  • I go to a climbing gym. We'll stare at you while you work on a route, but we'll also yell supportive things and we'll give you a spot if you're bouldering, or belay you if you want to rope climb. I bring newbies all the time, and it's generally a positive experience. :smile:

  • I've been on three cruises, all with family when I was younger. My first was a Disney cruise in the Caribbean, second was Carnival in the Caribbean, and third was Carnival on the Mexican Riviera. Worst part: Being sea sick during a storm. Take Dramamine, and if you get sea sick, walk. You'll feel better than sitting or…

  • I'm a special education teacher. I work with students with severe behaviors and autism. :smile: I'm likely starting a M.Ed. program with an emphasis in educational technology, so maybe one day I'll teach online. Nice to see so many teachers on here!

  • Welcome to MFP and good luck on your journey! As for snacks, fruit and vegetables are a great choices, but I also like trail mixes (esp. with low salt). Just don't eat too much (usually a fourth cup is good). Greek yogurt and granola is another good one. I had to learn to how to cook, too, and really, once you get a few…

  • Hot yoga? Seriously though, I live in dry heat and the humidity is rough when I'm in it. I tried a climbing gym in Florida once, and ugh! All I can say is push through it, drink a lot, and if nothing else, walk. I was in India during the monsoon season and walked A LOT! It's a good workout. Good luck!

  • This. It seems to me MFP tends to take your calories too low though.

  • Glad you got out there and exercised! I find I feel better if I do. I've even gone on day-long climbing trips out in the mountains. I tend to be in more pain if I just sit around.

  • Feel free to add me, my diary is open. I mostly eat the same things though. However, most things I've read on the subject say that it's better to stick to the same things, for the most part. Just as an example... http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/ask-diet-doctor-it-ok-eat-same-thing-every-day I google…

  • It was a combination of things for me. I think there was extra stress at work this school year. Then I got an overuse injury from rock climbing and had to stop for months. I just started back; we'll see how it goes. I think gaining some weight from these two things just sent me in a downward spiral that's taken a while to…

  • Same here. Did it once for Lent a few years ago, so I know I can do it. I don't really feel the need now. Besides, what would I drink with the girls at book club? :laugh:

I tend to let the pounds creep on during the school year. I'm hoping to plan better for this coming year and lose weight. Anyone can feel free to add me,…

  • I'm looking to start a master's program as well. My experience so far in looking for programs has been that the prices range wildly. From what I can tell, I won't need to spend more than $10K though. I have no desire to have any student loans. I need an online program since I work as a teacher and have a kiddo. That's…
