I am going to the pool in 12 days and i need to lose weight because i want to wear a 2 piece bathing suit and how do i do that i am 11?

Chances are that you will not be able to loose the weight you would like in the 12 days that you have. Also, weight is not what you should be worried about, your BMI (body mass index) is more important.

Anyways my suggestion would just be to wear the suit and don't listen to any negative comments that may be made towards you. (or if you wish, you can always take the negative comments and use them as motivation) But regardless or what someone says, don't let them put you in a bad mood.

If you really do want to loose weight, I would suggest eating healthfully (no soda or candy), and exercise. whether you jog, swim, go biking, play frisbee, baseball, basketball, tennis (my favorite). Just make sure that you get outside a be active. If you get bored of doing homework, walk around the block and then get back to work. At first you may not notice any results but keep it up and work hard, you will start to notice a difference.

Sorry if i seem like your parents but I know this from experience. About a year ago I was very unhappy with my appearance but i spent the summer playing tennis (in 120 degree heat, which, is not necessary) and riding my bike. Now I am very happy with how I look but continue to play and be active so that I may never again have to experience that low-level of fitness.

Good luck and remember that it will take time.

To be real, running is just to feel better. It boosts energy and relieves stress. It's a competition with yourself to see how far you can push yourself. It also gives people a time to think, a time to themselves, and a sense of personal accomplishment.

Running is a physical exercise which will burn excesses of fat round the body. If we know we have weight which is not a necessity on our body, then running (or using gymnasium equipment like treadmills) is a brilliant way of getting thinner.

Physical exercise also increases cardio output which is of great benefit to your health and also improves physical appearance, strengthens muscles, tones up areas of the body you're not happy with and can also improve emotional and psychological well-being. Benefits of running are: * Weight loss * Cardiovascular Health. * Increased muscle mass. * Increased bone density. * Improved emotional state.

Why are rocks underneath train tracks?

I'm guessing to keep a the ground drier because the water runs off easily?

+++

The "rocks" are called in total, "ballast". It does not keep the underlying ground drier because rain water simply runs between the stones, though the water should then drain laterally into the "cess", the shallow drainage ditch alongside the line.

The ballast is there to give a secure but resilient anchorage for the track itself, which is slightly elastic, and allow it to be set correctly for level and cant (its camber on curves) by tamping it appropriately under the sleepers ('ties' in US parlance).
