Anyone with a Desk job?

Stowen_Owen · July 2017

Desk job here, as well, and to make matters even more challenging, they cater in lunch every day of the week. Some of it is healthy, but most of it isn't. The bright side, there is also a gym on the work campus, so the challenget is avoiding the catering and going to the gym. Would love to connect with others that share the desk job problem!

Been at my desk job for more than a year now and in that time I have gained 8 kgs. My previous job required me to be standing for most of the day, so mix my inactivity with eating out more, vending machine breaks and friday night drinks every week with my colleagues... I'm not really surprised.

I have signed up for a gym membership so I can try to go at least 2-3 times a week after work, but I know the changes have to come from my relationship with food and my tendency to binge. I'd love support and motivation from any one of you guys

I also have a desk job and thyroid problems. I don't move much during the day but want to lose 42 pounds with a year to focus on my goal. Summer 2018 is my end goal!
Welcome to add me too! Xx

Desk job during the day! Couch job at night! I struggle to get up; eat lunch at my desk, eat dinner on my couch, and rarely go for a walk (unless going to the bathroom and fridge count...haha).

Gonna try MFP community; fingers crossed!

Sending support your way!!

A fellow desk job here. There are 2 separate places in the office where I conduct my work and one of them I started standing instead of sitting a few weeks ago, I also try to get in 3 laps around the interior of my building throughout the course of the day. Anyone feel free to add me.
