i got 12 km in this week

thanks everybody.  im going to keep going because doing what im doing is better than doing nothing. 

carrolllyn: i have my thryoid checked every time i go to the doctor because my sister had thryoid cancer when she was only 23. i have to go to the doc on the 2ed so they will praboly be doing one then too.

mperic81: ill try upping my cals a little bit and see if that helps. the walking that i do is the time it takes me to go from my apt to the gym (i use it as a warm up and cool down)

thanks again everybody i feel i have more drive now to continue on

panic attacks and exersise go together for people who have them.  the same system that acts up when you exersise (ie. increced heart rate, sweating, tensing mussles, etc) are the same body reactions as when you have a panic attack.  when you have panic attacks you get a conditioned responce, your mind interprets how your body feels during/after you exersise as a panic attack which you then precede to start panicing because your having a panic attack and it just goes in a vicious little circle.  it is particularly strong if you get panic attacks from a bodly function (like i have emetophobia if i feel the slightest bit nautious or light headed i will go in to a full blown panic attack, so i would have a worse assosiation with after affects of exersise than say a person who is afraid of spiders because not only is it a conditioned bodly responce i would also have the triggers that happan before vomit along with it) 

so yes it is very common. so like the others said make sure you have food and water with you, take slow deep breaths, tell your self there is nothing wrong its just a panic attack, and try to distract your self or have a mantra.  also work on relaxing your body/deep breathing every day for like 5-10min when you DONT have a panic attact.  this will help you be able to calm your self down when you do get them, and eventualy you will start to not have panic attacts after exersising (but its a process and takes time)

good luck

you also cant rule out there being a problem at home. kids (and most adults) are more likely to act out rather than verbalise a problem

look of the concepts of Fromm and Sternberg (particularly starnberg because he uses romeo and juliet a lot) from there you will know what to right.

and i can feel ya try righting a manuscript about love in just one semester. let me tell you it sucks 

good luck. 

the only thing you can do short of surgery is chest exersises. so use free weights and work your chest upper back and sholders. 

1. that is true. it all has to do with the math of it. it takes 3500 cal to make a pound .now lets say you need 2000 a day to get a deficit going slightly over wont hurt you because you burn that 2000. so if you ate 2120 that day it ends up being 120 over and that is far from 3500 hence you would maintain the weight. and its the same for lousing except in the opposit direction. so you dont need to increase the amount of exersise but it will go much slower if you dont (pluss you have to rember to readjust your cal intake to match your new weight)

2. the reason people who have more weight to louse get rid of it faster than those who have less is because they will initialy have a larger cal deficit. lets say they were eating 3000 a day and they go to 2000 a day thats a 1000 diffrence. if a person is going form 2000 to 1500 that is only 500 so the first person will in the begining louse faster, but it will slow down as they louse weight.
