Health - 21 June 2007

I'm shooting for a december wedding so my deadline for this loss will be the begining of december.
Will walking daily and crunches be enough?
Please suggest any exercises that you think would be beneficial.
I eat a pretty balanced diet of about 1800 calories a day broken up into 3 or 4 small meals.
water, flavored water, sugar free red bull and tea are the only things I drink.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I work in an office with like 30 other people and almost everyone single one of them smokes. I think it's gross and unhealthy and with all that we know about cancer I just want to know why people start smoking in the first place. I understand that some older people are addicted and started before we knew all that we know now but what about young people?

I've been on birth control for almost 5 yrs now. It was kind of on and off....I was on the shot for awhile, then I tried the patch, and then I was on the pill for 1 1/2 yrs. I stopped the pill about a month ago. Are people able to get pregnant right after stopping or does it usually take awhile?

why do many people here on answers and outside think that humans with big penises are animals(dont want to bring race into it but especially when someone is black) because it has been proven all humans(unless somebody has a micropenis) have a bigger penis than primates (apes, guerrillas, monkeys etc) even bigger than also donkeys or whales when you consider body to penis size proportion according to research.

My girlfriend's doctor has recommended that she refrain from having sex during her two week recovery time following her eye surgery. Why?

We are lesbians. Does this make a difference?

Ive been told a couple different things .. One person said all you need is a urine, blood, and cotton swab taken from your mouth. Ive also heard that they stick a q tip up your penis ..... THATS A NONO.... either way I have been looking around for free clinics and I cant find anything. what are prices, procedure and other things I should be aware of? any links to free clinics in the Ny area would be helpful. Thanks.

I saw this on some internet site (jumplikevinceDOTcom). It said that because when you lift weights you put on muscle weights and its slows you down. But i thought it gives you more power.

I am 15 years old, 5'1", a size 1 and a 34D. It's just not working...being so tiny around the waist but so top-heavy. I mean, they're big...but they're not enormous. I just fear that they'll keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I look like a C right now, even though I've been measured and am definitely a D. Can I avoid the growing process? :/

Then shouldn't they prescribe it to patients? It would clear the beds quicker.
Hehe, saw the advert and made me think (first time for everything I guess).

I am 11 and haven't started my period yet but I am getting cramps. I wen't to the doctor today and she asked a lot of questions, looked at my vagina then told me that I may get my period soon. But when I told the nurse I have been having it for 7 months she said that was way too long. I just want to make sure there is not something rong with me. The doctor got some of my vaginal discharge on a q-tip, put in a tube and sent it to the lab. My mom workes at the ER at the hospital so when it's done they will call her with the results and then she will call me.

I am spending five points to make this statement, and I will never again address sunburn!! Due to increases in greenhouse gasses, the radiation we recieve from the sun is magnified, much like a magnifying glass will condense the sun's rays to the point of starting a fire. People who never in the past burned are burning now. USE SUNSCREEN, limit the time you spend in the sun. Deaths from skin cancers called Melanoma are at an all time high and are climbing. The damage you do to your skin in your youth, will result in cancer when you are an adult. Protect your children, protect yourselves or pay the bloody fatal consequences!!!!!

i'm 16 and have thin hair. i have always for years being tieing my hair up in a tight ponytail. a few days ago i noticed i was developeing a bald patch. do u think that has got to do with tieing my hair in the tight ponytail?

also yesterday i washed my hair, my mam cut the ends cos they were uneven. when i dryed it, it felt lovely and full. i then was out in the wind a few times for a few seconds. when i came home my hair felt and looks alot thiner dan normal.

do u think it has something to do with the bald patch or has the wind just taken the volume out?

will the lost hair grow back. i always use this shampoo for volume that made my hair a small bit thicker. will that kind of shampoo help??
