Men are like..Department Stores. Their clothes are always half-off.
Men are like..Government Bonds. They take so long to mature.
Men are like ..Horoscopes. They always tell you what to do, and are usually wrong.

Why am I not losing weight?

I am an 18 year old male. About 6′ tall, weight in the 170s, waist size at belly button is a roughly 34.25 inches. I have been using my elliptical machine during the summer weekdays for over a month now, and I don’t seem any thinner, and I still have a bad complexion. What am I doing wrong?

Details:

My routine is:
M/W/F: Set the resistance on the elliptical machine to 5 (out of 12) and try to maintain an average of 1 cycle (2 steps) per second for the duration of two episodes of Seinfeld on DVD with 5 min or so break in-between the
episodes.

Tu/Th:Set the resistance on the elliptical machine to 4. Warm up at 50 cycles/minute for 5 min. Go as fast as I can for 30 sec, then slow for 30 sec and repeat 14 more times. Then cool down at 50 cycles/min for about 2.5 minutes.

I have also been doing crunches in the shower after my exercise almost every day for the last couple weeks. I did 20 at first, for the last three times or so I’ve been doing 30.

Diet:
I have almost completely given up sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and I avoid fatty dairy foods like cheese and milk.

For breakfast I usually have a piece of toast and a banana with water.
Lunch, if I have it, is as whatever healthy food I can find. Perhaps carrots and a turkey sandwich. Always with water.

Dinner: Whatever my parents give me. Usually it is something reasonably healthy. Yesterday we had rice and jambalaya and fruit. Today we are having hamburgers. (I will have mine with fruit,vegetables, and water). I always have water with dinner.

I almost never eat dessert anymore. I don’t think I’ve had any this month except yesterday I had salt-less popcorn flavored with herbs cooked in vegetable oil, and today i will have a brownie.

The only thing I can think of that I might be doing wrong is that my lifestyle outside my exercise is very sedentary. But if that’s not the one and only reason, then why am I still fat and ugly?!?!
eggs are full of cholesterol :(

I am 17 years old and I’m not entirely sure about my weight right now, considering I hate going on the scale, but as of last month I was 145 pounds, and I’m just about 5′2. In about a year and a half I lost more than 50 pounds and I want to lose about 10 to 15 more.

I don’t eat anything relating to junk food–potato chips, nutri-gram bars, ice cream, popcorn, pop tarts, candy, fruit roll-up snacks, etc. If something has high fructose corn syrup in it I won’t eat it—at least not as much as I used to (I recently discovered that Apple Sauce and Ketchup have high fructose corn syrup in it and that was quite the letdown). I eat about three or four kinds of fruit daily, and whole grains. If I want a snack I go for fruit, Welches Fruit Snacks or Snyders Pretzels with no grams of fat or calories of fat. That’s another one of—I guess you could say—quirks to my daily diet, if anything has more than 10 calories of fat I try my best to stay away from it. I keep away from meats unless it’s turkey or grilled chicken. Whenever I go out to eat somewhere I typically get a salad with the dressing on the side–I don’t eat croutons. I also absolutely love Kix and Special K cereal. I used to eat Blueberry Special K until I learned it had High Fructose Corn Syrup in it.

I go to the gym everyday, except for Fridays and maybe one other day throughout the week. While at the gym I typically run about 4 miles on the treadmill and go on the elliptical for a little bit, unless I go on the elliptical for 65 minutes, then I don’t typically go on the treadmill. It ranges depending upon how I’m feeling that day. I use the leg machines as well. For some reason I feel like I’m gaining muscle instead of losing weight.

Do you agree with my family and friends that I’m being absolutely ridiculous? Do you think I’m doing something wrong?

