What's the one Southern food you had to give up?
The list is endless....but I had to give up Biscuits and Gravy. I use to make them at least 2 times a week. Once on the week-end for breakfast...and then 1 night a week for "breakfast for dinner". Now I treat myself 2 or 3 times a year...usually a holiday.

Calorie limit in MFP
So it seems to me that MFP sets everyone's ideal calorie limit at 1200, which is not realistic for the most part. First of all your calorie needs are based on your weight and your activity level. My suggestion to everyone who joins this site is to either google a search for my calorie needs or go the Shape magazines…

If any of you use 5 hour energy or some of those high priced energy drinks and want to…

Any of you fellow nurses feel burned out???? I have only been a nurse for 7 years, and I am starting to feel burned out. I love my job in the OR, but it is taking a toll on my back, and my nurse manager is a micro manager, which is hard to tolerate.

Had a patient with BMI of 90
I am a nurse in the OR...I see overweight patients a lot. In fact I would say most of the patients I see are in the obese catagory. This week I had a patient that weighed 675lbs and had a BMI of 90....it broke my heart. I truly have a heart for patients that are that obese.....I wonder...are they addicted to food (which…

Sweet tooth
So I have a really bad sweet tooth, and notice that if I totally deny myself, then I tend to have days where I binge on calories. So I have been trying to find stuff that is reasonable in calories and not to unhealthy (besides fruit) sometimes fruit don't cut it. So Skinny cow products are my friend. Dove dark chocolate…

Improved my 1/2 marathon time by 7 minutes
I ran a 1/2 marathon in March and my time was 1:54:30. I was not happy about that time. I have never been a big fan of speed work, but after joining a gym to add weights into my workout routine, I decided to give speed work on the treadmill a try. I ran the Country Music 1/2 yesterday and finished in 1:47:12. I couldn't…
