A member asked:

If i do an hour or more of cardio everyday, will i slim down eventually without losing weight? or will i slim down and lose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both: As you do more exercise, you burn more calories. If you don't eat more calories, you will lose weight. As you exercise you increase muscle mass. This will make you more "slim".

A member asked:

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
