Okay let's take this one step at a time...overweight. Well personally, many people tell me I'm skinny and have a great body, and honestly I don't do anything extreme to take care of my body, like a strict diet, or lots of exercise. I simply take care of my eating habits. I don't go out to eat a lot, and when I do I order from the kids menu, and don't get drink refills. Homemade food is generally healthy, and I only drink soda on the weekends. I drink tons of water, and I don't eat much junk food. When I'm in need for something to snack on, I get Baked chips, or 100 calorie snackpacks. I don't really exercise to tell you the truth, but maybe what keeps me fit is playing Dance Dance Revolution occasionally. So find a healthy food you like [ I love spinach! ] and a fun way to exercise! .... Now for your curly hair! My hair is just wavy and EVERYWHERE! I straighten it everyday with a CHI and have excellent results, but if straightening isn't your thing, buy curling mousse and/or anti-frizz cream! Experiment with products, see what works best for you! Curly hair looks ADORABLE in pony tails! Then with a cute ribbon or headband and your ready to hit the streets! =) Now acne! Well I don't have really bad acne, but I do have acne! My acne routine is St. Ive's Apricot Scrub, Neutorgina Oil Free Acne Scrub, and Aveeno Foaming Clear Complexion. I do this every morning, night, and when I'm in the shower! And once or twice a week I do a natural home remedy for acne [ you can see it here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AipBwomd8iX2zQ0yYvb9_uPsy6IX?qid=20070825201330AACQGbC&show=7#profile-info-tDhgk5QXaa ] Works WONDERS on me. No fashion sense? EVERYONE has an inner fashion sense somewhere! When I get dressed I pick a cute piece [ a top, colorful necklace ] and start adding things that match! earrings, shoes, bottoms! And I just turn out w/ a cute outfit. But if you're really out of ANY ideas try www.polyvore.com ! Explore the outfits by stores, colors, everything! Get ideas, substitute items for your own! Let your creativity shine! I may know what you're going through, at my old school I was a disaster with glasses, acne, frizzy hair, etc. Moving to a new school helped me change and I feel so incredible! No I'm not the school's most popular girl, but I'm just so happy with myself! By reading magazines, following online advise, giving up my shyness, I really came out of my shell, and I hope you can too! Confidence goes a long way, it sure helped me! Well I hope this helps you! If you need anything else emal me at pink_uggs@yahoo.com! <33 xoxoxo best of luck!!

ok..
i know that being overweight really sucks! im 14, and to deal with that what i did was i eat less.. and at first i thought it would never work, because i dont eat alot to start with.. but i cut back on my eating, did about 100 crunches throughout the day, and walked up and down the stairs quite a few times.. this was a complete shock to me b/c i thought i was doing sooo little excercise, but in 2 and a half weeks(after doing this everyday) i lost 8 pounds! And now all i need to do is lose about 18 more. And since school has started i have gym to workout too.
Curly hair.. i have it to! and if by curly you mean frizzy get a non frizz prouduct, or buy a ceramic hairstraightener. Its a very good way to spend your money, trust me!
Acne can be fixed by using a product.. im not going to reccomend any, because its different 4 every1.. do to your doctor, and have them perscribe you someting.. chances are it will work better for you.
Try going on some websites for the stores where your friends, people you know or you shop. heres a few:
www.oldnavy.com
www.garage.com
www.aeagle.com
And try empire cut shirts to hide aany weight problems. Good Luck!!

A plain baking soda and water mask is by far the best you can do for acne prone skin. Mix a water and baking soda in a cup until the consistancy of a thinner paste. Pat on face (do not rub) and let sit till it hardens then rinse off. This has done miracles for my sensitive acne prone skin!! Plus it's all natural! Sometimes I add a few drops of tea tree oil too. Once or twice a week is plenty for this treatment.
THATS ALL I CAN DO BUT HOPE I HELPED
PS IM SURE YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF FASHION SENSE

Ok, for the diet, dont worry about it. Ur only 12 dont mess with ur body. Cut down on the sweets if u can. Start with easy things like, walking the dog, kicking around a soccerball ur garden,blaring some music in ur bedroom and dancing ur *** off.Join as many sports teams as u can.
If u dont condition ur hair, start doing it. This softens ur hair and untangles so it wnt be as curly and messy.
After ur shower, toweldry ur hair and squeese a small bit of serum into ur hands. (Rub ur hands rapidly so it warms the serum) Rub it thru ur hair, especialy the ends, and blow dry.
Ionic hairdryers are good for frizzy hair.
Then straighten ur hair.
If u dont like all the heat use, then simply buy a hair mousse,toweldry ur hair as normal afer the shower and apply mousse to ur hair scrunching small parts in ur fist. When ur finished scrunching all ur hair...Ur done! Go off n do ur buissiness.
Acne, i herd mixing baking soda with water until it forms a paste, and then applying it to ur face (but NOT rubbing in) helps to get rid of acne.
Try out new clothes, u never know what ud like. Maybe jeans,with a fancy belt, and a babydoll style top (loose around the stomach area, so u wouldnt have to be concious) nd any nice pair of sandals,pumps,anything!

can you first tell us how you want to look. you're 12. It's too early for any makeover. if you want to get rid of the acne I recommend Neutrogena and Clean&Clear products. if you want to lose weight start an exercise regime. i take dance lessons because I don't feel like I'm exercising even though I am. How do you know you have no fashion sense? I've seen plenty of people wearing clothes I wouldn't dream of wearing yet they are perfectly happy. Are you comfortable in the clothe's you're wearing.
