It is not say you should eat 900 cals every day..Just once in a while..Most of you here I'll bet have done that through religous fasting or illness. That doesn't hurt you. When you eat different amounts of cals it keeps the boddy hopping as it cant get into a maintence..No one would ever suggest 900 cals every day..as we all know an average of 1200 is the magic number..:)

try changing your excersies and cal intake..1750 is maintence for me and I get in 3 miles a day + weights..I have to be at 1300 but when I platue I can go up to 1800 and start losing then I platue on that and drop down again..Constantly take the body by surprise seem to work..evey three weeks I change something..seems to help...

My beautiful 17 y/o (see my profile for her pic) Has never had a date and we activly discourage any thoughts of it. She's funny, smart and lovely..She will meet the right boy when she's ready and she wont have a string of "ex's" when she does.

She works hard in school and this year alone over a dozen of her sophmore class mates have had kids and another 4 are expecting over the summer..Some of these girls are as young as 14. ~~

Jasmine recently won 4 medals for art shows and has work hanging in 3 different museums. She is has never needed a boyfriend to prove her self worth to her or her peers...No one teases her about it..Boys don;t give her a hard time..She wears a silver ring on her wedding finger stating..TRUE LOVE WAITS.

Its easy to go without than undo damage early dating can cause..1 mistake can last a life time...

my5sky..I hear you on the next one...my 8 year old girl is as precious as It gets~~~ THAT child I pray about~~ (my oldest boy is a ladies man..the baby..? he just wants to shoot everything he sees with his laser)

Weight Loss why water? Apr 22 2006
01:17 (UTC)
Also thermodynamics play a part...The body uses alot of energy keeping the temperature at 98.6 If you are constantly cooling the body with cold water, the body has to work to heat itself so make sure that water is real cold..that can burn alot of calories over the day...
Weight Loss What is a good weight for someone 5'5? Apr 18 2006
12:46 (UTC)
OK One thing I feel you need to know, is that alot of "super skinny" people are realy NOT happy about it and would kill to have hips and breasts..My poor sister is 36 years old 4 kids and stands at 5 feet even..she weighs in at 86lbs. She eats like a pig most of the time to..lol..This is her weight and she struggles to maintain it. (She has dropped to 76lbs before). Its causes her ALOT of self esteem issues and health problems..So some people are naturally thin...(my 5' mum only weighs 96 lbs)..Mu sister gets so fed up with people assuming she has an eating disorder..yes..there are a few but alot of people are naturally overweight and some are naturally underweight...its no pic-nic being either...

Make sure to use a different cloth/ cotton ball for each eye to prevent the spread of infection from one eye to the other or back again...Eyes can clear up or heal at different rates...

I ate 2000 cals..but I ain't worried..I had a BLAST with my kids...and I do good most days so a day off wont kill me..lol..I ate 3500 or more cals a day for 10 years and gained about 60lbs..so I'm not going to lose sleep over today...I will work hard all this coming week though...I will make sure it doesn't become a habit or Ill be back where I started...(That pear  & raspberry pie and french vanilla ice cream was worth it..but 1 piece is enough..the rest will go to the rig so I wont be tempted..)

If your hungry you have to eat..depending on the time of day you can get away with grapes..if its late..but if its not and you need a meal..try...salad with 20 grapes little FF dressing add 4oz of chicken and 2 big  mushrooms..that will come out about 200 cal..and they are good cals ..not to shabby for a meal..good luck..(add alot of salad in a HUGE bowl..thats what I eat ALOT..lol..makes me feel like Im eating a ton when really is not bad)..STAY STRONG~~~

I agree for ladybug..My daughter is 5' 4" and I try to keep her weight at 125..I try not to let her get more than 5lb either side of it..I'd say 135  would be a good goal for a medium biuld 5'5"..
