What I'm saying is that I have tried every possible way to lose weight I am 5'11"(5 feet & 11inches tall) & I weigh about 205lbs & I take Centrum vitamins everyday. So if I stopped eating for 3 weeks or longer & just took Centrum vitamins everyday & drank nothing but water everyday too & ate an occasional salad. Could I loose about 10lbs or more. WOULD THIS BE SORT OF HEALTHY BECAUSE EVEN IF I NOT EATING EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL SALAD I'M STILL TAKING CENTRUM VITAMINS SO THAT IS LIKE A SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOD BECAUSE I GET ALL MY VITAMINS & NUTRIENTS WITHOUT THE CALORIES. I WILL ALSO BE JOGGING WHENEVER I CAN.

I'm not extremely depressed, but I am often a little down. I don't get much sleep and I have trouble concentrating on things sometimes. I've got a lot going on in my life right now, and I know I'm not crazy! It's normal I'm feeling this way, considering what's going on, I just feel like I need a little happiness-boost, and I don't want to get on medication. Any thoughts?

I took 20mg's on Friday and abt 50 to 60mg's on Sunday. I had to take a drug test Friday at 2:00. They send the results into a lab and can detect any traces of opiates! How long do traces of the drug stay in your system and if i test negative but they find small traces of opiates in my system....can they hold that against me in court or prove that i have been using? Also...is there any way that you can test positive for opiates even if you havent been using? Do certain supplements, foods, over the counter medication leave traces of opiates in your system?

What are some SPECIFIC ideas and policies to help cure the health care crisis. I dont want any half -a** answers like "we have to have tell the parents do this or that" or "we have to exercise more".

I want SPECIFIC GOVERNMENT POLICIES and ideas that would help solve it!
My idea would be to tax junk foods just like we tax cigs and ALCOHOL. thIS WOULD NOT ONLY DECREASE THEIR CONSUMPTION IT WOULD INCREASE REVENUE to help pay for trhe exploding health care crisis in the US largely caused by the explosion in diabetes of the obese.
Remember, no half-answers. I want SOLID IDEAS!

I'm a guy and struggle with this, and have run across a few other questions asking about the same thing, always referring to guys as far as I can remember. Is this something that affects guys more than girls, and if so, does anyone have any idea why?

In case anyone is wondering, yes, I'm referring to alcoholic drinks, and people who are old enough to legally consume them. I'm 28 and otherwise in perfect health, although I was a bedwetter for many years growing up. How common is it for this to happen to otherwise healthy young adults, guys or girls? I'm not talking just about being stone-cold drunk necessarily, but like after having maybe 3-4 drinks late in an evening... anyone else have any experience with this?

Can most of you tell when other women around you are menstruating at the same time? doesn't it suck when like everyone is pmsing at the same time? Has anyone ever had it at the same time as their boss or their teacher? That can make working with others kind of difficult. I just wanted to know what you experience with this is.
