hmm well to loose weight,
i would say that you should eat healthy food.
like instead of having chips for a snack try having an apple.
try to exercise,go out a take a walk every morning, do sit ups.
acne, wash you face everynight and day,
and if you already do that and still have acne,
go to the store and get a made face wash for that for example clean and clear is good.
and if that still does not work go to a doctor
to get speacial stuff made for you
well hope i helped

I have a topic in my forum about losing weight.

As for the acne:
For me, becoming a vegetarian solved it. I had really bad acne. But right now, I rarely get them. And I think it's because I became a vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, I became one for animal rights reasons. But I suggest you try and limit greasy, meat foods. Or just greasy junk foods in general. And try and eat lots of healthy foods. [Cook them in a healthy way, too. Don't drench veggies in oil or something].
I don't think that there are really any products or creams you can buy to help with the acne, from my experience anyway. I can tell you that I've been to 3 different dermatologists, with all three prescribing basically the same things: Benzaclin [sp?] and Differin [sp?] Those two really irritates your skin, enlarge your pores, and dry your skin out. It just makes it worse sometimes. And they're really, extremely uncomfortable to the max. And I've tried buying acne products off the shelf...they just dried out my skin and gave me results that lasted a day. And if I used them for long periods of time, my skin would become so irritated that it would hurt to wash them with water at times. So what I'm saying is that don't waste your money on dermatologists. Don't waste your money on acne products.
Things to do:
Sleep early. 10PM-2AM is when your skin begins to renew itself and if really helps if you sleep during that time. So sleep in that time, and sleep enough!
Eat healthy foods such as veggies and fruits and try and drink green tea [organic with no sugar added] or green tea with aloe in it [again, get the one where you dunk it in hot water. No sugar] . Limit or avoid all together: milk [it does cause acne and it's scientifically proven], junk foods, greasy/fatty foods, etc. This should also help you with losing weight by the way. No sodas either. They're bad for you anyway.
Try and exercise. It might help you a little with the acne [and with losing weight too]
Try making facial masks at home. Some suggestions are:
Red ginseng jelly type thing mixed with water and a little flour.
Make green tea, bring it down to room temp. Splash your face with it. I know it sounds really weird but green tea is really good.
Warm milk, flour, and honey mixed together.
Do NOT under any circumstances do these things:
Wash your face more than twice a day/not wash your face.
Wear foundation, concealer, etc. Not make up for the entire face. Just eye make up and lip make up. If you do wear foundation and what not, wash it off as soon as you can.
No oil containing face lotion, sunblock, etc. Buy all face products containing no oil, that doesn't clog pores, and is hypoallergenic [sp?] Try not to put much stuff on your face unless it's oil free lotion or sunblock.
Do not rub toothpaste on your acne. It makes it worse.
Do not put lemon juice on your acne. It just irritates it and make you tan in that one spot if you go outside in the sun.
Do not believe the little myths about rubbing stuff on your face to make your acne go away. It usually will make it worse. Sleep early, eat healthy, and wear a mask for 10-15min only [Any longer than bacteria will start to get attracted to your mask, thus no good results]
Any more questions, inbox me and I'll be glad to help.

to lose weight you need to start watching what you eat and exercising often. try and cut out sodas, desserts, and junk foods from your diet. drink a lot of water, it helps speed up your metabolism and will help you lose weight over time. if you are worried about being hungry, try eating six SMALL meals a day instead of three regular ones. this will help you feel more full, while still getting the same amount of food you normally would. as for exercising, you can do just about anything you want. running, swimming, crunches, workout tapes... try to exercise at least three times a week, the more you do, the more wight you will lose and the better shape you will be in. as for acne, you can go to a doctor and they will prescribe you with a treatment that will help clear it up, you could order proactiv, or, if you want something a bit cheaper and easier to get you could go to the store and get cearasil ultra or neutrogena clean and clear. both work very well, however you HAVE to wash your face two times a day and do what the instructions say or it wont work. the products may also make your skin a bit dry, unfortunately this is fairly normal. if that happens, still wash your face twice a day, but maybe skip the lotion or toning cleanser and only do that once a day or every other day until the dryness goes away. good luck.

Well to loose weight make sure you do exercise and EAT RIGHT because if you exercise and dont watch what you eat then it wont make a difference. Go to your local gym or go running. You can also do crunches and sit-ups at home try doing some for at least half an hour everyday, when you wake up in the morning and in the afternoon. Try to make and follow a routine and write it down so you dont loose track. And about your acne try going to the doctors honestly they can help and give you some sort of cream for it!! Hope this helped =] Good Luck x
