Mildly depressed...making it hard to work out efficiently
I have been super stressed out this week due to my dad falling ill recently. He has been suffering with heart disease and while he has been doing great the past 2 years, it has started to 'act up' again and he is (again) in and out of the hospital. As an only child, I care deeply about my parents and hate to see either of…

Injuries... Can do without them!!
So... I have been denying, for the past 2 weeks, that I have an injury.

I have this pinching pain above my right butt cheek... that zaps down my right leg and then zings…

Hello all. I am pregnant with my second child and I do not want to gain as much weight as I did with my first. I was not paying attention to what I was eating and ended up gaining 50 lbs.

Frustrated with myself.
I weighed myself Friday and then again this morning and I've gained exactly 1 pound. I had been losing about .3 of a pound every day since beginning, and I am so disappointed to see the scale rise--I thought for sure I would have lost *something* over the weekend. I consumed more calories than usual on Saturday, but I was…
