Thanks to all of your advice but I have just bought 2 pairs of Champion underwear that have reduced the chafing and I dont feel it anymore!. It works wonders and man am I happy with it...a little pricey tho but I only need 2. Thanks alot mrsdagle

Thank you for the advice and no I cant drink water during the day. The main thing I am worried about is my body going into starvation mode.

I shall admit....I have yet to be kissed...even out on a date. I am 18 years old. I want to start dating but I am extremely shy and I look for the smart pretty girls but here in Cincinnati its really hard cuz they seem to all have boyfriends already and the ones who dont are quite dirty so yeah. Also I dont have much confidence in myself since I am quite large and all. Its one of the reasons I want to lose weight.

O and about the whole people making bad desicions is in their genes things....NO that is absolutely not true. The problem is that there is an EXTREME stress on individualism which in lesser amounts is not that bad but as you mentioned asian cultures not being as rebellious that is true to the fact that the society is based around community and family honor and such however here its all about you. There needs to be more stress on family and on the community and shame and such this way the next generation will not be so rebellious. Trust me I am growing up in a home where family is pretty much the most important thing. However I think there is a little bit of too much of that in my home as I am starting to rebel a bit and I have drank a couple of times and gotten drunk once. So in personal experience it is nurture for sure but nothing will change unless there is less emphasis on individualism in our society. BTW this concept of individualism is consistent in almost all westernized countries.

o thank you for the advice

My vision of the perfect body....for me I just want defined muscle and decent strength and endurance. I know that this is hard as I have come to realize that I pack on fat very easily but that is my vision. I absolutely will be happy if I have a slim stomach that is not defined but definitely healthy. I have a long way to go but I will get there and I hope it nothing will stop me.

As for the perfect body for a woman I agree the woman has to be healthy. I find it extremely attractive and sexy when a woman looks healthy or has some muscle definition. This obviously shows their capacity for commitment and that is huge in my book (Although I may not have the best capacity!). Anyway on top of that I like it when a girl is proportionate. Not to get too vulgar or anything but a big chest isn't always a good thing if it looks like they could keep you afloat...I am not into it. However if it fits nicely into a HEALTHY hourglass figure that thats just awesome. But don't get me wrong if a woman looks healthy but does not sport an hourglass figure it wont keep me from being attracted to said woman.

O I forgot to mention its a VERY good thing to put ice around your cheeks and keep them there for 15 min than off for about 10 than back on for 15 etc.

I know that may sound difficult to keep them in place but if u use something like a really long tube sock you can slide the ice/ice packs into the sock and position them on your cheeks then tie the ends on top or under your head. You will look goofy but trust me there will be next to no swelling and it will help things heal faster. It may be a good idea to cut the closed end of the tube sock to make things easier. you just basically need something that will hold the ice in place.

Hi I am 18 years old 5'5" 195 lbs and sick of being fat. I have dealt with my weight since a was a child about 9 or 10 I would say. About a year ago I used to about 165-170 then summer and college rolled around..... Now I am looking to change my life and become healthier and support a healthy lifestyle. Any support from anyone is great but its good to know there are people around my age on this website! I have just started and I joined last week. My motivation is that I keep hearing little side jokes from friends and I want all that to stop. I want to lose enough weight that by the time college comes back around they will think twice about making that sly remark. Another huge motivator is that I want to shock everyone of my family members when I see them again hopefully next summer!

I got my widsom teeth taken out about a year ago and it wasnt that bad at all. As far as being all sleepy and stuff from the anesthetic that didnt really effect me. You may or may not have to use painkillers that you are prescribed I only used 1 pill and didnt need it anymore. Tylenol usually works . Any way ther was some soreness at first but soft foods are good. Drink mostly liquids. A good thing to remember is that if your chin is numb after the procedure try as best as u can to pour water in your mouth....its kinda hard I was drooling everywhere the first day! The one thing that got annoying after the surgery is when all the pain and swelling is gone you have to use a plastic syringe like device to help flush out any food that will probably find their way into your new formed holes. Now I am not talking about food going into an open wound I realized that my gums were surrounding where my wisdom teeth used to be and formed some pockets. I accidently poked the inside of one of them and it was sore at most. I wouldnt really worry that much and if something goes wrong sue em! haha. BEst of luck and dont worry too much you will be fine

Please don't run! Running is not for girls IMHO.

 

uhhhhh are you implying that I am a girl? I am an 18 year old male. I hope that was just a simple mistake Anyway thank you everyone for the advice but I do have another question... If I were to diet in a way to lost fat fast but at the same time start to adjust my eating habits as I have started to do would I be eliminating the yo-yo dieting? Just trying to find the quickest and most beneficial way. I know that I may come off as extremely impatient or stubborn but I am that sick of carrying this weight around. I used to not get subtle remarks from friends and family but I was straight up told to lose weight in a harsh manner by a family member. I know he means well but it was just kind of like.....man I REALLY need to lose this weight.
