Stick with the cardio/weights. You may have lost body fat and gained muscle, which you need to support your fitness program and to rev up your metabolism! Hang in there because it is really worth it.

Hi Justin, Congratulations for your efforts so far. Hang in there.

i'm going to try that! Thanks..

HI! Fitness is extremely important but a fitness program can be really tough on your joints, tendons and ligaments if you aren't used to high levels of exercise. You can do an amazing amount of stuff in a pool before doing out-of-pool programs. You can build muscle strength and stretch and improve ligament and joint…

30% carbs sounds like Atkins Diet. I read the book (Atkins Diet) ten or fifteen years ago and I knew right away that I couldn't follow it strictly because it just didn't seem like a good idea to deprive myself of vegetables and fruit, even for a limited time.

Pedometer done twenty years ago! A mile is still a mile even after so much time. Nursing is far from easy and light. I really hope that MFP didn't intend to imply that. I really just think that they are not informed.

You go girl!!:happy:

I think MFP and message board members appreciate feedback though. When Nurses are audited by time management consultants we are consistently rated at a higher level of activity and productivity than we are classified (paid) for. Most of understanding health and worth is having the correct perspective. Most nurses work in…

P.S. Nurses often eat for energy just to keep going for the whole shift. It is easy to 'overdo' because snacks have to be taken on the run and need to provide high energy. We eat what we are hungry for, which is carbs and they need to be handy........ muffins, to-go foods....(:
