I've been losing some weight lately-- not a lot, just like 10 pounds. I weigh around 180 pounds now. I'm 17, and I'm 5'10, if that helps.
My body is weird, because my-- whatever it's called, the area above your stomach, is pretty thin, but then when you get down to that area below the stomach, I am a lot bigger. It's annoying, becuse I tend to wear my pants somewhat low, and I need to buy a size 36 waist. It's weird because I know guys who weigh a lot-- like 50 pounds more than I do who wear the same size waist.
Am I just designed weird, or something?
Is there a way to even myself out, or something?
Thanks.

i know this may be a weird/gross question but here i go, I sweat a lot but mostly during everyday life. when im at cheerleading practice i sweat just as much as everyone else but when im walking around on my highschool campus i get sweat marks like crazy. even when its snowing if i have a shirt on for only 1 min you can see sweat marks. people say its healthy to swea but it makes me very uncomfortable i sweat even through sweatshirts. im not a heavy girl eith im tiny and have a nice body not to float my own boat but i have no fat at all. i dont understand why i sweat so much. i can't were t-shirts because im so embarresed by my sweat. what can i do. and yes i have tried every anti-persperant/deoderant in the book.

I have already put that pink stuff on.. Caladryl, but its still itching like freaking crazy!!!!! It feels worse! There are bumps on my back.. but just a red rash on my breast. I've never felt this kind of pain before!!! I just started going tanning about a week ago and naturally my skin has itched until I put lotion on.. Well today was different. I went tanning and I started to itch as I was tanning. I am using a tanning lotion that has hemp in it and it has a tingling sensation when it is applied. I've used it for the past week and haven't had a problem. What is going on with me and what can I do!!!! I live in a little town and theres no walmarts or anything like that i can go to to pick anything up. WHAT DO I DO! Oh the only thing different about today than my other tanning days.. is i am on my period. Any ideas or remedies?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

my fiancee has really bad nerves. he's always shaking and he bites his nails out of a nervous habit.. he's facing being a new dad in the couple of weeks and also could be looking at a year in jail right after the baby arrives (it's not a huge charge... just a misdeamenor possession charge).. so his nerves are going crazy right now.... he should really be on a perscribed nerve pill... i have seen him when has taken one and he's normal and happy... how can we go about getting him a perscription so that he can become more stable.... he has no insurance and we have very little money... i just want him to be normal and not flipping out all the time.. i'm very worried about him...

I have an itchy scaly place that drives me crazy! Since I have a mild exema on my legs and that's what was prescribed for them, looks like I could put the ointment on that one small spot on my head??? The tube says for Jock Itch, Ringworm, and Athlete's Feet.

Hello. My husband is morbidly obese and does not seem to care. He was overweight when I met him, but since has let himself go to the point where I am starting to become discusted. I do love him, but he is 300 lbs and will not believe me when I tell him it is dangerous and he is in the morbidly obese category. I am a nurse and have seen in the hospitals what can happen to morbidly obese people. He thinks he is just overweight. He eats so much food it is ridiculous, enough to feed an entore family at meal times. When I ask him to get exercise, or to eat a less he gets angry with me. I need him to lose some weight, I can't stand sitting here with my mouth shut while he eats himself to oblivion!!!! My question is, is there anyway to get my husband to see the truth about his weight?
