Health - 16 March 2007

Well I am a 10th grader and my grades are 90 and above. I am trying to keep my grades very high because I want to become a dentist. I don't want to be a dental hygenist because I prefer to be a dentist.

Well today at carreer day, I got to meet a dental hygenist and she told me it was a very competetive field. She also told me the only top 2% of the dentistry class get to become a dentist outta the rest of the students in the class. That is a very narrowing field to go in and she told me peopel end up changing their majors because of this.

I want to know how hard is it to become a dentist? Did you experiance this narrowing proccess to get your dream job you have today as a dentist.

Also she said she only works 40 hours a week and gets paid around 60,000. SHe said she loves the time and pay of her job. Also I wanted to know how many hours does the dentist work?

OK, this is fun. I'll try this again. I was joking with my boyfriend, the only way he could do anal with me, was if he was Justin Timberlake or Brad Pitt. In that case, he could nut up my butt anytime he wanted to. He got so freaking jealous LOL.

So what celebrity would you totally give yourself to without question and specifically what naughty things would you do for him and let him do to you, that you wouldn't do for your bf or hubby??? Details please. Get creative girls, let's have some fun with this :)

I'm quite over weight, 190 lbs and 5'7" and I just can't handle the humilation anymore. Over the past month i'v started eating very healthy food in smallar proportions and moderate excersise and i'v only lost 7 pounds. I'v heard that drinking green tea regularly can help boost metabolism. I'm not looking for a miracle or anything but is this true?

i'm a 21 year old female, 5'2" and weigh 93 lbs today. but i dream of the day where i'll maintain 85 lbs only. gaining a pound or two makes me feel really disgusted with myself. most days i'm not hungry, or i ignore the hunger pains until they go away because i hate most foods and the process of eating. sometimes i care about how many calories my food has and sometimes i try not to think about it. lately this has become an obsession... i love seeing my ribs and hips stick out but no matter what i do, i feel like my body looks disgusting and fat. i've been this way since childhood basically. lately, i usually eat one food item during the day and then a small dinner at night. i feel like a failure because i can't fight my hunger any more. i'm eating way too much food! if i'm angry or upset, my appetite is the first to go and i can't eat for hours and hours. i used to exercise excessively but now my knees are shot. i'm just not sure if this is what it feels like to have anorexia?

Do you have to always warm-up in some way? Or can you build muscle by doing sit ups and push ups on one day and cardio on another. Does it only work if you have can get your heart rate up? If I'm just sitting here watching tv, is it worth doing crunches if I haven't warmed myself up at all? Or will it not do anything at all? I do boxing three days a week as it is which includes a lot of skipping and bag work but I was just thinking of something to do instead of just sitting here.

I'm 16 and was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism 2 years ago. I had gone from 110lbs to about 150lbs in a matter of months (Because my doctors had given me medication to stabilize me, but ended up making me hypothyroid by over doing it) . I had been working out alot and gradually losing weight. I think I weigh about 129lbs now, but I'd like to keep losing weight. I realize that I can only eat certain foods and no iodine. Does anyone have any tips to what will help me lose weight and what is okay for me to eat? Also, after 2 years my throat is still a little swollen, will that ever go down?

Are there any webistes that can tell me the calories in Juicy Juice juice boxes? I asked this earlier, but no one really answered.

The reason I want to know is because next week I am going in for a colonoscopy, and I am being put on a clear liquid diet. I am looking for the best juice with the LEAST calories...so any ideas are appreciated!!

Thank you.!
