Knee stability
I talked to PT at work today because I'm concerned with blowing out my knee doing exercises since it is so weak and unstable. They suggested a brace for stability and of course to continue strengthening my core. Any suggestions on braces? My weak point is that tendon along the side. Does anyone else have issues w/ knees?…

Is it just me or does it seem like a perfectly good waste of 100-150kcal (more if you add milk) to drink protein powder. Not only that but most taste like a** in a bag. I've got a 5lb bag of whey powder in my desk and I only drink it if I'm desperate. Wouldn't it be better to spend your calories on a nice hard boiled egg,…

Why do you love or hate your FitBit?
Looking at the FitBit, but all I'm seeing is a glorified pedometer. Why is it so fabulous? Why do I hear other MFP'ers talking about it all the time?

Probably a TMI question but here goes...
Has anyone experienced a slowing down of the ol' digestive track since losing weight? And what did you do to get the system running again? I've done the fiber supplements, I drink 150oz of water a day, I'm doing more fruits and veggeis, and have even resorted to laxative but its still "NO" go. Sorry for the TMI question.

What do you do when temptation strikes?
So what are your strategies or tools that you use when temptation strikes. How do you resist when a well meaning individual offers you food out of the blue that is not planned or expected? How do you listen to the rational side and silince the impulsive "I want it now, it taste good" side?
