ok so I asked this question but I will again
I am a 15 year old female I am around 5'6 5'7 I cant remember which one!I recently gained about 10 pounds. yuck! I gained this weight because I stopped all my activities and a few more personal things due to family problems. I loved my body and don’t get me wrong I still like my body. but I want to love it more.. I have long legs and they don’t look as good since I’ve gained the few extra pounds.. I weigh 140 now and I want to weigh 125- on the bmi that is still a healthy weight!
now here is the problem... I am going home in 15 days and I want to look the same as when I left--- in order to do this I need to lose 15 pounds
My mom says that if I eat only when I’m hungry and very small amounts and walk with her everyday for an hour that by the time I leave I will be happy-- but I don’t believe her-- what do you think? is that possible - or is she just saying this to me
thank you sooo much for your help

I have another question...well I am 16 and I have been through a lot to make it up to this point. I have been to the point where it was just me and my mother and we were struggling...lyke sleeping under boxes, shelters, home hopping and erthing else. Well with that lyfestyle I really didnt have much of nothing. I always got teased. I got food thrown at me, bullied to the highest degree, degrated, put down, erthing and anything, and its been lyke that all through my lyfe. Well somewhere in there I lost my self esteem. I mean now at this point in my lyfe I have literally almost now self esteem. I think very poorly of myself. I mean why not, school projects was hard cuz I never got picked in groups, never got invited to sleep overs, or nothing, basically I never got to really enjoy my lyfe as a child because it was painful...but point is, Im tired of having low self esteem becuase its affecting a lot of things up to this point, and I know lyfe is cruel and harsh but how do I get it back

hey there. i used to be pretty darn thin until i reached the age of about 10 i believe and i have been a little overweight since then. now i have lost all confidence. btw, i am 18 now, going to be 19 in october. around 2 years ago, i was 160 and then i went down to 149 bc i was working out a lot but it was frustrating bc it took me months to get down to 149 in the first place. so then i gave up and gained back the 11 lbs i lost and added 10 more lbs! at that point, i was really depressed bc i went up to 170 lbs and then last year i started just working out a lot again and then i lost a lot and went down to 145 and i was so proud of myself. then i start college and well i gained the "freshmen 15" PLUS TEN again!!! so now im 170 again. i have a bf and he makes me feel like im beautiful but he sees how much it bothers me and when i get back to college he is going to help me lose a lot of weight. but i wanna know what you did to lose weight. i mean people who have lost around 50 pounds!

Lately I never see her eat. If she does, it's a couple pieces of fruit.
We're in marching band and practice for eleven hours a day. She doesn't eat anything and starts to feel dizzy constantly.

The other day it was 100 degrees outside and we were rehearsing. People shoes were melting for christs sake!
But she was out there in a hoodie.
It scared me. :/

When I asked her about it she attacked me saying this,
"Why does everyone always think something wrong with me!?
I wasn't hot, and I like hoodies.
They actually cool you abit because all your sweat stays in the hoodie and sweat is cold.
And I do not actually have freakin' eating disorder.
And it just sucks when people acuse me of it.
D:<"

I didn't mention an eating disorder.

Am I just being paranoid?

My son nearly drowned 2 days ago, he was in a pool, and he was under water for a good 10 seconds before i got to him, i could see his face under the water, and he looked so panicked and scared, and was flailing and trying to swim, but just couldnt get to the surface, and everytime i think about it i just want to cry, and have several times. He doesnt care, at least not that he has mentioned to me (he wanted to go back in the water within 2 minutes of me pulling him out), but i keep picturing this in my mind...how do i stop?

Is it unhealthy, and why?
Does this bother you, men? or does it turn you on when a woman doesn't change her drawers often?

I'm looking for tear-jerking stories from real life people. There are millions of tragic deaths each year, so I want to read some of them. Stories of how a kid died and how his parents, friends, and family reacted. How unfair the world can be without better medicine.

(I don't want to go to the hospital and ask people about these sad stories)

I need some exercises (preferably weight lifts) that will help build muscle mass. I need to gain more weight for football and I definitely need more muscle mass to increase that weight.

For 2 months I've been on YAZ birth control and I recently had sex four days before I started my placebo pills ( a condom was used for back-up). I realized I ended up taking 25 active pills this month, b/c when I took my first pack, I started on Sunday (but my period started on Saturday). I didn't want to waste that pill so I took it and ended up taking 25 pills not thinking and just following the flow of the pack. My period (if I had taken 28 pills) would have started today, but I took my last placebo pill tonight as usual and I'm hoping my period is pushed out till tomorrow. I mean is there even a slight chance of pregnancy, if I took my pills correctly everyday and not missing a pill and used a condom as a back-up?

Well, can a person have nearsightedness and farsightedness in the same eye? I also want to know if people get bifocals to correct problems like this. Or is there another reason for essentially having two different prescriptions for the same eye?

My current assumption is that people get bifocals if they have myopia, but then as they start getting older, they get presbyopia too, so they need the bifocals to correct the problems. Or, they were farsighted and nearsighted in the same eye, so they needed bifocals to correct the problem.

Are there any other reasons for wearing bifocals besides what I just stated above?

I don't think this problem applies to me--I am just curious.
