^^^^this Look at the big picture not day by day.

^^^^^this OP did not really gain 7 pounds.

I push myself and make sure I go ahead and workout. I usually end up having a great workout.

Hair dye - fine piercings ears.........fine piercings nose......... If they are 16 and if it was the small one belly button............15 and older fine. My daughter wanted one when she was 14. She brought it up and I said if you still want it when you turn 15 (which was 3 months away), I will take you. If I would have…

I love the pink on you, but the third one is a close second

Last year my then 15 year old daughter made a wonderful powerpoint presentation explaining how a sweet 16 bday party is nice and all but a trip to Italy would even be better. I thought about and said what the heck!! We are off to Italy in a couple of months, she is bringing three friends and I get to see Italy for the…

I do love how some seem think there is a right or wrong answer. There is not, it's all subjective! 80's

That is debatable!

huh? 13% if far from seeming like flat ground.

maintenance = maintaining your current weight.

People don't understand it's not that hard to lose weight by working your butt off, that was me. I have lost 46 pounds since November and losing it by hard work and exercise was not that hard. The hard part is changing your eating habits and that takes time. MY eating is way better now then it was in November, but it still…

How are your numbers for the week? Look at the big picture and see what the weekly numbers are. Are you under for calories for the week, same with fat and all the other numbers? If yes, then it's not as bad as you think. Yeah, you would be better off if you stayed on track during the weekends, but so many people give up…

There are plenty of stompers, no big deal. Don't worry about and don't think about it, no one else in the gym is.

Your goal is to improve you health/ fitness, look the way you want to and live a healthy lifestyle. Keep focused on that while at the gym. Most people are not even paying attention to you it just seems that way to you. Enjoy!

If all schools had the policy your school does and enforced them, then I would say go for it. But in most schools it appears that kids use them (especially texting) all the time when they shouldn't. I dare parents to look at the detailed texting/calling on your phone bill of your high school kid and see the times it's in…

Excellent example. I don't how many Facebook photos of teens I see with them drinking. DOn't even get me started with the teen girls and how much they will show in their pics. As far as teaching parents, that is exactly how I got into doing seminars at high schools, to teach the parents. :)

Don't get me wrong, my initial post about snooping is for parents snooping. No way in hell does a school have the right to do this or take a kids cellphone and snoop. I do believe that schools should use cellphone signal blockers inside the school so that kids can not use a cellphone during school.

No, you don't have to snoop, that is fine. But there is nothing wrong snooping either. Many teens have been saved before it was too late from bad things they were into because of stuff found on their Facebook page. Just saying.....

You're still too young, must have watched it as a teen. THe movie is sort of cult classic. :)

So you don't know Mr. Hand then? lol

And for the parents who don't think it's ok for a parent to invade the privacy of your kid's facebook account or cellphone! Who pays for internet? Who pays for the cellphone?

LOL, great reference. But that's it, schools have that guy who can get them cellphones.

Very true! It's amazing how parents at their friend's house reaaly don't watch what's going on. Also regarding cellphones. I know at high schools kids can go the phone guy and get a prepaid cellphone no problem. The phone guy use to be the concert ticket guy. lol

I was talking about a 13 year old in this case, most 13 year olds have them and many parents don't know they do. :) I've been in IT security most of my life and I do seminars for parents in our HS district "ONline safety and our children" You would be surprised.

You may think they don't have one, good chance they do!

And I can bet you that there is a 50% chance he has one now!

I love this response, short sweet and simple and most of all correct!
