I need to keep my wife walking on egg shells with this issue. I know some women gain weight during pregnancy but i need to minimize this. Can you all tell me how much weight she should be gaining. I will take whatever number you give and subtract five pounds from it, that will be her target weight. If she goes above that i am gone. I don not want her having loose skin, stretchmarks, or saggy breasts when this terrible time is over.

you dont deserve to be a dad. if you really loved her then you will give her time to lose the weight. if she started out skinny that doesnt mean that she will be fat after she has the baby.

such as blood pressure and diabetes, etc. I’m 26 if that helps.
i’m on the weight watchers diet and have been prescribed orlistat and exercise, i don’t need diet tips thanks.

Hi there.
I am a Sports Science Lecturer and here is my opinion on the matter.

Okay the health checks are of vital importance to those who have larger body mass and highe than average BMI scores.
There are several you should consider, heres the ones i recomend asking your GP about.

Blood Pressure: The only way of knowing if you have high blood pressure is by having it measured. This is a critical test to be carried out, fortunately most GPs will perform this at most consultations.

Cholesterol: A high level is one of many risk factors for coronary heart disease. Once again the only way of finding out if your cholesterol level is in the high risk category is by having it measured. Ask your GP to have this measured and seek advice on how to correct any health issues.

Diabetes Screen: This is an urgent issue that you should have checked out. Preventative strategies, and coping strategies to help combat Diabetes. There are currently over 2.3 million people with this condition in the UK, and up to another 750,000 people with diabetes who are unaware that they have it.

Heart Attack Risk: The doctor will give you his/her personal opinion on the risk of this based on several factors including diet, weight, exericse, hereditory implications to name a few.

Stroke Risk: Once again the doctor will give you his/her personal opinion on the risk of this based on several factors including diet, weight, exericse, hereditory implications to name a few.

Heartscan ECG: By having a heartscan ECG (Electrocardiogram) we are able to screen for a number of wave form abnormalities such as an irregular heartbeat.

Lung Function: RESPIRATORY DISEASE is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the UK. More people die from respiratory disease than coronary heart disease or cancer, and respiratory illness is the most common reason for emergency hospital admission. Objective diagnosis, monitoring and appropriate management of respiratory disease require measurement of lung function.

Other Risk assesments may include:
Kidney Screen
Liver risk
Stress Assessment
Body Mass Index
Waist Risk Profile
Waist/Hip Ratio
Body Fat Analysis
Basal Metabolic Rate

Hope i was able to help.

My German Shepherd is over weight and my pitt bull is a perfect weight but has a very sensitive belly, I’d like to keep them both on the same food if possible, is there anything that will fit both their needs?

Science Diet brand dog food has food for dogs with sensitive stomach and obesity.

what health related risk factors increase with obesity?

Hypertension
Hyperlipidemia
Heart Disease
Liver Disease
Kidney Disease

Family and Lifestyle are the only factors effecting obesity if you think about it. Family is the genetic component that affects lifestyle. Lifestyle involves you mental status, physical activity and eating habits.

like kids these days drink it and have obesity, diabetes and tooth problems but yet my grandparents and parents had coca cola and never had problems like that!

Im sure youre grandparents nad parents didnt have loads of 12 packs in the house, computers, tv’s and video games though now did they? Those were treats. Get a coke every once in a while. Go out to eat every once in a while. They were always on their feet playing with friends and working hard. Todays kids sit on the sofa drinking a 12 pack of coke while eating cheeseburgers. that should explain it.

I have consistently had a problem with how much I weigh. I am 5′2 and 13 years old (going into 8th gr.) and I am 86 pounds.

I usually want to weigh less and sometimes I think about starving myself.

What is a healthy weight for a thirteen year old? I don’t want to be overweight.

110 would be healthy. You’re quite underweight which isn’t great for you. If you don’t feel comfortable you might just be untoned. Try doing some firming excersize such as swimming. X

I’m thinking of taking flying lessons and wondered what the health requirements are. I am color-blind. Would that affect my eligibility? What are any other health requirements?

You should be in good general health and free of any medical conditions which might cause you to become incapacitated in flight, such as epilepsy, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension (because of the increased risk of incapacitating heart problems or stroke), etc.

You can get a license if you are color-blind. If you can pass any one of about two dozen approved color vision tests, you can get an unrestricted license. Otherwise, you’ll generally get a license that doesn’t allow night flight or flight without a working radio.

That’s how it works in the U.S. Other countries may differ.

In general, the medical requirements for pilots are still very strict and somewhat inconsistent—if you’ve ever had a seizure in your life, you might be disqualified, but if you take a drug like ethanol daily, no problem. The FAA claims that at least 95% of all applicants can obtain a medical certification allowing them to fly.

If you can’t get a license, you can still fly, but only with a licensed pilot who acts as pilot in command. So you could fly a small Cessna with yourself and a licensed pilot friend on board, for example.
