I think I'm in the obese category. My Goal is to reduce 30-40 lbs in 3-4 months. Is this a realistic goal? I'm trying to exercise and reduce my weight. I am a member at the local YMCA. What are the best exercises to do in the GYM and how much calories I should burn daily? How should I change my diet?

For the last month I've had abdominal and stomach discomfort and some abdominal cramps (usually followed by trip to the bathroom). I've also hag light dizzy spells and weakness. Just last week I had a blood test - everything fine - and consulted with a MD, who found nothing. This morning while on the toilet I almost passed out, dizzy and weak. My stool by the way was on the soft side, but not diarrhea. Afterwards I had a sharp headache for a minute or two - now I'm okay. Tomorrow I'm going to a gastroenterologist, but I want your feedback too. What's up do you think is going on?

He's had a cough for 3-4 months now. It's pretty bad, but he refuses to go to the doctors. I've tried everything I can think of to get him there. But he just told me he's fine and refused to go. Is it worth me persisting, or should I let him do what he wants.

I have stopped buying cigarettes 5 days ago but am still suffering a bit. I want to use Allen Carr's book but it says that it is essential that i smoke until I finish the book? Should I just buy another pack and read it? Or is it still effective to just go ahead and read it without? Thanks for your help!
