I am 5ft4" and used to weigh over 220lbs. I have been exersing and eating healthily, not dieting just being sensible, eating only if hungry and stopping when full etc. I am down to around 183lbs, my goal is 133lbs.

I used to go out jogging but could not put up with the stares and the jibes, i would end up coming home and cyring because i was so fat, i was not getting praise for actually trying to do something about it.

Anyway, I have since then bough a treadmill and do about 30mins a nightm i do one minute at 4km per hour, another at 8kn per hour and so on. this is still quite hard for me but I can do it. My main concern is that my great weightloss has just stopped! Any ideas how I can kick start the loss again? I am geting so fed up, I don't want to go to the gym, i am not confident enough for that, and i still do not have the confidence to go out side to exercise!

Low body fat/weight can make you miss your period?

I'm 5'6" and 127..is that fine?

Because the past two times it's been super super light and before that I never got it so...I heard someone say that and was wondering if it was true or not.

Thanks.

Well, I started my cycle, and usuall the first day is the absolutely the worsest day. Well, anyway.. the pain was so severe, and I took like 4 midols in one day. The strange thing is that the midol gave me the craziest feeling. I felt as if I was floating, and my mind was very clear. I don't know whether I took to many, but the bottle says that the maximum about that can be taken in a day is 8. I am still wondering what caused this. Btw, I am not a drinker so I know that it was not alcohol related. Any ideas?

i've stopped drinking soda and high sugar drinks. i usually just drink milk in the morning, and water throughout the day. I also have been portioning my right, and i have stopped eating chips, candy, ice cream, etc. I eat 3-5 healthy meals a day. Im also pretty sure that I exercise enough too. (but any good exercises that i can do at home without equipment would be nice to know too). but I am stuck at a plateau right now. all i want to lose is about 10 pounds. that way, i can finally look good before summer. does anyone know ANYTHING that can help me????

Ive been sexually active since six months ago. But, ever since I started having sex my periods have become VERY irregular. They were irregular to start with but now they are ridiculous. Ive had a few pregnancy scares but nothing ever happened. I havnt had sex since before my last period, and while i was waiting for that one i thought i was pregnant too. That last period lasted for about 8 days. I guess what Im asking is could I be pregnant and if it isnt even remotely a possibility then does anyone know if sex changes the cycle of periods? Could this be due to stress?

The heels on my feet suddenly began to hurt. It's to the point where I have to lean a bit forward on the ball of my feet just so I can take some of the pressure off my heels. It feels like a dull achy pain.

I'm not a runner nor do I do any other sports (shame on me) I consider myself somewhat healthy and currently in good health.

I know some people pull their fingers back to make them "click". A friend of mine said doing this can give you arthritis, but I've heard it doesn't make you anymore likely to get it.

PLEASE READ:
I’m pretty sure each year around springtime; I’ve had a runny nose and heavy-feeling eyes. My grandmother thinks its allergies, but my mom thinks I’ve just been unlucky with the common cold in spring (changing of temperatures could have a lot to do with it). I’m not sure though, I mean, I have a runny nose but it’s not like when I have a cold. It’s a lot more tolerable and manageable. However, I do feel tired and exhausted each day like my brain is overworking and not making a lot of sense.

But I haven't been taking them at the same time of the day, and I haven't missed any so far, but I had sex yesterday and Im afraid that It could REALLY increase my chances of getting pregnant?

There are very few options for the severely mentally ill. Therefore most of them are homeless or in prison. It seems the government and insurance companies see these persons as a "drain" on our society....so they offer little or nothing to help them. What happens to persons with mental disorders in other countries?

I want to go into PT (physical therapy). Can someone give me an idea of what to expect so I can better prepare myself? I'm working on getting a BS in Kinesiology specializing in exercise science. I've taken most of my prereqs. and had very little trouble with most of them (except physics was a little hard). I'm thinking of going into a DPT program but I'd love to hear about MPT programs as well.

I've noticed in about the past month my short term memory has gotten abysmal. I constantly am going into another room to look for something, and before I get in there I forgot why I went. Or I'll get on the computer to look something up, but before Google comes up i'll have no clue what I was just going to look for.

The loss happens in just seconds, and has been increasing in frequency to where now it happens about 20-30 times a day. Before this, it would happen occasionally, but now its getting to the point I am getting worried. Any thoughts?

I am 23 and female.

Ladies, c'mon, I admire your desire to work out and get in shape. But save the spandex and sports bras for AFTER you drop that 40 pounds. In the meantime wear some baggier stuff that covers up the flab.

When I sleep alone I have to have a light on or I can't go to sleep. When it is dark I see figures of things and the shadows scare me. I am a very normal person but when I talk to anyone about it they just think I am joking or something. My grandma used to stand at my door when I was younger and tell me to go to sleep or she would come scare me. She died.
