Long work shifts / weird schedules
Good morning! I have a terrible schedule between work and kids and just can't find time to food prep unfortunately. What are your EASY meal ideas - OR - your choice of food delivery programs. Monday thru Thursday I work til 530 and then immediately take kids to sports and am not home until after 9pm. Fridays I work a…

First race

Juniors vs Ladies Sizing???
I'm curious as to what the conversion is from ladies to juniors clothing? I have a ladies size 12 pants that are falling off me and a juniors size 15 that are fairly snug. So what is the rough conversion of these sizes?

German Food
Going to a German restaurant for dinner tonight. The one we are going to has no nutrition menu so everything is "best guess". Is there anything I can specifically look for that would be lower calories?

Plasma donation while on a calorie deficit
Does anyone here have any experience with donating plasma while on a calorie deficit. I'm just starting my weight loss again but have been donating plasma for quite some time. I normally get a little "off" feeling after donating but I do it in the evening so I can eat supper and then go to bed. However, last night I went…

Went to Warhouse Gym!!!
One of my gifts to myself was to go to Warhouse Gym camp if I kept up on my workouts for a solid 6 months. I managed to do that and spent last Saturday in Leesport, PA getting to meet Dana Linn Bailey, her husband Rob, Jeff Logan (of Logan Performance) and Austin (aka RagzHolla). It was an incredible weekend! I cannot get…

Progress Photos!
I am actually very embarassed to post these but I'm glad I took them. The before photos are rather old, mostly because I took them with the intent of starting a better lifestyle and then immediately stalled out due to divorce/moving/stress. When I went to take before photos this time I realized there was NO CHANGE so…

In progress pic
Seeing as I was wearing one of my favorite shirts today and realized I NEVER allow myself to be photographed in it because I had an awful photo taken in it once I figured I would throw them side by side to show how far I've come. Left is my before at a high of 206, I managed to come down to high 190's for quite a while.…

Working out after Pleurisy
I worked out today for the first "real" time after having a bout of pleurisy about 2 months ago. My lungs officially suck now. When I was moving to a new house last weekend I realized that I was short of breath way too easily and that within a few hours the inflammation was back making breathing extremely painful once…

Hard time with calves...
Just about every exercise cardio wise seems to require me being in a tippy toe kind of position. (Jumping jacks, jogging, jump roping, etc.) The problem is that my main form of exercise since forever has been horse back riding which requires me to keep my heels down and toes up the entire time. I have well muscled calves…

Before and Current (41 lbs down!)
I started MFP around mid-August after a nice long anniversary weekend with my husband. Although the weekend was nothing short of incredible the pictures afterwards were devastating! I stepped on the scale when we arrived home and finally admitted to myself that since my highest weight during pregnancy nearly 18 months…

How to get the meat - without the sodium?
I understand where the sodium comes from in prepackaged items such as pasta, easy to make meals, etc. But where on earth is all the sodium in meat coming from? It kind of makes some sense to me when you're buying it from the store (such as johnsonville stuff, etc) but does it contain less sodium if it comes straight from…

HEY LADIES!!! Hair do help?
My hair is fairly long (halfway down my back) and extremely thick (ugh!!!) despite having getting it thinned regularly it is still VERY thick. I work in an office now and need to keep a "cuter" appearance... if it was my choice I'd wear it up in a ponytail 24/7 lol. Do you guys know of any cute hairstyle for thick, long…

One of my fellow MFP friends turned me onto doing this and it would be interesting to have a few others do it as well! It's pretty much one blog that takes 30 days to finish due to one picture being added every day! If you decide to do it please post the link to your blog here so we can check yours out! My 30 day blog:…

Looking to make something for our work pot luck tomorrow (yea I know, kinda last minute!). I want to make something healthy/low cal since there hardly ever is and me and my one co worker end up not eating anything since we are watching our calories.

At what loss did you realize you were really DOING this?
I can remember joining MFP and everyone having what seemed to be these astonishing numbers on their tickers... I had like 2 lbs lol. Time goes on and I'm at 10 lbs but still feeling like it's nothing and not a big deal... then 20 hit and I was feeling a little better. Now that I'm at nearly 30 it's suddenly hit me that I'm…

Wii vs. Kinect : Which do you prefer?
Wondering what other people (who have used both) think as far as using the Wii vs the Kinect for the Xbox 360? I have found that with the Wii I don't feel any "burn" the next day even after fairly hard/long workouts whereas the Kinect leaves me sore for a couple days when just playing the simple games. What have your…

C25K - 5 days a week?
I was looking into doing the C25K but I can't do it on the weekends at home since I live in the middle of NOWHERE and the only outdoor place is our gravel (currently ice/snow covered) roads. Would it still work okay if I only did it 5 days a week (lunch breaks at work)?
