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.

Is it normal to have a little lump 'down there'? It isn't an ingrown pubic hair 'cause it's too low for that. It's like right over my urinary hole. Thx in advance!

 

Hey missy, sorry I can't answer your question right now! Check in with some of your other gal pals on here for advice, I'm sure they'll be willing to help you out. Thanx a bunch for understanding!!! Smile Smile

Ok so i am 12, and i am in seventh grade but i look 15! I used to have a lot of body fat (i guess you could say) like i had a bigger belly. lol And now I have seemed to lose a lot of weight! I like it this way, i really don't have a belly anymore and i am definitely skinnier in the face. But my dad calls me skin and bones, even though im really not that skinny, and he seems to be worried. I eat and I have been excersizing a lot lately,but i also some times find my self not as hungrey as i used to be. Like in the mornings, i only seem to be hungry at a certain time, and that time isn't before school, so i usually eat some cut up straw berries or something. And at lunch, i eat but i really just kind of snack, but then i find my self starving later! Should i be worried?? Its not like i don't eat, but it seems to me that my dad is worried that i am not! THANKS! Smile




Maybe you and your dad should take a trip to your doctor--he/she can tell you both what are good health practices and confirm whether or not you are healthy Smile

I'm 14 and I want to get a facial with extractions to get rid of all of my black heads but am I too young? Also, after getting a facial once, do you have to get it again after that?
Thanks! Smile




Do you have a place of business in mind? If so, call and ask what their age limit is. Also, you can talk to them about aftercare for your skin Smile

I am 13 and I got my period about a year ago and now I'm suddenly loosing a bunch of weight! I don't know why! I'm not doing anything different than usual. Why do you think this is happening?
Thanks Smile




It could be hormonal, but to be on the safe side talk to your doctor for a definite diagnosis.
