Definitely go!!! Ovarian cancer is nothing to wait around for. I don't mean to scare you, but don't let body image stop you from potentially saving your life. Think about it this way: on the off chance you do have ovarian cancer, the symptoms will worsen so badly that you will have to go anyway. So either way you need to visit the doctor. They'll probably do an ultrasound and blood work. Nothing major and will take only a few minutes.I'm at a normal weight, and I still feel weird having a stranger, like a dermatologist or OB-GYN, see my body. But they have seen hundreds of women and nothing phases them. They have seen it all and then some. Doctors are trained to be 100% professional, and they understand that many patients do feel self-conscious. Perhaps bring it up with your doctor when you go. She may help put your fears at ease. But I think every woman, no matter how she looks, is a little nervous going to the gynecologist. It's normal and you're not alone. I wish you the best of luck!

how can I lose weight easily?

I think i'm pretty healthy, except I want a flatter belly. on more than one occasion, I have been asked if I was pregnant(and i'm not.) i'm between the ages of 12-15. I've been trying to work out but it doesn't do anything to help. i'd like to be able to have a nicer body, a flat stomach. i'm about 5'4, maybe an inch or so taller, I don't really know. I've tried to eat healthy, I really have, but my family honestly doesn't really try. we get lots of soda(i'm trying to quit drinking it) and chips and other unhealthy snacks. I've tried to get them to buy more healthy stuff but they really don't listen, I guess. please help me?

How to Lose Weight With Gluten Free Foods

Recommended Answer:

I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

How to Lose Weight & Keep a Healthy Looking Face

Recommended Answer:

that's a good amount of exercise as long as its right for you and you're having rest days etc. also try some weight training if you don't to that already. loads of cardio will help you lose weight but weight training will help you gain lean muscle mass (if you want that, that is! :L)

Other Answers:

• Play football xd
• 5 days and 2 rest days. Split your rest days. So 3 days on 1 off 2 on 1 off. That way you exercise different days every week too

How can I lose 10 pounds in a week?

I want to eat as clean as possible, no meat or sugary drinks. Like, this is what I have planned.Steel cut oats made with organic unsweetened milk and a sliced banana on top plus cinnamon for breakfast. For lunch, a salad with nuts/seeds and some fruit on the side like a kiwi and 3 large strawberries? For an afternoon snack, an apple and for dinner, a half a cup of quinoa with 2 pieces of broccoli, 2 pieces of cauliflower, some carrots, a little red onion, some corn and green beans.Of course drinking 4-5 bottles of water through out the day and 30minutes of walkingI'm only 13 but from what I read, this is extremely healthy. Do you think I'll lose ten pounds in a week? I really want to do it the healthy way, I don't want to starve myself or not be eating enough of the healthy foods. Do you have any other advice, tips? Thanksss.

Carots and bananas score high on the glycemic index . So eliminate them.Replace them with non refined carbs. Too much fruit can trigger long term hunger pains.Apples are good, Corn is worthless. Add some salt to the water after walking. Also, shoot for 2 pounds a week

Other Answers:

• You won't lose 10lbs in a week unless you're really overweight, like 100lbs+ overweight. Normally, expect to lose 1-2lbs a week. If you eat healthy and workout well, you will lose weight, just be patient and let it work.
• Buy 10 scratch cards/ lottery tickets :)
• I don't think its possible to loose ten pounds in a week, unless you very over weight. maybe you will loose like 1-5 pounds a week I hope you get to your goal weight though!
• You can't lose ten pounds in a week. Maybe in about 5 weeks you could.
• Hun, there is no way that you can lose 10 pounds in a week. And if you do, you're just going to gain it back! Trust me, I've been there... Done that. Fad diets are only temporary! And I know that you'll probably want to keep the weight off. So this is what you do... Introduce healthy foods to your diet. Don't cut out bad foods completely. You're going to make a new life style for yourself! Don't deprive yourself! You're young! Enjoy life!But seriously, if I could go back in time, I would change my eating habits at a young age! That way it wouldn't be so hard now!
• first of all I do not recommend you as a 13 year old to be dieting unless you are severely overwieght.Dieting at such a young age can stunt you growth.and at this age you are going throught puberty but if its necessary there is a 3 day diet that helps you lose 10 pounds in 3 days.My sisters and mother have tried and lost in the weight in the 3 days.Day 1BreakfastBlack coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets artificial sweetener1/2 grapefruit or juice1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butterLunch150g (5.5oz) tuna1 piece toastBlack coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets artificial sweetenerDinner85g (3oz) any lean meat or chicken150g (5.5oz) green beans125g (4.5oz)carrots1 apple125g (4.5oz) vanilla ice creamDay 2BreakfastBlack coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets artificial sweetener1 egg1/2 banana1 piece toastLunch225g (8oz) cottage cheese or 150g (5.5oz) tuna8 cream crackersDinner2 beef sausages85g (3oz) broccoli or cabbage65g (2.5oz) carrots1/2 banana65g (2.5oz) vanilla ice creamDay 3BreakfastBlack coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets artificial sweetener5 cream crackers25g (1oz) Cheddar cheese1 appleLunchBlack coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets artificial sweetener1 boiled egg1 piece toastDinner150g (5.5oz) tuna125g (4.5oz) carrots140g (5oz) cauliflower175g (6oz) melon65g (2.5oz) vanilla ice creamIn addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 950ml (1.75 pints) of water or non-caloric drinks dailybut you have to eat all the food on the diet,your diet will help you lose wieght but not 10 pounds in weeks time,10 pounds is 4.5kg but after the diet you need to continue eating healthy or you could gain the weight back,hope this helped :)heres the website aswell for you to check it out: http://www.webmd.boots.com/diet/features/the-3-day-diet
