What would you consider my job for activity level?
I work at Red Cross as a Phlebotomist, but we do EVERYTHING ourselves. Here's a run of my average day: Get to work, load the van. We have 10 suitcases to load along with blood boxes each filled with almost 20 pounds of ice. That takes about twenty minutes. Once we load we go to our site, where we unload all of the…

does anyone not document their liquid calories?
I don't mean like soda pop or really high sugar drinks, but I don't find the point in putting in calories for my cranberry juice or Arizona Green Tea....i know I probably should, but do those drinks really make THAT kind of a difference?
-
Does anyone NOT workout and lose weight?
By simply staying under their calorie limit? I'm aware the weight would come off more quickly with exercise, but is anyone mainly sedentary and still successful? (I workout when I can, just haven't recently, and am wondering if I'm screwing myself over.)

Suggestions for a previously broken foot?
This last March I stepped off a curb wrong and fractured my fifth metatarsal. I didn't have insurance so I couldn't follow up with a podiatrist. It healed for the most part but once I started working out it now becomes sore and cramps up. I like to workout barefoot versus sneakers, and I really don't want to start wearing…

Question for the ladies about my period?
For the last four months I've been tracking my period, and its been mostly like clockwork (given a day or two.) My boyfriend and I are sexually active but I had not been on birth control.....he'd just been puling out but we've been fine for nine months. Last week I finally got a birth control prescription (finally got…

Shakeology no bake cookies?
Made Shakeology no bake cookies tonight (the recipe was on the sheet I received with my order.) Although they were pretty good, the mixture was SO dry, almost too dry to mold together.....besides the peanut butter and honey, does anyone have some low fat suggestions to moisten them up?

What are some healthy snacks to munch on during the day?
My job really doesn't allow for a lunch break (the schedule is funny, don't ask) so we're pretty busy all day for anywhere from 8 hours to ten or eleven a day. I like the fact that breaks don't give me enough time to get a fatty snack, but I'd like to start bringing little baggies of something to munch on during the day. I…

Can my job count as a workout??
Question! If I'm on my feet ten hours a day unloading and loading our van with equipment and checking in donors, would any of that count as exercise? (Kinda like a nurse's shift.) I never put anything down as physical activity because I don't know how much I burn, and we do have breaks, but I'm kind curious?? My feet are…

Any remedies for heartburn?
I have always had severe heartburn. It comes with alcohol, orange juice, spicy food, non-spicy food, bread, potatoes, meat, milk, soda, etc.....so, EVERYTHING. I go through tums like candy with no relief.....anyone have something that helps them? I have not been in to the doc yet, because I've been uninsured up until now.…

Same effect if I eat "bad" food but stay under my cal limit?
I find myself still eating fast food on occasion for dinner (or ice cream, sugary snacks, etc.) Yes, I know....eventually I'd like to cut them out completely! However, when I KNOW I'll have a high calorie meal or dessert later on, I eat very lightly during the day so I stay inside my calorie limit. Will weight loss still…

How soon did you see results?
How soon after starting your diet/fitness plans did you notice results, even if the scale wasn't moving much? It's only been two weeks and I already look thinner in the mirror. Is that possible? Also, the jeans that were tight last week are now falling off on ocassion. That also may be because I haven't put them through…
