I have COPD and I have to stop smoking. I do not want to, but I have to. I feel that my breathing is getting worse. I use Advair and it helps tremendously. Does Chantix work? My doctor said to take it for only seven days. Do people take it for longer than one week? Someone said it makes you itch. Is this possible? Wellbutrin did absolutely nothing for me. I smoke three packs a day. I admit it - I definitely need help. I once thought they made a cigarette with no nicotine in it, but I have never seen it. I hope one of you can give me some good advice here and please let me know if Chantix really works. I understand that my insurance does not pay for it and it costs $120 for one bottle. Thank you.

I see so much pain and suffering on here from people with mental illnesses, including depression. Usually when answering I try to direct people to Yahoo Search under "The Last Temptation of George Petrie". This is my personal story about untreated depression that almost destroyed my life. I refused to take medication and spiraled out of control. Finally, after being hospitalized I started taking antidepressants. I was able to get stronger and stronger and probably better than I have ever been in my life. I was able to fight my case all the way to the Supreme Court of Florida and won. It was a long battle but I was strong enough to see it through. Today I am successul and my depression is under control. I still take medication and probably always will. If you are depressed and considering ending your life...why not give yourself one last chance and fight to find the medication that will help you survive?

If a female is 5 foot 0, with a weight of about 110 pounds, and they consume about 1,000 calories per day, will they lose weight? and if so, how much? (without exercise)

I'm not looking for a lecture on how unhealthy that is, just a straight up answer.

I'm just trying to lose weight in the quickest way possible. I was going to try the Maple Syrup Diet but it's way too expensive. Don't bother telling me about the health hazards, etc. I know. Just, how much weight would I be losing, and if I kept it on for longer how many lbs would I lose?

Well, last time i checked ( about 6 months ago), i was 14 stone, I'm guessing now i'm about 14.5ish. maybe more.
I'm 15 years old + 5.7ish ( male )
not in a boastful way, but i do think some of it is muscle as a few years ago i spent most of my day doing swimming etc, for about 4 years straight, i also did light weightlifting for a while, after a day of trying a pullup every hour or two, i can usually do one, a lousy one.

How could i, build more muscle + lose fat? as all i did was lay on my *** in front of the pc and now i'm fat + stretch mark galore.

Oh, i don't have anything to help me anymore, So preferably workouts using my own bodyweight or things around the house, ( Urls accepted with lot's of hugs ),
Best answer goes to the most detailed explanation + most helpful there. I'll be back soon incase i need to add more details

thanks for your time,

I had a biopsy done yesterday on this lump I have on the side of my nose and am waiting for the results. The doctor said if it's positive, I will have to have the area surgicially removed. It is a painful process? Will I get black eyes? Do they put you to sleep or do they give you a local (novocain)? Thanks for your answers.

I'm trying to lose weight by developing an overall healthier lifestyle. I've done many things to change my eating habits - my diet consists of mostly fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats and water for drinking...and I have started working on increasing my activity levels.

I know that once I start losing weight, it'll come from my whole body.. i have about 60lbs to lose!

My stomach is the biggest problem. It has more fat than any other area of my body I've heard that you cant 'spot' diet (lose weight in a specific spot) .... but when I lose weight - will my stomach eventually even out with the rest of my body? Or will it always stay a bit bigger???

Hey, I am 14 and I got my first period in April.
I am on day 8 or 9 (the first day started at night, so does that count as a day?) of my period and for the past 2 days of it, I only bleed right when I wake up when I am going to the bathroom and when I wipe. This ends at about 11:00AM. SO I was wondering, should I wear a tampon when I go swimming?

About 3 years ago I started to gain weight in college. I am out of college now and work out 3-5 days a week and am seeing results slowly. Major problem for me is going down a size due to my mid tummy. Its odd but the skin under my boobs are not flabby at all and you can see some muscle than the lower you get theres some sort of pouch only in the very middle not on the sides and than I am very thin right under it. It creates a big dip in my middle and it makes it hard for me to fit in jeans. What can I do to get rid of this so my middle seems less bumpy?

Any additional helpful information on this particular test will be most helpful. Many thanks!
