... exactly how many calories/ fat/ carbohydrates there are in food? I mean, if you go to a restaurant for a burger, it just seems there's so many more calories and fat in it than if you make a replica at home! Like, a burger at McDonalds may be around 800 calories, but if you make it the same at home, it could be around 500. So how do they know?

I have wanted to lose weight for a long time, and right now, I need to for my health because all of the old people in my family have diabetes and I am only 18 but I want to do it now so it wont be passed onto me. And I have tried all kinds of diets. I tried the gum diet. Where you chew gum when you get a craving. I have tried the water diet, and the carb diet. I seem to lose like 40 pounds and then gain it all back. It sucks. I know why. Its because I work and go to school all the time, plus my diet is HORRIBLE, and I am lazy when it comes to going to the gym by myself. I get bored really easily. Its not that I want to wear Britney Spears skank clothes. I want to be healthy. And I want to be healthy before I have a baby. And I want a more exciting sex life. LOL its great but I want to be able to do alot more. But if any of you can help... Please do

My father was diagnosed with hardening of the arteries in 2000. He had brain surgery in 1996 and his pituitary gland was completely killed off by the radiation. No one ever checked that until he had crazy symptoms...including high cholesterol that would not go down with meds. Needless to say, he now takes coumadin and levoxyl (as well as numerous other meds). He is 61. He was told that he has hardening of the arteries due to the 4 years of high cholesterol, on top of a lifetime of smoking and bad eating habits. Now, every time he has an ache or pain, he thinks he is dying because he thinks the hardening is a death sentence. I don't know enough about it but am going to begin going to his doc appts b/c he does not give you the whole story. Back in 2000, he had lost control over one side of his body due to this, but then they diagnosed it and gave him the meds and it never happened again. I do know this is irreversible but would like to know what questions to ask tomorrow. Thanks

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression. After hearing my family history, which included two depressed parents and a mother who drank and smoked weed while pregnant with me, and giving me nuerological tests, my doctor is pretty sure I am genetically predisposed to depression. I've tried therapy, but I didn't get anything from it. Talking it out doesn't make me feel any better. I've tried altering my behavior and taking up new activities, but nothing fulfills me. I am currently on medication, but it has side effects (insomnia, mood swings, nausea, headaches etc.) just like the three other meds I tried before it. I cannot recall anytime in my life when I considered myself happy and I spend most of my time in a state of total apathy.

Are people like me basically doomed to being unhappy and/or taking medication that may or may not work and has unpredictable side effects? I'd appreciate any thoughts and advice.

And if you read all this, thanks.

Ok, I am 22, and I smoked pot for the first time approximatley 3 weeks ago. I shared two 'blunts' among friends. I wasn't impressed, and haven't done it since.

But, I had to take a drug test for a new job a couple of days ago. What would you assume the results will be? I'm slightly nervous, and just mad at myself for being so stupid...

thanks for your time!

Okay, is it a school policy or a law that says schools can't give medicines to the students without a doctor's note?

I have had to deal with cramps for the last three hours and I still can't get home for at LEAST another forty minutes. Do you think I could complain about this, or is this a law that I can't fight? And ladies, has anyone else ever had this happen to you?

True or false?

We see loads of fat people all the time and those people obviously have low self-image; they are too insecure to join workout at the gym.

Only guys and girls with big ego's hang out at the gym. They love watching themselves flex.
