For example you eat 2000 calories per day, do you need to do exercise each day that will burn off 2000 calories in order to lose weight??

I had my yearly physical and some microscopic blood showed up in my urine. The doc sent if off for a culture and it came back clean no infection. I had a complete hysterectomy years ago and still have reg exams at the gyn every year with no problems.I have no pain and no fever. I do not drink alcohol or smoke. I do take a hormone and that is about it.

My cholesterol was a tad high but I am not overweight at all. I am over 40 but under 50. I have job that requires me to stand all day most of the time I do not have a problem with that.

I have never had any children and the hysterectomy is the only surgery I have ever had. Today the doc took another urine sample and it still has microscopic blood in it he is going to have it cultured again just to make sure there is no infection.

Any ideas what it could be?

When i went to see him 3 weeks ago for an evaluation, I was on 100mg daily. He asked for me to decrease my dose to 75mg for the first week, then, 50mg the second week and 25mg the third week and then, come back and see him.

If you've ever had thoughts of suicide or doing harm to yourself and you stated "Yes"? Do they automatically lock you up in a mental institute or does that help the therapist prescribe the right medication and dosage level?

I recently picked up a prescription for generic medication. The pharmacy said the insurance co. wanted to talk to the doctor first before they'd cover it. I bought the medication anyway, it was cheap enough.

If i have my doctor call them now, would they possibly reimburse me for the cost they didnt cover originally?

heres the deal: around june-september of this year i was taking the birth control pill YAZ. I was always taking it every other day because i forgot to take it, so in september i gave up and stopped taking it. I didnt take it for 3 months and never got my period. I took a pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago and it came out negative. so i started up on the pill again so i would get my period. I have been really good and have taken it every day without forgeting a pill. I am now on my last 3 pink pills, so i am expecting my period in about 4 days. But something strange has begun. I have chocolate brown discharge, and a little cramping. Im not sure if this is normal, or if soemthing serious is going on. I also saw on a website that your period can begin a little early on your first pill back. Can anyone help me understand whats going on?? IM CONFUSED!

So, I am not overweight or unhealthy...

I am 5'2" and about 120lbs and workout 4-5 times a week. I've actually lost about 15 pounds over the last year...

...but I go through phases where I crave certain foods (mostly unhealthy). I'm usually never hungry, but it's like my body just can't live without them. When I am not having these cravings I have no problem eating healthy and resisting unnecessary binges (I'm not bulimic...I do not purge).

Could this be an imbalance in my blood-sugar levels or some other hormonal problem? Or do I just need more will power and distraction to get through my food-phases?

I eat bread alot. and before i found out that too much of the wrong kind of bread is healthy for you, i was eating normal white bread. but since i love eating bread with my meals. i switched to whole-wheat bread.

I was just wondering is even whole-wheat bread unhealthy for me? will that make me gain weight? ( i dont want to )

i actually heard it from a good source that wearing glasses can make you dependent on them, making your eyesight worse. I am questioning this "mith" because while my sister and i both wear glasses, only she dutifully wore them each and every day, yet... her eyesight got worse while mine stayed the same.

Are these good excercies for the winter when you can't go run or anything?
-jumping on a mini trampoline for 20-25 minutes
-jumping rope for 20 minutes
-excersise dvd for 20-30 minutes

Are these both good, healthy snacks?
-lightly salted mixed nuts and raisins(a serving)
-1 slice of 100% whole wheat bread with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Both are about 200 calories so I would think so.......

Anyway, I'm not trying to lose weight(don't need to) just stay healthy during the winter, thanks :)
