I wanna be a professional cricketer so I have relly made a commitment to go to the gym and lift weights and cardio as well to lose weight. I am about 5-10 and look like 6 feet when wearing shoes and I weigh like 80kgs so I don't look like obese or really chubby and girls still like me and stuff but I wanna lose this fat from me and get a flat stomach-possibly abs?? SO i have have been doing cardio like running on the treadmill for 10-15 minutes and then bike and basically try to burn 500 calories. I normally set te exercise to burn about 200 calories for bike or running and combine them to get 500 plus-and I also life weights as well-

So I wanna know when will I see like visible RESULTs where my stomach goes down and I can see VEINS in my muscles and stuff and my face becomes smaller. HOW LONG PPL??its driving me nuts-I am 18 and I go to the gym ranging from 45 minutes to 3 hours. ANd i try to eat healthy like chikcen sandwiches(chicken breast)Tips on using gym if any??

Had arthoscopic knee surgery 10 weeks ago. Currently have pain in the back of my knee and down my shin. Wakes me up in the middle of the night. Doctor says I have severe arthritis on the outer side of my knee but the inner side is okay. I am on pain meds for chronic pain due to MS. Take Opana ER 20mg every 12 hrs and Opana 5 mg twice a day for breakthrough pain. For the arthritis I take Naprelan 375mg (2) at bedtime. Very stiff when I get up. Knee locks up. Can't walk normal because of the pain. Very slow too. The surgery was to take care of torn menicus. Thought I should be better by now. Actually I feel worse. Suggest x-rays or MRI? Anyone experience this kind of pain? Any thoughts of what it could be?

I recently got a Rapid HIV test and it was negative. I tested because I was worried that I could have gotten it from french kissing a HIV infected person. I have been told you cannot. Why am I still not convinced even after a neg test? Do other people suffer from this? It is driving me crazy and I can't get it out of my head!

If someone had their first period for about 20 days (No spotting), should they ask the doctor about taking birth control, or just wait and see how long their next period is? And if so, how long would they take birth control: would it be forever? Thanks!!!

So I just got my first perscription for birth control. I haven't picked it up yet, but the doctor did tell me to take it the fifth day of my period. My last two were irregular and I feel that I might skip (one reason why i'm getting on). Is it such a big deal that I don't wait for my next one to start it or can i just start taking it. I had a well-woman exam, so I know i'm not pregnant. When I start taking the pill, how soon should I get my period again?

Ok, I am not an idiot lets get that stright right now. I was looking at pictures from 2005 and noticed how much thinner they were. I have been on first shift now for a little over a year. Before that my husband was cooking for the kids for oh about 5 years. Now granted I know they grow and all that. But I can see it around there faces and necks and arms...ect. Now I know that it didn't happen overnight. But, when the kids don't like healthy food what do you do??? I force them all to go outside and play. I go out with them even from time to time. But, I am a busy Mom and have so much to do. If there is a web site or book or something that will help me shape up my family with the growing pant sizes please let me know.

My Mom had Cancer and is recovering from a Bone Marrow Transplant. I have some ideas that I want to express on the subject and I wanted to know what others think of visually when they think of cancer.
Such as a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer... but this is not breast cancer so what image in general do you have in your mind when you think of cancer.....
