I'm usually at the gym anywhere between 1-4 am (overnight shifts) and there are usually one or two other people there... but there are plenty of times that I'm there by my self.

Where's my dream job?

22lbs in 15 weeks is amazing! Don't feel discouraged, you're doing great!

I'm 5'2" and am very sedentary at work. 12 hour overnight shifts as a truck dispatcher. I'm losing at the MFP given 1440/day. I did join a gym appx 5 weeks ago, I eat back about 25% of my workout calories.

Making sure you're hydration level is up. I read somewhere that most Americans have thirst cues confused with hunger cues.

Hang in there! Remember why you started your journey, that helps me.

My phone doesn't show the camera button either :(

Awesome job!

I vote for allergy too. They can just develop one day. I've suffered all my life and most of my family didn't have allergies. A couple of them have had the very same thing happen and when we see one another they say I infected them with my allergies. :| I told them it doesn't work that way but they don't believe me

I recently started running and developed a pain on the outside of my hip. I paused the running and got fitted at a running shoe store and got a lot of knowledge dropped on me and walked out with a lot of insight and a pair of pretty purple running shoes to help correct my overpronating and I am so happy I decided to seek…

Wow, some people are so toxic! I'm glad you are able to shrug that sort of behavior off so easily. I hope if I'm ever in a similar situation that I'm able to handle it with as much grace as you displayed here. Thank you for posting this!

MSG is also naturally occurring... Tomato skins for sure ...hang on http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/FoodAdditivesIngredients/ucm328728.htm ETA: Sloth beat me to it :)

Congrats!

Welcome to MFP! ;) These boards have helped me sooo much. I have learned so much from the users here and have gotten a much healthier (physical & mental) approach to my nutrition & well being thanks to these wonderful people! I don't post much and this is my second account, but if I could I would make a thank you post to…

Congrats on the weight loss so far! I used an elliptical for the second time (first time was years and years ago - I used it I felt that my tibialis anterior...thanks google...was going to pop through my skin) last week after developing a pain on the outside of my hip after jogging on the treadmill. About ten minutes into…

RIP GI tract?

And sun screen :)

Cetaphil really helps me (although a quick peep at their website indicates that their gentle skin cleanser does have SLS), plus my skin feels super soft. Does shampoo and toothpaste getting on your face bother you? Most of both of those items contain SLS as well. Also it may sound counterproductive when you have oily skin…

When I read the bold part my mind played out this scenario where one person did consume such a massive amount of fish and red meat that they became endangered and thought, "Thanks Becky!"...thanks for the chuckle ;) But I did read up on creatine last night and decided it wasn't for me, at least the me I currently am (new…

Congrats on the weight loss so far! :) I'm also the only one in the household on a calorie restriction. My SO is one of those lucky people who have never had to worry about weight or dieting...thus far anyway. I am also the only one that cooks so that makes it easier for me to log. He's supportive of me and hasn't brought…

That's a big negative

Ditto!

Ive had mine on for a little over a year and I was really sore for a couple weeks after I initially got them. Most adjustments were better... A couple were almost as bad as the first time but after a shortish time I was able to eat what I was eating before I got the braces (except the no no food list I got)

Back when I played softball I would take the bat in both hands (one hand on each end) and swing my arms up and behind my head and it stretched my pecs and most of my arm muscles and felt grrrrreat...in fact just thinking about it makes me want to grab a broom or something and do it now....I think I will :p

In high school my brother and I went to the movie theater (one screen - it was an overseas military base) and they were playing a movie called Event Horizon. Neither of us seen a preview for it and knew absolutely nothing about it going in. We finished it but boy that movie scarred both of us! It's been almost 20 years and…

Just be careful of overhydration

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

You should start (if you haven't already) tracking your body measurements (waist, hips, thighs, etc). MFP has tracking for those and it's very handy for when the scales don't budge and our minds can't see the difference in the mirrors (but they're there!)

Congrats!

The way I managed to lay off the caffeine was to cold turkey it while I was sick with strep....I was already miserable with severe body aches so what was a withdrawal headache on top of it.
