Whenever I go to the drug store and use the machines I always have lower than normal blood pressure
Today the first number was 107
the second was 69
and the beats per minute was 80

Just curious. I am a 27 year old female.

I've decided it's time for a change. I am nowhere near overweight but I always feel terrible. Why? Because I drink soft drinks all day and eat fast food 5 times a week.

The result is a nasty gut and love handles. However, I have skinny legs and tone arms. Since i'm in college i've started drinking more than I usually do and over this past year i've started to develop a double chin.

For the past week i've been drinking nothing but water and i've started on a low calorie diet. I bought an elliptical that should be arriving at my door in a few days. My goal is to get rid of this ugly fat and tone up my body to what it used to be in High School.

My question is, do you think it's possible in 2 months that I could lose about 15 lbs and most signs of a gut and double chin? I will be doing 45 mins - 1 hour of cardio on the elliptical and through other activities every day. After about 2 weeks im going to start lifting weights again. So is it even possible?

I'm so darn fat! I hate my body. My thighs jiggle a bit when I walk. And when I sit down a little bit of my belly fat goes over my pants a bit.

Age:17 1/2
Pants size:3-6(depending on stores)
Height:5ft 4.5inches
Weight:128lbs

And I eat healthy. Like Healthy choice and weight watchers snacks if I get a snack and everything. I excersize at least an hour a day. I don't want school to start and have everyone see i'm a sticken fat person! HELP!

Well the question says it all. I havent been able to eat for it will be 4 days tonight and its horrible. Like i DO get hungry but when i try to eat its like when the food hits my tongue its just discusting. I know, "go to the doctor". Well i dont want to. Not unless this gets really horrible.
So what are some easy things to eat that i can maybe suck on?

Hi, im 15 and i recently lost about 2 stone (28 lbs) through doing an exercise video and walking along with the usual healthy diet. However i sort of 'fell off the wagon' as it were, and can't seem to get back into my healthy routine. Its been made harder by the fact that i've come down with a really bad cold that just won't seem to go away and so i've regularly got a bad headache, which really makes pounding away to a fitness dvd out of the question. Im also Vegetarian so im not sure if im probably lacking in loads of things which could make it easier to lose weight or get rid of my awful cold! I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could lose another 10lbs or so in the next 4 - 5 weeks without any more exercise than a good, fairly high paced, 2 hours walk 5 times a week? many thanks xx

What do you consume more of, ie: carbs, sweets, salty snacks, meat, fats, fruits, veggies, etc....or are you well rounded...in a good way that is...or in a not so good way if that's the case? LOL

My boyfriend's grandpa died of Alzheimer's (his mom's dad) a few years ago. I get mad at him sometimes because when we have a "conversation," it's usually one-sided. It's not just with me, though...it's with everyone I know. He said he just has a hard time putting his thoughts into words quickly. He can never find the right words to say. I looked up to see if anyone else was like this, and I found that this is actually a sign of Alzheimer's. I know that it's very unlikely that he has it now...but maybe it's a sign that he will have it in the future. I know that AD can be hereditary...what are his chances of getting it if it was not his parent that had it, but his grandparent. As of right now, I'm not aware of anyone else who has had it in his family, but it is possible. Anyway, I'm just curious...I know it's early to worry, but if it's possible to do something about it now, I'd like to. I love him so much and want to do anything I can to keep him healthy. Thanks!

Every day I do 40-45 pushups in the morning and at night, as well as 40 crunches with each set of pushups. The problem is every morning I wake up with a huge knot in my back. Usually the pain is bearable and I continue on with my day as normal but it has been getting more severe. Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it? I can't stop working out because I want to join the military, and I can't see a doctor until September.