I am 29 years old i had my 4th child 8 months ago. When I am not pregnant I weigh around 140 pounds (I am 5′7") and get up to about 205 by end of pregnancy. I am back down to 143 pounds, but I can’t get past that. I have been trying very hard for about 3 weeks to lose weight, and i have gained a pound. Typical day of eating before: b fast- sugary cereal white toast with butter, lunch- cheeseburger, fries, coke, snack- chips or crackers with cheese, dinner- meatloaf, mashed potat., greenbeans cooked with bacon, sweet tea., another bad snack.
Typical day of eating now: bfast- honey nut cheerios with skim milk (I measure out 1 serving), lunch- salad with baked chicken fat free dressing (no cheese, bacon, croutons etc.), snack- 100 cal bag of popcorn, dinner- baked chicken, brown rice and a veggie unsweet tea or diet soda, snack sugar free popcicle (30 cal) I went from being very active with my life but no exercising to going to the gym 5-7 days a week. doing 2 sets of 10 on all of the weight machines with as much weight as i can stand and 40-50 minutes of cardio (i try to keep heart rate around 170) short of starving myself and living at the gym what else can i do? I am very discouraged.

Kissing problem??

I’m going out with this guy…he’s got nearly everything: good-looking, sweet, funny, outgoing…but he cant kiss at all :-/ he uses way too much tounge..its like making out with a washing machine, I know its not as important to other things but to me kissing is really important..i’ve only kissed him once but i was soo bored that i just wanted to be home under my quilt eating popcorn and watching a movie!

I’m going out with him again tonight but how much more time should i give him?? he’s nearly 18 (2 years older than me) so he should be able to kiss better IMO

I’ve been with my girlfriend for 7 months now. We’re both 23 years old. From day one, I’ve been paying for everything when we go out. I pay for the movies, the popcorn, the drinks, dinner, etc. She hardly ever offers to pay for anything! We’ve seen a total of 9 movies together since we’ve been together, and I paid for 8 of those. She only offered to pay one time because the line at the ticket counter was very long so she decided to use the ticket machine instead.

She works two jobs and makes a LOT more money than I do, yet I still pay for practically everything. I would be more than happy to pay 50/50, or take turns paying when we go out, but she seems to have no problem at all letting me pay for everything. It’s starting to make me mad and I am really considering on confronting her about this soon, even if it risks starting an argument.

underweight and Type 2?

I have been suffering with Diabetes for 5 months now and can not get any relief, I’m hoping someone may have gone through what I am dealing with now and can point me in the right direction. I was diagnosed with Type 2, I am 5′5, 36 years old, weigh 125lbs, I consider myself a healthy eater and a moderately active person. I have moderately high blood sugars ranging from 100-200. I am a human blood glucose machine. As soon as I start to go up (over 140) I know it right away and become ridiculously miserable. I start to get a weird feeling in my mouth that resembles the coating you get after eating one of those cheap microwave butter popcorn bags, which starts me on the constant fluid intake and restroom breaks. If it stays high I start to feel like I will literally turn to dust, my skin and scalp become itchy (so itchy I swore I had lice once even though no one could find anything and even treated my self for lice). I get weak where even getting up to go to the restroom is an effort. I just have an overall lousy feeling. When my blood sugars get in the 150-160 range it starts to affect my emotions and I will burst into tears almost instantly, which can be quite embarrassing in a public place. I am constantly tired. I honestly cannot take it anymore! It’s affecting my work and my home life (I am a single mom with 3 teenagers, and high stress.)

I am currently taking the tried and true, Metformin 1000 mgs in the morning and another 1000 mgs in the evening. To be perfectly honest it helps a little bit by taking the edge off my symptoms, my blood sugar is still a roller coaster. I have tried other meds, such as Actos, but that did nothing for me. It can be fine one moment and then in an instant I can feel like I’m dieing.

My a1c is always perfect (5.5), but I am VERY anemic, and that can cause lower a1c. I have fought with kidney infections all my life. My doctor thinks I am hypochondriac and has even giggled at my symptoms when I tell him. I am in a rural community and there are no specialists in this field here, as well as the fact that I am not currently insured at the moment. Almost all the information I have on this horrible disease is from the internet and books as my doctor, told me nothing.

I am wondering if it is possible that I may have been misdiagnosed…… Perhaps a type 1? I feel like I am losing my sanity along with my health and I need help. Any advise on how to handle my situation???
