I am 25 yrs old, 5 ft 5 in, 228lbs. I have tried looking it up and i have gotten 3 different answers (2300, 2500, and 3050) I think that the last one is definately too high to lose weight but I am not sure about the other two. Any help would be appreciated. Also I work out 2 hrs a week with a personal trainer, I take 2 half hour exercise classes and do 1 hour workout by myself (total of 4 hrs a wk and it is a mixture of cardio and weight training.)

Thank you

Lately, almost daily headaches. I had quadruple vision and felt like I was passing out. This only happened once about a month ago, for about 15-20 seconds. Doctors have never been able to visualize the disc's in the back of my eyes (since I was about 15) and diagnosed me with cluster headaches. My vision is very good (on last check, 2 yrs ago), 20/20 and 20/15. I am 39 years old. I take effexor, and my doc says it wouldn't be related to that. What could it be? Should I see an opthamologist?

When I watch TV or movies..etc, and someone is being strangled, I feel like I am being strangled too. I start feeling pressure on my throat and I have to turn away. It even happens when I see a drawing of someone being strangled. Am I crazy or is there something wrong with my throat? help!

The sting in my eyes
the cut on my arm
what you don't know
will do you no harm

The blade in my room
black clothes in my closet
The blood on my desk
is just a deposit

Can I live though this pain?
But how could it end?
Will I ever see you
will my heart mend?

I don't think it will
My spirit is broken
I've lost it already
It's full of your toxin

the past year or so, they have been coming about 3 to 7 days early. NEVER late. I am 3 days late this month and am wondering if it is at all possible that I have entered menopause officially (versus the perimenapausal symptoms that I've been experiencing) and have stopped having them altogether?

I realize that nobody knows for sure if that is the case with me, but more specifically, i guess my question is when a woman stops having her period, is it abrubt or does it slowly taper off? Thanks!

On october 17th, 18th, and 19th i drank very heavily. Just a party weekend i guess, and since then i can't focus @ all. Saturday the 20th i was at a college football game and i couldnt care any less where i was, i just wanted to fall over and sleep. Its been 4 days since then and i still can't focus all the way, i can't focus on school work, i feel dizzy sometimes, i forget short term things easily and i stumble around the house looking for random things. My friends are all very concerned and so am i? i doubt i suffered permanent brain damage... but im just very scared that i may have damaged something else. I have been drinking tons of fluids, and eating a ton. Please help me out, i am not sure if i have made any improvement over the past 4 days?

also, the 3 days i drank keep in mind it was mostly hard alcohol and i am 5'11" and weigh 135 pounds.

thank you all

To make a long story short, I've suffered from depression and mental illness problems since i was about 14. IT affects every aspect of my life, including, work, frineds, personal relationships. I Finally went for help a year ago because i could no longer handle the situation on my own and was feeling, once again, that i wanted to die.
I have attempted suicide two times in my life, both times i was saved by my fiance, he found me unconscious and took me to the hospital.
I have been diagnosed with:
severe depression,
panic disorder,
GAD,
Agoraphobia,
and
Bi-polar.
( i dont know how all this is wrong with me, but thats what the psychiatrist says).

My family history is that on my fathers side there is a strong presense of mental illnesss, more specifically bi-polar. MY grandfather, father, and old brother were all diagnosed with being bi-polar, and my father and grandfather both committ suicide due to not getting help. My older brother is currently on Lithium.

I recently bought a "Whey Cooler" Sports drink mix, where you get 20 grams of protein per drink.. it's like a powerade kinda thing.

However the directions says add one scoop of the powder into the glass, THEN add water. It says.. not to use in a blender and do not shake in a shaker cup.

However, just mixing it with a spoon is leaving chunks of the powder floating around. Is there any tricks people have to mixing this stuff?

Any help would be great.. thanks!

hi everyone! I am an italian student, and I have to write 2 paragraphs on the relation between the church and AIDS sufferers...can u help me find ideas plz???
this is what I have written so long...
I think that everyone, especially the church should help sick and suffering people.
The Christians say that caring about other people is very important, I say that is one of their duties.
If church is against sex before the marriage I think that they should at least help promoting the use of condom because that would help to stop the spreading of HIV virus.
The fact is that church people shouldn't care about what disease a certain person has but the only thing to do should be to help them in difficult moments also if they know that they're going to die.
Especially in Africa, in the small hospitals among the poor people there should be nuns and priests to help people that have lost everything and the only thing they've got is God.

thanx 4 the help!!!! 10 points to the best!!!!

Please excuss me and no offence is meant at all, but I was wondering if someone could explain houseing in America to me? For instance, if someone can't work or is on an income that means they can't aford to buy their own home is their any goverment rental housing available? Also, say if somone was in an abusive house living with family and had mental health problems would there be any agencies that would help find that person and maybe their partner a home that they could afford? Thanks for any help and excuss if I have not worded it correctly but I hope you can understand what I'm badly trying to ask!

Here's a dilemma - you are obliged to tell your insurer of any changes to your circumstances, even if not in the policy (concept of utmost good faith) and not to do so could invalidate it - but how good is your faith in the system and the understanding of mental health conditions? Don't you just fear your premiums will go through the roof and that your condition won't be understood? Have you disclosed your condition?
