I just found out that I have really high cholesterol. I'm turn 40 today and I need some help on how to get my cholesterol down and under control.
Is there any herbs that I can take that will help me lower my cholesterol?

I am currently working for about a month and a week now. However, I am not sure what kind of supplements I should go with since I have a little belly and not sure if it is bloat or fat and hence if I should be focus on mass gain or fat loss supplements...

Read it...... why does it say that it take women 0-18 and then 18 and up. Why would someone who is 11 or under go to an ob/gyn?

It does, I started my diet before Alli, For 3 weeks I ate Weight Watcher/Lean Cuisine Frzn meals, I ate cottage cheese w/fruit and yogurt, I went from 230 # down to 210, Then I started Alli Three weeks ago, My weight is now 195# to 197#, depends on what I eat. I've had No Diarrhea, No Loose stools, No N/V. My co-workers are shocked when they see me, I've gone from 38" waist down to 33" waist pants, I follow the diet, I don't take Alli unless I have 8% + of fat in my diet. I'm very pleased with my results, If you're getting Diarrhea, you're not following the diet, it says to start your lo-fat diet before you start taking Alli.
If I had a choice to do it over again, I would've started the day it was released.
Thanks, Rich

i am a 18 year old male who is 5-10 and 175lbs... i want to get down to 165 to look a little more toned, got to get rid of the beer belly

well i started my workout last week and i am riding my bike 12-15 mile a day and eating better meals. i have broken my meal in to 5-6, 300-350 calorie meals a day about 3 hours apart. The meals are low sugar, high protein, like fish, chicken, and beef. nothing fried and i no longer drink sugar drinks. i drink 100 ounces of water a day, i just wanted to know if this was a good way to lose ten pounds in one month?

and also i have been stealing my moms weight watchers for some of my meals, are those okay, most have around 300 calories and 20-25 grams of protien and like 2-6 grams of sugar, will those be okay to diet with or do i need to stop eating those? please if anyone can think of anything else to help me reach my goal give me some advise

thanks to everyone who answers

I'm not sure if this is wrong or not. I am 26 and I am starting to feel my biological clock tick. I already have one child and I'm afraid of waiting too long to have another one and dealing with getting my body back into shape. After I had my son, my body didn't bounce back and I slipped into a deep depression. Now I am finally back at a weight I can live with and I feel like it's an ideal time to have another child. My husband and I have talked about this and even picked out boy/girl names but he doesn't want to have another child until our financial situation gets a little better. I know he wouldn't be angry if I was to get pregnant again but I do know it would cause a lot of stress in my home. I would love to give my kids the opportunity to be close in age and go to school with each other but I'm not sure what to do. Would it be wrong and/or selfish to poke a hole in the condom? I'm not COMPLETELY certain that I want kids right now but I'm curious as to what you would do.

I don't know what it is. Some people are telling me it could be breast cancer, others say a razor bump, or an ingrown hair.
I'm worried!!
