I have used the book before and gotten great results--now that the holidays are over, like everyone else, I need to take off a few pounds. I'd like to hear thoughts from anyone who is doing or has done the SBD on-line or those who are thinking about doing it. It's only $5/week. Should I? I've lost my book, so I can't just use that.

I am 5'2'. I used to weight 168lbs, now I'm 109. But I don't feel like I am losing weight, I still think that I am fat. For breakfast, I only eat apple. I don't eat anything for lunch and I eat only 5 saltine crackers for dinner. I also take 2 laxatives every weekend. Do you think that I have anorexia?

He takes Lactulose but now he is throwing it up as well. He is not confused or yellow but what other signs do I need to look for. Here my doc is closed and if I tell him to go to ER he refuses at which I undertand! Help

Something is wrong with my knee. My mother has taken me to the doctor and the doctor doesn't know and shrugs it off as growing pains, but I've had growing pains and they felt nothing like this, also, I haven't grown for the past two years. And it only hurts in my right knee...does anyone know why?? I do not rememeber hurting it, and I can't stand taking meds, they make me puke and shake, I also feel like bugs are crawling all over my body!! And I feel lightheaded. Does anyone know why my knee is doing this?? My mother has gotten many opinions on it and they all don't know!! They all tell my mom that they aren't sure but they think it's growing pains!! I have had these pains for almost a year now an my other leg is starting to hurt b/c i'm putting more weight on it. Why is my knee doing this!?

Okay, around 4 hours ago I got 3 cavities filled near my front teeth. I ended up not being able to go back to school due to possible drool factor.

My upper lip isn't as numb as it used to be. But the inside of the lip is extremely dry and I am still afraid of drinking fluids or anything. I am having trouble closing my mouth, I mean I can very easily do it, but it is like there is a spring and I am most comfortable with my mouth open. The dentist decided to file the filling with some metal thing, it got near my gums and each of the cavities (all the cavities were between teeth), and blood lines the cracks. My drool (sorry for the term) covers the teeth, so I can't use a q-tip to wipe it up.

I have a toothache in the biggest cavity (a 9), whhy??

My lip is still numb 4 hours later, is this normal? I can smile, but not laugh, and smiling feels awkward.

I just need to lose 10 pounds. I wanted to use Slim Fast because of its convenience, so I would be using it for about 3-4 weeks (assuming I follow it correctly). If I eat a balanced dinner, would Slim Fast be bad for me? Also, is there anything in it that's not good to consume?

I am interested in finding out if "black mold" is found in cigarette smoke. I know a heavy smoker who insists she is suddenly getting headaches due to having found black mold in her house.

Thanks for any information.

This is my currrent thesis but my professor will not approve it because it does not sound like I am taking a stand.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate studies on whether dark chocolate has favorable effects on cardiovascular function.

I am 27 years old and recently started working out after approximately 7 years of not doing so. I began working out because I had a lack of energy and heard that exercising would improve my energy level. However, it seems like since I started working out I have even less energy. Can anybody give me suggestions to gain more energy including foods that give energy?

Thanks!!

I'm not trying to be inflammatory and am in no way condoning it. I think it's wrong and disgusting but I'm asking why people are paedophiles because I don't understand it at all. Is it mental illness? Is it in the genes? Or do people choose it? Serious answers only please.
