Working 6 days on 6 off, 12 hour shifts ...workout frequency question!
Hi! I have a really weird work schedule. 3 day shifts, 3 night shifts, all 12 hour shifts with an hour long commute each way. Then I have 6 days off in a row. I almost never have the energy to exercise after or before work. I'm just wondering if there is really any point in bothering on my days off? I feel like I'll never…

Exercises that can be done quickly & without equipment??
I'll be working in isolation for the next several months. My shifts are 12 hours which is great for dieting, you're moving around for 12 hours a day and have limited access to food. Snacking is what kills me. So that's a plus. As a negative though I won't have time to go to the gym (even though one is provided). 12 hour…

At the moment I use a spin bike for an hour 5 times a week (I'm building up to combining…

When should I weigh myself to check for weight loss?
I weighed myself on January 31st (the day I started actively using myfitnesspal) and two weeks into a cardio routine. I'm 165 and my goal is 140 (my original weight before I discovered delivery). My goal is to drop 2 pounds a week but I'm terrified of weighing again in case it's too soon. I can get easily discouraged. My…

Balancing calorie goal with burned calories?
When trying to hit my "Calorie Goal" of 1200 a day and I burn a lot off with exercise - Do I then have to eat that much more a day?? I made this account last year and gave up rather quickly. I'm now starting over and I was confused today after I did my workout and burned 800+ calories that my calorie goal went up. Do I…
