What is the proper word to use in this sentence?

Question:
(A man has landed on a small tree, causing it to bend over beneath his weight).

As he rolled aside, the tree sprang upwright.

-or-

As he rolled aside, the tree sprung upwright.

Not sure if it is correct to use «sprang» or «sprung» for this past tense action.

Answer:
I would be more worried that «upwright» got past your spellchecker

dictionary.com lists both forms, but «sprang» is first, meaning that it’s more correct (insofar as anything in English can ever be correct) or at least, more common.

Short answer – either is acceptable. Pick one spelling and stick with it.

Juice Fast for weight loss?

Question:
I am a 20 yr old female (college student) im looking to lose 25-30lbs…i want to begin a juice fast or detox diet on sunday 8/2. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do? and how can i go about it? im looking to do a fast so i can begin eating healthy again..

Thanks in advance

Answer:
hey, i’m also 20 and looking to lose about 25 pounds. i thought about a juice fast, but i’m trying the master cleanse instead for the whole 14 days to help with cravings. also, i’ve wanted to become a vegetarian for a while now, but my cravings are really bad. the master cleanse is supposed to help with that. anyways, i’m on my third day and i’ve already lost 7 pounds! your supposed to use 8 oz water, 1-2 T pure maple syrup (grade b is best), 2 T lemon juice, and 1/8 tsp of cayenne or red pepper. i can’t stand the way it tastes with the pepper added, so i don’t use it, however i got some capsules that i’m going to start adding in tomorrow. from what i’ve read and from what the pamphlet says, if you end the fast correctly and eat healthy you will continue to lose weight, or at least not gain it back. good luck!

Aren’t I supposed to loose weight,not gain it?

Question:
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few weeks ago,and I’m on Synthyroid.

But,I gain weight instead of loose it,I’m 150 pounds or so.

Isn’t one of the symptoms loosing weight?

Answer:
Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid produces more than its supposed to (you are skinnier than you are supposed to be)

Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid produces less than its supposed to (you are fatter than you are supposed to be)

so unfortunately if its hyperthyroidism, the meds are gonna make u gain weight

Never had acne at this part. What could they be? they don’t hurt or anything? I dont do any type of drug or anything. And how could i get rid of em.

heres a picture http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i282/t…

Answer:
Those are stretch marks. If you’re 14, you’ve probably gone through some growth spurts, right? This is very common during puberty.

Check out the wikipedia article on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_mar…

Don’t worry – you’re not the only one, especially as a growing man.

Getting rid of them is pretty difficult. You might search around the web to see if there are creams/lotions that might help…but for the most part, you will just need to live with them.

But seriously – there’s nothing wrong with you.

Anyone Overweight With Fibroid Tumors Taking Chaste-berry or Using Progesterone Cream To Get Preggo?

Question:
We have been TTC#1 since April with no luck.
I have 3 small Fibroids located outside of my uterine wall and I am also overweight.
(5′5 , 210pd)

I am concerned my Progesterone levels maybe to low to conceive.
When I spoke with my OBGYN he’s only reply was to work on losing weight, maintain a healthy diet, and getting pregnant takes time.
He told me if we didn’t conceive after 1 year of trying he would order blood work with my next annual pap.

My concern is I know getting pregnant can take time but I am 33 going on 34. I don’t really feel I have time to waste.
DP and I have been together for almost 9 years and the only method of BC we ever used was pulling out. In 9 years I have never fallen preggo.
In the past 4 months we have intentionally tried and still no BFP.
The last 2 months we used an OPK, BBT, and CM charting, still BFN.

My cycles are regular every 30 days, and outside of being over weight I don’t have any other health concerns.

My heart is telling me I am not getting preggo because my Progesterone is too low and I won’t get preggo until my hormones are regulated.

After doing some online research I read Chaste-berry or Progesterone cream might help..

And I am starting to get desperate.

I would appreciate any advice… I am hoping to find a more natural approach before seeking the advice of fertility specialist.

Thanks to all… Wishing you tons of extra sticky baby dust!!

Answer:
If your periods are normal then there is a good chance your progesterone is fine. Before you go taking supplements that affect your hormones, get yourself tested. If your doctor won’t test you, you can buy tests online.

Get your sex hormones tested through http://www.zrtlab.com/Page.aspx?nid=12

Also you can test yours and your husband’s fertility through-
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/getting…

Stress can also affect your fertility. Take a holiday and take the pressure off yourselves. And I’ve read many accounts where just losing a few pounds has been enough to help overweight women get pregnant.

P.S Before you get pregnant, make sure your iodine and folate levels are good.

Good luck!

I’m scared, I think I might have cancer!?

Question:
I’m thirteen years old and I have been experiencing pain in the back of my right knee. I didn’t do anything that would cause injury (I haven’t fallen or anything). I do go to camp along with a field hockey clinic so I’ve been participating in a lot of physical activity and running. I’m in good shape and I’m not over weight. It only hurts when I walk or run on my knee. It goes away for a little bit sometimes but the more I walk it come back and hurts more. I have to limp a little to make it stop. What do you think it is and what should I do about it? Is there anything I should be worried about? Thanks…

Answer:
That is no way related to cancer symptoms. Actually it’s quite random you think you have it. If you are athletic it very well could be a pulled muscle or overuse. It happens to many people. Rest it up and put ice on it. If it persists go to the doctor. ;]
