I have been taking NO explode (its great) for the last year. has anyone found anything out there thats better?. I wanted to try something else. has anyone been using any products that has given them great results?? My goal is to pack on more muscle. I also take SYNTHA-6 as a protien supplement. I take about a gram of protien per pound. Im at 190lbs. Im getting bigger i just want an extra edge.
P.S. I am not a beginner. I have been working out all my life. I just wanted to know if there are any good products out there. I know that in the end, hard work is the answer.

thanks

My sons house has several Black Widows. Is there a shot that my two year old granddaughter can get ahead of time in case she should get bit by one. The house has been sprayed by a pro, but we'd all feel better if she could get some type of early antidote. Thanks

She doesn't want to talk about it, but her family needs to know what she will be going through so we can be emotionally prepared. She seems to have little to no pain; has had a high colostomy to relieve strangulation of her intestine by the spreading tumor. Her main symptoms are a distended abdomen and she is very weak.

All the cancer sites online tell about treatments for fighting the disease, but none of them tell us about end of life issues when chemo and radiation are declined by the patient.

... to start off with: I don't have medical insurance (yet) but will in a month, so I'm waiting to go to the doctor. Until then, this is my probelm. Two menstrual cycles in one month, the first one lasting 7 days, then 12 days later followed by another cycle that has now lasted for 15 days. Random fluctuation? Should I be concerned? Or just one of "those things?"

I've had diabetes for about a year now. I've quit alcohole altogether and now looking to further things.

Alcohole was one of the easy ones, but I know what I need to face will be hard. Oh, well, I geuss it needs to be done either way.

Which should I kick first? unhealthy eating or smoking?

I just went to my doctor about a rash around my waist area and he diagnosed it as shingles. However, there is no pain involved, just itchiness. I told him that but he seemed to think it was still shingles. I've checked everywhere online and it seems that pain usually always comes before the rash, which I got a few days ago. Is it possible that the pain will come later or has my doctor misdiagnosed me?

I waited 3 hours and tested it again and it read 179. Could this be caused from eating dinner or do I have diabetes? My father is a diabetic and I use his new breeze meter to test my blood sugar at times, but my readings have never been this high. What do you think? I am really scared.

2007-12-03 15:23:30 · 1 answers · asked by MZ 4 in Diet & Fitness

I am a 20 year old female: 5'5" and 168 pounds. I would ideally like to be 125. Ever since my junior year of high school, when I lost 15 pounds in Phys-Ed during our "running" section, I've been wanting to lose the rest of the weight.

When I graduated in 2005 I was about 170. I gained 15 pounds last winter (around Nov-Dec) bringing me up to about 185 pounds. My family planned a trip to Hawaii this past summer, and I wanted to reach my goal of 125 before our trip in August. I dropped 20 pounds in about 2 months - not even sure how I did it. However, it stopped.

Since the Hawaii trip I've purchased a membership at my community gym. I work out 30 minutes to an hour Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and sometimes Friday and Sunday. I feel this is a decent amount of work out time (30 mintes of cardio and 20 or so of lifting) and yet I'm not seeing any results.

I've been working out on this schedule SOLID for a month and have only lost 3 pounds.

Any advice - 40 pounds in 3-4 month!?

My husband and I want to live healthier. I had a baby 7 months ago and want to lose 15 pounds from my pregnancy. I want to work out not only to achieve this goal but thereafter as a weekly part of my schedule. I want to cook healthier, eat healthier, and have more energy. We have tried and tried and tried to make it happen several times, but always fail because it is easy to get take-out or go thru a drive thru. We always go back to our ways of pizza for dinner, fried foods, ice cream, watching TV instead of getting up to go to the gym etc etc, and we get disappointed in ourselves. Now I am starting to think I need to incorporate one healthy habit into my life, one at a time until it is a part of my daily routine. But I don't know where to start to ensure that I am successful this time. Any suggestions? What is a step I can take, to start living a healthier lifestyle? What would you recommend be the first start so I am successful in my goals? Thank you for your time

someone told me i might have social anxiety. they kinda explained it to me too. i mean i get horrible stomach cramps when ever i have to walk in front of people. i can't speak in front of a large groups of people (like for a presentation) without getting the urge or actually throwing up. i blush or turn bright red when i think people are looking at me
(like when standing in line). and sometimes when they call on me, or kinda put me on the spot, my heart starts pounding, and i get kinda light headed. and i can never look a person in the eyes when talking to them.
so i'm just wondering could i have social anxiety?

i'm 17- 18 in a couple of weeks-- i went through a messy divorce a few years ago-- its still going on even though finalized after 1.5 years in court--- i've moved in with my grandparents and dad-- i'm doing well in school- 90 average overall (senior)--- i've had legititamate jobs since i was 15.

i've had a girlfriend for 2 years (2 weeks away from full 2 years) and we've been through everything you can imagine except pregnancy scares- blackmail- wedding- and living together

we both want a future together after college but it seems too far away-- it seems like we should start now


is it wrong that i feel like i'm 25 when i'm almost 18? is this me being immature or too mature?

So my friend has this odd rash. Started with a small spot on his left leg. It just looks a little dry, but not very noticeable. He says it's usually fine, but if it itches and a scratches it, it feircly itches more. This appeared about 2 months ago, and now there is another spot on the other leg, where his legs touch.
He has no insurance, scabies has been suggested, but I really don't think that's it. It doesn't seem to be very contagious, as it hasn't spread much and no one else has caught it from him.

Thanks!
