I am early 20's, 5'4'' and 119. I must have hit a plateau, because I feel like my weight is much harder to lose. Any advice?Best advice for losing those last few ponds?
Those last few pounds like to hang around and since you are at a lower weight it now takes less calories to maintain you weight. try kicking up the exercise a bit, try eating a lower amt of calories one day, not to lower and a little higher the next but stay with in a range where you will still lose weight. however the weight you are now if healthy

What is the best advice you could give me about school and exams?
Just wonderingWhat is the best advice you could give me about school and exams?
http://knowstudying.blogspot.com/What is the best advice you could give me about school and exams?
And I mean this in all seriousness:
Do your homework. That's it.
If you're in high school, it will help you prepare for the exams itself, rather than cramming at the last minute.
In college, you will constantly get bombarded with reading assignments, especially if you are a social sciences major like I was. By doing your readings, you will have something to contribute to class, and you will avoid being all stressed out during finals week, while all the kids who ditch class and don't do any work will be pulling their hair out and pulling all-nighters.
Work hard towards the exams
give school your all - dont muck about because it wont pay of later
revise over a perod of time
dont try to cram it all in a short space because you will forget things
go to bed early the nights running up to the exams
drink loads of water
keep fit
and relax thats thebest you can do !
talk to your teachers and advisers because they can give you some good scholarships. volunteer a lot, join a ton of clubs, HAVE FUN, learn how to study because in college you will need that skill.
can anyone answer mine?

Do your best, but do not stress yourself out, find volunteer work, study, get involved, apply for college early, apply for scholarships, and always find time to have fun and relax.
pay attention, do all you hw and participate. study, before an exam. do not stress out because you know it since you were paying attention in class.

What's the best advice someone gave you about money and finances?
Live for today but be prepared for tomorrow. If you can keep from obtaining any debt, do so. Pay for everything out right, don't charge anything. To bad I didn't listen :(What's the best advice someone gave you about money and finances?
House = good debt
Student loans = good debt (because you are investing in a better future)
Credit cards and cars = bad debt
Anything that doesn't hold it's value or if it depreciates then it's a bad investment. Pay cash for those types of things if at all possible. As far as cars, you can get your lowest rates at Credit Unions.What's the best advice someone gave you about money and finances?
The best advice I have ever received, and has actually made a huge difference in our lives is.....
';10% tithe always! 15% to retirement(after debt is paid off).
Tell your money where to go, instead of wondering where it went(budget on paper on purpose)!';
I hope this comes in handy to someone else.

Take care %26amp; God bless!
since i was little my dad has told me to put half of every paycheck i get into the bank (this includes my allowance when i did chores when i was 8 years old to me having a job and getting paid over minimum wage $7.50 at a hardware store) im so glad he made me do that because soon i will be going to college and that will pay for a lot. i have almost $4,000 dollars in my savings account and i am 17 years old!
Stay away from credit cards and don't worship at the alter of the almighty fico score.
Don't borrow money. Pay as you go and live on less money than you make.
No such thing as ';good debt';. Debt is Debt.
Keep track of every penny you spend for a month, categorize it and see where your money is going. This lets you get a feel for where you are spending unnecessarily.
Save
Save often
Save early
At least 10% of your pay.
Don't get into needless debt, credit cards are need less debt.
A car is jut basic transportation, so for your first car buy used.
Only spend money on things that matter not things that are goin to be worthless tommorow
Save 10% of everything you earn. Start young.
Never use a credit card.
If you can't afford to pay cash for something, do not buy it!
Don't buy anything on credit. Pay in cash.
Good luck,
Zola

