Well I love my job. I love to travel. I like meeting new people. I sit a lot and on the road I work a lot but overall I don't stress about work. I like the V8 Splash I think it is, it has fruit. But regular V8, eee. I like baby carrots. I love cucumber too but hate the peel. I love eating salads but only with ranch…

Ok. I've made a list of things I need so I can eat healthy foods while on the road. Since I travel often and never know what kind of hotel I'll be staying in, what ammenities they will provide, I'll need- Scale Peeler Cutting board Large cooler Spoon Fork Knife Tupperware Then all I have to do is buy groceries, yogurts,…

I haven't just come out of the gate. I've been trying to lose weight actively for about 3 years now. When I started I was 180 lbs. I had a different job and worked out every day at the gym. A few things have changed and i gained back what i had lost plus some (40lbs). I rarely drink anything but water. I eat the…

When I don't see results fast I get frustrated too. Don't give up ok. We can do this. This app is so helpful. There are lots of people here who have great ideas.

Ok. Good feedback. As for having better options for food here, not really. I've scoured google. I picked up some snacks and grapes at Walmart last night. Since hurricane Mathew hit half the resteruants are closed still. I don't like deli meat sandwiches and that's about as healthy as it gets (Subway type places). I will…

I just want to eat like a normal person. Realisticly, I'm not going to "work out". I'm tired, I have to many other things to do, and I'm often in pain from a bad back. I can try to move every hour, get at least 10000 steps a day and make healthier choices when I eat. That's all I got time for. My diet has to match my…

No. I don't.

I have worked nights most my life. I really don't mind it, plus we avoid child care costs this way. One day I hope to get promoted and be on 1st shift. When my kids are older. I love responding with State Farm Catastrophe Team. I pretty much love my job all around. I bought a fitbit last month and have been keeping track…

Oh i forgot to answer, I'm 5'5" and 210 lbs

I track everything and if I'm not sure I choose the option with the highest calories just in case when recording things. If i eat a tictac, I log it. I stopped drinking caffine. I go with bottled water 90% of the time. My Dr put me on a pre diabetic diet once, 60 carbs per meal/snack. I died. I can't cut carbs. I'm to…

I don't have a metabolism. Most days I don't even wanna eat over 500 calories. When I'm traveling for work it's a hassle trying to not go over in one meal. I like the idea of IF. I'm going to do my own research.

Thank you everybody!

Half mypost didn't show up, anyways, i have a mini fridge and microwave. How do i eat healthy?

I work nights in an office at a desk, lucky to get 6 hours of sleep so I'm usually tired. I use alot of previously posted tricks. Walk around the office, park farthest spot away, walk kids to school.

Yea mine didn't really synch up for a couple days, then it started showing my steps.

I think the most important thing is to log your food. Stay within the calories alotted for that day. I also work nights and am a mom. I homeschool my oldest, well my mom does most of it thankfully, and my daughter goes to public school but has type 1 diabetes. So im usually lucky to get 6 hours of sleep a day. I'm to tired…

Thank you all very much for the tips. I'm going to look into implementing these ideas. I just grilled chicken, cut it up, and made salads for work for the next 3 nights. They are mixed and sealed in Tupperware now :) I think I'm liking this meal prep day. I'm going to google the fasting thing, since I fast unintentionally…

Not usually but i dont usually eat enough. I log food just so i can complete my daily log even when i don't actually eat it lol. Now if i drive by steak n shake on my way to work I'm good to go.

I'm also trying to lose 30 lbs good luck!

Hello! I'm new here myself. I've never tried WW. But my Dr suggested a prediabetic diet of 60g of carbs per meal. I tried that and felt like i was starving. Like, i want to lose weight and get fit but not if i have to starve. My biggest problem is i dont eat enough and when i do eat it's the wrong things. It makes it very…
