Hi, I am just curious as to what everyone's opinion on this one is. I am a 21 years old student and am starting to work out and am working on eating 3 meals a day. My metabolism since I had a broken leg seems non existant and I have been watching "The Biggest Loser" recently (I do not know why), but their numbers that they lose each week seems ridiculous! Do you think that on average for a couple of months a person can lose 5lbs, 4lbs, 3lbs, or 2lbs a week with proper eating (with carbs that is) and 2 hours working out at least 5 times a week? Or is more working out necessary? Overall, what do you think? With your answers please cite your sources or reasoning for your answer.

I'm serious... I just did a little exploration and don't know if what I'm feeling is normal. It seems to me there is a lump the size of a golf ball about 1 to 1 1/2 inches inside my rectum. It does not hurt, I have no pain or bleeding and no other abnormal symptoms. I am female, so it is not my prostate but in a slightly lower area.

I've only had sex five times. I recently lost my virginity. I'm getting better at it, but I always go way too quickly. Two minutes into it, and I'm gone. I can go for hours if I masturbate a half hour or so before hand, but aside from that, I have a hard time stopping the urge when it's about to happen.

Any tips to controlling myself?

Ok. So I just found some Lexapro in my house, that I had no idea anyone was even using by the way? But lately Ive been having these wierd anxiety attacks. If I were to take it tomorrow, would it even help. But most importantly would it be dangerous? Would it do any harm to me??

I'm a minor, andI live with one parent who is constantly away onbusiness.
I weigh 103lbs and am 5'8''.
I realize that I'm getting at a dangerous weight, and I've known that I have anorexia for a while now. I'm worried I might be getting into bulimia, because instead of my usual fasting I ate every day this week and made myself throw up after every food I ate. I'm starting to feel horrible, and have been telling friends (mostly online ones) and they're all telling me that I really need to see someone or talk to someone. I don't know if I'm ready to or not, but I'd like to know what my options are when I finally am.
How do I tell my dad? Is there any easy way to come out and say it? To ask for help? I'll edit for details if anyone wants them.. I tried to be brief, but I can add details for whoever asks.

Any way to get rid of it, and get my real skin color to come through? It's happened mostly on the back of my arms, and around my chest where my bra fits.. Don't quite know why, it just started... maybe the dry weather. anyway, any answers will be much appreciated.

I was eating a the crunch chocolate, and after a second bite my right jaw made this sudden cracking sound, and I felt a pain for a moment but it only lasted for about a minute. This has happened occassionally.

I was thinking that this may relate to dental symptoms...I hadn't mentioned this the last time I went to see a dentist (which, I think, was a year ago or a little more than that).

What do you think?

Last night i was trying to get into my condo that i 've noticed a white bird (smaller than a parrot) sitting outside my door. Was raining and i took the bird inside. It's a domestic bird (comes to hand,etc.), howerver, he scratches himself a lot and it's got some redness on the head and around the neck. It also sheds a lot.
Since i don't know where the bird is coming from, i am a little afraid that he might carry the birdflue virus.

Is that possible? Am i a little too worried? Any idea how i can make sure the bird is not sick, until i find his owner?

thanks.

What is this?
Hi there, i am a 24 year old male and have been having some health issues. In jan 05 i had a severe back pain radiating into groin and then the next day i had severe urinary symptoms..still ther. hesitancy, dribbling. I was scared and didn't go to a doctor for 6 months. In that time i developed itching in my groin and anus which has stayed with me till this day everyday... I have also had a back pain for a year that is a dull pain in my lower back. I have pains that shoot into my legs and into my feet. I have had bowel troubles from diarhea to constipation. I have been to 3 doctors who just said it was stress. They did do bloodwork which came back negative nad so did my urine except for sugar in my urine, . I can't eat anything fatty or with milk as i will wake up 2 hours afteer i fall asleep with severe abdominal cramping followed by diarhea. As a kid i used to get nose bleeds and also i did notice that wounds weren't healing right. They seem to be healing better now than they were.TY