What' is the best advice you would give to someone who owns a male Betta fish?
If your Betta is living in a small glass globe commonly known as a ';Betta Bowl'; that holds about a cup of water, then it's time to upgrade to a bowl with no less than 1 quart of water. While Bettas can live in those small containers, it's really not good for them. Smaller quantities of water can have fluxuating water temperatures, and your poor little betta doesn't like that all too well.
Change your water weekly (if your tank is non-aireated). If you keep your Betta in a tank, then care for the tank as you would for other fish: change about 1/4 of the water every couple of weeks, replacing it with de-chlorinated water.
Bettas are more active, show their colors better, and are easier to keep healthy when kept at a temperature of about 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, but they can tolerate temperatures as low as 65F.
You can feed your Betta a few pellets or a very small pinch of flake food daily (follow the directions on the food container.) If you want to make your Betta really happy, you can feed him a variety of live foods including frozen brine shrimp, and even mosquito larvae or fruit flies. Don't overfeed your Betta!!!!
YOu can also provide your Betta with some buddies!! They fit right into a community tank with other peaceful fish (neons, guppies, platies, etc.) provided the water flow through the tank is not too strong.What' is the best advice you would give to someone who owns a male Betta fish?
Don't put it with any other betta fish, do NOT put it in a betta bowl with a light, direct light is not good for them, do not keep him in anything smaller than one gallon, don't believe what petstores may say... they need to be fed at least once a day... not two or three times a week like many care sheets say. If he is a petstore ';veiltail'; betta, do not attempt to breed him, the resulting 200 baby fish will be basically worthless, and you will have no where to go with them. Make sure your filter is not too strong, they are not made for turbulent water; if you are not using a filter, make sure to change the water every two to three days, using only treated water... most tap water contains chemicals which are toxic to many fish.What' is the best advice you would give to someone who owns a male Betta fish?
The best advice would be to do some research online, or ask your local pet/fish store about how to properly take care of your new fish.
I think that you defiantly should not put it with another male Betta. You could also breed them but make sure that as soon as the female has her eggs take her out and then the male will take care of the eggs. But you will need another tank for the babies.
Never put it with another Betta fish they will fight. And it loves light. Get a special made fish bowl for bettas that have lights with them.
Do not put it with any other male betta fish.
To see him in all his glory, fins spread put another male betta in a separate bowl against his or put a mirror against his bowl. They are beautiful. If you want to breed him please find the prettiest female you can; this can be hard since most females are brownish. Let them court, in separate bowls for a few days then put them together. Use a larger container because when they make a bubble nest and put eggs in it you need to remove the FEMALE!! The male takes care of the hatchlings. If you have luck with the hatchlings remove papa after a few weeks. When the babies are large enough to tell apart male from female you are going to need bowls for each male. The females are not prone to fighting and can stay together unless they are crowded then you need to have some more tanks for them too. Good luck.
you can get a female Betta fish and put it in a tank next to it and if they dont fight you may be able to mate then and have baby fish. sometime you can put Betta's I'm with other fishlip cream makeup tips

What was the best advice your parents ever gave you?
Now that I am older it would be when Mom told me, ';treasure your youth cause being a ';grown-up isn't as much fun as think';What was the best advice your parents ever gave you?
I am going to have to agree with you. They always said ';enjoy being a kid, being a grown up isn't as fun as it looks';. They were right.What was the best advice your parents ever gave you?
They didn't have to give me advice - they were living examples of what NOT to do.
life is not a bed of roses but a bed of thorns.
don't be led around by the nose with peoples' bullsh*t

What was the best advice you ever got from the Parenting Section?
the kind that actually helped you with real life parenting.
no need to mention names or we'll get in trouble again. lol!What was the best advice you ever got from the Parenting Section?
I think I've learned that my child isn't so weird after all and that other children her age act similarly. Ok, so that isn't advice, but it let me know my kid isn't a complete weirdo hahahaWhat was the best advice you ever got from the Parenting Section?
Too keep doing what we are, because most don't want to be bothered.
Already something that we figured was fact, but after being on this site for a year....lol to say the least we are happy to be us.

