Argh! Double-posted sorry!

That's still 1 less than you were carrying last week and 1 less that you're going to have to lose! Go with it! :flowerforyou:

I only wash my hair once a week. I was lucky and was spared from puberty hormones making my hair greasy, so I've only ever washed my hair once a week. Besides, it's far too long to wash everyday (My hair goes to my bum). It takes too long to dry! :laugh: I wear a shower cap everytime I'm not washing my hair. After…

Hi! I'm also a middle school science/maths teacher, but in Australia. I'm really slack and not on MFP very much, but there are a few teacher groups on the forums here. I find good support and discussion in this one: Teachers Take Charge http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/350-teachers-take-charge You need a teacher's…

Oops! Haven't been on MFP for a week to log in, because I've been sick, so I'll enter all I've done here now to catch up! Monday 14th October 3.57km Wednesday 16th October 2.08km Friday 18th October 4.37km Monday 21st October 2.7km ETA: Total distance so far 12.72km - definitely have a lot to go...!

Just to be cheeky, what's wrong with your left foot? :wink: I can't offer any real advice here, but the title of this thread intrigued me. Sorry, carry on...

I'm excited to do this too, because I only decided a week ago, that I was going to get into the habit of walking for 20 minutes every day. There surely should be no reason why I can't make time for that! Managed it 7 days out of the last 8 :happy: My distance counts may be a little off when I update it, because I'm metric,…

Hello, I'm looking forward to this challenge, because I only decided about a week ago that I should be able to fit in at least 20 minutes of walking, everyday, no matter how tired or busy I am. Goal: to create a habit to walk at least 20 minutes every day - which for me currently equates to 2km (1.4 mi). I'm sure I can…

Jaymestar had some very good points.:heart: For me, when I was clinically depressed, medication worked wonders! On top of this, my doctor gave me a prescription for exercise. A 45 minute walk can really help to clear your head from those obsessive thoughts, or even help give you a release from all those tears. I also…

Good question, but I think the answer ultimately will come down to some trial and error on your part until you find what works for you. I have a whole lot of trouble eating right before exercising, sometimes even 90minutes before isn't enough for my stomach to digest and clear food, so I will get reflux. On the otherhand,…

Who's going to destroy your for that?! I can't even walk that distance in one go, let alone run it. Go you!! Fantastic work! :bigsmile:

Yes to Combichrist!! I think industrial music works so well for both cardio activities and strength/weightlifting.

Bump. Going to read later. In small chunks. Too many words at once for me otherwise! :)

I lost who said this (sorry!) but: This! Makes a difference, really. Search 'tomato' - get lots of random entries. 'tomatoes' and you find the basic one you are after. It took me a while to get my head around this, but since then, so much more helpful :) Also, weighing into say - I like having measurements per 100g. As an…

Oh Sweets, Can't you see this is a terrible idea? It really is. Mercury fillings are safe. Really. You could have had them changed out if you really wanted to a long time ago. Painful, but possible. You can't possibly have Human body doesn't work like that. Listen, while natural therapy 'doctors' have one approach, they…

First off, congrats on the weight loss and lifestyle change - woohoo! Secondly, I agree with what others have said - those that see you everyday probably aren't able to see those subtle changes happening. However, I wouldn't be surprised if some people have noticed, but don't want to put their foot in it by bringing it up.…

bump, these sound good

These points you've made are exactly the same conversations I have with my mama frequently. I since read in a later post that you are German - my family is Polish - so it makes sense that you have a similar viewpoint. We often discuss why it is I have such a trouble with losing weight or maintaining weight. I was the fat…

Go You! She was way outta line, urgh! I can't stand people touching me either. :angry: I wish I was as good and quick and clever with comebacks. I would have been so icked out by some stranger touching me that I would have lost the ability to construct a coherent sentence. Team you! :drinker:

I'm honestly shocked to hear the number of people who weigh themselves every day. I've always been taught that you have fluctuations daily. So there is absolutely no point in weighing yourself everyday. Once a week can average out any 'high sodium' or 'water weight' days. I take the same approach to my food intake. If one…

Bump I don't work out in a gym, but I used to and I can totally get where everyone is going with these! :laugh:

You asked about freezing your own meals? I'll bet a lot of what you cook can be frozen. - Portion out your food into some form of freezer-safe container (plastic ware, works best). Your container also needs to be microwave safe. Make sure the food has cooled down to room temperature before putting the lid on and placing in…

Another teacher weighing in! I struggled a lot with this my first few years of teaching. It's one of the reasons I gained a lot of weight when I started teaching, because I wasn't eating properly and was working long hours. As someone pointed out above, you work through lunch and grab something (usually unhealthy) to eat…
