I work in Global Treasury for a major athletic shoe and apparel company. Basically I make sure all the money is going where it needs to be - paying overhead for stores and factories, employee paychecks, athlete royalties, material payment, etc. My job is hard...but the perks are out of this world so I can't complain!

8/10 - they provided closure/good endings for all of the open stories...it was heavily enjoyable, yet I felt that certain characters were very much under-utilized.

Cheap, sticky hairspray. Spray it on the bottoms of your shoes. It'll help until the wood gets the sheen worn off a bit!

Happy Monday everyone! I got into it a little bit a few weeks ago, but like I said, I ended up going through a crazy amount of wild tests at my doctor’s office. I ended up diagnosed with Hyperinsulinism – basically my body was producing insulin inappropriately. Every single time I ate or exerted energy I’d have a blood…

They've been around for a few years, so I guess for a product it might still be considered new. It's tastier than Halo Top for sure. I ate them occasionally over the years when my husband would bring home a new flavor to try, but actually started buying them for myself recently after being diagnosed with an insulin…

We just got gifted Apple Watches at work and I'm hoping to connect with some of you on it! Do any of you use them? I want to start doing some activity contests on it!

My parents were from cultures where you weigh ingredients for recipes, so nobody bats an eye about food scales. My spouse and I both use them religiously - we have a few in our kitchen and both have our own that we keep with us in our vehicles to use at work as well.

I'm struggling. I'm having a really hard time after all my medical appointments and super long and awful tests last week.... So…..wow. I’m in the process of making some massive dietary changes after what they found this last week to be going on with me. After months of weakness and constant exhaustion, and feeling on the…

I drink most nights. I do measure my glasses exactly though so I’m not consuming extra calories. If it doesn’t fit - I don’t drink. But I make sure it does most nights.

I think I'm the outcast on the Iced Coffee/Espresso train haha. Black. If I'm running late and haven't prepped a breakfast I'll mix my vanilla protein powder into my iced coffee, but otherwise I just drink it black. Today was a four-shot of espresso over ice kinda morning (DST with a preschooler is like all of my bad karma…

I'm in the PDX area, how about yourself?

Hey all...the past few weeks of work have been super crazy and I hadn't had much time to catch up on the forums...or workout...or meal prep...or breathe really lol. February and March are huge months where I work because of all of our product launches so sometimes it's just round-the-clock craziness! But I'm in a class for…

Hmmmm are you sick? Do you have a liver or kidney issue? Those organs typically "detox" you 24/7 but if you're having issues with that you should talk to your doc. Or are you referring to like a sugar "cleanse" of sorts? Most of the "detox" products on the market are just re-designed laxatives. Your body does all the…

I love Nike compression and GRRRL Clothing. Both excellent!

Husbands like that are the worst lmao! Kidding but not really. My husband has been trying to GAIN weight for years. He eats about triple what I do in a day and when I'm hormonal or really craving food this makes me hella pissy hahahaha

I went from someone who did 8-12 hours a day of physical work/art and ate like it to fuel my body to someone who was sick and disabled. Added steroids and being bedridden to a mix of still eating like I did before without an understanding of how much more I was eating and bam. Massive weight/fat gain.

Strict doctor's supervision? A DOCTOR is supervising HCG consumption? Is this a real doctor or one of those med spa "doctors" that sell the stuff? Because I can't imagine a real doctor who has gone to medical school supervising such nonsense.

I think it's just a free-thought no-real-rules forum for women of the same age with similar goals to just talk about whatever comes to mine - success, frustration, etc!

Fabric - I want something that wicks away sweat from my body so I don't overheat. Color - I don't care so long as it's comfortable. However I do tend to steer away from lighter colors in bottoms if the fabric doesn't wick sweat well as I'm not a fan of walking around with a visibly sweaty clam!

My guess is she said it's around 11am - so two hours around that time does dip into the lunch hour. Depending on how early her breakfast is, this can get to a time where you're starting to deal with hanger...for me anyway!

Nice!

Please seek medical advice after a medical diagnosis from a medical professional and not the internet. I have RA as well as a few other autoimmune diseases. I follow a varied version of the autoimmune protocol diet (AIP) but varied due to what my doctor and dietitian I was referred to determined. I am an RD as well by…

Can you find like, a one or three month groupon or livingsocial type deal for the LA Fitness? That way you're not locked into anything, it's cheaper and you can use that time frame to determine how feasible that type of commute/membership will be. That way, if you determine after that period of time that it's just too much…

I’ve lost the weight before – then had surgery that took away a lot of use of my leg for a long time. I’ve been trying so hard to just do exactly what I did before that, but couldn’t seem to figure out what I have been doing wrong since…and I just realized that I have been missing a key component since trying and failing…

Hey! Are you in OR? I'm in Portland! Also....I've got that same 40 that's been hanging around about seven years....I gotta get it off!

I did something similar w/weighted russian twists - I ended up dislocating three ribs. I had been on painkillers for a dental surgery, so I didn't realize how bad the pain actually was until I stopped taking them...and I was shocked at how excruciating it was. If it's been bad for this long, and is causing that sort of…

Ahhhhh....my brain went straight to bra sizes and I couldn't get past that lol. What are the abbreviations for family members if yours are far from being dear? My husband and child have not earned such an honor, lol.

Ooooo I feel you here.

I'm thinking I've been away from the MFP forums for too long because I cannot for the life of me figure out what these abbreviations mean...
