I also have started running and, like you, have trouble taking days off!!! I have several blisters on both feet and I'm also wearing correct shoes (got fitted at a real shoe store). I think it's just the name of the game. I find I'm not as sore and I use to be when I first started several months ago. I'm also trying to…

Neither is totally accurate but it's pretty widely accepted that MFP overestimates.... I'd use what the machine told you.

I have mine open to friends only. I have awesome friends that don't judge in a cruel way. They're super supportive and helpful.

I beg of you to stick with it. For a while I thought my middle name should be plateau. I hit a month long one after losing 10lbs then MORE then a month when I hit a total of 20lbs lost. After that I just stopped weighing in, it got too depressing. I could see and feel the changes happening in my body but I felt like I…

My "scale diet" is OVER!!! And I consider it a success I'm down to 207!!!! From now on I'll be weighing in every two weeks. Great job everyone!!!
-
Of course!!! A very good step...literally!

I posted the following tips on another night shift forum so I'll post them here too! I do things I bit different then the night shift majority. I "pretend" I'm a dayshifter. For example: when I got up up around 1500 I logged breakfast, I ate lunch right before I came into work at 1930, I'll have a snack around 2200 and…

FANTASTIC!!! Congrats on the HEALTHY BMI that is wonderful news!!!!! I am also shooting for every two weeks. I've already instructed hubby to hide the scale!
-
You are GORGEOUS!!!!!! I love love LOVE that dress on you!! The amount of weight you've lost is so inspirational -- keep at it girl!!! You are ROCKING it!!!!
-
Melody - I'm so sorry this didn't turn out well number wise. I guess it's just going to be another test for you to let it roll off your back and keep on going. As said before you accomplished some fantastic NSVs that you should be very proud off. Emily -- HOLY CRAP!!!! You really did work your *kitten* off!!!! FANTASTIC!…

It's not food, but I gave up the scale! Haven't been on at all for the time frame of lent - very excited for tomorrow!! Great job giving up soda - I hear that's pretty difficult!
-
Love this!!! I never thought of it that way!
-
I'm nervous too!! I'm hoping for a 6lbs loss, which would mean slightly less then a 1lb a week average, but as stated before I'll be happy with anything!!! I'll be weighing in around 3p after I wake up. I can't wait to read everyone's post on their weight loss! We worked hard for this! WTG ladies :)
-
WHOA!!!!! THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! Honestly, my stomach just growled looking at it!!! YUM!!!!

Hubby's going away fro the weekend so he took the scale out from hiding tonight. This is going to be a looooong couple of days. Still haven't decided which easter candy treat I'm going to choose... maybe a solid 3 foot tall chocolate bunny... ;) Great job everyone - I can't wait to see those tickers MOVE!!!!
-
One week left!!!! WOOHOO Now, I know this may sound super crazy... but I'm thinking of waiting until the week AFTER easter... I'm going to be right in the middle of PMSing on Sunday and I'm afraid that the number won't reflect the work I put in for the past 6 full weeks! Although, I think I have enough mental strength at…

Hey fellow night shifter --- I copy and post this to any post that I see about nightshift --- just my perspective! If you search "Official Nightshift tread!!!!" There are a bunch of us on there that talk regularly. __________________________________ I always get excited when I see a post titled "night shift" - nice to see…

Oh yes -- I often get jealous by my MFP friends. I'm lucky to lose 1lb a week. I started MFP last september and have logged my food EVERY day since. I haven't been on the scale since the beginning of March but I was 19lbs down.... I hit two plateaus where I didn't lose any weight at all for a month each. My advice... just…

Great, great, great!!! I love eggs... I guess I only make plain jane scrambled eggs so I never think to make them because they're nothing special... so I'm going to look up some recipes. The south beach suggestions were great too, I'd forgotten all about that. I LOVE spinach so I think eggs mixed with cheese and spinach is…

I use to weigh in every morning - then after breakfast - before lunch - after going to the bathroom.... you get the idea. I agree that it was a big motivator and I did start to understand my body better... however, -20lbs down I got stuck in a plateau and by stuck I mean swallowed. This is when the scale turned into my…

I worked at an ice cream shop for 8 years.... after 1 year I couldn't stomach more then a spoonfull or so of it. Hopefully the same will happen to you!! Until then - donate it to a foodshelf or shelter! They'll LOVE you for the fresh baked goodies!
-
Tell me about it!!!! Although, I was in a massive 2 month plateau going into this challenge so I'll take ANY that if its just below 212!!!!
-
Couple hours left until we have just 2 weeks to go!!!!! I'm so excited!!! :)

Good idea with the NSVs. -I can notice a differenc ein my jeans. They are loose for sure. -One of the reasons I knew I needed to change was because my seatbelt clicker thing started to dig into my hip, I remember the very first time I noticed it I looked down to see what was poking me, I then realized I'd just gotten so…

I think everyone is different. I needed this, badly. I had no idea how MUCH of the bad stuff I was eating and how little of the good stuff. Instead of stressing me out it actually does the opposite because I know at the end of the day if I was honest about my logging then I'm allset - everything WILL fall into place.…

Welcome - when I first started I was soooo overwhelmed by calorie counting and how exercise fit in, I didn't how much to exercise or how to make healthy alternatives to the food I love. A bit over 6 months on this site and I feel SO much more confident. My weight is coming off slow, but its still coming off. Yes, I slip up…
-
I've never done either of those but I consider myself "overweight inshape" haha - I agree with the others, depends on the instructor. Mine is CRAZY - there is NO gap inbetween songs and her moves are challenging with lots of fast steps and jumping. I usually burn around 750 calories. I will say give it 3 classes before you…

I tend to be super carb heavy in not only my snacking, but my meals too. I usually have both protein and fat left over - I snack on Turkey Pepperoni - 17 slices is about 70ish calories 4.5g of fat and 10g or protein! Plus since its individual slices it feels like you're eating more! :) I also eat light string cheese, and…

LOVE IT! I just drink the regular breakfast blend - I have several cups a day with some sugar and ff 1/2&1/2. If I'm hungry inbetween meals its my go-to "snack".
