I am now 16 years old and I want to find ways to shape my body as best as i can. I started to lift weights during 9th grade at 14-15 years old for about a year. Wanting to become a little bigger, i had gained much muscle mass. The results were obvious. During my sophomore year i had totally cut off my weight training and any kind of exercise. By the end of my sophomore year I had gained a lot of fat, my muscles started to become mushy and loose. Now I really do not see my body as healthy. Right now i would rather not gain much muscle mass, but I do want to lose weight, appear to be slimmer, possibly look taller through special exercises, and especially LOSE THIGH AND BELLY FAT. I just seem lost right now. Throughout my high school career so far, i had gone from 150 pounds to 205 pounds. My body is loosely muscles, mildly wide, and 5’7 tall. What should i do to get my dream slender looking body? (forgot to mention, my arms are huge for my height and age T.T)

I lost 30 lbs last summer through diet and excercise and am having trouble this spring getting going. I do 4 days of cardio and 2 days of weights. My diet is real good most of the time. The only problem I see is my after 9pm hunger, which usually only is rice cakes (2 tops) w/PB. Any suggestions with my late night hunger or weight loss in general? THANKS!!

A little long, but PLEASE help me out here!

Hello, a little background information:

I’m an 18 year old male living with parents and a sister. I lift weights and exercise daily, watch what I eat and I am very conscious of my physical health. I have a variety of friends, and I’m out almost every night with them.

When I was 12 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I received treatment and medication until about the age of 16-17 when I decided to stop taking my anti-depressants. I had a good couple of years, until early-mid 08.

I suffered through a difficult break up in May, shortly after my dog passed away. These were two events that I found nearly impossible to cope with at once- but I managed. However, ever since then, I have had terrible derealization and depersonalization symptoms.

Now I realize that reality is still intact, however it feels like I am no longer a part of it. I can still feel physical contact, laugh, make jokes, carry fluent conversations, hold a job, exercise and maintain relationships, but I still don’t feel like any of it is actually happening.

I’ve asked my shrink about this before and he told me to cut back on the stimulants, as they perpetuate the symptoms of anxiety. I still have yet to completely stop using them due to my high level of physical activity.

Er, back to the question: Are my feelings of derealization/depersonalization signs of an oncoming psychosis, or am I freaking out about it and making it worse?

My symptoms lately have been:

Rapid/Weird thoughts at night
Insomnia
Mood swings
Derealization
Depersonalization
Inability to concentrate (not often)
Flat expression(usually only to strangers at work)
Slight short-term memory impairment
Irrational fears
Panic attacks
Depression

am I about to go crazy? do those who are developing schizophrenia realize they are becoming ill like I am?

Somebody please help and put my mind to rest.
Oh, and I’ve never heard voices, seen things, had delusions or experienced any other sign of psychosis.

I’m 24 years old, and I used to be in amazing shape. Then at the end of 2008 (just roughly after I hit 24 in September) I lost ALL my energy. I became super tired, and even doing the smallest task exhausted me. I gained over 50 pounds in just a few months. It just kept getting worse. I went to one doctor and he said that my Testosterone level being at 292 was completely normal for my age, and that I was just depressed. So he put me on anti-depressents and I still felt horrible. Finally 2 months ago I switched doctors, and my current doctor told me that my Testosterone levels should in no way be at 292, but at my age be between 700-1000 range. So he put me on Testim 1% (a testosterone gel which I apply once a day which gives me 50 mg a day). And while I am feeling a great deal better, I am not however losing weight. I dont get whats going on. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it just going to take time for my hormones to correct my body, or am I just stuck?

(Fyi I exercise roughly 3 hours every day, I lift weights for 1 hour, then I go boxing for 1 hour and at night I take my dog for a nice walk for 1 hour) Not over training, but keeping myself active, but not dropping any weight.

How old do you have to be to buy diet pills?Now please dont go on saying diet pills are bad.Anyways and what pills would you suggest?
how about for a 13 year old?If not then how could i exercise when its freezing out and I have no tredmill nor weights.I have worked out in September and all I did was gain weight.

Im thinking about starting a protein diet. I start the day with drinking an egg (dont bash me with salmonella preaches cause its real rare), i lift weights about every day or every other day and i eat a good amount of meat. I also have a protein shake about once every week…i would have more then one a week but buying it from smoothie king is expensive.
