Exercising with carpal tunnel?
I am very frustrated. I have had bouts of carpal tunnel and tendonitis in my shoulder, but when I started here with mfp I was feeling pretty good. Then at the end of March I ended up with tendonitis in my left shoulder and it ached and I had trouble if it was unsupported. Since then, my shoulder has improved, but my carpal…

Week 5. Here I come.
So I am headed into week 5 today. I run with a group so the majority of them will be moving on to week 5 day 2, but I was sick with a stomach bug and cold so I did not go on Monday. I am meeting with them today. I plan on doing w5d1, but I am hoping I feel good enough to push towards w5d2.

Not really complaining, just a bummer that they cost so much in calories. What were you bummed out about having to give up or at least be careful of?

Looking for 100 lb or more to go.
I am wondering who else out there needs to lose a significant amount of weight. I need to lose at least 100lbs. I would be happiest if I could lose 115lbs and maintain it. I am in this for the long haul and was hoping there are others out there in the same boat as me. Also, if you have lost a significant amount of weight I…
