I did try the sample of Alli Weight Loss. I got it on e-bay and it was 4 days worth. I tried it when I had a long weekend off from work. It made me go to the bathroom a lot and I think I lost a pound in the 4 days. I'm scared though to try it when I have to leave the house everyday. When I get two weeks vacation in December I am going to buy the bigger bottle and use it for two weeks. Has anyone had any results on it?

My family doctor said my blood sugar was close to the diabetic level and was alarmed about it. I probably should have told her I heard the same thing about 20 years ago but I forgot. A different doctor looked at my blood sugar and said it was on the high end of normal, but it was ok. What should I do? Should I get a third opinion?

I have a friend who's 17, and never gets any sleep because she's always playing Maplestory late at night. Even on school days at like, 2 AM in the morning. She's been dozing in and out of sleep all the time in English class last year. Concerned, I tried to think of a way to get her to stop playing that RPG so much, and get to sleep on time. So I told her that lack of sleep will give her gray hairs. But then she told me they didn't. Huh? I thought they did.

And if they don't, then what exactly does cause gray hairs? I hope I don't get them early Dx

I went to the gym this afternoon and one thing I noticed that there were no fat people. Not one. Everyone was either in relatively good shape or in great shape. Especially the men. The same people who complain about being so big aren't there at all. Is there a reason? The very people who need to lose weight (and want to) are the same people that aren't there. what's up with that?

I hate the world, its terrible, i was raped at a very young age by my brother, whom i still live with and who currently physically abuses me, and same with my other brother and my dad. they all hit me, im always mad and i get angry really quickly. im stuck in the house, i don't have a car even though im 17, and i can't have a boyfriend, cause i don't really like men or women, im somewhat asexual, but i just can't stand life. I hate it. I thought about suicide, but then id feel like a coward. Im completely miserable my grades suck, i don't want to be around my friends, but the strange thing is, i feel like my life has been miserable for a very long time, 14 was the time i started being miserable. I was unhappy before but not in a hopelessness sense. I can't go to a psychiatrist cause my parents wont let me. What do i do?

Haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm afraid to take over the counter sleeping pills because I don't want to develop an addiction? I know this won't go on forever, but right now I need to function in my daily life w/out feeling exhausted. Any suggestions?

I've been told what I experience is an anxiety attack but I'm not so sure because I don't experience worry/stress or any emotion with it. My heart will suddenly speed up like I've just sprinted a mile, and I'm really out of breath and dizzy. Sometimes it will go as quickly as it comes, other times it will last 15 minutes or so. There is no pattern to it, sometimes I'll go months without it or other times I'll have 4 or 5 in a week...

FYI-I'm in shape and exercise every day....sometimes I think my working out hard causes it, though it doesn't always happen after I work out?!

Hey, Ever since I've started college two weeks ago (I'm a freshmen) I've had irregular bowl movments and lots of bloating at the end of the day and constipation, but two weeks ago I was fine, why do you suppose this is? My thoughts that change in my diet and not used to the food, or maybe stress related? I dunno, what should I do?

Ok...I am still very upset over a breakup, and its been over a year. He broke up with me to be with someone else. SOmeone who had his child before we met. She was a one night stand and he was ashamed, but I helped him thru so much. He was depressed and suicidal. He actually threatened suicide to me. Then when he finally came to terms with all that was bothering him, he acted like he never knew me. Til this day, I still get really upset, because he has moved on without a moment of remorse. I fell humiliated, used ,and the suicide aspect of it I think is what gets to me the most. I have told him off and then felt bad about it. I wish I never met him....I really do. I was happy and had self confidence and thought love was real before him. Now I feel he has effected me so much, I just cant seem to get passed any of it. I hate him for what he did to me and I wanted so badly to confront him in person, but he pretty much told me to never call him again. We were together for almost 2 yrs

I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer a few months ago. From what I was told, she started out on chemo and it stopped working so they put her on radiation. She told me a couple of weeks ago that it spread to her lymph nodes behind the ear and her chin and they were putting her on chemo. Things don't seem to be adding up when I do my research and she doesn't want to seem to talk about it. Are there any professionals out there or someone who has been thru this who can shed some light? I thought stage III meant that it had ALREADY spread to the lymph nodes and at this stage, surgery should be done along with chemo treatments afterwards. Please advise and thank you.

Very concerned friend

I get so bloated that my weight can go up in 4 pounds in one day, my belly is so large it looks like I am 6-7 months pregnant. I only get like 2-3 bowel movements a week and I get sick with nausea when ever I eat anything besides fruit and a little vegetables.

What is wrong with me?

Thank you all in advice for your help.

Ok, I'm twelve years old, and lost my last canine tooth around the same time as I became a vegetarian, which was about seven months ago. It still has barely grown in at all. It makes me angry. My dad says that it's because I'm a vegetarian. Does anyone know if this is true?

I am currently 5'5 and 110 lbs and am 19 years of age. I know as of now that I do not trully need to lose any weight. However, I want to for reasons I can not understand. I do somewhat consider myself chubby (I dislike the size of my breast size which is a 34-C and my stomach which I think can be firmer.) Also, a lost lb raises my self-esteem for some odd reason.

Starting Thursday, I began to limit my calorie intake to around 900 calories a day. I ate this way for three days. Today, nonetheless, I was taken out to dinner with friends and had a total of 1700-1800 calories.

My question to you is, if I eat only 600 calories tomorrow will this day balance out? Will I still lose weight after my three days of low-calorie intake? Thank you.

I have recently lost over 100 pounds on my own and have successively kept it off for over 2 1/2 years. I have been working on firming up my troublesome areas - inside, upper legs-by walking on a steep incline on a treadmill, 3 to 4 miles a day. Although I currently weight about 3 pounds over my target weight, when I tried on my jeans from last year, they all seem very tight in my upper thighs. Are there different exercises I should possibly try doing or has anyone experienced this? I really do not want to buy more clothes and I do not want to run around looking like an 18 year old - no offense - when I am a 30 something mother of 2. Any suggestions would be most helpful!!
