Ok, have you heard that if you cut 500 calories a day (3500) a week, you will lose a pound a week? From what I understand it's a well respected and accepted notition.

I am 5'8, weigh 165 lbs. I've read that someone my size should weigh about 150-155 lbs and consume 1900-2000 calories to maintain a natural and healthy sized bodies. I've made it to the 165 lbs by overeating, lets say 2500 calories.

so in order to lose thepound a week, do I need to consume 2000 calories (what i eat - 500 calories) or do i need to consume 1500 (what i eat - 500)?

It's drying up and bunching and tightening the skin around it. If i open up my hands (ex. to do a high-five), it tears and bleeds. How do i keep it from drying up?Or is this just part of the healing process?

My girlfriend and i had sex about 6-8 weeks ago. Everything was fine, we used protection and nothing broke and I was very careful. Now she gets nausea about every for the past few days, headaches, she vomited one of the few days. She gets a little dizzy sometimes. But she had her period twice already and it was normal for her. She also says she may of lost wieght. Also she said she just stop taking her Paroxetine HCL. Its almost the same symptoms. The doc said its bc she stop taking her meds instead of stop taking it gradually. I am worried she may be pregnant. Also she stop taking her iron pills and went back on it. Has anyone ever gone through this or maybe can help me out?
Thanks.

It is in the distal head of my fibula which I have no recollection of injuring. orthopod says pain is coming from the bone, not tendons/ligaments. so the xray shows a dark lession in the head of the fibula which corresponds to the location of the pain! UGH We are following up with and MRI and follow up on Friday.....moved up a week and a half, and just a few days is killing me. I am 34 F with no history of cancer and I am not sick....just fat. I have broken down today and got some ativan from the doc to get me throuhg this....I am a HUGE MESS! What can it be? If they find something in the mri will they do a biopsy? If it is simply a cyst what do they do to get it out of there? What posible cancers could be growing there and what do they mean! GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!!!!! And the best thing is my work is not gonna let me take a sick day on Friday to go to and adsorb my appointments....isn't there something illegal about not letting me use my sick days?

I am 21 years old. I have used a computer since I was 5. In the last few months I have a slight tingling/asleep feeling in my right hand. I am right handed so I also use a mouse with that hand. I work in an office and go to school for a degree that requires ALOT of typing. I spend an average of 20 hours a week on a computer if not more due to my job. My wrist 'pops' around 10 times a day.Could this be carpal tunnel? I thought carpal tunnel was painful. Mine isnt, just uncomfortable.

What can I do about it other than surgery? Something low cost, but I cant give up my job or typing. Pain relievers do not work.

It sounds odd that someone would be allergic to fruits, but whenever I eat watermelons, my throat starts to get really itchy and uncomfortable.

I've been to the Doctor with the bumps but was there for something else not really aware to ask what the outbreak was...during the same visit I had a paps smear and my doctor never asked any questions about my outbreak...anyway I was being tested for some symptoms I was having and within everything I was tested for turns out my outbreak couldn't possibly be from any type of STD's.
