I have great muscle tone... the only problem is that I have a "comfort layer" over it... Especially on my stomach. My stomach doesn't protrude and I don't look too bad... but I want to burn that fat away and show the muscle underneath. It is so stubborn. What is the best way to get rid of it?

My daughter recently started her period. When we talk about it she says that she hates the word "period". She say's, "Mom can't you find a more suttle word for what i'm going through?" I don't really see what the big deal is but if she feels more comfortible calling it something else, i'm all ears. Any ideas ladies? Caution, she is only eleven so no inappropriate suggestions please.

Lantus users: do you take once or twice a day? (I've heard that it's not truly peakless and only lasts about 23 hours).

Detemir users: what have you noticed different from other long-acting insulins you've taken (especially Lantus, but also NPH)?

I want to shrink my stomach so that I don't eat such large portions anymore. I used to eat a lot less and feel full, but a period of binge eating when due to emtional reasons has stretched my stomach and i seem to binge not knowing when i'm full. Whats the best way I can shrink my stomach? Eg, going for long periods without food, or eating small amounts regularly?

My seventeen year old daughter's good friend died last week. She was in a car accident and it all came as a huge shock and my daughter has been beside herself. She refuses to come out of her room, i hear her crying all night. She won't talk much....she says she's too depressed to even talk to me. She won't eat. I am very worried, I know that she is grieving, but is the much grief normal? Please help.

My friends think I'm very skinny but I say that I'm average. Last time I checked I was 112 lbs. I'm 5'6.

I've been running in place/dancing to tone my muscles and my thighs have gotten thinner a bit. Sometimes I obsess about my weight. I binge a bit then exercise for about 2 hours. I eat healthy foods daily. I really do not want to be fat and I've tried to purge before, it hasn't worked.

I think that if I'm underweight, I won't think I need to lose weight anymore. I think that I have an amazing body rarely ever. My tummy hangs over my pants just a little and I hate it.

Am I mentally ill or going through an eating disorder of some sort?

Are there foods to avoid? Should one always be a special diet or just after the operation? Anything else I should know about what to do after the gall bladder is removed?

Is there a way that eye floaters would eventually go away over 5 years?

I don't think I have floaters because they are everywhere In my total view. And they are obstructing my view or vision of things.

I see glimps of dots all over the place where I see its annoying I have it 3 years now.

Please help me.

I have an average size thyroid nodule in the left half of my thyroid. They are recommending I have half of my thyroid removed. They don't believe that it's cancerous and my levels are all normal except I am producing a little excess thyroid hormone. I would prefer to not have surgery and am worried that I will end up having to take medication afterwards. Does anyone know of any alternatives that may help to shrink my nodule (other than radioactive iodine)?
