yes, its a college in Virginia. It's extremely competitive, hence the reason why I'm nervous. I agree I shouldnt get too ahead of myself... especially with graduate school and such. It's just really frustrating not knowing where I will be this time next year.

ahh thanks! I am so nervousss... William and Mary id def. my first choice because of their strong theater program. I would like to major in theater and minor in business so that I can train to be a producer/theater manager. I want to go to NYU for graduate school. My second choice is UVA (another reach school) but there business and drama prgrams arent as good as WandM. My realistic choice is Virginia Tech but I want to go to a more challenging environment and be someplace that every other kid in my school wont be. I live in Virginia so I'm extremely fortunate to have so many great colleges in-state, and I'm sure wherever I go I'll be happy... but W and M would be super great! p.s. One other statistic I can give - I'm 23 in my class (out of 563) which is pretty good... but once again, i dunno if its good enough for w and m! p.s.s. lovethetangible you go to w and m?!? your like my idol! do you like it??? and what was the stats of your friends?? I'm hoping it is true what they say about early admission! I'm crossing my fingers!
Weight Loss	Any teens out there???!!!	Oct 10 2006 03:11 (UTC)	140
I am 17 and 5'5" and last year around May 4th I was 164 lbs I weighed in this morning at 139 lbs. I've been plateuing for over a month and the scale just wont budge! (Im hoping that I go down soon though because I might be holding on to some water weight from my period). Its weird I look at all the 5'5" girls who weigh close to around what I weigh and everyone looks so much skinnier than me! its weird.

Weight Loss	Can I drink diet sodas?	Sep 03 2006 20:23 (UTC)	36
hmm, your right. I forgot were not all from the same part of the country. When I say "soda" I mean "pop", "cola", and basically anything fizzy. Like Dr. Pepper and Pepsi and drinks like that. Of course I would drink them all in their diet versions.
Motivation	People Noticing?	Sep 02 2006 03:12 (UTC)	2
ehh, nobody really says anyhting to me... it makes it a tad hard. I think some of my friends (who are very materialistic and appearance obsessed) have noticed I look better, but they can't puttheir finger on what looks better about me... even though I've lost around 25 lbs. Maybe if they do notice, they dont want to say anyhting... the only reason I htink people notice I look different, just maybe not the weight loss is because I get compliments on pretty oridinary clothes, like "those pants make your butt look good" or "nice shirt" and stuff like that.

The Lounge	Weird--People Are Watching Me Eat Now . . .	Aug 28 2006 04:48 (UTC)	2
I really needed to read this post tonite. So I was in the kitchen grabbing a 60 calorie chocolate stick thingy for my treat for the day. My mom comes in glares at me, looks me up and down, and says "Put it back, you dont wanna gain any of you weight back." So I took my 60 calorie stick and went downstairs and cried. And then I ate it, and it was yummy.

