I had my 1st child almost 4 months ago and weighted 179 lbs at the highest weight, I am now down to 147 lbs. Am I overweight still? I want and feel I need to lose weight but am not sure how much I should lose.

I am about 35 years old and have had two children. I believe that I am done, having children. Other types of birth control has given me side effects that I can't easily ignore, like when I was younger.
I am not sure what I am in for by having my tubes snipped. Is there any side effects-emotionally, physically, menstral cycle, loss of sex drive, or mood swings? I really don't have anyone who has had this done to get advice from. The doctors will tell you one thing, but I would like to knwo from some others. Thanks for the input.

I didn't used to have this problem. I'm not allergic to anything or sneezing, nor is my nose clogged up. It just started not too long ago.

Will I have to start taking allergy medicine to stop my nose from producing? thanks. :)

I am not technically constipated b/c I had a bowel movement today, but I feel constipated because I feel full and bloated and like I have not completed a bowel movement, sometimes dull cramping in my stomach. I have also lost a lot of weight, about 6 lbs. in 3 weeks, and I was already underweight to begin with. I am a 23/f. I hardly ever drink water and I don't eat regularly. But I don't drink a lot of milk or eat a lot of cheese and I try to eat vegetables when I do eat. Should I be concerned and/or go to the doctor? I feel like if I drink water it will just make me feel more bloated, and no I am not on my period, and as a matter of fact, I have not had my period for a month and a half now, and my last period lasted only 3 days and didn't have real bleeding except for the last day. What's wrong with me, any ideas? And any suggestions for what to do about feeling bloated, sick and constipated?

Just a general question for everyone. How do you maintain your weight/ figure? Do you follow certain eating habits, follow a certain diet, eat whatever, what do you do?

Yea, my eye spasms. It is the strangest thing. It went on through my entire pregnancy and I thought it was a pregnancy thing. Now, almost two years later my eye is at it again. It twitches and makes whatever I am looking at shake so that I can't see well enough to focus on anything. It only happens when I try to focus on something. I have no idea why this happens. It makes me wanna grab my eyeball and hold it steady so I can look at something! The doctor said he had no idea what was going on, but multpile sclerosis can sometimes start by affecting the muscle in the eye. I highly doubt it's that. I'm a healthy 24 year old female! Anyone else ever have their eyes twitch? Is this a normal thing???

bodies back in a shape that allows for normal organ function and shrinkage of expanded large intestines from being kicked by twins and such? It is shown that abdominal fat causes diabetes and high blood pressure. What can shrink the large intestine damage done in childbirth and when mixed with body sculpting exercise and wraps can help a woman gain restored health and body mass and organ function?

I know that Americans are woefully short of the desired amount of fiber in the diet. I have been told by a few people at the gym that Metamucil is an acceptable fiber supplement. I know that it is marketed as both a supplement and also as a laxative and the directions for use vary depending on what the intention is. I would like to slowly work up to 35 grams of dietary fiber per day (per the suggestion of many nutritionists).

Has anyone tried using Metamucil as a supplement? Any good/bad experiences (I know it has to be introduced gradually). My ultimate goal would be to use it (along with exercise) to complete a balanced diet. I know that fiber provides a 'full' feeling and reduces the urge to eat. I also know that it requires more calories for digesting. Just wondering if anyone has given this a try?
