Health - 4 December 2007

Ok, so, I lost fifty pounds already and I have forty more to go, I'm just wondering, (even though several people have assured me I won't get the loose skin once I'm done) I've seen people get that really loose saggy skin when they are done losing weight, in those cases it was extreme and they were really really overweight older people, but I was wondering if that could happen to me? I'm twenty years old, this is why they say my skin won't go that way because I'm still young BUT nonetheless, I'm still somewhat worried because I was overweight for a long time. So that's my question, thank you for your time.

to add to this I know by doing research online that it's not panic or anxiety attacks, or stress.

Sometimes, not very often, I get a sharp pain in my lower back, and when I lean up against something, the pain instantly moves to my stomach, and stays there until I take pressure off of my back, and it returns to its original location. Has anyone else ever experienced this? And does anyone know what causes this?

I am 19 years old. I have OCD and a phobia of HIV.

I am a virgin waiting for marriage. I have NEVER used IV drugs. My parents are healthy and llifestyle is contained.

A couple of months ago I kissed this guy, oxygen was present and I didn't notice any bleeding. It was about 2 seconds. I tested HIV NEGATIVE at 6 weeks and 5 days after that kiss.

And then I had a blister pop on the gas pump and I didn't notice any blood/semen on the gas pump to have gotten it.

So I don't think that I have been exposed at all. However I am worried.

I think that I am getting smaller.

I used to be in good shape in high school and then graduated and college life has me eating fast food 2 and 3 times a day.

For about a week or a less than a week ago, I started cooking at home for lunches and dinner...

My pants today feel a little looser.

Is the change in how I fit into my pants HIV or is this normal?

Please help me!

I know that people with HIV lose a drastic amount of weight.

Should I worry?

Even when I use a professional, high-tech scale, one day it says 118, a week later it says 125, and a few days later, 120. Why is it that I gain and loose weight so easily?

Thigh fat, belly fat, etc.

Is it possible to actually shed it off with exercise? Because I heard that it is only water weight that you burn and muscle you gain when you exercise. How can I get rid of body fat?

ive asked questions but want more answers okay i know that HIV has a very low chance of getting it if you and your partner have only messed around with each other i know that it is RARE but a while back i thought i had a cold sore and me and my boyfrined messed around i gave him oral and then we had sex but we didnt have a condem and i got nervous so he stuck it in then back out because i didnt want to BUT then he gave oral so i am wondering if we could have contracted HIV somehow from that? I've been to the doctor and told him my story and him and the nurse seem to think that we could of contracted herpes but the chance of HIV is low do you agree with him or should i be worried I do get paranoid VERY easy! so this might be silly to some of you i dont know im just worried!

I am 14 years old. My sister attempted suicide and got immediate attention and medical help. I have been telling both of my parents that I need medical help. I suffer from great depression (to the thoughts of suicide). I have attempted suicide and have cut/ injured myself in many ways. Though I have been caught by them they still will procrastinate in taking me to get help. I honestly think I may be bipolar but my voice is not heard. What do I do?

I have a regular desk job (behind a computer all day...grr) and I need some ideas for what I should eat at work (I typically don't take a lunch break). I now only bring a few packets of instant oat meal every day which I eat for lunch, a couple peices of fruit, and I have a box of tea bags at my desk which I just put in my watter bottle.

I ran my metabolism up so high that I'm always starving when I get home and always eat terrible stuff.

What are some snack ideas for the office (I have a fridge avaliable for me)? What do you take to work?

Im just curious to what motivates people to get up and exercise. I try and beg my friends to join me for my run and exercise but they say no and claim they have no motivation!! Is that true, people who dont work out have no motivation or is that just another way of saying "im lazy?" Well what motivates me is fitting into smaller pants, getting compliment, and the fact that exercising just makes me feel better about myself and everything. I have more energy..So Im asking what motivates you?
