Health - 14 April 2007

So my family has a history of heart disease, and up until a couple years ago, when I was about 13, I was a really fat kid.
Since then, I have been trying really hard to get in shape.
The strange part is, even though I'm a guy, I can't seem to get rid of the fat deposits around my breasts, hips, butt, and thighs.
I'm actually really skinny otherwise, and the aforementioned places don't have a TON of fat, but I just think that the fat I have is pretty disproportional.
I mean, I can grab fat around my stomach and lower stomach (intestinal?) reigon, but it's not a lot.
On my male breasts however, I can get a good handfull of fat.

I was wondering how I could get rid of this.
I'm 16, with a very good amount of access to healthy foods, which I tend to eat a lot of.
A problem is that I only have a moderate to low amount of access to real workout equipment, and the closest gym to my house is at least a 45 minute drive away.

Any eating/home workout tips that I could use to get rid of this fat?

Hi, im 27 years old,

Can someone tell me if this is really bad?

Tomorrow I will be taking a trip with a group from school for a project. I'm packing some medicines just in case I need them. (mild pain killers, pepto, acid reducer, allergy medicine) However I have some really bad problems with my knees popping out which ends up with me limping or on the floor. I have two left over meds from previous doctor visits about this problem, darvocet and lodine. Which would cause the least drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea? Serious answers please.

I have had braces for a year now and pretty much all of my teeth are straight. The only teeth that need to be fixed are my canine teeth (the vampire teeth). They are just slightly above the rest of my teeth, but not much. How much longer??
