because I'm working the backshift and trying to stay awake

August so far Me: 6 Binge Monster: 1:ohwell: And I have to say I'm happy with that because I've worked backshift on most of those and didn't give in!!

Oh I'll play too....for me a binge is when I'm too mortified to even attempt to count the calories because I know I've gone WAY too overboard. But I'm trying to be very good, which I suspect might be a challenge since I have a crappy work schedule for August (14 twelve hour shifts in the next 20 days, most of them…

IMO Depends on what you're after.....for me it was a good way to get started since I wouldn't go to a mixed gym. Once I lost some and felt better (and was in better shape) I moved to a regular gym for a more intense workout and didn't have the same time constraints that Curves had. I could tailor my workouts to suit my…

Hey Laksh01982....don't be down on yourself!!! The fact that you're here and working toward something is testament that you have the power to do it. I thought I hated exercise too (I really only started so that I could eat more calories) but what I've discovered is that I do like to exercise (ok, maybe not when the…

Welcome to MFP, it's a great resource to help you on your journey....tracking food does get easier and way less time consuming as you do it more often. I'm a nurse who works shiftwork.....12hr backshift right now as a matter of fact. I find it a challenge to stay within my calorie goal (1400) on nights because I do have…

I"ve lost 52 pounds since the first of the year and I have to say that on Thursday I weighed in at 198.6 making it the first time in 15 years I've been under 200 so it's a huge accomplishment for me. So it's been 5 months and I have to say it's dedication both to accurate calorie counting (I weigh EVERYTHING!! even the…

I noticed that at the gym today too actually. I was on one of the weight machines and it faces a mirror, which has always caused me some angst, but today....today I noticed that my profile was slimmer (not slim, but enough of a difference that I was pumped). It's a great feeling, congrats to you!!

If I had finished reading the posts before asking my question I wouldn't have needed to ask :blushing: Guess my fingers were faster than my brain (again)

So I'm trying to figure out what's the best thing to be doing so that since I'm working at it, I might as well get the most "bang for my buck". If I work out for 45 minutes in the "Fitness Zone" and burn 450 cals, 382 of those are from fat....I can live with that :-) But I also know that if I workout for 45 minutes in the…

I can tell you for me, that temptation is HUGE....I can live without chips but chocolate is my downfall. I have found that the more I exercise the less I NEED chocolate, and I can deal with wanting it as long as the need isn't overwhelming. I also make sure that I set aside some calories at the end of each day for a few…

Well, my daily goal for intake does go up when I add my exercise but if you eat the exercise calories you end up with no deficit and therefore will not lose any weight. It is accepted that to lose one pound you must have a calorie deficit of 3500cals so for example when you exercise and have a 300 cal deficit it would take…
