When I work out my chest and arms, I will be on my 8th rep for example and on my 9th my muscles just stop and basically become useless. Why is this? Should I change my work out or diet?

I am on the combined pill and I am due to start a new pack on Monday but I can't get a docs appointment until Wed and I've ran out. What should I do? When should I start the new pack? I know I should have been to the docs before now but due to work etc I've not been able to. I hang my head in shame

I'm a 5'9, 147lb girl.... Is that fat?? I've lost about 40lbs over the course of the last two years, then I just stopped, i cant loose any more weight, its impossible. I'm trying to loose 10 more lbs for my vacation in the summer... Every time I start a diet, I do very well for a week or two and loose a few lbs, then it spirals downward, and the next week i eat like I've never eaten in my life and gain it all back.... I don't get it?!? advice?

I hurt my back a month ago while on the trampoline. IT was one of those pains where if you got in a certain positon you hurt.

But now it has turned into a constant pain with no signs of stopping. it just gets worse. I cant stand it sometimes, especially carrying lots of books around all day at school.

If you found out you were going to die in one month (from a disease) or you could pay for a new treatment and live for 1 more year. How much would you be willing to pay?

(A frind just found out he will pay $5000 a month for a new drug and it will probably only buy him one year more)

I'm 5'10, and around 135-140 lbs. My diet is horrible, I live off of fast food, candy, chips, and probably up to 3000 calories a day. I'm 17, but as soon as I started trying to eat healthier (eat all-natural foods only, even if I still eat about over 2000 calories), I lost weight. I just lose weight much easier than I gain it, and my mom won't get off my back about it. She sees that I eat the fruits/veggies/soymilk/beans/fish/chicken/dark chocolate she buys, but she thinks I look like a heroin addict because I'm "too skinny". What can I do to prove to her that I'm not anorexic (or on drugs). She's trying to make me eat red meat and milk, but I swore those off since they're not good for you (of course, I still eat all the fish, chicken, eggs, and fortified dairy-replacements I want).

I am used to having a coke bottle shape look, but of course it is slowly fading away, due to staying at home after work and eating:) and never working out, people think i do not need to lose weight, because my clothes make me look slim but in a bikini or tight jeans that cut my darn stomach in half i know my belly is not flat anymore, anyhow I somehow got lucky and won some contest and they want to do a modeling photoshoot on me and i am no way ready to shed off clothes and show a gut that they dont know i have...and i hate these flabby arms...any ideas? I have been eating 2 bowls of special k and wheat bread sandwiches with turkey and ham with no mayo and thats it and water.. i dont eat vegatables like that so its kind of out of the question

I need a positive uplifting movie to keep me going for a few months or my entire life. It has to be very effective and positive. A moviw like the secret or something for someone who is attending college and feels like shiite.

I have just recently been prescribed glasses for the first time.

My prescription is: Right Eye -2.25 -0.75 175
Left Eye Plano -0.75 176

My optician said that I should only where the glasses to help with eye strain now and again, like when I'm watching TV, driving and when I'm working at the computer. (I work at the computer all day in my job.)

Firstly, I don't drive so that rules that out and secondly I cannot wear them at the computer because they make me feel really dizzy and not able to focus clearly on the screen or the keyboard. I think that the reason for this is because they are specificially for distance and not close up.

If I had know this before I bought them I would have thought twice about spending so much money on them for just watching some TV, especially when my left eye is so good.

What do you think?

i'm having pain on my left shoulder blade and shoots up to my neck. lately i also noticed that my left shoulder is lower than my right. When i move my left arm i feel pain on my upper arm down to my elbows. My left arm feels like its tired a lot. It,s been awhile since i played tennis and most of the time i use my right arm. Sometimes the problem pain occurs when i sleep and it helps if i prop my left shoulder with a pillow. My doctor recommend that i see a massage therapist. I don't feel any numbnes but i do get headaches and when i tilt my head back i feel the pain on my left side, neck and shoulder area. will a chiropractor be able to help or do i need to have an x-ray done. i have always been healthy except for migraines now and then....any feed back will be greatly appreciated.

If you got chatting with someone new, male or female, the topic turned to kids and they said their child had ben diagnosed with ADHD what would your first thought be? ('Yeah right! Another naughty kid/bad parent' , 'another doctor trigger happy with ADHD diagnosis' 'I know about this condition, poor you' etc etc. I'm just curious as it seems many people take ADHD very lightly when it is a serious condition that takes test after test, assessment after assessment to properly diagnose. Please answer honestly with the first thing you would think.

I'm going to the beach soon on the weekends with my whole class with all the girls wearing bikinis, and all the guys wearing swim shorts, and I don't want to show my fat thighs with all the hot guys around.
Are there any diet recipes for making my thighs smaller? If so, please type them out OR some exercises I can start out with.
