Im a female and i wanna slim down yet tone up. I don't wanna get bulky or muscly. Im doing an hour cardio work everyday with light weights. Im not on a specific diet, Im just having less calories and slightly less carbs.

Would I become muscly if i eat lots of protein with this excercise regime?

Please help! 10 points for the best answer..

I'm currently 6'0 about 285. I'm obviously trying to lose weight, but want to start back up on weiht lifing along with my cardio. Will I just make myself bulkier looking, and gain weight, or will the weights help me lose weight along with the cardio? Thank You.

Ok...so when I was little I used to have night terrors but they have stopped ever since I moved to the house I live in now. But sometimes before I go to bed and I am trying to fall asleep my whole body goes numb and I get really scared for no reason and I see faces ...and I can't even describe how scary it is. And its hard to snap out of and I just lay there super scared until it ends. I can't move no matter how much I want to. I have been doing research and some people get hallucinations called hypnagogic hallucinations which are hallucinations people get between waking and sleeping. Has anyone experienced this sorta thing and does anyone know anything about this? Am I having a "hypnagogic" hallucination?

This really isn't a question, just a suggestion to quit using/eating unhealthy microwave popcorn. Take a small paper bag, like a lunch bag, put in a handful or two of unpopped popcorn, the kind you buy in the l or 2 pound bags. Put in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes (until it stops popping). Use I Can Believe It Isn't Butter spray (no calories) and a little salt. Yummy. Healthy and no fat and hardly any calories. Good for diets when you need a munchie.

I'm about 5'11 and hovering around the 300 pound mark. I want to help myself feel and look better, so I probably need to loose at least 125 pounds. I've already figured on eating less food, and less fast food, but what R good fat burning foods and exercises? My goal is to try to be down around 200 in a year or so, is that resonable?
Thanx for your help!

i drink alot of soda and eat way too much sugar , i never thought much of it before but just recently i became aware of the fact that i probably eat TONSSS more sugar then a normal person, i like snacking and most snacks seem to be sugary, anyway off the point here, so can it cause diabeetees and what would the symptoms be, if i stopped eating processed sugar just all at once would this cause a problem with my body ?

Summer is near, and the perfect thing to go with it is a strong, six-pack stomach.
Im male, 17. Im starting a 90% vegan diet (%10 meat,fish,chicken) and drinking water ONLY. No junk food, fast food, soft drinks, or excess fats or sugars.
Im going to the gym 1 hour (sometimes 1.5), 5 times a week (Mon.-Fri.). I do everything from spinning, weightlifting, abs & push-ups, etc.
Im also planning to run from 30 min. to 1 hour every morning before breakfast.
If i follow this routine, aprox. how long woill it take me to see results (see a six-pack)?
What are some good tips to get a six-pack FAST?
Can a 17 yr old get a six-pack?

I'm on the computer a lot, and I have really bad carpal tunnel in my right (dominant) wrist. For the most part, it's just really annoying and stiff sometimes, but when it flares up (like its doing now) it absolutely kills. I try and wear my brace when I remeber to, but a lot of the times I dont. And also, I have to take it off when I type or else I can't type very well.

Is there anything I can do to help the pain? I'm a teenager, so big expensive bills and surgerys aren't really an option. So anything cheap and easy is good. Thanks in advance!

I was born and raised Mormon and feel that since it's the life of the fetus we are talking about we should let him grow up and then ask what he wants.

A lot of immature young ladies say, "let the woman decide to kill the baby". But this is utterly ridiculous, as pregnant women are not in a mental state to make rational decisions.

Another invalid argument is that the baby is only a fetus. Would it then be alright to stab a pregnant woman in the stomach? Of course not that would be just as ludicrous.

I've tried lots of medication for it I'm either allergic to them, or I develop an amunity. Right now I'm taking about 3-4 nexium a DAY and here i sit with the pain.
My ears hurt, my back gets tense and soar, Chest pain, and MASSIVE heartburn. Almost every day. (a week of this, then a week of mild comfort off and on)
My doctor says I SHOULD NOT have corrective surgery.. that I should wait. But I've been dealing with this for 7 years now.

I've tried so many "tricks". elevated my bed so I'm slightly sitting up. Avoiding soda's, spicy foods... I had a carrot today, and It gave me intense heartburn.
It hurts SO bad.
If you have had the same thing, can you tell me what works for you? Or If you had the surgery, was it worth it? Should I get a 2nd opinion about the surgery?

My wife and I are both on a diet but are seeing a difference in weight loss. I am 100lbs overweight and my wife is 70lbs overweight. While both of us are eating exactly the same food (Healthy food) we are eating less than 1500 calories and 30g of fat a day. I am also exercising everyday on a running machine while my wife is not. My wife's job involves her sitting at a desk all day while I am not, so on Saturday when we weighed ourselves, my wife lost 4.5lbs and I lost only 2.5lbs, can someone give me a real explanation on why this might of happened, and please no straight answers like it depends on your metabolism or something.

My husband's father & his fathers 2 siblings all had abdominal aortic aneurysms(sp?). My husband's father was 63, his aunt is about 78; his uncle was about 72 when diagnosed. My husband had a stomach ultrasound approximately 4 years ago. There were no signs of an abdominal aortic aneursym. His mother and her side of the family have no abdominal or any kind of aneurysms. What are my husband's chances of getting this?
