Moisturizers for men?
Posted Sunday May 16 2010, 10:17 am
So it just hit me that my brother doesn't use moisturizers or sun protection and all the other ladies use it so we definitely need to get him some because using acne medication will make his skin 3x more susceptible to sun damage and his skin is more nice than all of us (baby skin!).
I never really thought of men's moisturizing skin products and I never recall seeing some. So can he use...neutragena, etc or are there specific ones you can recommend? Thanks!

height issue
Posted Friday May 7 2010, 2:41 am
hi, im a 16 1/2 year old girl and i am really short for my age 4'10 and my mom is 5'3 and dad is 5'8 ,& race asian.
And since i am really short im very worried about getting a job and going into college in a few years. Anways i am looking for ways to get taller either naturally or with medications.i don't care the cost as long as it's effective. I hate not being taken seriously by my parents and my brothers and sisters. Even though my mom keeps telling me she stopped growing at the age of 19 so is it possible for me to grow till 19? or Does anyone know of any growth stimulate pills? or do you think the most effective will be taking injections?
I really don't care if my hands grow a bit bigger or w/e my doctor said.

Calcium
Posted Sunday May 2 2010, 1:57 pm
19/f
Alright so the medication I am on depletes the calcium from my body and the bone damage that comes if you do not have enough calcium is not reversible. The problem is, all the calcium supplements I have tried make me pretty sick. I try to get calcium naturally from food but I also am sort of lactose intolerant. I can take about 1 glass of milk with food, but any more than that I get sick. Either way it isn't enough, my doctor said to try and get about 1500 mg a day. Anyway I am concerned becasue I am young and don't want any serve bone damage. Is there anything I could take with the supplement to help me digest them better, or calcium rich foods I that won't make me sick? Thanks

A life of dieting
Posted Monday April 26 2010, 7:22 pm
i was anorexic. i then suffered from BED (binge eating disorder). the doctor explained to me that it was because my body was trying to "restore" all the nutrients it had lost. when i was anorexic, i lost about 30 pounds. Then, i gained about 15 back total, and i felt really good. that was my ideal weight, told by how my body felt, the doctors, and my bmi. i was put on birth control because i lost my period and with the birth control i gained 15 pounds more! right back where i started :(.... the issue is that I gained it purely because of the pills. I eat VERY healthy and exercise every day. the doctor explained to me that it was a shock to my body because it had such little hormones and this was like excess to it. but, now i'm try...

facial mositurizer for dry flaky skin?
Posted Monday April 26 2010, 3:21 pm
My skin is so dry, but kind of oily at the same time. Ive been using Dove deep moisture but they discontinued it. Ive tried, olay moisturizer but it makes my skin even drier when i put it on! It makes my skin flake even more, thats why its so hard for me to find a good moisturizer. Cetaphil doesnt work on me, and clean and clear doesnt either. If anyone has skin like me, please tell me what works for you so i can try them. I exfoliate too, still doesnt help.
Thanks

Frustrated by Food!
Posted Monday April 19 2010, 4:38 pm
I'm 19/F and about 125 pounds. I know for a fact I'm not fat, but I'm not in shape! Before I get myself into a fitness routine, I'm trying to fix my diet. I tend to binge eat sometimes out of boredom and just to feed my emotions. I feel physically stuffed all the time and I hate this feeling! What is a food plan that I could stick to? I'm looking for a 1500 calorie plan. things I like are:
brown rice, shredded wheat cereal, whole wheat pasta, salsa, beans, fruit, sweet potatoes, peanut butter...so, I know what's healthy: I just have gotten a little bored. um, I'll eat most things except for salads. I'm willing to eat healthy, but salads just aren't my thing! anymore food suggestions??? and how should I fit these meals into my day? thank you!

South Beach and Low GI
Posted Monday April 19 2010, 3:04 pm
I started the South Beach Diet 5 days ago and I feel like absolute crap. I am so sick of meats, cheeses, and veggies. I feel nauseous all the time and I have to force myself to eat (so I'm getting under 1000 calories a day and I know thats not good). I feel that if I switch over to a low GI diet, with a few more carbs, that I'd feel a lot better. Should I stick the rest of phase one out(a week and a half left)?

Posted Friday April 16 2010, 10:25 pm
So I need 2 lose like ten pounds. But, I'm having a problem. I am a proffessional cyclist and training to become a certified spinning instructor and personal trainer. My boyfriend is in the marines and is coming back in about 3 weeks. I gained twenty pounds taking medication a few months ago. I've lost about ten or eleven pounds already.

I slacked a little with those meds... I need to lose 10-12 lbs.! But since I d...

healthier skin
Posted Wednesday April 14 2010, 5:41 pm
15/F
So, I've always had very soft, clear skin. But since this school year, I've been having problems. All throughout the winter I would always have at least one issue on my face. It was always between my eyebrows or somewhere near there. And my skin in general was feeling unhealthy. I went to Florida 2 weeks ago, and while I was there my skin thrived. I had color and was completely clear and soft. I came back home, and now I have a small patch of rough, pimple-prone skin in between my eyebrows. Some days it gets red and others it's less noticeable but it won't really go away. Now that I'm not getting as much sun, I feel like my skin is slowly getting worse again. I don't know what it is..in hot weather even my hair gets thicker and ...
