Nurses or nursing students unite!
Hi guys! I'm currently in nursing school, scheduled to start my first semester with clinicals this September (I could not be more nervous! o_o ) and graduate in Dec 2016 (hopefully I'm not jinxing myself here lol). In the future I was thinking of doing traveling nursing and later on going back to specialize in forensic…

Dead space 3
The release date for Dead Space 3 is getting closer! xD I can not wait for this game!!! <3 I am really worried that making it co-op with Carter is going to sacrifice the scary atmosphere BUT I have a lot of faith in Visceral. <Basically I am seeing what happened to Resident Evil 5 and their co-op and am afraid the same…

sore bones :(
So I'm a temp at a factory ( some of the problem may be that I haven't adjusted yet although I've been there since December) and I do long 9 hour days/ 6 days a week and damn by the end of the week my bones ache!! The place has got concrete floors and I've always heard concrete is hard on your shins and feet. Well problem…

Been at this forever now
This is just a little rant. I just have been trying to lose weight for so long now probably like 2 years by now and I'm still not at goal weight/size. It seems like other people can lose double what my goal is in under a year yet I am struggling to do it in three times that time. Every year now since I've set out trying to…

quitting new job etiquette
So I have worked at my current job for barely a week now. It was pretty decent but I got an offer from an old employer and I can't refuse, much better pay, benefits , possibility of promotions and more training- current is dead end, minimum wage, no benefits. So I want to quit current one but I don't really know how? I…

Insomnia D:
I have having very bad insomnia for months now. I have always been a night owl and have always gotten away with the bare minimum of sleep but for the past few months it has gotten way worse and now has become intolerable. I can't take it!! It doesn't matter how early I wake up (I have even pulled all nighters with no naps…

Can I wear this dress to a wedding?
Not as a bride but as a guest :laugh: I heard chicks aren't supposed to wear white but is this okay since it isn't solid white? I don't really know the rules, it is also above the knee... Don't know it that matters 0_o http://www.periwing.com/vines-print-mandarin-collar-mini-chinese-dress.html

Carb back loading
From what I understand you basically don't eat carbs in the A.M,, do weight lifting then have at all your carbs at night. I'm sure it is more complex though so can someone please fill me in? Also has anyone done this and found success? And if so what % of carbs did you aim for and when during the day do you allow yourself…
-
Frozen veggies/fruits
I like to buy frozen fruits/veggies since they can keep longer and are cheaper.. I'd like to think they are the same as fresh ones but if I have learned anything it is that I'm always wrong about this kind of stuff :grumble: So do they lose a dramatic amount of nutrients or anything??
-
Zig Zagging cals
A few questions on the matter. You basically would just eat say +200 more cals on day then -200 less the next right? How big of a calorie bracket should you go? As in is my example of 200 good enough or should you go higher? Also lets say today I am supposed to be eating 200 less, BUT, I workout. Would I eat back exercise…

Never going to get there :(
I am having a hard time lately :( Been slipping up more and more with the diet and have been losing my urge to workout (have been pushing through them best I can but its like marching through molasses ) I usually try not to look in the mirror too much (don't want to be searching for results too soon and get upset) but…

Models? B**ch please!!!
So most girls want to look like Heidi Klum, or Tyra Banks or something (hah only 2 models I could think of >_< ) But I know in at least my case I want to look like a video game girl!! Yeah models may be Photo shopped all the time but most video game girls don't even have room for organs! So I don't want to hear the…

Over eating~ the day after
Let's say you over eat a TON one day (like in range of 1000-1500 cals over your goal) and the next day you work out, **for those of you who DO eat back exercise calories** do you eat back workout calories even though you were way over the night before? :huh:

Wearing out a routine
If you use a DVD or some routine too often will it stop being effective? I've been doing Killer Buns and Thighs (Jillian Micheal's) a lot lately but I try to switch up the levels, do the more advanced moves and add on weight. I'm worried since I have been using it so often it won't help me anymore. I wanted a new leg…

cycling through old workouts/ Jillian Micheals
When you "finish" a dvd or routine how long do you wait before you use it again? More specifically for dvds like Jillian Micheal's 30day shred or killer buns and thighs, that have levels 1-3 in them, if you aren't quite satisfied with the results at the end of the 30 days or whatever do you just restart the program right…

Getting very Frustrated need advice
I weigh 181lbs and have been on 1200 calorie diet for a few months I regularly exercise (lately have been doing Jillian Micheal's fat burn metabolism boost and her killer buns and thighs dvds. So I usually burn at least 300 or 400 a day and some days I do both and burn around 700. I also am sure to add in some cross…

The Hardest Part of it all :( *emotional beware*
So I can usually handle the working out, and although at times I LOATHE it I can usually handle eating healthier and all of that jazz. But what the hardest part for me and trying to lose this weight is my confidence along this transition. I started out with terrible self esteem and lately it has been fluctuating, at times…

what'd you guys think?
Did my first day of 30Ds and i got to say I liked it. It was challenging but not too terrible like I was afraid of. And Jillian was pretty cool, not too *****y like people have warned lol she even made a few jokes :] Over all I think it'll do the trick, or at least help ^^ What'd you guys think?

miracle noodles
There are these new noodles that are from Japan that supposedly have no calories or carbs in them. They look great and just like the name-miraculous- but do you think its real? I think they are made of soy or something but haven't weeded out much info. What do you guys think?

30 Day Shred question
Planning on starting the first of December. I heard from a few people that it isn't a program meant to be done every single day so have you guys just done every other day with some cardio thrown in on off days? Also how is the workout logged on MFP? Just as circuit training? About the levels. when do you know it is time to…

someone give me a slap in the face
I've had a supremely stressful week and because of my own stupidity its only snow balling. I have been binging like crazy. In fact I am almost positive I have eaten over 3500 calories just today. Ironically some of my previous weight loss efforts had shown a little and had been feeling kind of good about how I looked (even…

Rage workouts
I'm an angry person which works out fine because I work out best when I've got some anger behind me pushing me a little harder. What are some good workouts that can be done in an angry mood? Besides the obvious of kick boxing and such:l Also know any good metal songs?

If you guys do allow yourselves a cheat day what are your rules? (do you get a whole day or just one meal? Go crazy or only to a certain limit? ) And whats the first thing you go for to eat :) I usually waste it on stupid Burger King then get all whiny and regret not going for something better lol I also usually give…

insomnia D:
I don't know whats up but I can't catch a good nights rest at all. I just lost my job and I would usually go to bed around 9pm and wake up at 5am. Its been a week or so and I still get super tired at that same time but I can not fall asleep and if I do its usually around 2 or 3 and then I still end up getting up around 5.…

How much do you eat and work out?
So MFP wants me to be eating 1200 a day but this website http://www.loseweightfit.com/weight-loss-calculator/ says eating 2000 would suffice for weight loss. If 2000 cal diet was already giving me a 500ish deficit wouldn't a 1200 diet pretty much give me a deficit of 1300? I heard somewhere that a daily deficit over 1000…

"I used to be Fat"
I just watched a show last night called "I used to be Fat". I'm thinking its one of those shows that follows a different person each time, but when I saw it it was about an 18 year old named Terra. Any thoughts on this show? It was on MTV so I'm thinking they focus more on overweight teens/young adults.

BRR it's cold out but I need cardio!!
SO i have mostly been relying on my bike for cardio. I just lost my gym membership due to financial crap so now I'm a little lost! The past few days have been terrible out (I live in Ohio and winter hits decently hard here :p ) so I'm worrying about how I'll squeeze in my cardio now? I have a little bit of back up right…
