okay, i know swimsuit season is coming up and i REALLY need to get rid of this big stomach of mine. its not huge, but u get the idea. i need some exersizes to do at HOME. i dont have the time to go to a gym, im very busy. just some quick and not hard exersizes to do at home. PS: i already know about crunches!! something other than that please!
by the way, i am 13 and 5' 4" and weigh 108
i work out a lot, like dancing, gymnastics, running, volleyball, etc. but that does not help my little pooch (stomach fat!) it is the lower stomach

I have this small rash on my neck right under my right side jaw, and it's from shaving. Like if i don't shave for like more than a day then the small red bumped area goes away, but as soon as i shave it comes back. I've tried washing it with anti-bacterial sopa afterwards, and yes i replace my razor about once a week, so i don't know why it keeps doing that. Is there any kind of methods are creams that i can use to make this go away? And it didn't use to do this till around 3 or4 months ago when it just all of a sudden just started appearing. Just explain some methods or anything to help make it go away. Thanks!

I have had heartburn for 5 days now and it will not go away. I have taken over the counter meds and if it does work, it's only for a short time. With each day the heartburn gets worse and I will be seeing my Doctor Thursday. But I really need something for it now!!! I cut out anything that could have been giving me the heartburn in the first place. Is there anything I can do now, like a home remedy to ease this? I don't eat or drink dairy, so that is out.

My father passed away in November and since then I've been very unmotivated. I'm a graduate student, who needs to study at least 5-6 hours a day. But today for example, all I did is watch tv, even though I knew that I have a huge test on Thursday. Are there any suggestions to help me? I see a counselor once weekly, but am also afraid to try some anti-depressants. After learning some of the side effects and the science behind them, I'm scared to do so.

I don't have many objective people to turn to, and my mother passed away three years ago. So I don't have her either.

Any true suggestions? I'm a very smart cookie, and love the work I am doing. But how can I get out of this funk?

Thanks for everyone's help.

I'm 18 years old and I have soto's syndrome. It's a really rare disorder from I can tell. I googled it and basically got just a paragraph about it. I ask my parents about it but they literally ignore me. It would make me feel alot better if they just told me they didnt know much about the disorder but throughout my life whenever ask them for information they just change the subject. Yet they'll be quick to question why I do stuff the way I do and they'll call me "mentally retarded" I just need answers about what exactly it is...

Recently I have been under a lot of stress and preasure and I am just really grumpy. So I am recently getting really angry about little things. I don't want to break down crying (unless it is in private in my room or something), which I always do even if it isnt that big of an issue. So instead, I have been casing mild pain to myself. Like if I get really mad at someone and I don't want to lose it and scream, I gently bite down on my tongue. It doesn't severaly hurt, it doesn't come close to bleeding, it just lets me vent a bit. Sometimes I bite my tongue, other times I dig my fingernail into my other fingers. There aren't any scars or anything, and I think it helps me a lot. Is this bad?

I'm kind of feeling down about it right now but i'm not overweight, i'm 5'9" and i fluctuate around 161-165.
I dont exactly exersize everyday and I know i need to start doing that but I do watch what I eat and steer away from high fat high carb foods.
I'm just curious because i'm not a guy and dont know what they find attractive. and I want to know if I need to work extra hard to get the annoying fat off of my stumache to get a guy to ask me on a date.
any opinions?
i know for a fact i'm not the only girl wondering this question

So for the last month or so, I've gotten headaches almost everyday if I don't take an asprin. However, I think that my mastoid is bruised because I hit it on my brother's car a couple of months ago, and it hurts on the lightest pressure. My dad thinks I could have mastoiditis because I've complained of an ear infection, a common part of mastoiditis. However, when I went to the doctor, I didn't have an ear infection, and the symptoms of the infection aren't regular, just off and on for a while.
Any suggestions to get rid of the headaches?

no matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up after about 4 to 5 hours completely refreshed and I feel perfectly fine throughout the day. But my doctor said I need more sleep. I don't know how to get any more because I feel completely awake after 5 hours. Also, I physically CANNOT sleep in past 6.

Whenever I sleep in the afternoon and then go take something out of the fridge, my mom has always told me not to because I can catch a cold.
How does doing this have a higher percentage of catching a cold, then without sleeping?
