If I just do pushups and situps and squats, will that improve my appearence? Or will I look weird because it will only build up certain muscles? I'm looking for tone not mass, and I hate weights.

My mother went to the hospital the other day due to not feeling well. She was really dizzy, nauseas, vomiting. They tested her blood sugar, O2 stats, she had an EKG, they tested sodium and did blood work. The only thing they came up with is that her blood sugar was almost 300. The doctor put her on some pills to bring it down but over 24 hours later she is still feeling ill and tired. She doesn't think it was the blood sugar but all the tests were fine. She also was on a blood pressure cuff for 3 hrs and they said it was fine. I can't think of anything that they didn't test for that it could be other than a nasty strain of the flu. She can't be pregnant since she doesn't have those parts anymore.

What is better decline (or incline not sure what it would be called) crunches or level crunches? Level crunches meaning being level to the ground.

My mom asked me a ???? Today and I don't know how to answer her because I have never had this issue... Here for the past year she only gets a period maybe once every 2-3 months.. and this time, she was concerned because she was changing her tampon every hour... and she has been having a lot of clots... She has never had them before either.... And she said that they were lik 1/2 dollar sized and (here is the gross part) she said that it looked like thick solidified jello... I am just wandering if that was normal or if not, what could be causing it.. She is mid 40's, anemic, hyperthyriod, smoker, and like 5'0 110 lbs... Any ideas??? Thanks!!!

What is it about fried fat that makes people's mouth water so much? Like fried fish and chips for example ? Or a Big Mac and Large Fries?
What is it that makes people hunger for fried fattening foods(fast food) and junk food?

I have become almost a vegetarian (I eat only a little lean meat each week), but I swear I still get cravings for these types of foods? (Onion Rings)
I just was curious if anybody has any scientific facts or studies or just an opinion on why it is so tasty? I almost feel like my life is boring sometimes just eating healthy only!

This week, it will be 4 months since we had to put my dog Tyson to sleep. It has been really hard for me and my family... almost seemed unreal. He had lung cancer & we didn't know he had it until it was too late. We guess it was hereditary... we may never know. He was only 4 yrs old. With him I lost a major part of my spirit.... He was like a second younger brother to me and more. I Love him and Miss him soo much and there's not a day that will go by when I don't think of him. Since then, I light a candle and communicate with him before I go to sleep... just to get my feelings out. It does help as weird as it sounds. And In a weird way... It feels likes he's still here. This week, I've also been having bad dreams about him... but I can't really remeber them. I know they're so bad that I wake up crying at night. What could this mean and how can I keep coping with his loss?

Say you're seeing a woman and starting to have real feelings for her. Before the relationship becomes intimate, she lets you know she carries the Herpes virus. (no symptoms or outbreaks, ever.) I'm wondering how many men would bail at this point.
If *not*....at what point in the new relationship should this be revealed? I'm assuming that if you knew this from the start, you might not even blink at her again. After getting to know her, it might be a different story.
My question, really, is, :if real feelings are developing, would this information make you end the relationship?

Im 19 and i have ocd. I have noticed lately that it is getting a little worse. There was a time for a few years where i hardly ever though about it or let it affect my life. I also told my best friend late last year about it. So i guess now it is somewhat more real now that someone knows about it.

My problem now is the day to day rituals aren't getting worse but my thinking is. Im really negative in my mind and im finding it really hard to control my thoughts. The things i think about scare me and im really scared im going to become depressed if i cant get a handle over these thoughts. I feel like i have no control in my life anymore and i cant stand it, i have a massive need for perfection and to be in control of everything that happens in my life. Anyone with ocd have advice? Besides go see a doctor or get medication..

i recently went to the denist and found out that one of my two front teeth is dead. I was wondering why it was darker than all the others but had no idea it was dead. It is also slightly more forward. I havent had a root canal and my dentist says I don't need to do anything about it. I hate that it's darker than my other front tooth and want to know if there is anything I can do to whiten it?? I had braces for 7 yrs and used to have a perfect smile. What can I do to fix this?!?!?!
