Is it effective?
Which "flavors" are the most effective?

I'd like to hear your opinions! ;)

I would like to lose 3 pounds of fat a week, and add 1-2 pounds of muscle a week concurrently.

I weigh 250 right now and I need around 3900 calories to maintain my weight.
Would a great diet be to eat 2500 calories a day and 250 grams of protein?

I medicate myself with alcohol to deal with life and people. I have extreme anxiety and social phobias. lately I've thought of dying again. I have no friends and have no interest in friends because I don't trust people anymore. I basically stay at home when not working...The last romanic relationship I had was over 4 years ago. I AM SICK OF FEELING THIS WAY but have no clue what to do. I went to shrink many years ago and all they want to do is fill me with drugs.....Tonight, someone asked why I don't have any fun in my life. I couldn't just tell them my mental state......so, what now?

If you or someone you know have or are suffering from Post dep, what helps you make it through the day? I'm on depression meds but i still keep breaking down at the smallest things. I'll be fine one moment, then one small thing can set me off to become angry. What are some things that helped you?

My mother in law is 58 y/o and has major drug bills that cost her a bunch of $'s every month. She had had a major coronary and almost died. As a result, she can not get any insurance-everything is out of pocket for her. She has told me that she has tried, but that they always ask for her income and her husbands . Can anyone help? Maybe a pharmasist would know what hoops she would need to jump ? Thanks

I workout pretty hard, about 6 times a week. I love it and am alwasy thinking of ways to improve my workouts, get better results and of course enjoy it at the same time. They say recovery is important for workouts and I get the gist of the science that supports it. However, I workout pulling muscules (Back, Bicepts), pushing muscles (Chest, Shoulders, Tricepts) and Legs all on separate days in that order. I workout really hard, but I isolate different muscles on different days, so I feel like I don't have to take any days off. (It's not because I'm not using enough resistence). Is this bad for my body? Please advise.

Okay so my crush and I have been making out. (not long, though.)

I have a little cut-- It's closing though. I got it from my braces. Do you think that he or I would get herpes? (the cut was a little open when we made out, but it's closing now like i said.)

My mom is dying of Cervical Cancer. The cancer has spread to her major organs and she has a few days to live. I am devastated because she is only 54 and my mom and I were very close. My mom was in so much pain yesterday that the doctor gave her a higher dose of Morphine. It was terrible to see her screaming in such pain. I went to see her today, and she was sleeping the entire time, and I was relieved that she was not screaming in pain anymore. I talked to her, and told her how much she means to me, and I was wondering if she could hear me? Can anyone answer this? I am not sure if she could or not.

I'm 15 and don't really need to, I just basically want to be healthier. If I started to go for a run in the mornings, do situps, pushups, crunches, ect. and eat healthier would I eventually begin to lose weight? It's mostly my stomach that needs to lose the fat. I do play softball, but that won't be til srping. And I don't like going to the gym...so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Oh, diet pills and that are simply out of the question, so please don't suggest those.

I'm always depressed & sad all the time. When I do get something good that makes me happy, people say, "Who cares?" or "& you're happy over THAT?" but then they get driven away when I'm not happy. It's like I don't have a right to have feelings, but if I were to feel numb, I'd be labeled as schizophrenic. People say I complain too much, but when I mention something that made me excited, people call me childish or immature or saying that me expressing my excitement is inappropriate behavior.