What is your best advice for a mom to be?
I'm 4 months along with my first and will take any good advice! Thanks!What is your best advice for a mom to be?
Follow YOUR instincts. You will know best!!!
If you are having a boy, make sure that you point his thing down or you will have wet sheets alot!!
Don't over pack your hospital bag. You probably won't use most of it.
Don't forget to take your baby book to the hospital so you can have footprints/hand prints put in it.
Make sure you have burp cloths/bibs and lots of them
Stock up on diapers now. All sizes
Prepare meals and freeze for when you come homeWhat is your best advice for a mom to be?
Well I know it sounds cliche but sleep! Everyone told me that when I was pregnant but you don't know how bad you will want to sleep when that baby comes and keeps you up so sleep as much as you can now. Also, spend lots of quality time with hubby or boyfriend now (like go out to eat together, go on dates, etc). You can still do that when baby comes but unless you get a sitter baby will have to come along and trust me that can put a quick end to a good meal if baby gets really fussy in the restuarant.
Another thing, don't be afraid to accept help...when people come over and ask if they can do anything take them up on the offer! It will help you out and give you time to spend napping or playing with baby.
Also, try not to go too crazy on baby clothes. I know it is hard. My son will be a year next month but before he was born I went crazy buying clothes and some of them he never even wore. If you must buy try to spread out the sizes that you get so at least baby will get some good wear out of them!
Enjoy your pregnancy...I am sure you will be a great mom!
Don't forget about your relationship with your husband/BF, it's just as important as the relationship with your baby.
Don't go overboard with baby clothes and items (the baby isn't going to need 50 different outfits and wipe warmers and the diaper genie are a waste of money)
Cook and freeze dinners, at least for the first month.
If someone offers to come help you do something, like clean your house or sit with the baby for an hour so you can sleep, let them.
Well after I'd had my son it was the next morning and I went to change him and realised that I had NO clue how to change a nappy/diaper, I burst into tears (guess the hormones were all over), it was just the realisation that it had never even crossed my mind during the 9 months. Just little things like that are worth thinking about before baby comes along. Congratulations!
Be prepared to loss most of your time to do anything. So if there is anything you need to get done before you have your baby get it done.
Don't buy every little gadget for your baby you probably won't use them as much as you think. Like a wipes warmer, or diaper holders.
If you are using formula make sure you get a formula holder. I don't know the official name for them but they have 3 or 4 compartments that rotate and it holds a measured amount of formula. It has a hole at the top and dumps into the bottle easily. It is so much easier to travel with or do late night feedings when your half asleep.
Try to prepare as many dinners in you freezer ahead of time. You will be so tired and won't feel like cooking a lot. I froze a lot of soup, stew, lasagna. Helped a lot on those days I was too tired to cook.
Don't buy too many clothes and try to buy them big. I have so many baby clothes that was only worn once.
Congratulations, it will go by so fast. I remember thinking I was never going to have my baby and now he is turning 2 in a few weeks. Enjoy every moment because you will wake up one day and think where did this little person come from and where did my baby go.
go on a romantic vacation with your partner. after the baby is first born mothers tend to focus on their newborn plus it will be awhile before you can spend some good uninterrupted time. lol. enjoy every shower you take. after you have the baby you can't just get up and do whatever you want anymore. try to enjoy every second of this pregnancy and take lots of pics. it will all be too soon before its over. get a baby book now and jot down how the pregnancy is going to. congrats your life will never be the same in the best way possible!!!!!
Everything can wait. The dishes, the laundry, the house, etc.
The baby is your life and needs you for everything! Hold lots, tend to every cry, invest in a rocker, sing and sing and sing some more! Cherish every single minute. Look at every detail of that little angel and tell yourself ';I am not going to forget this moment';.
Remember: The first 3 months is the most important for creating a secure baby. If they know mom is there when they need them, then they will cry less and be happier. The following 9 months reinforces that bond and this is when they learn- everything - so take the time to teach them!
Nurse them! Nursing also is a short lived investment but provides them with the much needed antibodies (you can pump if you want but you miss out on some really special times). A nursed baby is proven to have far less illness.
Get a relief person! Have someone you trust who would be willing to give you some time of rest. No matter how you wish to spend that time, but get it!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The human mother is the only mother that is intelligent and is the only mother that ignores the cries of their child for fear of spoiling them. Babies cannot be spoiled! Older children can, but babies cannot. That is a fact. Even animal mothers have their babies in their family bed until they are old enough to venture on their own so get yourself a ';Arms Reach Baby Bed';. Keep that baby next to your bed for 2 months.
