Open Question: Weight loss- better results?

Hey everyone :) Im 17 and I have been on a no bread diet for about 3 weeks now. This was really difficult for me to do because bread was a major part of my diet. So far I have been doing well on this diet with an exception to some girl scout cookies I had this weekend. I weighed 152 and now I weigh 154. For some reason I cant receive below 152/153 ish and it really frustrates me lol. I eat around 1500 calories a day and work out on the elliptical/treadmill/bike every monday, wednesday, and friday for 50 minutes. I also have soccer for 2 hours on tuesdays and thursdays. Along with those activities I do a bootcamp video for 20-30 minutes three times a week. I have noticed my legs feel a little more toned but I dont notice any other differences. Why am I gaining weight and what can I do to shed the pounds and then build muscle? Thanks :) Sorry I kinda wrote a lot..very frustrating.. lol

Open Question: Can my friend sue me for this?

Me and my pal hang out after school every day. This kid whos pretty annoying always comes out and trys to find us and play tag with us, but we dont like to, but we play with him anyway. Lets call this kid Bob. After playing tag with bob for about an hour, we decide to wrestle because thats the only thing we like to do together. Bob also enjoys wrestling. This wrestling is like high school wrestling, not like WWE. We are every 14 by the way. Im the smallest, bobs in the middle, and my pal is the biggest. Me and my pal usually double team bob because hes the best. I receive bob into an arm hold that puts pressure on his arm, not hurting him. After about 10 seconds of this hold, he screams out of no where "receive OFF FA GG OT" as noisy as he could. Me and my pal both jumped back it was so noisy and unexpected. He runs for me, throwing me to the ground as difficult as he can, which burned my armfrom sliding. He was like a raging bull, it was crazy. My pal then tackled bob from behind and put him in a chokehold move for no more than 3 seconds, to chilly him down. My pal gets off him, and bob is crying on the floor saying that he cant move his arm for my arm hold I did to him. (he threw me to the ground using BOTH arms). Hes just lying on the ground crying for like 15 minutes, and finally gets up and says hes going to sue us. He then just gets his bike and heads home. Can he sue us if he really wanted to?

Open Question: My workout and diet seems to be ineffective, NEED ASSISTANCE!!!?

Hi, I'm 15 years old 5'4" and 176 lbs. I started working out at the gym at the end of January now it's March and I haven't lost any real weight. I think I was about 178-180 when I began but the only weight I've lost is around my hips and leg area. My stomach is still 43 inches nothing has changed. My old work out consisted of a 10 minute cardio warm up, then I would go hit the elliptical for 25 minutes, power walk on a treadmill for 10 and ride a stationary bike for another 10 minutes leaving the gym with 500 calories burned. Plus 200 from my daily walk. Totaling 700 calories burned. I was wondering if I would look better results doing my 10 minutes warm up, then doing three different weight exercises (2 reps of 25 sets) then did a fitness program like Taibo would I look more results in different areas?

Open Question: Should I ignore her for a little longer or talk to her?

My pal kept suggesting that I invite her over for drinks so we could receive "wasted". I invited her and she refused to drink anymore after she was barely buzzed. She invited me over to her home for a smoke and then changed her mind. A few days later she invited me to hang out but canceled. She asked me to go out of my way to send her some papers that she wanted me to copy and she ended up never using them. Two days ago she asked me to go for a bike ride, she begged me until I finally agreed. I got every my stuff together, waited for her to call, and she didn't. I called her and she told me in an hour. She never showed. We have been best friends for 5 yeats and she is being weird every of a sudden. It's really pissing me off. I ignored her today. I'm gonna have to look her tomorrow on the bus in the morning. Should I say hi/sit with her?

She told me to use the over email when emailing her back, which I did. I said "...thanks, I'd adore to look pictures, etc..." and I haven't heard from her since. -a lady named Emily (irecyclegogreen+96207@gmail.com) replied to my breakfast table ad with the exact same email I got from 'Phyllis', she said she was at work and would send me pictures when she got home, and asked me to email her at the over email address. Her 'home email'. I never heard back from her either. Now I have two postings below my account, one for a toyota camry and another for a yamaha speed bike. It's so weird.

ok, me and my pal met this sweet scorpio girl and became friends. we went bowling with her(i paid for her), took her dirt biking(paid for her meal at tacobell afterward). me and her seemed to have more of a connection. i began to like her! she would hit me up a couple of times on myspace and text me a few times. we like the same things in life like traveling and outdoor activities. last week i showed her a work out at the gym and she enjoyed it. she text me a couple days later and we had a good text conversation. another day i called her and she sounded every excited and we talked a little bit. then said she would call me back. she didn't call back until that night. she was at a party and was bored there and i was at a bar about to leave. it sounded like she wanted to hang out but she said she would talk to me later(she is below 21). before we could hang up i suggested that we hang out the next day. she told me what time she worked and said ok. i didn't make anything specific like what time and what we would do. so i called her the next day and she did not answer. so i called no more. four days later i call her to look if she wants to go snowboarding. no answer. so i call her again. no answer.i don't know if she's at work or if she is just dropping me. so i left a voice message finally. keep in mind, i rarely text her and call her. out of the two months i have known her i have called her about three times. i try to keep it simple and easy and take things slow. what do you scorpio girls think? what should i do? should i play difficult to receive back? please tell me as much as you know! thanks!

Open Question: How can i get this body?

