Health - 20 July 2007

I want to take something that'll knock me straight out quickly.

For the last few months I have been eating extremely healthy (staying in the 1000-1300 calorie range) No soda, no fast food, no junk food, I drink 8 glasses of water a day, etc.
I have been going for a 30 minute walk every day, a long with riding on my stationary bike and doing strength training.
I have only lost 2 pounds, and only 1 in off my waist, which is my main problem area.
Now I know weight loss takes time, but I've been doing this for over 6 months, and seen almost no results. I have tried increasing my exercise to a 1 hour walk every day, and 30 minutes on the exercise bike but nothing happened.
I have no idea what to do.
I have a 32in waist, and my stomach is very flabby.
Any idea on what I can do? I have tried almost everything and feel like I'm just about to give up. Maybe the only way out is to just stop eating altogether.

Any advice?

my resting heart rate is around 140 beats per min. i dont think its normal at all and i wonder if its a sign of bigger problems i might have, i think it also may have some connection with why i sweat alot even when im not engaging in any physical activity

My friend and I play "heart fart" often (when you jam your thumb knuckles really hard repeatedly into the middle of someone else's chest until you hear a loud farting sound coming from the heart). Afterwards I always feel a little bit of discomfort for a couple of minutes, but then I feel fine. Is it possible that we're causing any long term damage, or is this safe?

I have taken the pill before and would always skip the last week of placebo and go right into the next pack and it would always skip my period. I just started taking them again and when I skipped the placebo I got my period a week later...its been two weeks now and Im still bleeding heavy. I haven't missed any pills..why do I have my period?

I have heard horror stories about this drug causing people to have horrible accidents and side effects, but I have been on it about a week, and absolutely nothing like that at all. Nothing has changed in that area at all. I have heard people say there is a lot of oil in the toilet when they use the bathroom, but I don't have that at all. I know people might say I'm lucky for not having any ill side effects, but I worry if it's even working. I keep my meals around 15 grams of fat each, but I'm seriously thinking of eating a fatty meal, just to see if it has any effects on me, atleast I would know it was working!!! Please, I would love to hear some advice and experiences from people who have taken alli. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT IF YOU ARE ADVERTISING SOMETHING!!!

I am a current patient in one dental office where I had two dentists assigned to me in a three year span. The first one (a woman) did my teeth for two years and told me that she was "leaving the practice." She replaced by another (a man), who only lasted one year when he too said he was "leaving the practice." Next thing I knew, he flew off to another state. I never bothered to ask both of them what they meant by that.

Are they going back to school to get a advanced degree or training to be a dental surgeon? This is just a general guess on my part.

I am currently on my third dentist in the same office, but he's not leaving any time soon... he's the dentist with the most seniority and have been there long before the two dentists that worked on me.

Preferably someone who works in a dental office could answer this question.

I have four wonderful children however after each one my breasts shrank a size each time I am now a 34A!!! I really miss my old body I was good and felt good about it but now its like what the hell and I am constantly questioning if I am okay with myself, I know it sound stupid but I really think if I had my old figure (I know you never have the same body after kids and I'm okay with most of that) I would be much happier I mean it is to the point wher eI find myself making excuses to my husband for him not to see me naked because I am not okay with how I look anymore. I wan to have around a very full B or a nice C. So I'm looking for a doc in the Chicago area. I wish I was okay with how I look but I'm not also I know the dangers but really if it would make me feel okay in my skin again I thinkit is worth it

I do see a scar ring around my penis, and I have no foreskin covering the head of my penis.

I was born in 1987.

Was circumcision very common in the United States in the 1980's?

I'm fourteen (yeah I know everyone is going to say that it is too young to be worrying about weight, but I was just wondering). I'm 5'4" and 110lbs. Everyone in my family and friends are really really skinny so it feels really awkward when we borrow eachothers clothes. What do you think?
