Health - 27 March 2007

I have what my family calls "chicken skin," I don't know if that is the correct term or not. On my arms and legs is where I mostly have this problem, but it also occurs on my stomach and back, and I've had it since I was little. It basically just looks like I have bumpy skin. It's normal coloring & etc, just rough/bumpy. The bumps on my arm, however, are red, where as every where else they are not. How can I get smoother skin? Is there a skin product that can solve my problem? A doctor a long time ago told me it was a form of acne, I don't know if this is correct or not. Is there a medication I should try? Anyone have any kind of information or advice?

I dont mean the "eat this but not this" kind of diet I mean the kind where you dont eat snacks and skip lunch and breakfast and then only eat a little for dinner.I know most of you will freak out and say that it doesnt matter but it does.I have to be able to wear a bathing suit around a bunch of people in like two months so Im gonna probably do the diet until Im happy with my weight and then stop no prob.
I need to lose like 10-20 lbs and then Ill be the size I really wanna be!My friends are flipping out and telling me to stop cause Im gonna hurt myself but Im not gonna keep doing it and doing it and doing it Im just gonna do it until Im my "perfect size"

I do circuit training every day, and have been doing so for a while. I developed good stomach muscles by doing situps and crunches, but now it seems that the more CT I do, the more of this muscle I lose!
Can anybody tell me why I am losing it?! And what should I do to get the muscle and then keep it?

i have a problem i want to get in shape but for me working out is boring. how do i find workouts that actually work? how do i keep myself driven to keep working out? ive already asked people to go with me and noone has time. i tried signing up for a health club and had a personal trainer that put me through this boot camp workout and i was so sick for a whole day. so the health club thing doesnt work for me. what can i do?

I know there is no magic pill. However, there are so many advertisments on TV and in magazines to lose weight quickly. I weight 215 and am 5'9 and would like to drop to 175. Please don't say exercise cause I already do. I have a slow metabolism and I'd like to boost it.

My father was alcoholic, he wasnt a bad person, he was just in emotional pain, but he couldnt be the best father cause he had to deal with his own issues, lots of things happen in his life that made it harder for his recovery, he hit bottom really hard and started drinking and automedicating like a maniac, he lost it. He molested me once right before his death, then he commited suicide. My mom was left with the responsability of raising 3 of us. Me 8 years old, Pau 7, Fabi 15. We moved to another city, it was a very dangerous city, not a very healthy place to grow up, my mother was not very aware of the situation of this place, she moved there because we have extended family there. She invested in a home and a business which made it more difficult to just leave and start over again, she was drained. So we stayed and seriously this place is a mess (murders, shootings, rapes, etc.)
My mother was so stressed out that she became cold and withdrawn, which also affected us.

I have a question. I've had brown vaginal discharge for about 5 days now. I start my period in a few days, but I've heard that it might be old blood that's making it brown. But that just doesn't make sense that i get before my period, or is it??? I'm not pregnant and I've never had an infection. My diet has changed a little. I've been exercising more and eating less/healthy. I can't figure it out.
