Health - 20 February 2007

I finally have reached my goal weight (135 lbs. and I'm 5'6"), but I am still flabby. I'm happy with the weight and I think I look pretty good with clothes on. I was in the 160s after I had my baby. He's two now. My stomach is soft and sticks out, and I have some saddlebags. Should I still do at least 30 minutes of cardio 3 days a week or should I concentrate more on weight machines and toning? How often, what exercises, and for how long? I can't seem to flatten my abs at all or tone up anywhere! Informed and detailed answers, please.

i have idolised this man as my hero for so long, i am obsessed...everything mostly from his deep melodic scales in his music and even to his cool *** looks and attitude....i think i have developed an obsession and its controlling my life in a way. i know he's just human but the riffs in his music and especially those melodic scales in his solo's shake something inside of me that nearly brings me to tears. i know some will tell me to get a life, but for those out there that have something helpfull to say, i appreciate it.

So my wife will often tell me she NEEDS chocolate during her period, that it provides vitamins that NO OTHER food or vitamin pill can provide. To be honest with you, I find this to be a crock, I don't think women NEED chocolate during that time, I think it is just an excuse??

Are there are kinds/causes of 'spasmic reactions' that also cause the body to relax? Epilepsy?

Also, do women have different intensity of orgasms than males which doesn't result in the body wanting to relax after the orgasm?

i crave chocolate somethin' fierce. and if there's sweets in the house i have to avert my eyes or else i want to eat them! my husband eats sweets every night after dinner --- sometimes he eats like two or three servings. now, he is VERY fit and active and not concerned about gaining weight. i'm average build, not overweight but want to stay that way. my question is, are my cravings the result of some other deficiency i can address? are there any tricks for keeping these kinds of cravings at bay? help!

I am a gastric bypass patient, meaning i've lost over 100lbs. I'm 22 years old currently weighing around 150lbs. I need to tone my body and still need to lose 20 more lbs. I joined the gym already but I'm confused. everyone gives you a different opinion. I do not want to end up looking like a body builder. I'm assuming 30-60 min. cardio is good to lose weight. And I think when it comes to strenth training (arm/leg machines?) I should be doing little weight but more repitition/sets. Am I right???

I heard from some guys that anal sex will make your hips spread and your butt bigger by causing some sort of swelling internally. I know this sounds silly but really, is it true?

I have a serious sugar addiction. I can't get enough of it. When I'm stressed out, or bored, or mad, sweets make me feel better. Baked items and candy are good, but milk chocolate is the worst of my addiction! I know how harmful sugar is to the body over time. Any suggestions on how to kick the habit? I've tried quitting cold turkey twice, but I relapsed. Any suggestions?
