In my workout routine, I already do many 'Love Handle' exercises. The exercises I do are: (1) stand up twist, with the adjustable freemotion cable machine - three sets on each side, (2) side leg lifts - three sets on each side, and (3) stand up side crunches with weights - two sets on each side. On top of that, I do cardio for 25 minutes every time I work out (which is 5 days of the week). My stomach is flat, but not my sides. Seriously, I can't shake my love handles. WHAT ELSE is there??

I had to take some medication for a medical reason. I was taken off of it over a year ago. But the weight it made me gain is still here.

I eat very healthy, and work out every day but sunday. And I have only lost 10lbs. Any ideas that might help?

I get very worn out after dancing for a matter of minutes!

What exercises will give me more stamina?

I hope it's not the cardio ones - there are the ones I do not like!

Thank you all in advance for answers.

I've been living with diabetes for over 30 years. I am terrible at checking blood sugars, eating regularly, avoiding alcohol... I get a little depressed when I think about my disease. Haven't been to my endocrinologist since 2003 - avoid it at all costs. Any advice from other diabetics?

I am a college student and I find myself not sleeping, and constantly worrying about things I have to do in October! I have to do a little presentation and I have to get up on stage and perform with my band. I'm not use to doing these kinds of things. Yesterday school started and I was so nervous in every class when I had to introduce myself. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm having heart palpitations from this, seriously. I need some kind of way to obsess over something different and make all of the nervousness go away. I could end up having a heart attack by the time I have to do these things that are making me anxious. What should I do!?

I know I shouldn't ask health questions but I was just curious --

I think I may have acid reflux and I noticed that one of the symptoms is regurgitation. I am also on the birth control pill so do you think that if the contents of my stomach were to come up, the pill would too and become less effective?

And when I mean the contents of my stomach come up, I mean it just comes up to my throat but I don't throw up.

Thanks!!

I know I am going to get a lot of slack about this! LOL But why is this so frowned upon? it seems sensible to me. Have you ever tried to pee with a rock hard erection? It sprays all over the place! Isn't sitting down a good way to prevent a huge mess?

I am 23 and I had a baby just about 2 years ago. Before I had her, I was very thin and had a flat tummy. I gained over 50lbs with her and I have that disgusting mommy "pouch". I just started exercising and dieting and I need to know if it will ever go away and I will get my flat tummy back? Is it possible with hard work or will it always be there? HELP! What kind of exercises can I do to go rid of it?

my worst one was in a trailer park. these band of bikers came in and started killing everyone. they went trailer to trailer. when they got to our trailer, a little black boy came in and counted heads. then he came back in with a tall black woman with a machete. she said that we were all going to die today, who wants to go first? my mom jumped up and said that she needs to go first, because she cant bear witness to seeing her children die. so the lady slit her throat and then did my dad and sister. when she came to me i just closed my eyes. i didnt feel the blade, but when the blood started to pour i could actually feel the warmth and stickiness. i woke up feeling the blood running down my chest.

really freaked me out.
