i am trying to diet and tone up and i was wondering what are some things that are a 'must do' and what i should definitely cut out of my diet in order to keep weight off and shed some body fat, especially around the stomache area?

any help is much appreciated. anyone who has ideas or does things that work for them, feel free to offer advice. thanks!

I had a bad cut recently that now has a scab. The doctor said no matter what, absolutely DO NOT TOUCH or pick the scab, even if it's dangling or hanging by a thread. (Gross, I know.) So what would you recommmend to put or rub on it? I hear moisturizer works good to dry it out and make it fall off. Any ideas?

When you wear a Tampon...do you have to take it out and change it everytime you pee...or can you just leave it in there.

Okay, I hike LOTS ... and the local news is scarying me with stories about ppl getting bite by rattlers ... but they're not covering how to avoid the rattlers, or what to do if I get bite ... and I'm so a city girl ... I need practical advice so I don't have to give up an activity I love. Thanks in advance!

Do you believe it consists of going subgingival, even in localized 5mm pockets? I need a website that states either. I'm a new graduate of dental hygiene and I believe that a prophy can include going subging. to get the pt clean w/o doing SRP. That's what I was taught, but I can't seem to find it in writing.

It goes in cycles. The first time it happened it was very unannouced..I would get weird cramps but it would be in my upper stomach in the middle, I would feel dizzy and gross. I couldn't eat. In about 3 weeks I lost like 20lbs. everyone thought I had an eating disorder. It would stop me from literally being hungry and i would get sick to my stomach if I even attempted to eat. I also had a loss of energy, I was constantly sleeping and I was lethargic. I also had a day when I was freezing even though it was hot out and I felt like I was being stabbed all over my body. I couldn't get up and had to go to the hospital. I went to get a sonagram and they found nothing-said that I had a lot of gas from not eating but that was it. Now it's starting to happen agian. Does anyone know what it might be and does it sound serious? Help!

Can you start taking this contraceptive pill once your period has finished, or does it have to be on the first day of your next cycle?
