    Confession: I just had an hour and a half long conference call with the rest of my company's leadership team and I never stopped posting to the MFP forums.

    I found another confession: I'm not a great cook and I don't know how to put appetizers, main dishes, wine, etc together. The only thing I remember from Home Ec is to make sure there are different colored foods on the plate. (So when I make baked sweet potatoes and carrots in same meal, I feel like a failure.)

    In college, my roommate and I purposely made single-colored plates to keep things interesting. We actually had to work pretty hard at it for some colors! It was a lovely break from homework. :)

    I tried jumping rope the other night. I couldn't get more than three in a row. #thiswhitemancan'tjump

    Why do people schedule so many meetings at work? Don't they know I have to have time to catch up on this thread? So inconsiderate!

    +1 It's like no one cares that I've only spent half my morning in the MFP forums instead of working!

    Agreed...work really gets in the way of my MFP time.

    I have a review coming up in a couple weeks. I'm a little afraid they're going to have noticed how much time I spend on here. I have talked to them about my lack of work a couple times, but I'm sure they'll give me a hard time anyway.

    @ShibaEars‌

    I always wonder if they're monitoring my internet usage...can they do that?? Lol.

    Yes they can and a lot of times do. We just had a social media "sting" where they monitored everyone's (600+ people) social media usage. Results and punishment are still pending...

    I'm not sure what my activity level should be. I work at a desk 5 days out of the week for 9 hours. I weight train 6 days out of the week for 45-60mins and I go for runs or walk the dogs when I can. I am 296lbs and I want to lose 50lbs. Am I sedentary because of my desk job or am I a light active person? Any help or support is welcomed. Thanks.

    I believe that is called mulit-tasking.

    I'm not sure, but you may want to start a new thread so that your question gets read and you'll get more informative responses. Not to dissuade from this thread because this one is all kinds of fun! Just a suggestion.

    I confess that I just redid my profile and got way more enjoyment from it than I should have!

    Yeah, neither can this white girl, sadly. A couple of years ago I foolishly thought it would be a simple, at-home cardio option so I bought a nice, new jump rope. FAIL. I did get the rope turning a couple times and did it for a couple days in a row, which resulted in a sore, swollen ankle. The jump rope has been under my couch ever since. Such an innocent looking thing that is really quite evil!

    Probably best setting your plan to sedentary, then log your workouts and eat back 50-75% of the calories burned.

    Confession: Work just upgraded me from a desktop to a laptop, and I plan to "forget" it in my office over the weekend a whole lot. They don't pay me nearly enough to be on call when I'm not actually on call. Which they also don't pay me enough for.

    My entire family thinks I'm a slow moving disappointment. It took me until age 23 to commit to college; I'm now applying for transfer to complete my bachelor's (est. graduation: June 2018) and will pursue my master's afterwards, though they are unaware. That makes me a bachelor's grad at 28 and a master's grad at 30.

    I've also always been the fat kid in my family. The one with the pretty face. The cute nose. "Suck it in, it's good for your core." "You're getting a little chubby around the middle." "Always hold your head up, double-chins are not attractive."

    I deleted every family member aside from my mother off of Facebook three months ago and I don't talk to any of them and it has been SO LIBERATING not to be JUDGED all the time.

    I'm in this for my health, for my own self-esteem, so I can be a hot mama one day, but honestly .. I can't WAIT until I'm down to 135lbs with my degree in hand so I can tell them all to SUCK IT! :angry:

    I'm trying to make myself jump rope every morning (I used to be a really good jump roper as a girl). I've improved a lot since starting, but am not very consistent with it.

    Fantastic! Good for you for being strong enough to do that and I wish you the best of luck with your degree, your health, and your future. Doesn't matter if it takes a little while to accomplish. The point is you can and will do it.
