When I'm working 12-13 -14 hr days, I pick sleep over a workout. I'm no good if I'm sleep deprived5

You can lose weight without working out. You can't do much of anything without sleep.9

Sleep!
When I'm tired it's definitely easy for me to overeat to the tune of 1,000+ calories if I'm not careful, which would totally negate the 200-300 calorie burn of a workout.2 -
Thank you everyone this will definently help me and my job is already pretty active and on my feet the whole time....0

you don't have to choose. You can lose weight with diet alone.
It's so important to get good sleep! So don't worry about killing yourself at the gym!0 -

Sleep is way more important. As previous posters have stayed it you can lose the weight without the exercise but you definitely need to sleep.
Saw a documentary on television one time about Navy Seals and their training. During hell week which lasts for approximately 6 days they get a total of 10 or 15 hours sleep over those six days. The way the body compensates for not sleeping is by eating. during that time the seals can consume 8 thousand calories a day to keep them going.0 -

Yes. That is exactly what my brother experienced when he was in the SEALS without sleep -- lots of food.
