Upping calories?
Alright so right now I'm at roughly 1700 calls a day and that's using mfps system of losing 1lb a week. I just got my polar ft4 yesterday and decided to wear if during my 8 hour shift at work. Now, I have a pretty physically demanding job - I work as a resident car aide at an assisted living. The place is 3 floors so I'm…

Spreading out calories?
I tend to have pretty long days. My daughter is usually up by around 7:30am so that's when my day begins. If I'm working, I work 3pm to 11pm plus have a 35ish minute drive home. Usually end up getting home around 11:45. Go to bed about 12:30 or atleast I try to. Days I don't work I usually end up in bed between 9:30-10pm.…

NSV so pumped!!!
Live in massachusetts and today was the first nice day we've had since winter started really. Decided to go to one of the state parks. Ended up on a 16 mile hike/jog (there are some trails through woods and other parts that have been paved over for use). It took me about 4 hours and 10 minutes but I never gave up and was…

Need some friends to keep me motivated!
Alrighty. I've been on MFP before. Used it to get from 175ish to about 155ish. Then I stopped using it for some stupid reason and ballooned back up to 175. I'm serious about losing the weight this time and I've found a new love of hiking/jogging/just being outdoors. Plus at work I'm on my feet for 8 hours and according to…

NSV
I have been on and off MFP for a while. I have recently just discovered a love for hiking/walking/jogging and use the Nike running app on my phone to track myself. I went for a walk today and only set out to walk about 2 miles (I walk about 5 miles a night at work according to my fitbit). I ended up doing 3.25 miles! Took…

On Demand workouts?
Does anybody do the free workouts on On Demand? I just realized I had them, and there are tons of different categories! I'm pretty excited about it. Was just wondering if anybody else used these, if you had a favorite one or something

Tiny NSV (but still awesome)
I was able to use my 5 pound hand weights for 30DS. For some of you I know it's not a big deal. But I've only used 2 lb ones before and I've never thought of myself as strong. My arms are sore. And my gave is too, but that's just from the smile I can't wipe off of it :) haha

2nd shifters?
I work the second shift (3-11) in an alzheimers ward. And though I am supposed to have two fifteen minute and one half hour break, I never eat because When I do I always feel like I get slowed down/bloated/tired. So I usually wait until I get home at about midnight to eat my dinner. I sleep for about seven hours, or…

Measurements
What measurements do you take? I have decided to start doing this for a more realistic sense of what I am losing, just not sure what to measure. I have such a bad relationship with my scale and weigh myself multiple times a day. I just need to get away from that.

Favorite workout video?
Weather around me is too cold to go outside with a one year old and getting a babysitter to go to a gym is too much of a hassle and we got rid of our excersize equipment to make room for baby stuff. But I'm sure my daughter will get a kick out of watching mom jump around and it will help me start to press the importance of…

Urghhh wisdom teeth
I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed today. I'm sad because I can't truly stay with a nutrients diet for a couple days and the meds I'm on will prevent me from safely working out. Good news my mothers really helping me with my 1 year old and I get a whole lot of me time and rest :) Anyone else have wisdom teeth taken…

Hey there =]
My names Michelle, but I go by Shelly. I'm 18, turning 19 in April, and I have struggled with my weight since I was about twelve. I went to a nutritionist for two years after my doctor called me dangerously over weight for my height and age. But by the time I got to high school i stopped going to the nutritionist as I had…
