Hand swelling-should I worry?
About 2 weeks ago, at work I has holding something rather heavy in an awkward position in my right arm for about 3-4 hours.

Fitness Tracker options?
Who uses a fitness tracker? What do you have and how do you like it? Currently using the Fitbit clip, but I miss having continuous heart rate readings and sleep tracking.

I followed the diet plan and just did the exercise they directed me to do. This time I'm logging it, and even though the diet says I should be taking in 1400 a day, I'm…

All aboard the yo-yo train!
Greetings, all! When I moved away from home for the first time and into grad school, I dropped 14 pounds. After volunteering myself into a diet/exercise research study to be scanned and poked and measured and weighed, I lost 21 more pounds. Then, I started writing my thesis, and all activity outside of studies was lost.…
