UPDATE: At the beginning of this year I was 210. I hadn't been weighing myself for months but about 2 weeks ago I went to get a physical and realized I had lost 5 lbs and didn't know! I got curious this morning and weighed myself again and I lost another 3 lbs! I've already lost 8 lbs since I started Calorie Counting,…

Indeed, to each their own! I understand though, it can be concerning to some considering the world these days. Lets hope we are all here to enjoy eachother's company and without ill will.

Its so wonderful having someone who understands my pain LOL! I cooked alot of baked fish and chicken before my financial struggles and before the in laws moved in, they dont believe in baking anything but cookies LOL! They also use butter and bacon grease in everything! Its delicious but its artery clogging haha! Thank you…

Thank You all for your feedback so far! I am soaking it all in. Some things can be done now and some will have to wait but it is all helpful and greatly appreciated. I can be a bit on the negative side sometimes so I appreciate everyone's patience with me and all of the uplifting words. <3 ;)

Its not always unquenchable, but i cant be without a drink at any point in time. I have one with me most of the day. I can drink several cups when im eating any meal. It might be a habitual thing lol! I recently had a biometric screening and my blood sugar was fine so im sure thats not it. I just went to see my doctor on…

Im def not buying protein shakes on the regular, i just have a HUGE container i bought a long time ago. I couldnt afford to buy it now... that thing was $70 on sale... and quite frankly, if i dont finish it soon it may expire lol! Really though, I really have been portioning... i do have some slip ups though because, well,…

Yeah, that's a good point.. they do still buy and cook shrimp though their son is allergic though, they just open a window to air the house out a bit.. Might i mention that the shrimp are strictly hers because they are so expensive.. and if i want to be able to eat them i have to contribute to them... though... i mean, im…

I really cant do anything at the moment in regard to being up so early. I wait in my building and generally use that time to workout on occasion, shower and get ready for the day. If I have time and am able to, I will nap at my desk. I think the living situation itself would be fixed once the financial situation is fixed,…

YES LOL! The privacy keeps me in the room as well as him... that is a huge issue. They moved in with us so we can get a bigger place and keep an eye on them as they are getting older, we were supposed to split bills and have split bills, but the financial issues came soon there after... so they stayed to help out and we…

Yes, i know the sleep thing is probably causing alot of it.. i get 4-5 hours a night m-f. Id have to see the other part is not being able to eat better. If I could eat healthier I could eat more and remain full longer, but I am stuck with fatter carb and calorie filled foods that leave me hungry within an hour of eating...…

Well, I most def have to wake up that early to get to work. He has be to at dock by 5 and hes my only ride since our other car was totaled. Ill look into the food scale but no promises with the finances like they are. I def read the labels, that helps alot with the fat content and calories as well as knowing what a portion…

Man I cook and clean but I cant grocery shop right now for financial reasons... BTW you guys... they live with me in my house, we just fell on a temporary hard time early this year. I promise im not a bum.... :neutral:

**sigh** I have a mini fridge but I am not financially able to buy much of anything right now... we've had such bad luck with our car and the bills are piling up even with help. Only thing Ive been able to get is protein shake which only supplements, and its a lean protein shake not the body mass building kind lol!

Most def working on that consistent logging. I don't always get it in but I am always watching it. Its much easier at work because I'm at my desk and just input it. I do have the app but my phone is a POS so it overheats a bunch and it doesn't really like apps, once i can get a new phone that weekends will def be easier to…

Hello, So the lack of sleep is partially insomnia related and part my husband being up during my sleep time... not really willing to leave the room . -____- Its def not ideal for being well rested. I dont start work until 9 am but my husband currently has to drop me off at work on his way in so im generally at work by…

Well, I would love to go shopping with my mother in law but Im at work when she does and im sure she wouldnt be very receptive to "Can you buy something you dont want to eat so i can eat it, even though im not buying it?" LOL! I am trying to just be appreciative with what she provides. Im def working on portioning for…

Its a mix of generally not being able to sleep and my husband being awake when i am trying to sleep. Im always exhausted during the day and wide awake at night, and it seems as though when I am tired at night there is always something that keeps me up. Feels like a losing battle trying to maintain any kind of sleep…
