I would never tattoo my significant other's name on myself...Thought about it once, and am so glad I ddin't. Symbols are great, but like others have said tattoos are permanent...not people. I did get a Celtic cross with my grandfather's initials on my arm as he meant the world to me. The only other names on my tattoos are…

Thanks! Makes me feel better. I will definitly look into adding a protien shake, I will have to find some recipies. I think if I ate a better breakfast thatou would help. I love living literally within a National park, I have so many things to do outdoors all year around, the hiking is my favorite

Me...2 years now...finally ready to settle down again though

I will look at doing some of those, of course after I can move my shoulder again, thank you so much. I have stopped with the PT, haven't done it since I moved out here...I didn't feel that it was doing anything for me, granted I stopped with my workouts at this time...I generally can do most moves with it, just not any…

I haven't done the PT in a while, it really didn't seem to be helping them either way, and I guess in my mind it wasn't going to fix it, it'll still be separated

Thank you for sharing that, I have been having minor freak outs, the scale is not moving downward, and on average days off I am burrning between 600-700 calories, the scale went up 3 pounds and hasn't moved. I will ensure I eat them back.

You look great, keep up the hard work

Nice to meet you, I find myself in a similiar boat, I came back ofter a long sabitical and have a few very loyal friends, but many I haven't heard from, we're all here to help one another out...sending a friend request

Hi, nice to meet you! I haven't been at it that long either but find myself also being less motivated....IFeel free to add me, we could all use support

Hi! As you will find, many of us on here have struggled with the wonderful thing of weight loss. I can admit, I have lost that struggle everytime. I start to make progress, some little traumatic thing happens, life changes and boom fall off the wagon again and again. The problem I have found with diets is that you have to…

I told myself this afternoon when I got up that I should do a quick work out, but told myself no, I had all intentions of using the gym tonight, that was until, I forgot my lunch and have a snall salad to get me throught the night.....I don't think I have even come close to 1200.

Thank you all. I have decided that working out tonight will not be in my best interest, as I don't want to starve myself. I will get some protien shakes and make sure I bring them with me, I am sure that will help

I generally do too. For some reason on graves I only seem to eat twice, when I wake up, and then towards the middle/end of my shift, and an occasional snack here and there. I don't know what the difference is, maybe because I go home and go straight to bed, where is when I am on day shift I come home dink around a little…

So my dilema is kind of the opposite, I am on a night shift, right now I can say I am liking it. But I find myself getting up more during the middle of the day and wanting to eat something, anything. I just want to grab something quick, and go right back to bed. I seem to get up every couple hours or so. Part of it is the…

Thanks that would be great, I try to do better I think when I start working nights again things will be better...less opportunities to go out to eat

You are doing great!!! Keep it up and the rest will come with time. You look great as well. I personally have had a huge setback in my weightloss. Personally I am amazed I have dropped as much as I have with my setback. So keep up the good work, you will get there and before you know it, you will have lost it

I have yet to do that video, when doing her 30 day shred level 2 with my hrm I burn 300-400 calories. I plan to try it tomorrow, i will let you know

I hope that you get over the cold rapidly. I currently and fighting a cough and a bit of a cold, makes it hard to work out, everytime I do my cough gets worse. I would try some emergen-c. I love that stuff! And continue eating healthy, and get plenty of sleep, when your body sleeps it heals itself.

Thanks for posting this! It was great information on how the body looses

Kate, welcome. Glad you joined, this site is great for finding answers and getting motivation from friends from all over in the world. I am sorry about feeling sick to your stomach. I have learned that you should eat about 6 times a day. Doing this keeps your metabolism running, when your metabolism slows down your body…

I put it under circut training, and change my calories according to the HRM. I generally do it three days a week, the rest of the week I do the eliptical or other workouts. I recently got her 6 pack abs and plan on trying that here soon

welcome to the site! I have found MFP to be the most helpful with motivation and keeping a food and exercise diary. It shows me how many calories i've consumed, burned and how much I need to catch up...I can understand the busy schedules it is the hardest thing. I work nights on the weekdays and go back to a normal…

I agree with everyone. Have you been eating the calories you are allowed a day. And when you work out be sure to eat back the calories you have burned. I was at a stand still for quite some time, and then began eating back what I had burned, becuase I woulnd't have have began loosing agian

Try Jennie-O or Oscar Meyer. I prefer the Oscar meyer

Awesome. Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for breakfast ideas. I will surely use this.

Welcome, I love the support here, its gave me courage to start this...add me if you would like

Hi! Welcome to the site. I have found a lot of great support on this site and have done well. We are all here for one another. Feel free to add me if you would like

No. exercise does not cause this, I had some for the first time about a year ago, and omg they were the most painful thing... the worst part about them was that most got passed while I was at work on a graveyard shift alone. I thought I was gonna die the next morning. When i went to the Dr. he told me they though that too…

Hi. So first I must say I am glad that you have sat down and thought this through. May I suggest adopting a puppy from a shelter. Shelter dogs are the best. Anyway. My ex and I adopted a dog in March of 07. Both he and I worked full time jobs and I went to school. Most of the time with my rotating schedules someone was…
