Anyone have any healthy suggestions on losing weight? I'm going on a cruise on the 23rd and would like to lose a little weight so I can look hot in my bikini. Help!

Ok, I am going crazy with this problem. I am 23 yrs old, 5' 9" and weight around 180 lbs. I am going to gym regularly for about 4 months now and lost only 6 lbs!! I do aerobics (cycling, treadmill, ellyptical) on an average 4 days a week. I work out atleast for 30 mins and sometimes for as long as 1 hr. I am a vegetarian and eat out only about 2-3 meals a week. That too is not a full meal like in a restaurant but just a quick fix meal like a sandwich. I also roughly calculated my calorie intake and believe me on average my food intake is around 1600-1800 calories. Most days even less than 1500.
I think one of the reasons I think is I have to sit at a place and work at job. I go mad when I see people around me (people I know) splurge on all the junk food that I usually avoid and still stay in good shape with no exercise. I miss eating good food and hate to go to gym. If I go to gym, I see marginal results and if i dont, I put on weight insanely even eating less. Any thoughts/comments?

I need someone to help me make my workouts more effective. I am a martial artist with blackbelts in two different forms, play rugby, I am very in shape, and I work out every day (sometimes I take one day a week off if I feel that I need to.). I also do 20 minutes of cardio daily. And to specify, I do heavy lifting with freeweights and machines.

Right now my schedule is a 4 day schedule, and I workout my abs every day because they can be exercised daily. Day 1 I do my biceps and back. Day 2 I work my triceps, shoulders, and chest. Day 3 I work my legs and my core (squats). And day 4 I do intense cardio.

Is this workout a good one? What would really help me is if someone could layout a good daily workout schedule that they do themselves or know works. And I don't want people telling me not to workout every day, because that is what I do. I just want to sharpen my schedule to make my workouts more effective. Thank you for any help!

Okay so I don't have insurance right now until I start my new job so I going here to see if anyone has had these same symptoms. I started with a sore throat that has lasted over a month. My tonsils are huge but not red. I can't really swallow and its affected the way I talk. I have not had a fever. I don't know if this is related but when I got my period I got it three days early and it lasted four days longer than usual. I haven't really been feeling sick except maybe more tired than usual.

I have bad heartburn, severe bloating when I eat, and I get a bad pain in my right side and sometimes on my left. I also have excessive gas. THe doctor said that my red blood cell count is low, but not too low. He also said that my white blood cell count is normal, so I believe that means that my body is not fighting any infections. I am supposed to go see a specialist next week, but I am worried as to what this could be. If anyone has any reasonable suggestions, let me know. I don't want to get blindsided when I see the doctor next week.

I ask this because I never go into the weight room b/c it's very intimidating at the moment (since it's always filled with men, not women)

This morning I removed a tampon (tampax pearl) and the top half ripped off and is lost somewhere inside of me. I used another tampon and not too long ago, the same thing happened, the top half ripped of in the same spot and now I'm quite worried. I'm having cramping which is odd because I'm nearly done with my period. What am I supposed to do about this? This is the first time I have bought tampax pearl and I'm really, really upset.

I've heard and read that radiotherapy is most effective against "early stages" of lung cancer. Usually how long are these "early stages?" One to twelve months? One to six? Help please!

A coworker did something that caused me to have 2 compression fractions and a small herniation of a disk. It occurred over a year ago. I never took but a day off here and there. I have nerve pain in my saddle area, down in my legs and in my feet. Level of pain is driven by activity. It's none surgical. I had chiropractic treatments for many months. I'm waiting to see a doc about injections. I go to work but I have to rest more than most. I always avoid lifting and bending if I can. I don't help out when my coworkers are lifting a lot of things and moving stuff around. Sometimes I just can't take the pain and go home because even just sitting I still have extremely annoying pain. The workers comp claim is still open and its hard to get them to preapprove Dr visits. That's my other issue (it makes me mad). Sometimes I just want to give up and stay home. I control the pain better when I can lay down or recline anytime I need to. At work, I often over do it because I want to help.

I know the placebo effect can somewhat help people, but are there limits to it? Could the placebo effect cure a blind person or save someone from cancer?

Started out with a sore throat. Turned into running nose and severe headaches. Turned into severe productive cough (green phelgm), vomiting and now nose is stuffed up. Fever for 5 days so far. Absoultely no appetite or energy. Chest feels like its being crushed. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night and it felt like there was a band of pain around my chest. I called the squad and my blood pressure and pulse were way up. They said I must have been coughing in my sleep. Tylenol brings my fever down some, but not to normal. Went to doc, gave me antibiotics and Sudafed. Any other suggestions?
