"GL, make me over!" Seven girls. Seven days. Seven big changes. The outcome? Nothing short of amazing!

Girls' Life, Feb-March, 2004

Josh and Scott's suggestion Physioball exercises should strengthen Christy's back, hamstrings and gluteals. To avoid rotator cuff injuries, Christy now does "waving to the plane," holding a small dumbbell in each hand, three times a week. With thumb down, raise arms out to the sides and slightly forward, like pouring water Out era can. Do 20 times.

Diet

Christy said. "I eat well--I love fruit!--but I also drink a lot of soda and probably eat a little too much candy."

Martica's menu Christy is a fruit-a-holic. If only everyone could do this! Fruit is bursting with nutrients. Christy's meals are nutritious and varied, but she's lacking in important nutrients. She has absolutely no calcium all day. She needs to eat more dairy--yogurt, milk and cheese. Christy is also low in B vitamins, which are found in grains, chicken, fish and meat. Cokes and candy are OK on occasion, as long as they are not substitutes for real food. If a candy bar makes her not hungry for a calcium- and protein-filled meal, she should skip the candy bar.

Life

Christy said. "I talk too much--I need listening skills!"

Dr. M's mantra When Christy is having a conversation, she needs to remind herself not to interrupt. She should listen to a person rather than thinking ahead to what she's going to say next. Wait for the other person to pause before responding or starting on a new topic.

Fashion Jill, 12

Jill said. "I love pink and very preppy clothes, but l want to be more hip!"

Suzin's spin There's no denying that the mod '60s look is back! Jill's outgoing personality means she can carry off a bright, bold turtleneck, while the graphic mini lengthens her legs. Silver jewelry takes the place of her usual preppy pearls, and the layered-up fishnet tights, a shiny patent bag and knee-high boots drive the mod point home.

Hair

Jill said. I need some volume!"

Danielle's Jill showed up with a bob she'd been growing out.

Danielle took off the dead ends and angled the cut. The front is longer than the back, giving the illusion of volume. Danielle then point-cut the ends to take some weight out and give Jill's hair a fun, piece-y look.

Makeup

Jill said. "Pink makeup, please! I think I'd look good in it." Lori's look Lori used Lancome 4 Romance shadows, dusting light rose over Jillian's lids, then defining the crease with a darker rose. Using a small, stiff-angled brush, Lori lined Jillian's eyes with a black shadow. Cheeks got Burt's Bees Cream Blush in Pink. Lips got an icy pink lipstick (Wet 'n' Wild in 911B), topped with pink gloss (Pinkie Swear Think Pink).

Workout

Jill said. "Believe it or not, I'm a gymnast who needs coordination.!

Josh and Scott's suggestion Josh had Jillian lie on the ground and raise her left leg, right leg, left arm, then right arm. After she was able to raise the correct leg or arm easily, he had her try a combination of two together. Exercise combinations like these improve eye-hand-body coordination. Piano and guitar lessons can also help develop rhythm.

Diet

"I do gymnastics four times a week for three-and-a-half hours at a time. I like meat and veggies, but I always eat my iceberg salad first!"
