I have gained a lot of weight lately. I want to lose 20kgs in total (44 pounds). I have been on many diets in my life, and I always end up gaining more than I lost. I don't want that to happen again. I heard a doctor say that we should lose 1/10 of our weight per year, then remain stable for a year, then lose another 1/10 and so on. But this way, it would take me about 5 years to lose the weight. The question is, is it OK to lose the 20 kilos in one year? Has anyone done that and managed to keep the weight off for a long time (more than 2-3 years?)

Are you supposed to go to a medical doctor or go talk to a psychiatrist first- and if my doctor prescribed me something, would that mean I would have to also go through some kind of therapy?

I don't even be brushing it that hard. Just hard enough to get the white stuff off. I brush in the morning and at night.

I stopped cycling completely (was doing 30+ miles a day) for about 3 months replacing the cycling with rowing daily. I have gained muscle from the rowing however I have gained a few pounds (face isn't as thin). I need to trim up again. My question is, how to fit the rowing in with the cycling without losing the strength I have built up from rowing? My guess is 1hr+ cycling followed by rowing until I feel tired. Thanks!

I have a sixteen year old daughter who has needed new glasses every six months for the past four years. She has previously been diagnosed with convergence insufficiency and a Mittendorf dot. She got her first pair of glasses at age nine. Bad vision runs in the family, nine out of 12 of her immediately family members also wear glasses, but none of them have showed the constant, chronic deterioration in vision she is experiencing. Her vision has gone from -1 to -4 diopters over the past four years, which maps to about 20/200. She is severely hearing impaired so crystal clear vision is very important to her to maximize her ability to read lips. Her opthamologist has been useless other than to issue new prescriptions. Yes I know, get another doctor, unfortunately easier said than done given my insurance plan. Any ideas about what might be causing this, when it might stop, or things we can investigate to make it stop?
