  • I just recently did the same thing to my knee while dancing. :/ I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it was about a month and a half before my knee was almost back to normal and I'm still not 100% back! I had to take a week off work to rest and ice my knee (doctor's orders) and then once I started back to work I had…
  • How fun! I thinkThat MFP has been one of the best things to happen to me, EVER! I knowThat I have the best family and friends anyone could ask for. Such a great support system. I wantTo reach my goal weight by the end of my TurboFire session, and to go to Seattle next July! :) I lovethat so many people in my life do…
  • I work nights 7p-7a so I definitely feel your pain! I also work with some other nurses on the same shift who use MFP but do things a little differently than I do.

  • I am in the middle of my third week! I started July 1st! 4.5 inches and 5.6 pounds off so far! I am LOVING it!
  • I work 12 hour shifts as well and I totally understand where you are coming from! I plan the day ahead. I make a larger dinner so I can take a portion with me. Take fresh fruits and veggies to snack on and then a couple of other snack foods like greek yogurt or hummus and pretzel chips. I like canned tuna or small salads…
  • I work nights and count my calories from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I try to fit in my workouts once I get home, but sometimes it messes with my sleep. I am WIRED after I workout. Since I work three 12 hour shifts a week I have four days off which is nice to really hit my workouts hard, but I have not had…
