I just started my weight loss plan yesterday and so far its been going well. But next saturday i'm going to boston for a lacrosse tournament and i know we are going to be eating out, then on 7/29/07 my family is going 2 orlando for a week. How can i keep loosing weight during those 2 outings?

I am also considering starting weight watchers too, how is the program and how does it work? if i don't do weight watchers, what are some great foods that i can keep in the house?

Also, what are some great excersises for loosing love handles, tummy, and thigh fat?

How will i look after loosing all that weight....extra skin, stretch marks???

I start reading and like after 15 mins my eyes start getting tired and want to close. If I keep reading my eyelids would get coldish. Does this mean I need glasses because I know some people can read a whole book and not be tired. If it helps I usually read out loud...DO I need glasses or what's wrong?

Hi,
I associate the sugar that we take in tea,coffee etc and the sugar level that we talk about in our body. Are they same thing? I mean if I take this raw sugar, does this increase the sugar level in my blood proportionately.? Or for that matter, can I associate sugar with sweetness, and can say that if I take anything sweet, it will increase level of sugar in my blood and give me instantaneous energy..?
Where does glucose fit in this overall picture?

Thanks for answering these basic questions with clarity!

So I'm somewhat concerned about the dentist I just started going to, I went due to an emergency and he was the only person I could get into right away. Yesterday at my check-up he told me "that he doesn't like the looks of my wisdom teeth" and he wants to remove the remaining 3 teeth. I am 29, have had no problems with these teeth and I wasn't show my x-rays to see if they were impacted or not.
This guy is licensed to perform general dentistry only, but he wants to remove them himself, in his office on two seperate occasions. Is this normal practice, from what I hear this is not a procedure I want done using Novocaine.
Thanks!

I'm on my 1st cleanse day [so basically my 3rd day], and I don't notice much. If anything, a little around my waist.

Sadly, I'm already feeling discouraged. I hope to lose at least 20 lbs towards the end of the month.

I guess I'm hoping I'm not doing anything wrong...

Since Arnold became governor, all the workmans comp cases have been re-opened. She was previosly awarded all future medical, and now nobody is policing the re-opened cases. She chose future medical treatment over a money settlement 10 years ago. She can't change lawyers now. No lawyers will take the case because there's no money in it for them and her current lawyer will not even take her calls. In the meantime, her conditions are consistently worsening due to her having to overcompensate for her back injury and lack of medical attention. She now has ankle and knee injurys requiring surgery. She received back surgery for her L5,S1 fusion and her L4 is out. The workmans comp insurance won't cover anything. Multiple doctors agree she needs attention. She has assumed an incredibly large debt and is undergoing the legal runaround. The workmans comp insurance owes her money for pharmaceuticals they were to pay for, her lawyer seems to be on their side. Does anyone have advice?

Hi, I'm 26 weeks (Or 28, the baby is 26 weeks gestation) pregnant. My pee has been tested twice for sugar in the urine, and came back fine, but yesterday I did the 1 hour glucose test, and received a call back telling me my levels were elevated and would need to come and do the 3 hour test at my earliest convienience. They didn't tell me what the numbers were. I've been reading about gestational diabetes and it scares me, especially since 40% (!) of people diagnosed with it go on to develop type 2 diabetes. But, I don't understand why there's no extra sugar in my pee, but this last drink-the-orange-pop-test came back abnomal/elevated. Thanks for the help :)

Okay, well I while ago I asked my mom if I could try tampons because I do sports and things and pads were too uncomfortable for me and I wanted to try something different. Well, she said no because if I did I wouldn't be a virgin. So, I asked what I should do here, and I asked again and my mom told me I would loose my virginity if I did even though I showed her several websites that proved this false. Then I wrote her a report about why I should be able to use tampons and she said that I wasn't allowed to use tampons until I get married. Anyways, I had to quit gymnastics because of this because I could only get regulars from tampon machines and I needed supers and I just couldn't do it in pads. I've used tampons several times, know about TSS, and I know how to insert them and I know not to use them at night or when I'm just lounging around. I can't drive and I can't walk/drive to the grocery store. Any ideas how I can get tampons without her knowing?

in a 42 yr. old adult alcoholic male who smokes marijuana daily? (and has done so since age 11). What sort of diseases or conditions could be responsible for this weird ugly nail fungus? This male has had chronic and life-long stomach problems, and had a pyloric stenosis operation as a baby, wherein he was fed through a tube in his head, and had to have part of the intestinal tract removed. I am not sure what causes this condition in anyone, so I am interested in learning of any possible culprits, or I'd like to hear back from anyone at all who is experiencing, or has ever experienced, this unsightly fungal phenomenon. Or if you are a Dr., or someone knowledgeable about this condition and can possibly tell me what it is and how to get rid of it.....please. Anyone who is serious, please please respond. Anything you have to share is beyond gratefully appreciated, and eagerly awaited.
