Health - 11 December 2006

I don't plan on using just the pills to affect my weight loss, I work out 3-5 times per week for an hour each day, with 30 minutes of cardio. I seem to lose only 1 lb or 2lbs a month, even with healthy eating.

I am the girl, and currently weigh 172 pounds, and would like to get to 107 pounds.

My boyfriend says it's a bad idea to aim for that, especially since I have anemia and hypoglycemia.

I've been drinking diet coke all my life, and have never really liked any other sodas. Everyone says cutting back on sodas helps you lose weight; does this include diet drinks? thanks! :) any other tips?

Why are they called "love handles" anyway?


Also...

I know that when you exercise, you gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, so how can I lose weight without weighing more after exercising but still having more muscle than fat?

What exercises can I do that will help me gain muscle, but not weigh more? Is Turbo Jam any good? What about celebrity personal trainer, Joel Harper's Dorm Room Workout? What about simply walking for 30 minutes a day?

Also...
Will eating 1 banana w/ a glass of milk for both breakfast & lunch for 2 weeks help me lose 10 lbs. in the 2 weeks? One of my friends told me that and she's trying it.

Can you please give a healthy diet to follow so I can lose up to 2-3 lbs. a week? Thank you!

I discovered I am diabetic (type 2) nearly 3 years ago after seeing my doctor about severe tingling and numbness in my left foot. We think we (luckily) caught the diabetes early, and I can control glucose levels well with pills and diet/exercise (lifestyle) changes. That said, the tingling and numbness has remaining at the same level over the last few years, not getting worse or better.
It is a bit puzzling (to me and my doctor) as diabetic neuropathy usually is distributed evenly between both feet and/or hands... and mine was and is still highly focused in one foot.

I've been to a neurologist on my doctor's advice and after some testing, and two CAT scans, over a number of visits he confirms this neuropathy, but is at somewhat of a loss for a cause. His best guess is that an old injury may have led to this condition... as an aside, I did play football in college and did have a fairly severe ankle sprain on this foot .
I'm curious if anyone can relate?
Thanks

I know, so many people have seen this question, so many times. I could just search any resolved questions but i'm not. I am 15, and have worn boxers since i was in sixth grade. But i've always had problems keeping the package togther. I'm trying to workout and do cardio, so I'm thinking about wearing boxer briefs or boxers. But its kind of embarassing to me, to tell anyone. (i.e my parents) I do not want to walk into a store and purchase any. Also im a medium in boxers, so do sizes change in Boxer briefs? I just need more info.

Today at school I went to track practice and pushed myself a little- my leg was a little sore but it was nothing to worry about

Then at swim practice my coach wanted me to work harder and I pushed myself 100%. At the last lap of practice I get this KILLER leg cramp. I couldn't even get up and walk around...I had to hop out of the pool and to the showers on one leg!

I wouldn't really care about this normally, but I have a TRACK MEET tommorrow and it is my first one. I want to do well, but I can't run with such a bad cramp.

I have already tried stretching it out. It got a little better, but I still cannot walk without it hurting. I'm planning on putting Bengay cream on it and a heating pad. Then I'm gonna take some advils and hope for the best tommorrow.

Please help me. I need some miracle medicine or advice on what to do. Any quick fixes for leg cramps?

Do any of you guys have dry skin on your feet? Mine is really bad around my heals and starting to crack a little. And on the bottom of my feet my skin is starting to peal a little. Do any of you know what this could be caused from besides just dry skin? What can I do to get normal skin on my feet again?

I've never been one to drink lots of fluids. Even when I eat, I barely touch my drink. Whenever I try to increase my water intake, I pee like 40000 times a day. It seems like none of that water even gets in my system. Is it really benefiting me to drink more water if I just pee it all out?

I'm 23 now, and when I was 16 I was hospitalized for anorexia. Recovery has been hard and sometimes I've backslid, but never too far. Now I'm 5'8" and 142 pounds, and I feel fat and ugly. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to be 'sensible' about losing weight, because I'll take it to the extreme. I have no support system and cannot afford to mess up because I have no one to pick up the pieces. But at the same time, don't I have the right to exercise and diet so I feel more confident?