I have gained weight over this past summer. I used to be very thin, naturally. Im five foot six almost seven. i used to weigh about 112-115 now i weigh 125. Starting last week, ive been working out every night for about an hour plus. Ive been doing cardio (15-20 mins of biking, 10 mins of running, 15-20 eliptical) and lifting weights. Ive noticed that i have veryyyy strong abs, but my tummy is chubby and it used to be completely flat before summer. also my arms are muscley but they look pudgy. I know you guys may think im being a drama queen, but keeping in tip top shape is important to me. Ive been cutting back on eating out and eating sugar, and trying to eat clean and stay away from processed foods. My goal is to receive sort of a vs secret body, because i used to have one, with just less muscle. Now ive gained muscle, and weight too. I hate it. i want a body like this: http://www.shopbop.com/apple-bandeau-velvet/vp/v=1/845524441857664.htm?folderID=2534374302025763&fm=sale-shopbysize-viewall or http://cdn.mademan.com/chickipedia//www/images/9/9a/Candice-Swanepoel-08190701_572.jpg ps i used to be like that, my genetics are pretty suited for it i guesss.

Open Question: My knee feels pressure, it can't bend to far, and might asplode.?

My knees are almost always fine, but occasionally they fall below some weird condition, usually my left knee. Well that happened today, what happens is it feels like someone took a syringe of liquid and put in in my knee and pressurized it. And I bend it, I can't go to far, as it feel weird and below pressure like. when I extend it after bending it, it cracks. It feels like something isn't quite aligned right, and feels like a fluid is below pressure in there. There is no pain, just feels odd and uncomfortable. Also, a side note, when I ride my bike, me knees crack as well. I decided to look if I could ride my bike below these conditions, wow, Absolutely not. It hurt so much I almost cried. Yeah, not proud of that. it hurt, a lot. Interesting. It's not a Baker cyst, as there is no bump on the back of my knee. To the best of my description it is throught out the whole knee and feels like it's in between my joints. I got this before when I hyperextended my knee but I haven't done that recently. I also left my hyperextention untreated, can that be related to this?

Open Question: Thyroxine and exercise?

I am on 200micro grammes daily of Thyroxine following a total thyroidectomy just before Christmas 2009. I take the meds first thing in the morning and then don't eat for an hour. Everyday arrive mid afternoon I am exhausted and my legs are like guide. Prior to the operation I was very active doing a lot of cycling, up to 100 miles a week, now I spend most of my time very sleepy not wanting to do anything. My question is this, is thyroxine like insulin in that different activity levels can "use it up" in the body more quickly? If I go for a 20 mile bike ride in the morning am I depleting my dose of thyroxine before the day is out. I ask the doctor and every I receive in response is the stock answer "your bloods are OK". Should I receive my blood taken in the afternoon rather than in the morning. It is no good saying about different tablets. This is the UK, and except in special cases we receive the cheapest tablets the NHS can receive away with. I wish some of that makes sense and I look forward to your advice.

Open Question: Do you think kids are 'forced' to grow up too soon these days?

I kinda think so. I mean nowadays, I look a lot of 11-13 year old boys and girls becoming self-obsessed with their bodies. Boys wanting to have muscles and six-packs, girls wearing makeup and wanting big boobs. Earlier ages interested in seriously having sex, getting drunk, smoking and taking drugs. When I was around that age, being a girl, I was relatively immature and so were most of my friends. I didn't care about makeup or boobs or looking like a top star supermodel. I still loved hanging with my friends, riding my bike and playing my PS2 and Gamecube. I was very naive about sex/drugs/alcohol in general. I was never sheltered as a child (my parents swear 24/7 lol), I was just never interested. Now it seems "adult hood" becomes more appealing at younger ages than it used to. I know 15-16 year olds are maturing and become interested in that stuff, but 11-12 years old? C'mon now.

Open Question: Is it OK to have pain in your knees after a tough sprint?

I've been riding my exercise bike for about 2 years mostly everyday, over these 2 years I really haven't pushed my body too much, I really just wanted to lost some weight which I did do. But now I'd like to make the push and try and work my body some more. So I was on my bike today and I decided to do the pattern of sprinting 1 minute and going slow the next minute and just keep doing that. I do that on medium tension for 5 minutes, then I switch to maximum tension for 5 minutes then relax for about 00:30s - 01:00m, hopefully that's ok. But my main concern when doing this is that when I do maximum tension my legs do feel painful at about the 40 second mark when sprinting, but as soon as I goto to the walking pace - they're fine again. I do feel the pain a bit right at the end of the medium tension sprint, but I guess as that's the end it shouldn't be a problem. Basically I was wondering if this was ok? I was thinking maybe it's a good thing so then the legs will be able to handle such difficulty in the future? Or is it bad that they hurt? The area in which they hurt are two muscles either side of the kneecap. Just below the Rectus Femoris (Or are part of the Rectus Femoris - there should be a diagram of the body on google if you're not too sure where it is) on the front of the legs. The legs are sleepy afterwards but they're ok after that, but I've always had that. So if it's not ok, should I just stick to a lower tension, one that doesn't make them hurt as much (or at every)? Thanks a lot.

Open Question: Dimensions of bicycle vertical dropouts for 135mm wheel spacing?

I need to design and fabricate (cnc mill) custom dropouts for a bamboo bicycle from a dish of 6061 aluminum, but i do not know any of the industry standards for derailleur hanger locations, or disc brake tab locations relative to the location of the rear axle in the dropout. The bike will be using Avid mechanical disc brakes and a 9spd Shimano Deora derailleur, and the dropouts will have a standard 135mm spacing for the rear wheel. If anyone can help me find a general set of dimensions to go from for the derailleur hanger and disc brake tab locations so that I can fabricate these components and continue my construction, I would be extremely grateful!
