just wanna ask a question to anyone that visits this thread. do any of you know how to put up a picture so that is displayed as a picture, not as a link?

Wish I could answer some of your nursing questions. I don't start class till the 28th. :wink2: As far as adding pictures you should be able to do so by using a hosting site like www.photobucket.com Upload your picture to the site and copy and paste the IMG Code.

A personal problem....lol

Hey guys, so I live in Michigan and the weather is starting to chill down a little over here. That's not the problem that I'm going to share. I have a friend name Jason. The funniest person on the planet. He's been on the American Idol twice and acted for two indie movies that weren't opened in theaters, just on DVDs. Anyways, one of the characteristics that he has catches peoples eyes alot which is his 400-lb-body. Yes, he is fat. And I can say that because he is one of my good friends. Anyways, this kid called me today with a little surprise. He has never opened up to me with serious tone of voice like this in a long time but he said that he needs help. Big time, with his weight. He told me that because of his health, his starts the day out with pain and the day ends with pain. Internal organ pain....which is real scary, and all sorts of joint pains, which prevent him from motivating himself to even work out. Well, I've been known to be the workout freak around this area since those high school years. I just like to keep myself in shape, too much in a way that sometimes people call me crazy. I'm confident in myself with knowledge that I have of healthy nutrition and many workout routines, i always have been. but when jason kind of opened up himself to me tonight, i was at a dead end....i didn't even know where to start with this guy. Jason's heart races to the top after 5 to 10 min of walking, his laziness leads to snacking and sleeping, and at the end of the day, he will just be keep gaining weight. I want to help him and I think that if this works out okay, it would bring not only to him but to me, great amount of satisfaction. The problem is I don't know where to begin.....He's not ready to begin the type of diet that I had to train myself over a year to get used to....Nursing experts, let's save Jason....what do we got? workout routines for fat people, diet for fat people...and so on...just bring em
