  • Please help me with a realistic diet plan? I need to lose weight.?

    Okay so I'm 5'2 and weigh around 136 pounds. I'm barely at a healthy weight right now, but if I gained any more weight, I would be overweight. I've wanted to lose weight for a very long time and I'm finally getting serious about it. Around 110-115 pounds would be my goal.

    I'm in college, LOVE food, and don't love exercise...so eating veggies and working out for an hour every day just doesn't work for me. I've tried and tried and just can't do it. I've started running on the treadmill (though, compared to my friends, I run slow. The fastest I've done is 6.2 mph and I'm most comfortable going 5.8!!) and usually do around 3 or 3.5 miles. I usually eat either a banana or oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast. But by lunch and especially by dinner, I give in and eat badly. I do like vegetables, but when compared to pasta, pizza, or the endless options of other yummy foods, I hardly ever make the right choice. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE desserts. So that's definitely detrimental to my goals.

    So anyway, I was hoping that someone could give me a realistic plan/routine that I could follow for the next few months. I just can't go cold turkey on the sweets or good food because then I end up binging on it and ruining any progress I made anyway. And what should my exercise routine look like?? I'm not that into exercise (I've never had an endorphin rush :( It does make me feel healthier and less chubby after I workout though!! but I can't honestly say I enjoy it...I hate every second of exercising to be honest. And I'm talking about cardio, since I don't really mind weights/crunches/etc) and I love food so much, but I do want to lose these 20-30 pounds. For good. I'm sick of being fat and would love to be able to wear my pretty clothes instead of hiding in baggy tshirts all the time.

    If you have any advice or could give me a manageable routine to follow, that would be great :) I do have *some* self discipline (not a lot though haha) but I can only go without sweets/good food for so long and definitely would love it if I didn't have to work out every day. But I want to lose this weight, so please tell me what will work. PLEASE.

    Thank you!! Sorry I rambled so much :)

  • Easy Economics Problem!! Please help?

    It seems pretty simple, so idk why I can't figure it out, but thanks a lot for helping :)

    A firm produces 30 units of output at a market price of $4, a marginal cost of $4, and an average cost of $2. What is the firm's economic profit?

    so I get that they'll earn $120 from selling the units, but how do you figure out the economic cost? (I don't really get what marginal/average cost is so I'm not sure how to figure this out.)

    Thank you so much!!

  • Is it possible to learn two languages at once?

    I'm in college and I'd love to learn french but since middle school, I've studied spanish. Since I've spent so many years learning spanish (though I'm still not as good at it as you might think. I'm in college intermediate spanish right now) I don't want to stop, but I REALLY want to learn french, so I'm considering double minoring/majoring in spanish and french. Is this possible? Or would it be very difficult to learn 2 languages at the same time?

    thank you. :)

  • if all you eat is a pack of m&m's or a bag of cheetos for a week, would you get fat or lose weight?

    haha trust me, I'm not considering doing this (because I like a bowl of cereal, a sandwich, and a big dinner to go with my m&m's during the day!) but I was just wondering what would happen if you only ate really fattening/bad foods for a while, but only 1 serving, so you wouldn't be getting enough calories...so even though m&ms are bad for you, a bag is only like 250 calories or something, so if that's all you ate every day for a week or two, how would it affect you? obviously you'd be malnourished and stuff, but would you gain or lose weight?

    just wondering! :)

  • ear feels really weird!! please, please help!!?

    i've been sick and my ear has been really itching on the inside (like deep inside kind of like when you're sick and your throat itches but there's no way to help it)...so l know this is stupid but it was driving me crazy: I stuck my finger into my ear and shook it, which really helped the 'itching' at the time but now my ear feels really weird (like kind of stopped up or something) and I'm super scared! every once in a while, there's a tiny little pop, but that's it. it feels super weird. help!!!

    ps I will never shake my finger in my ear again, i know that was super stupid so please don't waste your time telling me it was stupid. thank you.

    pss I'm FREAKING out please help!!

    it's kind of popping (not much at all though) on it's own but it isn't getting better. i've tried yawning and stuff but only the good ear pops. this is freaking me out!! I just went to the doctor 2 days ago (when I had strep and a cold) and my mom took my sister (who got strep from me) today, so she probably won't take me today and I don't want to make her mad and I'm embarrassed since it's my fault that my ear is screwed up! I'm scared about this though, I just want it to be normal again!!
