Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has some weight loss tips/tricks they want to share. Like not eating a food with a certain ingredient in it, or something like that! Just looking to get an idea, thank you!

My mum suffers with Breast./Skin Cancer and has done for the last 4 years, she recieves Chemo twice a month and has been told that the cancer will not go away.

My mum has always wanted to go to Austria, it sounds cheesy but to see the sound of music landmarks etc, and I have wanted to take her for ages. The only thing is it seems she is unable to get insurance for travelling abroad because of her condition.

I would love to make this dream come true but have run out of ideas, does anybody have any suggestions?

Several months ago my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex. However, I did not ejaculate in her. Later that day she got a little worried that something could have came out by accident.

The next day, I went out to get the Plan B Pill, just to be on the safe side because she was a little worried. So she took the pill as directed, and she got her period within a week. Her period lasted for about 4-6 days.

Now a month later, we've had protected sex. with no breaks and no ejac in her. She is worried that she might be pregnant.

Can Someone help.!??!!?!? please!

that people who take it have an increased risk of cardiac issues? I have been taking a 4 mg dosage, once a day, for almost 4 yrs. My internist wants me to stay on it, saying that the benefits outweight the risks. Several co workers have been taken off this med (different doctors). I am concerned because I have been very overweight in the past (still am, but less so) and have a strong family history of heart disease. Any comments or personal experiences would be appreciated.

I am 155 lbs and 5 ft 4 in. I am lightly active. I do housework, play with my 2 year old, but I do have a desk job. And I use my exercise bike almost every day for at least 15 min. How many calories should I eat per day and how many am I burning? I am 20 years old. I would like to lose about 35 lbs (be 120 lb). I would like to lose between 2-3 lbs per week.
And how much more exercise should I be doing?

If I sweat and don't shower for a couple of days, hard lumps form in places of my body where I sweat the most.

Like when I was in middle school, I had a lump and rash under my breasts. My mom told me that it was a build up of sweat, and when I put baby powder on it, it healed within a couple of days.

Sometimes if I sweat and don't shower for a couple of days, I develop a lump on the inside of my thighs. Sometimes they're painful, other times I hardly feel them. But they go away as long as I put baby powder on them and shower everyday.

I have another lump (and yes, I've been sweating a lot because of not having A/C..and I'm showering for the first time in 2 days).

Should I consult a doctor? Or should I just do what I always do: Put baby powder on it and shower everyday?

Okay I started my period last night and some bad things happened. I came very close to passing out when I told my mom. Then, I counted 28 days from now and it will be when I am leaving to go to the beach :[ some people say it will be regular, some say not.
Also, I go swimming EVERYDAY, so I guess I cant now because I dont want to use a tampon.
also, I didnt put my pad far enough in the front and it stained my bed sheets and my underwear. I feel so embarrassed. Then I though last night there was nothing on my pad so I was like maybe I wont have much blood, well I did. :[ I am scared of blood, and I cant stand to look at it. I took a shower and I just want to feel clean. Here are a couple of my questions:
1. How was your first period? Embarrassing like mine?
2. When should I start using tampons?
3. What should I do about the beach?
4. What are the BEST type of pads for me if I want to feel clean.
Thanks ladies!! ♥

My husbands has 3 20lb CO2 tanks in a small work area. The other day I caught our 13 year old son and his friends messing around with them. I was told if they were turned on fully the air would drain from the tanks in about 2 to 3 minutes. If all three tanks were on would there have been enough gas to have killed these young boys? And how quickly could it have happened if so?

Okay, I'm 19, 5'6" and about 145. I used to weigh 125-130 and i LOVED the way my body looked and felt at that weight. WELL thanks to marriage (which it's great) and moving to a new town where i had to try to meet all new people and got depressed because it's hard and i've lived in the same town my whole life and then just upped and moved i gained about 15-20LBs. My body type is big hips, butt and thighs. So when i gain weight it goes mostly to those places. I'm so upset about the way my body looks i cry because i look at all my pictures from about a year ago and miss it so bad! SAD I KNOW! I bought a pilates work out dvd, which is really hard btw and then i bought some resistance bands. Never have done either... I need some advice on what i should be doing. i don't have the money right now to get a gym membership thats why i bought a few things. I just need some ideas on what to do. like exersices, diet pills?, recomended dvds anything!

I only weight about 99lbs and im1 6.
I have several stretch marks all over my buns, and hips and inner thighs.. The skin around my buns and inner/side hips seems to be darker and the stretch marks are very light maybe i can use a cream to lighten the skin that way the stretch marks can blend?
Well,does having stretch marks around these areas mean the skin will stretch soon so these areas will expand and grow?

My blood was drawn at 4:oopm and I hadn't eaten anything other than sugary, creamy coffee all day (about 4 cups). When I got to the Dr. office I was starving so I raided their candy jar and ate appx. 10-12 pieces of hard candy in the hour before my blood was drawn. My blood sugar was 154. The medical asst. thought that the candy would not have caused such a result. Any thoughts? I am going in for a glucose tolerance test this week to confirm. But could that candy and coffee cause a 154 glucose result?

Hi,
It just struck me that when I keep a stuff in fridge, say cooked food, to avoid it getting bad outside, should I cover the tiffin with it's tight lid? I mean, I hope that covering it with a tight lid does n't hasten the process of food going bad inside fridge, or does the cover have no effect whatsoever..?

Thanks
