Hello All - I am once again on a quest to get myself in shape...this time I am planning to try a new approach and use this website to keep myself on track. I have never really watched my calories before and am excited to start. I am also wondering if anyone has any eating tips for 12 hour night shifts...Thanks and have a great day!

    Welcome! The best advise I can think of for 12 hour nights is to plan ahead. I don't work nights, but I plan my food the night before. This way I don't overeat. Once you make it through a few weeks you will have a pretty good routine down. This site is wonderful for that.

    Good Luck:drinker:

    Hi there!

    I understand your position as it is my first time joining ANY on line community, but like you I thought that I may as well try a new approach to see if I can be more effective in my weight loss attempt this time! I have already found some extremely useful info like the "Laughing Cow" cheese wedges! I went to Sam's today and bought a couple of different kinds and they are really awesome and filling! Anyway! Just wanted to say howdy!

    Welcome!

    Yes planning is key! No matter if you are day or nights, you have 24 hours to eat and exercise. For you it is reversed, that is all!!

    So bring 2 tlbs hummus and 8 baby carrots, 6 triscuits and a wedge of Laughing cow, a packet of Kashi Heart to Heart Oatmeal.

    Good luck to ya!:flowerforyou:
