I work 7p-7a 3 nights a week and was doing the midnight to midnight as well. I found I was having trouble with keeping a healthy day to day calorie count when switching back to normal. I just changed my meal times to a 6am -6am to see if that helps. It's a little annoying to have to back up a day when logging after…

I do on occasion, but if I go over one day I have six other days to balance it out.

I'm also a night shift nurse and changed my diary from the default to the 0000-0400 time frame. I count from midnight to midnight to account for the days I'm on and off. I do find I have trouble though meeting my calories for my first shift on (I only work 3 days a week) since I'm asleep part of that day.

I'm 5'7", currently at 170, starting at 182. Was squeeeeeezed into a size 12 jean (my own vanity refused to let me buy 14's so I just wore sweats) and a large shirt. I'm comfortably in my 12's now. At my lightest I was 150 and in size 8 jeans and small tops. I'm rocking a sweet booty and no boobs to speak of.

I'm reading this as the five hershey kisses my attending left me before she left for the night are 6 inches away from my right hand. Each kiss is only 22 calories and my water is so blah. I'm just going to stare at them while I think of how many minutes i have to walk with my dog (who is an *kitten* on the leash FYI) to…

I'm getting married October 11, 2014. I already bought my dress, but needed a size 14. I'm a pretty big girl even when i was in shape. The lightest I've ever been was 150 and a size 8 jeans. Right now I'm rocking a size 12 pant. I'm really just looking to tone up. I'm never gonna be a size 2, but maybe just a size 10? with…

My eczema is pretty bad too. The backs of my knees look like I've taken a cheese grater to them in the summer. I have found physical and emotional stress will trigger flares as well as my seasonal allergies. Sweating doesn't help either. I have heard that trying elimination diets will help as eczema can be a sign of a food…

When I first had my son the stretch marks on my breasts were so bad they actually looked painful. I t was like someone took a purple crayon and scribbled all over them. 11years later you can hardly tell they are there. The same with the ones on my hips. Although I was 20 when I had them so youth may play a role.

Looking at your Fat Michael I would never believe how old you are. Looking at thin Mike? Inspirational.

Yesterday was day 1 of P90x. Ive' been doing MFP for just under a year. I lost a little over 11 lbs initially but have not had any movement (aside from normal weight flux) since the new year. I'm hoping doing some outside of my box will help. According to team beach body I should be eating 2400 calories. Im 5'7" and…

Nike Training Club... Free app, super large. There are 15 minute, 30 minute and 45 minute workouts. I have yet to do one that didn't kick my butt and make me sweat. I swear by it and recommend it to every one.

I'm a closer to 5'8" then 5"7 and have never been smaller than a size 8 even when I was a varsity swimmer in college. I started at 180, currently at 165 and trying for 145. But realistically 150ish is probably good.

I used chantix and started running. You can't be a runner and a smoker. It just does not work. I've been a non-smoker since Halloween. I think a mistake a lot of people make is thinking one cigarette is a total relapse. It's not. Forgive yourself and toss the pack you bought.

I will never be a size 2. I got no chest to speak of, quite a bit of booty that was there even at my skinniest (135, I weigh 166 right now), and hips that were made for shaking and birthing babies. At this point in my life all I want is to be able to slip into a pair of size 8 jeans without difficulty and not have my legs…

I personally like them... much better than power bars. I'm a night shift nurse so a lot of times I'm waking up and eating in the car on the way to work where I may not get a chance to eat for several hours. They keep me pretty full for a long time.

My coworkers and I are doing the one in PA in April. We're super excited!!

this sounds yummy and easy. Do you know what the calories per serving are?

I use RunTraining, it's kinda like the couch to 5K but includes training programs for 10K, half and whole marathon.

Philly AIDS walk, Oct 15th. My family does it every year in memoriam for my uncle who passed in 1988. It's 8.3 miles and this year my dad and I are planning on running. I'm skeptical tho. A)I'm not a runner. B)I've slacked off in the running the past few weeks C) I just quit smoking in the past 2 weeks and I have this…

On a day when I have several hours, I'll go to a local farmer's market, buy a bunch of different veggies, cook them up and freeze them. I also cook a lot of soups and chilis and freeze them as well. I have a deep freezer so it's pretty easy for me.

I've been a slacker the past 2 weeks. :( I've had no changes in my weight or measurements. I've worked out several times but haven't been consistent nor have I've been counting like a good girl. My one small NSV tho is I've started chantix and at 7 hours into my shift at a busy ER in a very urban setting, I have had not…

I've been using the NuvaRing for a couple years now. I apologize in advanced for the TMI but I pretty much have stopped getting a period about 7-8 months ago which coincides with a 10 lb weight gain. I also have been having a lot of trouble losing weight despite being pretty controlled with my calories. However I have lost…

I do my measurements every two weeks and weight once a month. I am a little obsessive and get on the scal almost daily but limit how often I record a weight.

Repost can't see the pic.... Congrats and good luck!!!
