LOL on the "Go Lytely" boat! I am an NP (In a hospital) and I saw a patient who had a colonoscopy the day before.....he told me "when they came in with that HUGE bottle of stuff to drink I thought I was getting punked! I kept looking around for the cameras, like are you serious??" Old people are funny! :)

Oops, just saw the injury was Saturday.......ice probably isn't going to help much at this point, but elevation is still beneficial.

I am a nurse practioner not an MD but close enough? There are different degree of strains, and it would be beneficial to get it checked out. I would ice it 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day for the first 48 hours after the strain........elevated it (above your heart) 3-4 times a day if you can (I know, we have jobs! but…

I am a nurse, and also did travel nursing in California, virginia and Wisconsin. I don't have a child so don't exactly know the childcare options. But I know all but one of the hospitals I worked at as a traveler and a regular staff nurse (when I wasn't a traveler) didn't have child care on site. I would advise you to talk…

Way to go! Love it!

I'm with you on this......burpees are my enemy! And I have never done them with push ups. I did discover a great thing that has helped me with them. I couldn't do them well because my stomach was in the way when I squated- but I do what my trainer called a "military burpee" where my legs are apart more (and not pressing…

Great feed back everyone! And I'm glad to know there are people out there happily married that don't agree on money all the time. Sometimes I forget that you can still "agree to diseagree" and either separate accounts, or one person do it all.

Yeah, we had been using YNAB also and love it. Just had a hard time keeping up with it. It was sort of tedious to input transactions and I've fallen away from it. Of course it might not be so tedious if I also give up my check register so I'm not double entering! I love the envelope system concept.....

Do you have to manually enter, or does it import some how?

Can you explain this a little, you save money by taking the money out of each paycheck to pay for monthly bills? What do you mean? I mean any chance for me to save money is great!! :)

Thanks everyone for the responses! Looks like I should climb out of my cave and maybe give it up! I like the idea of an excel spreadsheet, but don't know if I could maintain it. Thanks for the tips, my boyfriend will be glad to hear he won this debate! lol

I love these zucchini chips- pretty easy to make and I feel like they're a treat, like potato chips! http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/zucchini-oven-chips-10000001087041/ I saute spinach with olive oil and garlic, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top and they're yummy sliced cucumbers with hummus Do you eat smoothies? I…

Passing up the brownie cookie that I love so much at work. My boyfriend came up behind me and checked the tag on my tshirt- we have the same tshirt and he thought it was his because it looked so big on me!

I track my fiber too- I just think it's important to have enough fiber, and since it decreases your available carbs I like to know that in relation to carb intake (I'm not a strict low carber, but really want to minimize carbs and keep them healthy).

I like the muscle milk whey protein, get it at Costco or Sams. 28 gm of protein. I mix it with a small amount of almond milk, greek yogurt, kale and fruit for a smoothie.

I had sudden paralysis of my left hand that lead to evaluation, but in retrospect was also having left leg weakness (thought it was from an old accident), and balance problems. I had an MRI which showed 2 lesions, and a spinal tap to confirm it. ANd like others, I had previous symptoms that subsided but I never connected…

I think it depends also on what you wear. If you still wear the clothes you wear when you were heavy, they will be loose and people might notice sooner. If you continually "downsize" your clothes to where they fit well I think it's harder to tell. Because you may not ever have the "too big" look. Does that make sense? I…

I dream of a 2 hook future! I am currently on the four hook with an extender plan! :). One more thing to add to the "what I'm looking forward to when I lose weight list."

Looking at what you eat, I would try to anchor your carbs with some protein. the protein will cause the carbs to get metabolized slower and won't cause a spike in insulin that causes hunger/low energy a few hours later. I would also eat more! you're probably not fueling yourself enough. Burning 500 calories so early means…

I Just started working out in the morning (last week, only have done it twice). I am SO NOT A MORNING PERSON! So glad you posted this! What are you eating? I find if I eat only carbs the same thing happens to me. Like bagel or cereal or something. I have to have both protein and carbs and it's much better (egg and toast,…

I have tried WW a few times, knowing it's a pretty good sound program. I agree with what someone said about hating the meetings. They weren't motivating to me at all, and didn't really push me to do better. I couldn't relate to hardly anyone in the room. So if you decide to do it, I encourage you to try bunches of meetings…

Thanks for all the advice! I forgot to mention, I have to get up for work at 5:30, so when I say "get up early" it's 4:45 or so. I like the idea of starting with 10 minutes early, then gradually increasing it to more (at least 30!). It's so early, I would workout at home so maybe I can find a "text message" accountability…

BUMP, to get the exrx.net site later! Awesome site!

That's so funny you say that......I made a batch too and they were terrible! Not even edible! I hope to find a different recipes that is good eventually

BUMP

No belts in my classes either, sorry I can't help you!

Question for BMF users- today I only wore mine for 3 hours then had to take it off for the day. Tonight when I put it on at 6 pm, it said I had burned 2000 calories. Why did it say so much when I only wore it for 3 hours? Does it record your basal metabolic rate burn even if you're not wearing it? It only recorded 900…
