Treadmill Desk
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with using a walking treadmill while working? My company just switched me to working from home full time and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to start upping my movement. We got a treadmill and a treadmill desk and I walked yesterday for 4.5 hours between 1.1-1.6…

Calories burned while walking on the treadmill
I've been walking on my treadmill while working (not to lose weight, but because I can't stand to sit all day long) and I usually wear my heart rate monitor and strap to calculate my steps/HR/cals burned. There are days when I walk up to 4 hrs and my watch says I burn 1000+ calories. I'm just not sure if I believe that. Is…

Love the theory but still confused...would love some help
Hi all! So I've been on/off MFP for about a year, I haven't had hardly any success (much of which I attribute to the birth control/hormone problems I've had-you can read my profile for more info) but I also think I haven't been doing things the right way like eating too few calories or eating too many. Then I found this…

Conflicting Information and being overwhelmed
Does anyone else get that overwhelming sense of dread when you make the decision to lose weight and get healthier? I love MFP, but sometimes when I'm on here, I get so overwhelmed with the amount of information on here. Eat this.. don't eat this... restrict this...don't restrict that. Part of my problem is that I'm easily…

Good vs Bad Carbs and how to keep track
Hi all! I've been doing the Advocare 24 Day Challenge and while I love it, all the material that comes with the program says anything over 30 grams of Carbs is BAD. Yet, 80% of the healthy foods (some fruit, salads, some veggies) have carbs in them and I'm finding it hard to stay under 30 grams. I'm not eating any of the…

How to lose weight on Birth Control that causes weight gain
Hi everyone! I'm back on this forum because I can NOT take the weight gain any longer! I was on Depo-Provera for about 6 years with a 35 lb weight increase. About two years ago, I was able to lose 22 lbs by training for a 5k. After that I hit a plateau and could not lose any weight no matter what I did. I changed calorie…

Depo Shot and struggling weight loss
I'm fairly new here, so I'm not sure if anyone else has posted on this topic before. My biggest struggle right now is that I've been on the Depo-Provera shot for over 5 years. It is notorious for weight gain and prevents weight loss. I have switched and tried other birth controls but most of them caused me severe side…
