Ok so I want to go onto a diet im 15 and I NEED to lose weight for my rugby if i don't im screwed. So how do I explain to her that I need to lose weight, all she says is u to young and u a growing boy, its not like I want to stay on a diet for ever just to lose a bit of weight.

Here's my diet

5-6 meals a day that include carbs, fiber, protein, creatine, vitamins. I drink 8 glasses of water a day and I make sure I get enough salt ( because too much or too less can kill you).

age 20 190lbs 5'6

So the supposed myth that bodybuilding stunts your growth is still going on and on.

I've been lifting for a year now, and I realised, at the age of 17, I'm still not at the height of my dad, who is 5'11. Most of my friends that don't lift weights are at their dad's heights already, and old friends that were once shorter than me are now either my height or taller than me, which sucks, bad. At the same time, I know people who have been lifting weights for years and are at a pretty decent height as well (above 6 feet).

I wanna be tall, like above 6 feet. I'm currently 5'8'' (173cm). I'll be 18 this April. So my question is, has weightlifting stunt my growth or is there something I do not know about?

My diet's real high in protein. and I do drink lots of milk everyday.

Thanks in advance, cheers!

Undecided Question

I know it's a big problem but… lightning doesn't strike twice. She told everyone that she cuts herself and rolls up her sleeves and basically parades the cuts. After people threatened to tell her parents and my school she stopped for a while, but then at a friends sleepover she decided to wear the shortest kind of pajama shorts and she had cuts up her legs. Because of this fact I think that it's all for attention. And recently her friends (me included kinda) have stopped hanging out with her so much because she's just kinda… annoying, and then she spurs up this whole idea that she's on a diet and thinks she's fat (she must weigh about 7st or less). And then Thursday her boyfriend broke up with her and yet she still came to school Friday and just cried all day when clearly any normal person would have stayed at home and ate ice cream all day. She'd only been going out with him for 1 and a half months, so it was a blatant over reaction (they hadn't had sex, all they did was hug and look awkward around each other).
She has a good home life, her parents are very loving and her brothers are younger and nice.
She's not at all poor- has quite a lot of money.
She claims she does the cutting because of stress but she's going through exactly the same things as the rest of the people our age are going through but we don't cut ourselves. I have a friend who has a brain tumor but he doesn't resort to cutting himself.
If you met her you'd understand all this questioning of whether it's real or attention seeking- she's normally always overly happy, which is why she's annoying, she's fairly smart but rubs it in people's faces by asking them what they got on tests in classes then when she finds out it's lower than her grade she smugly says she got higher, but then if they got higher than her she walks off and doesn't say her grade. She's not being bullied or anything like that. She's reasonably good looking.
So why does she do it!?
i wish I hadn't befriended her in the first place to be honest, all this hassle.
Oh, and she's 15.

i went through many lunatic phases this year..last year i spent 6 months inside my house ..doing nothing at all..this was from late december to the beginning of the summer. after the 6 months i felt extremely energetic and i think its because of all that built up energy that i didnt use for those months that i stayed inside..and now it seems to be happening again. it starting at the same time and i seem to be getting more energetic because my diet is all sugar and carbs and i havent been working. my life is screwed up because when i try i try too hard to be someone i think i need to be hospitalized..my feelings, words,sentences..im extremely nervous when i go outside now and talk to anyone ..i dont knwo what to take seriously..i keep eating sugar sugar sugar and i know shouldnt..but its like a binging effect..and the more that i stay inside the more i am like my older sister…she is bipolar and ive become like that..my mother is schizophrenic..im 21 years old but i feel nothng like a 21year old because i havent had the experience of the world outside..i just sit and binge..and then when i go out into world i feel lost and hopeless and nervous and anxious..the doctor prescribed medication for me and i think i need it..im getting worse and worse every single day..its been going on for 2 months..i dont have a phone ..i have bills to pay for..im totally broke,,ive been isolating myself because i dont have self confidence..and everytime i go out everyone notices me..i seem to have this aura that makes people want to be around..but i dont know the difference between friends, colleagues, family, authority figures, anyone..children, ..im losing myself being inside and i feel as though im getting younger by the minute..im always waiting because when i try to focus on school its just all school…no work no friends..and then when its work its all work…and when its friends its all friends…and when its partying its all partying…and then it comes down to balancing everything ..i cant balance

