I'm eating 800 calories a day and running four miles 5 days out of the week... i'm in a total rut... please help me understand... thanks in advance

I'm trying to get in shape for the summer and have been running 4 miles every night. Now I'm hearing that I should also be lifting weights in an effort to "sculpt" while I tone. Problem is: I have no access to weight machines. Anybody know some excercises that can give me the same benefits as lifting weights? Please don't tell me to pick my husband up above my head fifteen times in sets of three... thanks in advance...

Silly question, I know. Especially since I am 27 and should know this by now! I only own 6 (one sports bra, one strapless, 4 others). A good bra is expensive and I am told they should be replaced 6 months after purchase. This can get costly. One of my girlfriend's said she has 12 and can't imagine having less. What do you ladies think?

Our 11 year old daughter started complaining of a uncomfortable burning itch. I gave her an anti-itch cream by monistat that our pharmist recommended. It seems to have worked, but this got me thinking. Should it reoccur I'd like to have her checked out. I'm not sure if our peditrician is where to take her or if maybe I should take her for her first trip to see a ob/gyn. She's at such a in-between age that I'm not certain which would be a better choice.

Okay, I suffer from a mental condition called depersonalization, which you probably haven't heard of. It's a stress related disorder that makes me feel like I'm in a dream. I've done a lot of research on it, and if I want this to go away, I believe that I need to see a therapist. Problem is, I don't know how to tell my mother. I'm only 15 and my mom doesn't like for people to show weakness. I'm afraid to tell her. What should I do?

I never really thought about it till my wife told me she closes her eyes. My whole life i have always kept my eyes open. I just look at the ceiling until the dentists face is in the way, then I kind of look through him. The thought never occurred to me to close my eyes, but now that my wife says she closes her eyes, I feel maybe my dentist, and his assistants may think I'm a freak and assume I'm gazing into their eyes.

I'm 34 and want to be sterilised, I'm married without children and we've been together for ten years. I haven't spoken to any doctors yet but I'm wondering what the process is and do you have to convince doctors that is what you really want. I've been wanting to do this for years but thought doctors would send me away to think about it some more, we are both 100% sure this is what we want. How long would it be from first talking to a doctor and then having the procedure

I just started taking Zicam chewable tablets last nite to hopefully get rid of a cold faster that I just got. After looking into Zicam on the internet I saw that there were multiple lawsuits regarding a loss of smell associated with the nasal spray. I've been sick all day and haven't eaten much but I just tried to eat a pizza pocket and I can't taste anything! No joke, it's as if I have no taste buds. This is definitely not from the cold itself; this is pure loss of taste. Has anyone ever heard of this before, and do you know if my taste will come back?

I blame myself for everything and find it very hard, if not impossible to show myself any compassion.

I am having counselling and she is working quite hard at getting me to change towards myself, but I find it difficult. I am also waiting to see a psychiatric doctor for medication for my depression (waited 4 wks so far!).

Have you ever been like that? Have you ever succeeded in changing and if so do you have any suggestions that may help me?

Thanks
