I work at a prison and they serve beans 5 if not 6 days a week, now that I am on MFP I know why- huge calories, nutritious and cheap!!

Boil a dozen eggs at a time, two hardboiled eggs a day is 210 calories, buy the tuna packs that you can rip open. Get the pre-made salad packs. Get some Tupperware containers. Do you have any down time at your job? That is a good time to plan out your diet.

I learned how to do squats playing high school and college football, so I always had plenty of people around me to make sure my form was correct. Basically they are uncomfortable and suck. It is what it is. the benefits are noticeable for sure if you do them for 3 months you will look great in a pair of jeans! I would find…

Hey you are motivated, young and pretty- how could you not be in a positive mood? kick *kitten* tomorrow!

There is a place to add exercises. You can research it online and add it.

Are you from Wisconsin?

Good luck! when I read the title of the thread I was thinking "220 pounds would be my dream weight!!"

You will get used to it! Sometimes a pre-workout drink can pump you up. It is normal to feel like that if you are working hard "leave it all at the gym! Try to eat some chicken and broccoli after you work out (within an hour) or drink a protein shake.. I have done this before (unfortunately I gained back 50 of the 70…

OK, I had to really think but I figured it out!!! thanks!!!

OK, you have a nice day! I did read your post I and hope you find the answer to your mystery problem, wish you the best! Basically it is up to you to solve your problems, however.

I work in a mental health setting and the psychiatrists are being pro-active and starting patients who begin to gain weight because of medication on Metformin. Works for some people at least.

Well I can see that snow is in the forecast for the Patriots playoff game on Saturday. We did get about an inch tonight in Mass... When my shift is over at 12 am I will do some lifting, chest and tris

Good luck finding any type of seafood that is not over- fished! Humans are very, very good at fishing.

in 50 years when food is grown in bacterial vats because otherwise the population would starve, will there still be vegetarians? the bacteria will be flavored to simulate any 'food' but will essentially be the same. Just wondering?

Correct, number two was a lie! I would say your lie is #3 1) I have never been to Mexico 2) I am Greek 3) I own a ten speed bike

Number 1 must be a lie! Why wear two bras when you can use duct tape? 1) I like to fish 2) I own a bar 3) I am a Patriots fan

BOP! I have about 32 months left, but who's counting? I was at about 240 pounds 2 years ago. stopped going to the gym, then eventually lost 'some' of my healthy eating habits. Now I am in the 'biggest loser program at work and am looking to go from 288 to 230. One week in 'again' I have a trip booked to Cancun in 3 weeks…

happy

well eating right before you go to bed can cause heartburn, so it is better to eat 30-45 minutes before bed. That is a fact. But whatever you take in has the same weight no matter when.

Hi and welcome!

very motivating! Congrats!

I don't think it matters if you eat before bed or not- as long as you log in what you ate. I work 4-12, so I usually wake up between 9-10, drink coffee. go to the gym 11:30-2-2:30, then I have to rush to get to work. so my down time (lunch is around 5 pm to 6 pm) then I eat something small later in the shift and snack. but…

Hi, I am looking for motivating friends, especially people who work the evening shift and can relate to those hours!

Yikes, I work until 12-12:30 am. so I sometimes see 4:30 am from the other side!! wish me a good nights sleep when you get up, LOL.

Thanks for your response! I have had people telling me 'no dairy' and 'you are not a baby cow' so you don't need milk. I normally do not drink much milk but do like the Greek yogurt. And If I stay under my calories if don't think 1 or 2 yogurts a day will kill me! thanks again!

I would hate to give up Greek yogurt!! From what I am reading there is no conclusive research either way. So I am sticking with it! "Based on results from numerous prospective observational studies and meta-analyses, most, but not all, have shown no association and in some cases an inverse relationship between the intake…

just starting out (again) and would really like some supportive friends!

So what is the name of the Goup?

When it starts you will already be chugging along at full steam! I guess being a little stubborn goes a long ways in this.

I started my fitness trek 4 days ago, joined the 20 pounds by Easter group. Also I am in a group at work 'biggest loser' contest. I used MFP a few years ago and was able to lose 70 pounds. It really helps to keep an honest diet log. It takes time, but is worth it!
