  • WLS is not the easy option. I am 5 years out and I have never regretted it once. Everyone is different and not everyone is on pills their entire life. I take a multi-vitamin daily and thats it. I have my labs drawn every year and I am as healthy as can be. I shattered my leg in the fall of 2010 and because of being…
  • We do the same job! We are limited to 8 hour shifts per our Union. I can't imagine working 12 hours in the same chair, staring at the same monitors for that long.
  • I work the 12-8am shift. I normally wake up around 4pm and have about a 250 calories snack. Eat dinner with my family a couple hours later. I will pack food for work. I normally eat oatmeal, an apple, orange or banana, greek yogurt, 8 ozs of skim milk with a serving of carnation instant bfast no sugar added powder. Then…
  • When I was 8 years old I would ride my bike a mile down the road to a pasture full of horses and lure them to the fence. I would stick a carrot in the fence, climb the fence, and while they were working on the carrot jump on their backs. Needless to say after my parents found out what I was doing they leased me a pony and…
  • I work midnights so I don't have your problem. I get off work at 8am, do chores, run errands and get to bed at 10am. I get up at 4pm and start my day. I have 5 mini meals a day, approx 3 hours a part. 2 are protein shakes, 1 is a fiber bar, the other 2 are a meat/veg/fruit type meal. I will bake or grill chicken breast and…
  • Count me in too! I have been doing level 1 day 1 over again in preperation for during 30 days straight in Feb. I had to reteach jumping jacks and jump rope to my right leg (shattered in 2010), I still can't do one butt kick but I just do more of the other stuff. The muscle burn in my quads and calves were intense but I am…

  • I am 32 and wanting to lose 51lbs total. I was at my heaviest in 2007 at 290 lbs, I dropped down to 179 in 2008, currently 223 lbs. I started MFP on Jan 9th and went from 231 to my current 223. 180 lbs was perfect for my build so that's what I am aiming for. I see you have a horse in your profile pic as well.
  • Nope never had an iron issue. I have heard a lot of people having iron issues though. I am on day 14, and I am kicking myself for not getting back on track sooner. I feel so much better! I ordered 30DS. After having awesome weather till last week I was able to walk and bike around town. Now we have almost a foot of new…

  • Why aren't you exercising with your legs? Do you still have limitations set by PT? I shattered my right leg 15 months ago. I shattered both shafts of my tibia and fibula and shattered my distal tibia. 3 major surgeries resulting in 3 plates and 30 screws. I pretty much do everything but jog/run and stairs, because of my…

  • Thanks for responding! I do have lots of support at home and among my friends. I have never been a couch potato and being laid up with my leg for so long really took it's toll. I am much happier now that I can us it without so much fear! I had a B12 and potassium deficiency in 2007 and have had normal labs every year…
