So I'm wondering, how long have you been working out?
Do you do exclusively cardio or weight training, or something else, or a combo?
For how long every day?
If you lift, high reps or high weight?
Ever gone any significant time since starting without working out?
Wear and tear on your body - how do you feel generally, especially your joints and back?
Do you ever feel like you're wearing your body out by working out and you'd last longer if you didn't do it at all, or not much?

Do you have to have a special body type to be 'stick skinny'?

My little brother is bleeding when he has a bowel movement, he can't keep food down, and when you press down on a certain spot on his stomach, he says it hurts badly. Could he have a stomach ulcer? He is going to the doctor tomorrow, but I want to make sure he doesn't need to go to the ER tonight. Thanks in advance.

My friend had suffered from bulimia in high school (or so she has claimed), but has since 'recovered' in college. Now, she eats so much! Seriously, a couple of times she's eaten 15 pot stickers and a BIG (we're talking soup bowl) helping of friend rice. When one of our other room mates commented on it, she went flying off the handle about how she doesn't want to share her food. She bakes cakes and eats half of them in a sitting, and eats out almost every other day. If she was a stick (like room mate #1) or ran 30 miles a week (like me--I'm training for a triathlon, so she's not alone--I eat a ton too), I suppose it wouldn't bother us. But she eats a lot, and then she has the nerve to lecture US about eating healthy! She made a comment to me about how I spend too much on food per term (about $380 for 10 weeks: she 'claimed' she spent $130 for the same time!), and to our other friend that she's only eating 1200 calories a day! She's gained a ton of weight, she's in denial what can we do?

Someone told me that their eyesight was something like -7.50, -7.75. How bad would that be considered? Is that roughly 20/50, 20/70...better or worse...?

I am only 23 and i am having severe back problems. My doctor says i have a curve in my spine with muscle spasms on both sides of my spine and it was caused by my large breast. It is really hard living my everyday life taking care of my 2 kids with this pain. In order for my insurance to pay for it I have to go through a year of treatment before the surgury and my year is almost over, the closer it gets the more scared I get! Right now I am a 42 F and am going to a full B or a small C. How bad is the pain and how long will I need someone to take care of my kids I dont want them to see me in that much pain. The tube they put in you throat is it already out when you wake up?

Yet I am also the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. Why does society try to make me feel like I should be miserable, when all I am is happy?

I've talked to over 100 brokers and cannot find ANY health insurance. I live in Arkansas. I am a childhood diabetic. I cannot afford to buy the insulin that I need. If I do not have health insurance that will pay for at least 1/2 of my insulin then I will die by March. Medicaid is not an option - there is a year long waiting list. I can pay up to $500 a month for insurance. But $500 will not cover the cost of my insulin (which is $92 a bottle) for a month. I've contacted broker after broker, the state, and various insurance companies. The insurance at my local university will not cover me for a year (and will only pay $1000 in prescriptions anyway) because of my "preexisting condition". Is there anything that will help me?

I don't know why I'm doing it. Actually, I do. I don't want to go. But everything is so expensive and I would rather spend my hard earn cash on something else. I don't know. I feel something coming. I usually don't tell people how I feel, but I keep it in... until it adds on and on... I feel like I'm going to do something at work that can get me fired. I'm not feeling violent, but I wouldn't mind shoving someone off the stairs. I'm not a violent bipolar. The only times that I have been violent was when I choked my stepbrother, grabbed my friend's neck and pushed her into the wall, threw a textbook at my friend's head, etc. It only happens when I'm already irritated and I don't know. I'm good at controling my behavior, but SOMETIMES...
