Best Meal Replacement/Protein Shakes
So I'll try to keep this short. I'm a RN and I just switched to nights (10:30pm-7:00am). I love it as I am naturally a night owl but my whole timing for meals has been screwed up. When I worked mornings I usually had a breakfast bar or a piece of fruit as I'm not a big breakfast person and then I had a late lunch and a…

Ladies with babies!
Hi! I just had my daughter on 2/28. I'm now ready to get back into the weight loss mode. Are there any other ladies who had babies recently that would like to keep each other motivated? A little about me...I'm 29 years old, half way through nursing school (currently on a hiatus until this fall), and married. Besides our…

Running After a Hernia
I've been off and on trying to start jogging. I've attempted the C25K program a couple of times and never stuck to it. Mostly to keep me motivated my lean wonderful husband said he'd start jogging with me, but he also wants to be healthy. He's never been one to exercise but is naturally very lean. He had a pretty bad…

Onederland! Finally!
I've actually been in onederland for atleast a week, but I've been paranoid about making this post because I made a post about almost being at my halfway mark awhile ago only to find out later the scale at the mall was broken and I was actually 211 and not 202. :neutral_face: I have since bought a scale and last week I had…

I'm Practically At My Halfway Mark! (58lbs lost w/pics!)
I was one of those people that didn't often have their picture taken, and when I did I didn't really examine it. I viewed myself as thinner than I was and had no idea I had gotten that lumpy. I was living in denial. It wasn't until I stepped on the scale at the beginning of January and saw 260 that I had some sense slapped…

Protein Shakes
So I have been super paranoid about replacing one of my meals (mainly lunch) with a protein shake. I was worried that it just wouldn't fill me up and would just leave me craving physical food. I was wrong. I got a turtle cheesecake protein shake yesterday...25g protein...253 calories...100% filling and delicious. I was…

I can not use a fitness ball!
I've wanted to start a work out routine that tones my muscles and not just rely on cardio. So I was going to start doing the curvy body workout from women's fitness found here. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/best-workout-for-an-hourglass-body But when it comes to the one with the push up leg raise on the…

Chocolate Cravings
I've completely changed the way I eat since the beginning of January and I gave up soda with no hiccups. I've also started jogging regularly (for 20 minutes), but I can never shake my chocolate craving. I've managed to fit a chocolate bar into my goals a couple times (like yesterday), but I'm wondering if any of you have…