Weight Loss	Late night snacks	Aug 27 2006 05:02 (UTC)
hmm, no expert... but I'm pretty sure if yuo wanted to have a snack as carbs later at night it wont hurt you in the long run since its been decided a calorie is a calorie and it doesnt matter when you eat them. I think the only thing that might effect your weight the next morning would be if you were eating the carbs that make you retain water. .... I think. lol
The Lounge	American Social Classes	Aug 26 2006 04:50 (UTC)	5
I live in the third wealthiest county in the United States (according to the Washington Post). Apparantly they came up with this number from disregarding the really tiny rich counties in Ca. and NYC.... but even having done that it still shocks me every time I hear the number. It especially shocks my parents who grew up, not dirt poor, but really poor. My dad always tells thestory of how he worked for over a year to save up his money when he was a little kid, but then the dishwasher broke and he gave it all to his mom for a new dishwasher.... apparantly it really scarred him lol. Neways, my mom thinks its crazy what people around here buy, because I come home expecting my parents to be able and give me the same thigns the other girls in my class get. Tiffany necklaces, Louis Vuitton purses, Seven for all mankind jeans, Uggs, and the like. The houses in this area (which arent that nice!) sell upwards of half a mil.... and yet NO ONE HAS THE MONEY TO BUY THIS STUFF! And i knowwww this because everyonesssss parents either work for the government in DC, at the pentagon, or are in the Military. All pay decentish salories.... but no whereeeee near to what everyone needs to be getting to balance out their expenditures. My mom came to the conclusion a lot of people in our neighborhood are in debt. They like haveeee to be, theres simply no other way. And my dad said they dont save their money. Which is weird to me because I happen to know like 90% of my families money is in stocks and bonds and the likes. Heck, I just turned seventeen and I've had a retirement fund for 2 years. I'm glad my parents were poor once upon a time. It taught them to save thier money like crazyyyyyyyy. And it also made them stress the importance of saving to me. So frankly, I'll suffer and where plain old AE and abercrombie outlet jeans and forgo the Sevens... at least my family isnt in debt just so I can look good.
Weight Loss	BBQ/Dessert Party - How am I gonna survive?	Aug 25 2006 06:03 (UTC)	7
i say plan on failure. eat super low cals during the day (like not SUPER low... but low) and then have fun at the party. I say dont consider it a "free" day... but think of it as maintence. also... this might not work for you, but it works for since i have a super high sweet tooth, but not so much cravings for red meat. I skip the main course, like the hamburger or hot dog, and just load up on veggies. when i do that i feel like its okay to eat some of the desserts. its a really unbalanced way of eating, but i only do it once in a blue moon. good luck! peee.esss. I read yor profile because looking at your picture it doesnt look like you need to lose any weight at all... and congrats on the 28 lbs! what was your starting weight?
Weight Loss	chocolate and special k... or fruit?	Aug 25 2006 03:51 (UTC)	1
thanks! i like those answers =) the choc bar.... is more like a chocolate sitck actually. It's from hersheys and its dark chocolate and apparantly its halthy for you. I like them because when I'm craving chocolate im just craving the taste of chocolate... not like nine million calories of chocolate that a normal bar would have.
Weight Loss	chocolate and special k... or fruit?	Aug 25 2006 03:34 (UTC)	4
oopsie, I put 1205 originally, but in fact my calorie total for the day is lower, its 1035
Weight Loss	Goals of the under 16 crowd.	Aug 23 2006 06:11 (UTC)	3
mireille how long have you been feeling this way? Most likely this is just a phase of mind that will go away within a few weeks. If it doesnt talk to your mom or other female adult about it. If you do let these feelings get to you theres a possibility you could develop some bad and unhealthy habits that wont benefit you in the long run. Your a teenage girl... and starting highschool this year, yes? Everyone goes through phases where they cant look in the mirror... but that doesnt mean they are ugly. Clearly you are very skinny already, dont hurt your body. Don't forget to talk to someone if you still feel this way in sayyy two weeks. This may mean you might need some outside professional help on how you view your body image.
Weight Loss	Special K Challenge?	Aug 23 2006 06:03 (UTC)	3
I LOVE special k! I seriously go through almost a box and a half a week.. its a bit of an obsession... I think what a lot of people want to emphasize is that this is a "quick fix" diet that could backfire in the long run if you arent careful. My two cents- I feel like when people start dieting they need that boost where they see the numbers dropping pretty fast on the scale.... kind of like a "hey I can do this!" type of pick me up. As long as you realize this diet is just a booster I feel like its a-ok! I also feel this way about other "quick fix" diets... in the beginning the confidence is needed. Make sure you get off it after the reccomended two weeks though and start adjusting to other lunch and snack foods. Althoughhhh if you love the cereal like me... just use it as a breakfast and a snack option.... super yummy!
Weight Loss	Goals of the under 16 crowd.	Aug 23 2006 05:50 (UTC)	7
weird... my gym is closed for maitenance this week too.. And I'm only a little older than you but have you thought about not setting a weight loss goal in pounds? Maybe focus on strength training or improving your mile run or something. At 101 lbs you must be very skinny already and focusing on losing more weight could get slightly unhealthy. If you enjoy the gym I'd suggest putting goals in that area... like pushing yourself to work up to running 20 minutes longer than you used to be able to.
Weight Loss	Negative Calories - Fact or Fiction?	Aug 22 2006 19:36 (UTC)	2
Oh, well by no means would I ever onlyyyy eat the negative calorie foods. I was just wondering how do I record the items that are negative calories? Do i put what calore-count says their calories are or should I just put 0 down because they are actually burning calories?

Weight Loss	help me help my anorexic friend	Aug 21 2006 13:53 (UTC)	7
I dont know the name of the disorder- shes been in and out of the hospital twice tho. She doesnt talk about it ever, we only heardshe was in the hospital through the grapevine.... and we dont know the true reasons shes been in there. We do know hr mom pulled her out. Her best friend thinks its because eating disorders arent paid for on their health care plan... but they have plenty of money.

"So what if I wanna be a fry?!" ahahahahhaaa but other then that- its a total death meal. anddd im pretty sure slurpees arent that high in calories. I actually think its a lil over 100 for a small,
Fitness	Are you Flexible???	Aug 21 2006 01:43 (UTC)	11
I dance, and I am as flexible as my body will allow me to be. I can easily do my side splits but I just can not get my center split. I think that everyone can improve their flexibility with stretching, but some bodies will only ever be able to hit a certain max point in their flexibility. Joints and body structure and so forth are a big deal when considering flexibility.

POOF your husband and children all clean up after themselves and your house is super duper clean... but they get so into the whole "cleaning up" thing they pick up all your stuff and reorganize it somewhere else and now you dont know where it is! I wish I had the Harry Potter year 7 book. =)
Weight Loss	A day of junk but still within my calorie limits....?	Aug 20 2006 02:50 (UTC)
sooo cheat days have been turning into every day recently for me lol. (except today, im doing reasonably good!) But what i learned is that those refined sugars and white carbs and bla bla bla all stick in ur body more then if you were eating a salad of the same calories. So the next day dont be suprised if ur scale shows a higher weight. YOu didnt actually gain weight (if you stayed in your calorie limits)... just the food you ate makes it seem like you did for a little while.

Weight Loss	Hungry - but don't want to eat	Aug 17 2006 17:14 (UTC)	19
hmmm... maybe I will take a stroll down to the grocery store and pick up some lean cuisine. I'm always afraid I'm going to pick up something I dont like and then I'll be stuck with a tiny portion of food I have to eat becasue I just paid for it.
Weight Loss	girly question...	Aug 16 2006 00:56 (UTC)	6
thanks for all the help- I too have heard different things about the pill, that it is just a myth about the weight gain, but I also know people who have had first hand experiences with the pill and swear it was the cause of their weight gain.... I think I'll just have to do some more research. I think all together I'd rather not have to be on "birth control" just because I am so young and just want to stay natural. I have trouble when I do go to the Dr. because they always ask me to write down the dates I get my period... but I never have enough inbetween doctor visits to show them any type of patter or anything. Its weird that my periods tend to never come during the summer when I should be the least stressed out... but I do appreciate the responses to know its not just me with the really unusual cycle.
Weight Loss	Confession	Aug 15 2006 20:22 (UTC)
