Stand up desk problems
Does anyone use a stand up desk for their desk job? I got mine 11/2012 and was using it at least 5-6 hours a day for most of the year following. Now my right elbow is hurting so much all the time I can barely take it. It seems to be from using my computer mouse. No matter which way I adjust or try to alleviate the strain…

real sugar addiction
I know I'm not the only person who has struggled with this. I just don't know how to stop. Even when I don't like something or it tastes too sweet I eat it anyway. If there's only a few handfuls in the bag I finish them off just so they're not there anymore. I've been logging my food better the past week or so and that…

How do you get rid of unwanted roommates?
So, Long story short we rented out our basement without a formal aggreement because I'm an idiot and I thought that would protect us from any crazy stuff. I thought we would be able to scoot them out if it didn't work out. Well, 1 month later they are smoking cigarettes and pot in the house, neither of which I'm ok with…

10% gone!
I've lost a little over 10% of my body weight. Most of it in the last 3 mos, but I started making small changes last year before I joined MFP. I'm really excited... the milestones keep me motivated and I like seeing the numbers and stats :) A Healthier Heart By losing just 10 percent of your body weight, you can lower your…

Protein doesn't fill me up
Everywhere I look on MFP people are talking about eating protein to stay full, eat less and be healthier. Am I the only person that can eat a ton of protein and still be hungry? Is it something that has to build up or is it just the change in habits that makes you feel more satisfied?

How can I get my Hubby on board?
I've tried everything to try to get my Hubby on board with me to lose weight, eat better and exercise...he just won't budge. I tried talking to him...forbidding him to bring junk food into the house... being patient and hoping he would join in...trying to guilt him into it (not proud of that one). He just won't do it. He's…

Anemia
So, I had some blood tests done a couple weeks ago and they came back showing that I am anemic. I'm still confused about the progression of events here, but I'm guessing that my Dr assumed it was lack of iron. She told me to take iron supplements and that she would add some tests to see what my other vitamin levels are.…

What the heck am I supposed to eat?!
I just walked to the grocery store on my lunch break and picked up a basket full of fruits and veggies... which I love. But I knew it would **TMI alert** "hurt my stomach" if I only ate that, and that I would be hungry all day. I needed some protein and a good carb. I ended up buying a Healthy Choice freezer meal, which…

Question for all you working parents out there
Seriously... how do you find time to exercise? I don't know how to get out of my rut. I know sometimes it's lack of motivation, but most of the time it's truely lack of time. Since joining MFP I have not been brave enough to try to get up earlier than I already do. I am very stiff and sore when I first wake up, so moving a…

Should it hurt when I excersize?
Seriously. I've never walked, run or lifted weights without it hurting somewhere. EVER. Not when I was a kid and took dance lessons and played soccer. Not when I got older and hiked endlessly. Now, even older, and having been sedentary since my oldest child was born (she's almost 13), everything hurts. My joints, my…

Ideas for Beginner excersizes that don't use feet
So I need some ideas. I'm scheduling foot surgery for a bunion on my right foot that impedes the way I walk. I want to get started on losing weight and shaping up though. I can't do much walking. The pain is too much on a daily basis. I go for the occasional walk now and it hurts for days after. I also have a lot of joint…
