It was in Monday's New York Times, Sports section. I want to learn more about it.

You can see it in my blog or go to the NYT link (but I was having problems with it).

So far I'm doing good with my exercise but I'm not really getting any results. I think it's because of what I'm eating. I'm still having a hard time finding foods that I can eat and not still feel hungry. I'm thinking that I may need to go see a nutritionist or get a trainer or someone who can help me make a meal plan that fits me and not a bunch of people in general. I could use any websites too but I don't know any besides sparkpeople and I don't like their food plans.

I am 23 and a little under 5'8", I've never thought of myself and overweight, but I've never been completely satisfied with my body either. I weight has flucuated between 140-150 since I was about 15. According to a website I was at, my BMI was 22, which I believe is pretty average.

Friends were over a few days ago, and somehow got on the weight topic, a friend said 'what size are you a 4?' I laughed and said "well...these are 9's, so no!"
Just wondering what a good weight for me is, and if 8/9 is a large size.

I woke up Sunday morning with a fever and body aches. I took Tylenol for the fever and pain. I also experienced cold-like symptoms and a mild sore throat. On Monday, I stayed home from school (I'm 14) and experienced the same symptoms with a more severe sore throat and the same high fever. I went to the doctor on Monday and I was prescribed Amoxicillin (first dose= the second of two daily doses on Monday) and a cough mixture (3 daily doeses). I experienced cold-like symptoms Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Since Sunday I have been taking throat lozenges. --

Do I have strep?
When will the anti-biotic kick in and when will I feel better?

I am very curious to know the answer to this. I have a problem, no condition, that when every time I go to urinate, when I am finished I have a few drops of pee still in me that won't come out unless i absorb it with toilet tissue. I can shake and shake and shake and no matter what when I go to put it back up some will still leak out into my underwear and I find that very uncomfortable. I have only noticed one other guy with the same condition. I know because he always uses the toilet to urinate, for the toilet tissue (like me), and if I'm already at the toilet he grabs paper towel before going to the urinal (again like me). So how common is this condition? If you are a male answering this let me know whether or not you experience this and how often. With me it's every single time. Also state whether or not you just let it drip dry or if you use toilet tissue/papertowel to absord it out. If your're a doctor let me know what you have experienced with this.

This question was asked and thankfully good answers were received."Can legal action against Hospital succeed ? A person got his wife aged 49 admitted into a hospital with the complaint of severe chest pain. She died in about four hours. No ECG was taken though it was prescribed. She was sedated and yet she was made to walk through corridors to a washroom. There was no history of any prior heart complaint."
Is it likely that the doctor will strengthen the case against the hospital in his concern for defense? Can he claim legal costs if he is acquitted of any wrong-doing?

Is it safe to breastfeed with breast cancer or cysts? Would cancer or cysts inhibit milk production? Would the baby detect the unhealthy breast and refuse to nurse?

Can't anyone spell the word LOSE correctly?
I must've seen at leats 2 dozen questions, in this categorie, alone in which people state "I want to "LOOSE" weight, or inches etc.

The word LOOSE means to fit big. Example; Since I've lost 30lbs my jeans are very "LOOSE" on me.

The word LOSE, on the other hand, in the case of weight, means to take something away like lbs or inches.

It's a relatively simple, no it's an extremely simple word that nobody seems to know how to spell. WHY?
