Any Chronic Pain Sufferers Out There?
Hi All - looking for people who suffer from chronic pain, unfortunately. I suffer from migraines. I wake up everyday with one and suffer all day with it. It makes exercising nearly impossible, and the exercises I can do are NOTHING like what "normal" folks can do. I remember what it was like to live normally, but now I…

How to log food you don't cook, and don't know how it was prepared.
Hey guys. I don't know how to log some of my meals. I work in a rehab facility where the residents prepare all the food, and I'm expected to go to meal times and eat with them. The problem is, I don't know how to log certain stuff. I don't know half of the ingredients, so even if I log what I can see, I may be missing oil,…

How would you log this exercise video?
I'm looking for advice on how to log the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHD_keo4hLA I hold 5 pound weights during the entire duration of the video.

Looking for a few close friends who understand the struggles of a lifestyle change and depression
I'm sure many of us on here struggle with depression. I'm currently in a huge funk and I'm looking for some understanding friends who can support me, and who I can support through our journey.

Need Help Estimating Calories
A woman I work with makes amazing Indian food and sometimes she'll make extra and bring me some. She's so sweet and I can't not take it, but if possible, I'd like to estimate what she made so I can make adjustments to my activities and other foods for that day. So far, I know the dish has beef, some onions, carrots and…

Any Climbers Out There That Can Help Me?
Hello friends - I just tried rock climbing today for the first time and loved it! I didn't think I had any strength in me to actually put two feet on the wall, but before I knew it, I was at the top of the 40 foot wall. But, I was also belaying for my friend so I was probably only on the wall for approximately 15 minutes…

Starting over... yet again. Ugh.
Hello Everyone: Like most people on here, I've struggled with my weight over the years. I'm starting over yet again and it feels pretty bad. I started on MFP about 8 months ago and then I had some serious personal troubles and had to give up the gym and I stopped cooking for 4 months. It was a tough thing to give up,…

Do you count cleaning as exercise?
I just spent the last hour cleaning and according to MFP, I burned 232 calories. It kind of feels like cheating to log it, since it's not really exercise. But, I already worked out for 75 minutes today, so it's not like I replaced a real workout with cleaning... Should I log it? Do you?
