weight stalled since started working...Help!

If you don't like coffee, have you tried tea? like hot tea with no calorie sweetener? its really good. anywho, if you want more energy, try green smoothies. its a combo of kale, apples (which help keep you awake), carrots, and basically any fruits and veggies you like. they're really good and give you lots of energy. I drank them for a few months and never felt better.

How many hours of sleep do you get? I don't know how long a person can sustain sleeping less than they need. It sounds like maybe you have hit a wall, but I don't know that.

How many calories are you eating? I have a feeling it's probably not enough. Between and active job and an active life, your account should probably be set at moderately active. This will increase your calories to fuel your body more. Also, with only 50 lbs to lose, set your account to 1.5 lb per week. As you get smaller, you require a smaller deficit. I also like 35% carbs, 40% protein and 25% fats. It's much better for macronutrition.

Hello there just wanted to add my 2 cents here. Im assuming your refering to sunkist sodas and I will say let go of the sunkist and since you don't do energy drinks or coffee switch to apple juice. Do a quick google search on apples and coffee and you will find that 1 apple (which does not have caffeine) will effect your body as much as if you drank 1 cup of coffee. Switch your diet to 100% juices focusing more on the apple juice, or it should be real easy to find apple cider this time of year and you can have it as a warm drink too. Your body will be use to the sunkist craving but if your going to drink your calories at least it will have vitamins. The sugar content will be somewhat the same but it will be sugar from the fruit itself which lets your body digest easier. When you drink sunkist your sugar spikes then drops rapidly then you start craving sugar again the you grab another sunkist. When you eat natural sugars your sugar spikes and then gradualy drops as your body digests therefore lessening your craving. I work outdoors and would go through a 6 pack of gatorades a day in the heat of summer thinking they were good for me, and all I was doing was busting my calories everyday buy drinking 200 calories per drink. I'm on a 2100 calorie a day meal plan and by pounding 6 gatorades at 200 calories each I had already used up 1200 calories I was alotted. So I switched to juices 20oz of apple juice in the morning then waters with the indivudual powder packs by crystal light for flavor and I dropped weight consistantly. Good luck!

Definitely drop the Sunkist. If you're going to use soda to keep you awake, I'd switch to diet. No calories. I rarely drink soda, but I used to drink a ton. When I do, I drink Diet mountain dew. I'd give the Crystal Light energy packets a try. They taste good & you just mix with water so it's super easy & very few calories.
