Just started the low carb diet about 5-6 days ago. I have only lost 1 lb. Should I have lost more?

I'm starting a new diet that specifically says 'no white potatoes' I've never heard that term. What qualifies as a white potato? I love red potatoes, are those OK? Is a white potato the standard with the brown skin on the outside?

Would like to get healthier and lose weight. Hurt my knee in a car accident a couple of yrs. ago and it acts up, so running is difficult. Besides that, I might give myself a black eye!! Would like to buy a good walking shoe but can't afford to spend a lot and then have the shoe not be appropriate. A salesman told me that the mall walkers tend to buy New Balance. What's your opinion?

I think my mom has borderline personality disorder. She lies about me to other family members, and even tells my friends lies about me. And I have had people say that she acts like she is jealous of me, not like a mother but a jealous sister or something. She has manipulated situations to make me look bad infront of my father, and he always takes her side and believes her. It just baffles me that a grown women would lie so openly and obviously.
When I confronted her about the emotional abuse she informed me that she had never done such things and also that she has never called me "stupid,ugly,dumb....ect." She said that I obviously think these things about myself and have "imagined" her saying them. (BTW these are things she has done and said to me my whole life!) I then called my brother(whom she is also abusive to) and asked him if he has heard her say these things to me, OF COURSE he said yes. And was also shocked she would try and make me think it was all in my head.

First of all; I am a virgin: NEVER HAD SEX! But my boyfriend and I have done oral.

I've been dating him for about a year, and he has never been tested for STD's, but has no signs of any.

I have this white puss like substance on my tonsils/ in my throat. My glands are also a tiny bit swollen, and my throat is sore. It's been like this for two weeks or so.

I went to the doctor, they tested and it wasn't strep.

They said it could just be viral, however they didn't mention anything about an STD. People who know what they're talking about- what do you think?

ok, i got a tooth pulled on tuesday of this week, it was on the bottom far back. it's been hurting verrrrrry badly, so i went back thursday, he said it looked fine, cleaned it and told me i 'shouldn't be in that much pain anymore.' WRONG! it hurts and makes my ear and head hurt! now it's not INTOLERABLE, but highly uncomfy! it's bad enough to where ibuprofen won't knock it out! about 45 mins ago i rinsed my mouth with warm water and salt, that was extremely painful! it felt like my whole head was going to explode.. now i know with dry socket, there should be no blood clot and you should see pail white where the bone is showing, but it looks normal i guess.. any other problems it could be??! please help!

the shrinks have poked me and drugged me for 5 years they told me that I saw demons and heard voices. I think I just wasted 5 years of my life. It s all not true how do you tell someone that you are not crazy? Will they ever believe you? I have never been formally diagnosed. Maybe this time I will be. Pray for me cause I m going through the hardest time in my life. I pray that God will take over my mind and I will be well again someday.

All I ever drink is diet coke, and I noticed that it's laxative effect is quite strong. Is it possible for the body to become dependent on it for this effect? Please back up your answers if possible.

I don't smoke very often but I have a friend that smokes before work, just like having a cup of coffee. He smokes during work (he works construction) and always on the way home. Then after dinner and before bed. To me it seems he is high all day. I like it every now and then but jeez louise, I don't think I would want to feel that way all day, every day. I always thought marijuana wasn't addicting but now I think maybe it is. Does anyone out there know the real answer?