We have been together for nearly 5 years, but I am finding its harder and harder to be attracted to him. He says he cares about the way he looks but frequently he wont even look in the mirror before leaving the house and will often not notice the bed hair wing at the back. He doesn't care what he wears to the point of wearing around the house cheap track pants he has had since he was about 15 (hes nearly 25). We both have gym memberships but her refuses to go and instead will diet for a few weeks and loose weight but that just leaves him thin and washed out.
I really try to help him but it rarely works for long.
He also barely pays attention to me intimately other than the odd platonic cuddle. It really ruins my selfconfidence that no matter what I do or wear he doesn't care. I've tried to indulge fantasies or anything that will help but he's not interested. I know I am attractive I am still young and fit and all that and I still draw looks.
I know he loves me madly and we are thoroughly compatible as people but without the physical it sounds like a friendship to me.
He's very high maintenance and I am happy to keep him but I just feel like I get nothing back other that flat out companionship, unfortunately its the kind I could get from anyone.

I suppose the question is do I hang on and try to help him become the person he says he wants to be and a person I can have a physical relationship with or do I throw it in and risk trying to find someone else.

Please no nasty comments this is a genuine question. Please remember at 24 the physical relationship IS actually important to maintain and not inevitable to fade its inevitable to dull but not disappear.

When I was young I had bad acne all over my face and neck. Now that i'm 20+ my face has cleared up 90% but I've had breakouts all over my body, mostly my shoulders, neck, and back. I get dime sized sores all the time and they stay red and full of puss (not popable). The best thing I can do is throw on a band-aid with some triple antibiotic ointment for a few days with usually helps but I almost always have about 6-7 at any given time. I take showers about every other day with an occasional soaking bath. I haven't changed soaps, or detergent for my cloths when washing. To my knowledge, I'm not allergic to anything right now either. I work in a very clean law office and strip my bed down and replace blankets/sheets semi-often too. These sores are so unappealing and I'm dieing to know how to get rid of them! Any ideas what may be causing them or what I can do to stop getting em? I know my diet isn't perfect but who's is!? Do you think this could be a skin condition? And plz don't tell me to see a dermatologist, they are expensive as heck… :/
Any advice?

P.S. The only other skin condition I have is extreme dryness/flakyness under my eyes I also have been battling for years. Nothing works for that either.

Please help me…I'm so jealous…when I look at all of the celebrities in Magazines…it makes me want to cry, because they got really nice skin, GORGEOUS and really nice MODEL like legs..and really skinny! .. I'm 16, and I'm 99 pounds…I'm really fat…I hate it…I want to lose 30-40 pounds in 3 weeks….is that possible? Oh god, I hope so…Anyone know a really good diet for quick weight loss..? Tell me one, anything. Even if it's really expensive, I really don't care. I'll pay ANY amount of money..Really I would..Everyone always says I look like a "toothpick" Yeah right….I'm damn fat, I'm not a TOOTHPICK! They're crazy! Anyways….This is how I eat, EVERYDAY.

Breakfast … Nothing at all.
Lunch … Nothing at all.
Supper … Sometimes will eat but I usually don't…and if I do I have a little tiny bit…and make my self throw up. And… I never snack at all during the day….
Today.. I didn't eat NOTHING at all…And I also go to the gym or either go for a really long walk/run out side for 1-2 hours. And about the diet thing…I don't know if I want to try that, cause the food might make me fat…And I'm scared of getting fat….Ugh…I wish I can make my self skinny and PRETTY! And change EVERYTHING about myself….Anyways…Help me please…

Has anyone tried a juice fast without using real fruits and vegetables in a juicer? Can I have the same positive effects and weight loss from fasting on bottled juices, such as V8 fusion?
This is just a temporary diet for cleansing and kick-starting weight loss, not a long term thing for me, so don't think that!
Thanks for any help!

Im looking to lose about 7-9 npunds….so far i have been on a diet for about a week. I have been eating smaller meals every 2 to 3 hours (all very healthy I might say…low fat yogurt, nuts, tuna with avocado and tomatoes, peanut butter with apples.and banannas….etc. As well as working out every other day for 30 min on the elliptical and treadmill… My question is does anyone have any other tips…or share your weight loss stories…and how long did it take it for you to see the difference? Thanks!!!
