I pretty much need to focus on my legs right now, even though I have other problem areas. I have lost a total of 90 lbs so far but it seems that with the weight I lost my muscles as well. I really need to tone my legs from top to bottom. I use the tread mill and walk between a half mile on a lazy day and a mile and a half on a better day, I recently bought a mini stair stepper which I just started using a limited amount. I would like to gain great muscle tone in order to help me burn fat.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks..

In the last year I have had increasing problems including

1. Confusion after eating

2. Headaches

3. Rashes/itching

4. Light headed or feeling faint

In the last year I have also lost a little over 80 pounds, I feel like I should feel so much better, but now I feel worn out. My favorite sweets make me sick. Does anyone have any idea of why this might be occurring?

I really dislike going to the DR, I only go if I have to go.

My blood sugar was tested about a year and a half ago and was normal.

I am 33 years old.

I have had all kinds of tests done, they all came up negative, accept one. I have always had extreme anemia. It seems to have gotten worse. I do not take Iron because it constipates me. I have had an extra hard time healing as of the last year. I had an HIV test and it was negative, and all other tests that are under the sun. Can severe anemia make it difficult to heal when untreated for many years? I have also lost 80 pounds in the last year by dieting. Help please.

For example is you are on a diet of 2500 calories, how many grams of fat are you consuming? I have been trying to stay between 50 and 60 grams of fat per day or less, however I have ignored my calorie intake. It has been brought to my attention that counting calories may be more important than counting fat...Help me please...Thanks.

He will not pee standing up, a normal size potty seat that snaps on the toilet is too small for him. Is there a cup that snaps directly on the toilet so that he will stop peeing outside of the toilet. He does not understand to hold it down yet....Please only helpful answers, if your feeling like being funny pass this question by.

I am so frustrated.

Help.

I am helping my elderly father pick a TV, he wants to know other peoples opinions of why? Please Keep in mind we have an Autistic child who likes to touch the TV alot.

Also my Cholesterol is 225, does that mean I should have less than the average person? How much is the right amount?

I have what feels like a yeast infection, unfortunately since I had my last child 9 years ago I have suffered from many of these.

I am suffering from itching/sensitive skin/some burning/ and swelling.

I have not had any sexual contact for over 7 months, until today, we had to stop because I began to bleed. It was bright red in color and intercourse was painful.

I did feel discomfort for about 5 days now, but I used Monostat 3 and it seemed to be gone, now I see it is not and I do not know if I should be worried. I bought monostat 1 today and am hoping it fixes my problem.

I honestly hate going to the DR so I wont if I do not have to.

I recently asked a question about whether people would be interested in reading/ receiving a news letter with information about various special needs such as autism. I can see that the answer is clearly yes...so if you have any ideas, comments, incites, or a story you would like to share or just want to receive information in your email please feel free to contact me at magzstrohmeyer@yahoo.com or leave your comments and suggestions here.

Thanks for giving me your thoughts and incites in advance I appreciate it.

If you were to reciew a monthly news letter giving you information about autism and other disabilities would you read it? If so what questions would you like answered? What subjects would you like to bring to the publics attention?

I am a preschool teacher and I just started a new job two weeks ago. My aide has been there a lot longer than I have, but I want to make changes to the classroom and the way things are done. Should I go ahead and make the changes or just leave well enough alone?

I recently started recovering from severe depression. I was placed on a medication (Effexor) which I am now weaning off of...

I was in very bad shape for a long time and during this time my mom helped me raise my kids. I had no idea how much control I gave her until recently.

Now that I am able to care for them and do sooo much more than before I find that my mother and I are constantly fighting over "rules" and "discipline".

Without making her feel that I am not grateful for her or hurting her feelings, how do I take my control back?

Yes we live with my parents due to low income so she really is driving me crazy...help.

Effexor, I have just completed the first month of weaning off of Effexor. This entire month I was moody, agitated, fearful, confused, sweating, low grade fever, increased anxiety attacks, diarrhea, and extra tired. I am experiencing new symptoms such as the need to run away from my life, feeling caged in, heightened fear of being abandoned, and chest pain.

I feel an intense need to be loved/held. However, I wont let anyone touch me except my youngest son for very long. I can not be touched without feeling a gross feeling. I have always been like that a little but its so much more prominent now. I do find that I do make exceptions to being touched for those who I trust greatly. Or that I think I can trust greatly, I am not always the best judge of character.

I do not know what to continue to expect during my weaning process. I am scared that the symptoms will get worse

My male friend of 14 years decided to get back with his ex gf, he has decided to let her move in with him which means that we can only be "secret friends" I can only talk to him on his cell phone while he is at work because she wont let him have female friends.

I know he loves her and I want him to be happy...so why does it hurt so bad? Why am I crying?

I like it,

Tell me something about yourself that is shocking or about someone else haha...

It seems that I have run into sooooooo many guys that want sex and come at me as if they want a relationship. However, as I tell them no to the sex they run as if I threw a bomb at them. I just feel as though I have to clench my legs shut and put a pad lock around them because I do not want to be used. I do want a relationship though.

I had a dream about one of my ex boyfriends. In the dream we were in school, I think it was a college. Anyway he and I broke up and then got back together but he did not contact me for a few days. I ran into him at school with another woman. I asked him if we were not together anymore and he said no we are not it was my choice as if we never made up.All of the sudden I had so much more strength and I kept pushing him into the wall. His new girlfriend in the dream came at me with fist held high and I asked her do you want to fight me? She said no and walked away. I pushed him again.

The dream moved from that to me helping out in the book store and being hit on by a very attractive man. I kept telling him no.

My dream then skipped to me trying to get to somewhere in the school with a friend and not being able to get there.

It kept getting stranger and I was wondering if anyone is good at dreams and meanings?
