Can I make it by Sept.?
I start school back in Sept. and I'm going to be one of the new kids at school so I'd like to go to school being and feeling confident (I'm really self-concious), not conceited though.

For my reward...
If I can maintain a healthy lifestyle, and keep myself fit and upbeat, I think I deserve a reward. I'd really like a tattoo with two of my favorite kanji characters (I speak Japanese).

Okay so I start on May 19 and I'm down 25 lbs. I'm exercising regularly (not constantly) and I eat all my calories, give or take. I just want to make sure this is okay- since it's averaging about 3-3.5lbs per week. I just don't want my body to shut down (even though i AM getting all my calories) or when I get to my goal…

Do you think a preteen shouldn't try to stay healthy?
So many adults underestimate kids and teens and think they should shut up and eat their ravioli. I for one think us preteens should be able to exercise and portion our food. It's not like I'm anorexic. What is your opinion?:flowerforyou:

George Carlin on Aging...(AMAZING!)
George Carlin's Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. 'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going…

size and spacing of meals
Hi, I recently heard that breakfast should be your largest meal of the day, lunch second biggest, and dinner the smallest. Mine usually end up just the opposite, but I'm wondering what you all think. To all you big losers out there - how do you structure your meals and which are the biggest? Do you stick to 3 meals a day,…
