Prayers for you and your family that he returns safely.

My ex is similar....except he wouldn't take the time to take our daughter to the zoo to begin with, lol. Definitely a jerk. From here on out, make sure you don't trust him with anything....not even the smallest slightest task. Do it yourself so that you're sure it gets done, even if it's a pain in the butt. Because he's…

Welcome! I have a similar situation...lost a lot and then regained about 30lbs. Good luck! MFP has been very helpful to me and easy to keep up with :)
-
Congratulations! I'm happy for you. I hope to have a similar feeling some day. :)
-
Thanks, all. Good advice. I think I may have been subconsciously been looking for an excuse to eat junk food on second thought. :P I'll look into smarter meal choices with a higher calorie content since I might only find myself eating 1 or 2 meals a day during my weekends.
-
That's true....I could probably research some higher-calorie natural and healthy foods that would make easy meals.
-
I'm ready to eat a meal by that time....evening is basically the only time during those days that my appetite resurfaces. But I have a bit of a phobia about eating large quantities of food at a time. Maybe it's not really an issue...but I feel like if I eat a lot at once, that my body's going to be more likely to crave…

Old Navy is bad about that. I've known more than one guy that has said his measurements don't align with Old Navy brand pants' sizes.

I understand completely. Good luck and I hope the site helps you. Ive been on it almost a week and I can tell that it definitely makes a difference in my motivation and attitude. The food journal is really great in particular!

Have you been eating high fiber foods? Fiber expands in the body, making you feel fuller. It has helped me a lot. Especially oats...oats metabolize slowly and steadily, making them great for helping to control hunger.
-
Lol that's definitely a big part of the 'eating healthier' part. But without the Adipex, I wouldn't have the decreased appetite, so without it I'd still definitely be stopping by a fast food place 1-2 times a day. It was getting sooooo out of control. I was even telling myself sometimes on the way that I wasn't hungry and…
-
I can't say for sure if the Adipex itself has made me lose weight, but the added energy and the decreased appetite that it gives me are the reason I've been able to exercise and eat better. But it is pricey. I don't know how much insurance would pay, but I buy it with cash and one month's supply is $100. The only way I…

I take Adipex. I was on it previously and loved it, then stopped when I couldn't afford it anymore, and have been back on it for one week now. A lot of people (probably most) aren't a fan of diet pills, and I used to be one of them. I had a 'pride' thing about eating healthy and exercising and felt like anyone who turned…

It can be tough! I've had those days. And days when I've lost a lot in water weight and then gained some back and been disappointed at the numbers. Just stay motivated and in the end you'll be SOOO thankful that you stuck with it!
-
Good luck!

Welcome :) I just started on here Monday.
-
That's been my problem. I'm not hungry enough to eat all those calories. I'm eating lots of fruits and vegetables that are low-cal, so the numbers just don't stack up as fast. But the "you need at least 1,200 or you'll sabotage your metabolism" is blaring in your head. I think I'm going to try juice, because I'll get the…

I don't have insomnia, but my sleep pattern is completely out of whack. Three nights a week I work 9pm-9am, and the other 4 days a week I wake up at 4:30am to try to get a walk in before the kids wake up, and then I'm up with them all day and go to bed early. I definitely don't get more than a couple hours of sleep on the…

Congrats! That's awesome.
-
I calculated the calories (in my recipe box---I just joined yesterday, I have no clue if it's visible to others, lol), and *with* cheese, one sandwich is 323 calories. Given that you're getting a hearty sandwich with all four food groups, I think that sounds pretty good to me. :)
-
A pound isn't much. It could be water, easily. It could also be that you have poop in you that'll come out and it will go down, lol. Funny, but true.
-
The avocado sounds great! And no, I haven't calculated the calories yet in one...I'm kind of scared to find out that it might be more indulgent than I'd hoped, lol.

Hey. I'm also new here and I also work night shift. :) I work full time, but on weekends. 9pm-9am Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. It's great because I'm a mom and get all week with my kids, but it's made it somewhat difficult to create an exercise schedule. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I'm beat from working the entire…
