Confused on night shift!
I am getting so lost with how to factor in my meals. I’m 9m on night shift and it hasn’t gotten easier. So I work at 645p and I get off at work at 715a 3x a week. On my first shift of the week I am awake all day (up at 7a with the kids) and all night, and my last shift I sleep after work and then go back to sleep normal…

What happened?!
I had something happen yesterday that in the past has derailed me and I would like to prevent that...I am confused at what is happening to my body. I'll keep it as brief as I can. I'm 29, 5'6 and I weigh approx 163 (no scale). I'm at home with the kids and when I wear my fitbit everyday I can predictably get about 6-7k…

How do I log this? (beef)
I'm making a top round roast in the rock pot today with just some seasonings on it. There's no nutrition on the package (Aldi) and when I find comparable its for 4oz raw. As I am cooking a whole roast together it doesn't make sent to cut it up raw into portions and cook that way (I don't want to eat hockey pucks lol). How…

Moms, how do you fit in a workout?!
I truly am in awe of moms that can do this. I would love some tips! I have a 2.5yr old boy and a 7wk old daughter. I am also in a full-time online BSN program that is very demanding and I need to maintain straight A's to get priority placement into grad school. I'm a stay home mom right now to focus on school (only working…

Pregnant MFP-ers?
I recently discovered I am pregnant with baby #2. With baby #1 I only wanted mcgriddles, chocolate, frostys and potato salad...and I didn't want to stay active and I put on 50lbs. I started this pregnancy 13 pounds heavier and started officially at an overweight BMI of about 26. l have been making changes to eat better as…

Does anyone not buy "lower-calorie" options?
I hope this topic hasn't been done to death. In my teen years my mom was on WW and everything we ate was a low-cal, fat free, sugar free version, and since I myself had an eating disorder, I carried this mentality into my college and early 20's years. Since recovery, I have been trying to maintain a healthy weight and…

Afraid to lose? Am I alone?
I don't know what my problem is. I have been gaining and losing the same few pounds for 6-8 months. I KNOW why I don't keep losing, that isn't the issue. I do really well until I have a weigh-in where I am actually making progress (beyond losing from a recent gain) and on that day I will find myself grabbing snacks…

Calorie deficit and cardio, or maintenance with heavy lifting?
Forgive me if this is asked all the time. Up until 2 years ago my only mental frame of diet/exercise involved not eating or purging, so I will admit I know very very little about lifting and strength training I am about 155 pounds currently. I would say I am comparable to the way my body was in HS and in college (size…

Would you log it?
I have started up an old habit of mine from long ago. I was trying to find a way to stay more active during the day, especially when my son would go to sleep, but I had trouble sticking to a routine workout, and I was so low energy that all I wanted to do was watch TV while he rested. So I turned on the tube. Wanting to do…

Feel like I'm hungover?
About 9 months ago I got into taking Les Mills Body Combat classes at the Y and stopped about 6 weeks in (my infant son wasn't sleeping so I took a break). I have been working back into eating better and staying active so I decided to catch the Monday night class last night. The class has definitely increased intensity…

Quick squat question
I have recently become more active in my fitness (I wont pretend that I have been lifting weights or doing non-cardio workouts for a while). I have been doing 21 day fix workouts and I noticed that I am having an issue with your basic squat. When I do them, I don't "feel it" in my legs/glutes but in my hip flexors. Its not…

Weight loss with Low Blood Sugar
I was wondering if anyone could have a few pointers for me. A couple years ago I began having occasional issues with low blood sugar episodes. I had blood tests showing that I was definitely not diabetic (my 3 month average blood sugar was only about 75) and the issues were not caused by pancreatic problems, tumors etc.…

Please help? Any input appreciated
I started working out at a lower pace about 5-6 weeks ago. About a month ago I amped it up with two Les Mills Body Combat classes a week and a bootcamp class. If I have the time/energy I have also been doing a class on the weekends (cycling, etc). Here is my problem. Last week I did bootcamp on thursday, and I was sore for…

Overeat question.
Hi there. I am nowhere near new to the world of losing weight, but I am a novice in losing weight the correct and healthy way (eating disorder in the past). If you look in my diary yesterday you can see that I went over quite a bit in my calories (900-1000). I was actually 900 under until dinner when friends invited us…
