    Hello, congrats on the 8 lb loss. I'm looking to loose this 20 lbs this year. I'm an operations manager & a proud mother of three teens. Isn't it fun???? Lol

    I work nights and the cafeteria is always closed so I generally pack some nuts, a cheese stick (always real cheese) a piece of fruit and a microwaveable meal- generally I get evol meals because I can pronounce all the ingredients and they have some good gluten free options (damn you, celiac!). I then grab small snack throughout the night and try to keep a full cup of water by me at all times. I am considering getting a food scale so that I can measure out portions better and stop guesstimating.

    I do use my food scale A LOT. It really helps to SEE exactly what you should be eating. Nuts are a great option, protein fills u up. And has good fat. Gonna pick some up. Teens are not fun. Lmao. Pullin my hair out wonderin how they got so smart, i mean, they know EVERYTHING! Lol

    I get huge bags of raw almonds at Costco, they make great snacks :-)
