I have soda, 0-2 times a week. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, a lot of dairy and wheat, and some meat. My problem is I eat a lot afterschool(i have a healthy packed lunch). What can I do to lose a few pounds and change my eating habits?

I just started college this past fall at 170. Somehow between all nighters and working I have managed to put on 30 lbs. I am still comfortable with myself though. But with summer approaching, I would like to try to lose some of the weight. I just found out about two months ago that I have arthritis in my knee and in my hip, which is a shock since I use to do track and up until the beginning of school was always very active. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can workout and lose the weight without affecting my joints? I am also a full-time waitress so I dont want to constantly be exhausted and I have already changed my diet to including more fruits, veggies and water.

I have been working out and eating consciously since mid February. I have lost about 15 pounds. The first 8-10lbs. just flew off but the last 5 have been slowly creeping off with lots of effort. How can I stimulate the weight loss process into a higher gear?

My dad was diagnosed with Wegeners granulomatosis vasculitis about 4 1/2 years ago at that time he was given 6mth to a year to live thankfully God has blessed us and he is still with us but he is still battleing this disease to this day he has never went into remission it took his kidneys shortly after his diagnosis and he has been on dialysis since it has moved into his lungs but so far they have been able to keep that part of it somewhat in control and we think it may have moved into his sinuses recently he has such a hard time with this disease and has pretty much been given a death sentence by the doctor twice once in the begining and again about a year later but he has kept fighting and is still here he is still on chemo but the last time when it was time to start chemo again the doctor was wanting to back off from it which is very scary i would like to hear others experience with this good or bad you dont have to spare me i already know its an ugly thing to deal with -thank you!!

I have heard that that taking thyroid meds will help you lose weight. My friend that is underweight right now ( i think ) is taking her husbands thyroid meds. His thyroid had stopped working all together, so i'm sure he is on the strongest meds they have. I have not confronted her about this but when i do i want to be perpared. What kind of damage could this do besides unhealthy weight loss

I plan on running 20 minutes a day whenever i can (which is about 4-5 days), lifting weights (and pushups), ab workouts, and lunges. I also plan to eat around 1500 calories a day since my BMR knocks out all those calories and then i can burn even more through exercise.

Is this a good plan and/or is there some other things i can do to help me lose weight? I plan to lose about 40 pounds by february. Thanks in advance.

I had no food allergies growing up (I'm now 27), but yesterday and today I had a reaction from something in my Chicken Salad. The reaction was worse the second day. I took Benadryl and it helped. If I have developed a new allergy, how do i find out what I'm specifically allergic to? Any input would be appreciated

My BMI says that i am overweight. I have always had issues with my weight, mostly due to what is considered sexy in todays society. i just want other peoples opinion of what i should do? lose weight or stay the way i am. i want to lose weight but my husband doesnt want me to. its more of a self image issue. i think that if i lost weight i would feel better about myself.

I know this isn't a question. Delete me if you want. But I have information about questions that have already been answered. I am trying desperately to get this information out to people who are facing a surgery that isn't very likely to be effective.

I was dating this guy for sometime & we finally had consensual sex. He didnt have any condoms but I did & I gave it to him & he put it on. In the "middle" of it all he "stopped" for what appeared to be a split second then continued & we were done. As we lay there I asked him if he wanted me to move so he could go "dispose" off the condom but he told me ever so non chalantly.."oh I took it off... I told you I didnt care for condoms & anyways I'm clean..." I was shocked & infuriated that he took it upon himself to take off the condom & "go bare". I called my doctor the next day & set up an appointment to get tested for any & all STD's. A couple of tests later my Dr. informed me I had HPV. I'm mad as hell & hurt.. I never got to talk to him again (not that I wanted to) but it bothers me to this day that someone could have done this to me. I dont trust men anymore & I'm scared of having sex. What could I/should I have done? I still want him to pay for what he did to me! Any suggestions?

So I just got back from the dentist, and my estimate for all repairs to my teeth is $21,000. Including 4 root canals, 6 crowns, 2 bridges and 2 porcelin veneirs. Plus laser surgery on my gums because I have gum disease. I am 20 years old and have no way of paying for all this, even through the CareCredit program. I would like to find a dentist who would allow me to just pull them all and get dentures, but it's hard to do when you are only 20. Anyone have any advice, opinions?

I am on a very low calorie diet, which yes I can handle for the rest of my life if need be. I'm going to try to wean back into a more normal diet once I am done with this. Let me remind you that I'm doing great on this diet and I'm never hungry or tired.

Ok so basically this is what I eat every day.

9 am- quaker rice cake 35 cals
11 am- salad w/ grilled chicken OR feta cheese 60 cals
1 pm- apple 60 cals
3 pm- 1/2 quaker rice cake w/ jam 40 cals
5 pm- 1/2 quaker rice cake w/ jam 40 cals
7 pm- whole grain pasta or rice (sometimes a baked chicken breast) 200-400 cals
8-10 pm (if i start to crave something! )- quaker rice cake with jam or 1 apple 60 cals

I also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and take a fiber supplement

MY QUESTION
Does this keep my metabolism up? Becuase when I started this, I found this my body temperature seemed to rise quite a bit and I am constantly very hot all the time. My mother says this is because I'm constantly eating.. Is this true?

Our church was looking at putting in a new floor and when we brought contractors in to give estimates they told us that the old floor was put down using asbestos floor glue. Now we have heard two different stories from two different contractors. One says we should remove it the other says we don't have to.
