc because i'm not a long distance runner at all, but hey you might be. track is fun because there are a bunch of different events you can do, it's not all running.
like there's the field stuff and hurdles and long jump. give it a try, you might like it :]
