So, I am not overweight by any means. But I would like to stop smoking and start working out! I have had memberships at gyms before and never go. I have always just wanted someone to work out with. So I was thinking curves might be a good idea.. quick and easy and there are no guys looking at your ***. :) So is this strictly a place for weight loss or do they promote working out and being healthy?

Okay. I don't want to be mean or anything but i've been curious about this for a while now. How do some people have like a fat belly and upper body but then their legs are thin. Think dancers legs. Is it the 'apple' body shape or what?

I've had 5 c-sections in the last 8 years, and have been bleeding very heavily and passing clots for the last year. The Dr. wants to remove my uterus along with lots of scar tissue and also the cervex while he's in there since it is not really needed and will remove the chance of cervical cancer, leaving the ovaries. It has to be done abdomonally, just like my c-sections were due to complications with scar tissue. Vaginal and laproscopic proceedures are not an option for me. I am totally comfortable with this Doc and what he wants to do, But am looking for opinions from women who have had the proceedure done and their thoughts and feelings, both physical and emotional.

So lets hear it ladies...give me all the dirt so I can know what to expect.

It's not a constant pain, more of a dull pain and only bothers me when I'm sitting or if I move a certain way. It feels like my ribs are pushing on something that pops back into place. I've had this problem in the past but it usually doesn't last more than a few days.

I'm trying to lose some weight and get fit. But I still like to drink on the weekends with friends. All I have been drinking is light beer and I know that if I continue to keep drinking my beer, my beer belly will just get bigger. I work out during the week but on the weekends its a big beer fest. Would it be benificial to start driking hard liquor than beer? I am a fan of Vodka Cranberries and was wondering if that would be a good alternate to drinking beer.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated!!!

I'm in the middle of writing a vampire book (not the usual kind), but need a little medical information. I'm stuck right now, and really need the answers! First; on what side of the neck is the carotid artery. Second; would a person bleed to death from a severe cut to it. Third; would the jugular vein be better? And if so, where is it located. Also, if you can provide links with good drawings of the carotid artery, and jugular vein, it would be appreciated. This is a serious inquiry for a book that I really am writing, and I would appreciate serious replies. And soon as I am stuck on just where the girl in my story should get bit. Please help! Thanks in advance. :)

So, I'm usually not insecure, but lately I have been getting a lot of mixed messages. Last year I was obsessed if I was overweight, or even a little bit chubby. This year things are starting to change, but recently a boy I like called me fat. When I told my other friends about this they shrugged uncomfortably but didn't disagree.

I'm 5"5-6 and I weight 120lb. I'm not at all muscly and I have more of a curvy build, and not necessarily a "heavy upstairs". I'm lacking all of the attributes that could account for if I was overweight, and whenever I ask my mother she responds with "You're thin, not skinny! Everybody has a little flab of stomach, it's natural. Just eat healthy, and excersise, etc." but she's said it so much I'm starting to think she's hiding something. I have a normal BMI, and but when I look in the mirror I become so upset I scratch my arms until they almost bleed.

Am I overweight, chubby, or even pudgy?
(I'm 14)

I want to lose weight! I know people will say eat a balnced diet and exercise but I do and obviously don't work for me. I've been at the same weight for ages now and have not really put on weight, only got heavier as i have grown. So I was wondering if there are any diets out there that have helped you to lose weight. I don't care how stupid they sound or how unhealthy people say they are, just want lots of suggestions. Say anything. I'll take a chance :) x
