Lose a pound, gain a pound?

 
I’m 10 years old and I just hit puberty. I know you’re supposed to start gaining weight, but I’ve noticed that one day I gain a pound, and the next I lose it. Should I be worried?

 

Puberty is a crazy stage in every girl’s life. There’s really no such thing as normal when it comes to puberty, babe, so worrying about every little thing that sets you apart from the way your friends are going through it or the way your mom went through it is needless.

 

What you’re seeing on the scale, this gain-a-pound, lose-a-pound phenomenon, is probably just slight changes in your water weight. Everyone’s body holds on to a certain amount of water to make all of the chemical processes in our bodily systems work properly. Depending on what you eat and drink throughout the day, sometimes you lose a little bit of water weight, and sometimes you gain it. Dropping a pound (or gaining a pound) every day is insignificant, so don’t fret! Your water weight could vary by several pounds each day.

Your are gaining and losing well that is a good sign because it means you are growing it is the same way with me I am 11 years old and I am gaining a few pounds then losing it a day or two later It means you are about to start your growth spurt. So expect to grow a lot in the next 6-7 years

MODMODMOD I'm 13 and weigh 130lbs. All the other girls that I know weigh less that that. like 110. I'm average size, but I'm REALLY self-conscious and I have been teased lately. I also think the 130 is starting to show. I don't know what to do. My own mother wants me to go on a diet! I'm lost and confused. Thanks for the help!

Please answer! This is an emergency. I sweat a lot and I can never wear t-shirts because even though I wear extra-strength antiperspirant and shower every morning, I still get pit stains. It's getting so bad that I'm starting to sweat through my jackets and I have to wear three layers of shirts everyday, no matter how hot it is. I don't know what to do because no one in my family or anyone else that I know has this problem. It is major issue because our schools heating system is messed up, so even though it's fall it feels like August in every room, especially on the second floor. What should I do?! It's making me really self conscious. Please respond asap. Thanks Smile




Hey girl! 

This article should help you out! If you've tried all of these tricks already, try explaining this sitch to the doc next time you're there for a visit. xoxox http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/09/24/I-Cant-Stop-Sweating.aspx

MOD MOD MOD:
I started my period last October and I'm going on a cruise in March. So far my period's been around the same time. I REALLY don't want my period during the cruise. What should I do if I do get my period because my family doesn't bring a lot of stuff with us off the boat. (PS: I do use tampons)
~ Thanks- Taylor




There's really no way to plan your period around when you would and wouldn't prefer to have it.  Your best bet is to keep a stock of tampons with you on the trip, I know your parents wouldn't mind that one extra box.

MOD MOD MOD So the skin on my legs is all weird and kinda bumpy. I also have a couple dry patches on them. Starting Monday, I vowed to not use any body wash or lotion except for this prescription stuff on my legs. The only down side is I can't shave my legs! UGH! They're all stubbly--blonde, but still stubbly--and I'm trying not to show the grossness by wearing pants but it bothers me. Any tips on that and if u think it would be okay if I shave tonight. Also, please hurry...I have to go to bed @ 9. Thanks!

 

Hey girlfriend, if the prescription or your doctor said you can't shave your legs then I wouldn't. Even if they didn't, it may not be a good idea. Shaving cream and the medicine may not react well with each other. I don't think you should girly. Smile Smile
