Carpel Tunnel
Anyone else suffer from carpel tunnel? It started in my left arm. I didn't realize what it was at first because I dislocated my elbow years back and don't have a full range of motion. I sometimes have nerve pain becuase of this, but nothing horrible. Then the pain started in my right wrist and that's when I knew. I spoke…

When to up weights
I started going to power pump at the gym, and I really enjoy it. I feel comfy in this setting and the lady teaching it is awesome about showing everyone how to lift properly. However, I have no idea when it's time to up my weights. We use "light" and "heavy" which is basically whatever you can do. Right now my light…

I'm a bit torn
My daughter is 8 years old, and part of the reason I started my get fit journey is for my kids. I have wanted to teach them healthy eating habits, I want them to be the type of kis who will ride their bike or throw a ball rather than watch TV. I am finally starting to see some of my hard work paying off in my daughter…

Logging 5K's
I am running in the Dirty Girl Mud Run this weekend which is similar to the tough mudder, just on a much smaller scale. There are obsitcals with running between each course. I ran another 5k earlier this year which was easy to log in my exercise journal since it was straight running (or in my case jogging). I know that…

(not so) helpful advice
My local radio station played a game this morning and it was hilarious! I wanted to see how creative you all were! Basically, the caller came up with a scenario they needed an answer to and the DJ's gave them funny/bogus advice. So, Give advice to the person above you, then state your problem for the next person. Here's my…

Off Again
I am needing some "get back on" motivation. I am very on again off again in my weight loss/getting fit. A little quick about me.... Single mom of 2, no family around. My daughter is from a marriage (we are still friends) that was built on nothing so it ended in nothing. He is remarried and we work really well together when…

HRM and Calories Burned
I picked up a HRM today and so far I love it! My question is this. I have a workout mode that records my heart rate and calories burned while I am exercising, but it also gives me a daily total for calories burned. When I enter in my cardio for the day, do I include the calories burned in a separate entry? For example, I…

Sugar
I have heard time and time again that sugar is not good for you. Obviously that would be sweet stuff, candy, soda, etc. However. fruit has a TON of sugar. I always end up pretty high in my sugar content over the day and what ends up sending me over is the fruit I eat. I also know that MFP is not an exact science but how am…

Darn you Wii Fit!
I bought a Wii Fit the other day and was so exicted to start using it....until I stepped on to the thing. It went through it's whole body scan thing, mesured my center of gravity, asked me if I trip when I walk.......how does it know me so well? Then it gave me my Wii Fit age. Now, before I offend anyone I don't think that…

Roll Over
This may be an obvious question but I am really curious...... You have a set amount of calories you want to hit every day. If you go over one day and are under the next do the calories from your over day roll over? I understand that it's not as simple as this, and I'm not exactly sure how to ask this, so hopefully you get…

Dirty Girl
No, not me....the mud run I'm joining with my best friend (now slap you're naughty minds!) Seriously excited for this mud run, but I am terrified I am going to fail. I'm new here, but not new to weight loss and it's struggles. Where to start...... Through college I was very fit and trim. Then I started having babies.…
