Hi,

I'm a 24 year old female and I weight 277 pounds. I want to lose about 127-135 pounds, reaching a goal weight of about 140-150. I'm only 5'5 and don't want to be skinny. I just want to be near a healthy weight. It seems that all weight loss programs and exercise programs are tailored for people that only need to lose a few pounds. How do I lose a large amount of weight? I've tried Weight Watchers, diet pills, Atkins. I need something I can stick with. I hate chicken and fish and I love red meat. What do I do?

I am allergic to Red Bull (I had one tiny sip and almost puked 10 minutes later). Does this mean I can't drink any kind of energy drinks like Monster, Tab, Amp, etc? I can drink MDX and Vault with no problems (they just make me bounce off the walls). Is it safe for me to drink energy drinks in the first place? I'm 14. Thanks!

I'm a masochist, I mean rehabber, who's interested in getting a house to rent out and make some money. In running the numbers, I've come across something in which I have no experience: installing aluminum siding.

I want to know how much it should cost per square foot of the house, and/or how much it should cost for a wall of an example size. I need to have a mathematical basis for running the numbers before I jump into a project that could either bankrupt me or require a year of slow saving and work in order to complete.

There's no such thing as a dumb answer... although plenty of people give it the ol' special ed try. Please explain how you get to your answer, because that's what most important.

Thanks in advance.

It seems like our politicians are more interested in staying in office than in representing us. What do you think about a system that allows us to rate our politicians out of 10. This would be based on how well they met their election promises, and how well they represent us during the course of their tenure. Ratings could be done annually via ATMs. If a politician, receives a score lower than, 5/10 they should be kicked out of office and that post re-elected. This will prevent the scenario where a person gets elected based on certain promises, and then spends the next 4 years doing their own thing. What do you think?

Years ago, when we had just 2 children I had a dream that there was a fire. My husband smokes and I come from a family of firefighters, so I am always afraid my husband cigarette will accidently catch something on fire.

One night I had a dream of a fire. In my dream I went downstairs and I was trying to figure out where the fire was (it was a dream afterall, so it was not obvious at first.) I first looked outside where my husband smokes, there was no fire there, but there were firemen rushing past me, going inside my house. So I looked at them, they went in the hallway and pointed towards the bathroom.

I woke up right at that moment. I could not shake it, and HAD to get up and look around our home for a fire. I checked on the kids, then went downstairs. No fire. I looked outside where my husband smokes, no fire. So remembering what was in my dream, I went towards the bathroom. The iron had been left ON in there and the bathroom was hot. No fire, but still, scary!

One of the exercises I do is to do a half press-up, then move back onto my knees with my arms forwards to stretch my back, and then to move forwards into a press-up position again. I repeat this several times, but every time I move forward into the press up position there is a loud click in the small of my back, and I can feel it too. It doesn't hurt, but I am worried that I might be doing some damage. My back also clicks when I lie on my back and raise my right leg, but it doesn't click when i raise my left leg.

Does anyone out there know about backs? Should I stop worrying or should I see an osteopath or something?

I am living abroad at the moment, so it is difficult for me to get to see anyone.

People say being gay is a choice. That may or not be right. You see, all organisms mate with the opposite sex. Also humans too. However, if being straight is a normal thing, isn't being gay abnormal? Probably a chromosome gone bad or something. No offense. People are born with it, and even though they say being gay is not a choice, it might be later in the future and they find out if it is a genetic mishap, or they find a way to change sexuality.
My next point is choice. They say it's not a choice. But I think it is. You can choose to be whoever you are. It's just that they prefer to be their sexual orientation rather that deny it. If I was gay, but however, was "No, I don't want to be gay. I'll stick straight." I'll be straight. I'm straight, by the way. Gays find it hard to control their sexuality, or just impossible. It might be impossible, which then, takes choice out of the question.
