Just got a Depo shot today...I've been on it for 18 years...no crazy issues and it definitely did not cause my weight gain...putting food in my mouth and not moving did that.

I could be wrong but you will have to enter the info from your Polar FTA into MFP....they don't sync....therefore you can leave your FitBit synced.

Speedtrap here...oh! I mean Johnson. :smile: Feel free to add me. I've been on MFP awhile.

I'm in the speed trap between Fayetteville and Springdale...you know the one :smile: ....according to my doc I should lose about 30 more pounds but I will just have to see. Been trying to workout more with heavier weights. School starts on Monday for us teachers...being back on a schedule will help from grazing all day.…

Keep up the hard work!

Well...hate to say it but when I crave chocolate...I eat chocolate. Ghiridelli Intense Dark Midnight Reverie 86% cacao individually wrapped squares...a serving is 4 squares but one is really enough...well worth the 60 calories, 5.8g of fat and 1.2 g of sugar.

I was asked yesterday to supervise summer school for 10 days starting Monday...I can handle four hours a day for 10 days..plus the extra $ will be good. Our summer school is computer based not "taught"...the students work online...sometimes I will have to answer some math questions but for the most part my job is just…

My high school is reorganizing into small learning communities for next year. There are a lot of bucket-dippers in my school that just think if they dig in their heels nothing will really change. I am not against the change but I did have to change my community this week. I had to leave a community that I helped establish…

I have a Wii and use the Just Dance games and a Zumba game sometimes as my exercise. The dance games are fun and I do them with my daughter. The Zumba game is new and it kicks my butt on the lowest level. They are fun. I wear my HRM while doing these games so I know how many exercise calories to count.

I've been out of town at a workshop...Yesterday, I went to the hotel fitness center to ride the recumbant bike after sitting for six hours in very uncomfortable hotel conference chairs. Today I got up this at 6am...can't sleep in a hotel room...and went back and worked out for nearly an hour. Hated every minute of it but…

Ghirardelli makes chocolate squares with different % of cacoa...i personally like the darker the better 85% cacoa...serving is 4 squares but one will definitely fulfill chocolate cravings. In terms of stress...we are building a new high school around the current building....I have had a jackhammer outside my classroom all…

I was at a restaurant a couple of days ago...the guy at the checkout counter said he liked my outfit. I said thanks and he said he was trying to get his girlfriend to dress more like me, like a teacher. I did not know this person so he had no idea that I was a teacher. What's a "teacher outfit" ? It was kinda funny.

What I hate is that I have to find another bra...I have never fit in the bras that the measurements tell me I need to wear anyway...cup size and construction issues. Since I have started to lose weight the bra has been a real issue. I hate shopping for bras. I believe it is an evil contraption that should not cause me so…

This is our Spring Break in Arkansas...9 more weeks starting Monday. We had four days of grey yucky rain. Today was sunny and it is supposed to be sunny most of next week which means the girls will not have appropriate clothing on. High school math teacher! So looking forward to summer...last year we missed 10+ days due to…

I started taking meds for hypothyroidism a year ago. I also started MFP on the same day. I log my food every day and try to exercise regularly. I have not forbidden any foods but did stop eating soy because my doctor said it interfered with the thyroid. No magic really. Just try to stay within the limits set by the MFP…

Logging food has actually been really addictive....and yes, calculating serving sizes is no sweat. I only wish the mental exercises did as much for me as 30 minutes of Zumba.

An Affair to Remember.....I can cry just thinking of the last 10 minutes. When Cary Grant's character realizes that she is the crippled woman who bought his painting of her with his grandmother. Makes me blubber like Rita Wilson in Sleepless in Seattle explaining this scene. "Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was…

I do about 20 minutes of cardio...then I do weights...legs and arms on alternate days....then I do abs...I keep my HRM on the entire time.

I've been on Depo for 16 years. Love it! Never blamed my weight problems on it...I just didn't eat and exercise well. I started MFP the same week I was placed on thyroid meds...I've not had an issue so far...the weight took time getting on me so it will take time to come off.

Ghirardelli 85% intense dark chocolate individual pieces....serving size is 4 pieces but 1 is enough for me practically everyday
