Eat only the food I bring with me to work. Often times I am offered cake, pie or cookies. Granted not huge servings cause its a nursing home but I normally have no clue on calories on them.

Tthanks. I will have to try that.

They are brown.

I have one. Don't recall brand. I like it.. Not really for cooking for more than 2 or 3 people. I wish I got the biggest size. Its my only regret.

1600 calories isn't really a lot to eat. You could probably go higher and still lose. How did you get to be 100 pounds overweight if you think you can't eat 1600 calories. . I know when I was much heavier. At. 272 it started me at 2100 and I can only guess that I was eating 3000 calories or more a day to get me to the…

I have a cookbook called Eat Great. Lose weight. I have liked almost everything I have tried. It has a good variety of food and list the nutritional values.

Yes.. I also stopped being afraid of the fats and use them in meals at times. I am feeling better about the dying of hunger situation.. Also been better at getting my workouts in the last couple of weeks. I feel like my body naturally "wants" 2000 calories a day so I need to work out if I am going to get the scale to move…

No. I haven't tried that but since I am aiming for more protein its been a lot better.

I counted calories and worked out. Lost 101 pounds.. I went thru divorce and then started dating a coworker... I slacked off too much of my workout some due to finding I was anemic and stopped counting calories when I didn't have internet access. I have gained about 15 to 20 pounds but like to think a few of them is cause…

I don't typically get 7 to 8 hours sleep.. a little bit is due to staying up too late but mostly just due to work and then being up for my son and then off to work myself.

Thanks.. I need to limit mine and set little rules to keep me on track.. my favorite lately is a small frosty from Wendy's.. I had an hour down time and told myself if I didn't eat any sweets I would get one.. I know I could use better use of that time and walk. But i did walk 30 minutes when my client took a nap.

I am working on getting back to setting up times where I work out as much as possible during the week.. I would be happy with 5 times a week.. I have two shifts where I work 12 hour days and it's just too much of a challenge to get out after my son leaves and get myself to work on time.. the workout can only be 40 minutes…

I actually drink lots of water. I carry around a bottle all day and fill it a lot.. I am pretty sure the times when I feel extremely hunger even after eating that it's true hunger. I am not craving anything in mind. I just want food.. Since most of these moments happen I am at work I can only eat the food I bring with me.…

Thanks for your suggestion.. I been trying to move my diet around to see if I notice a difference.. I didn't have any extreme hunger over the weekend.. I notice it hits my about 5 pm which is about the time I am at my 2nd clients place.. I felt like it was starting but it calmed down tonight.

I am working on getting more fiber in. I use benifiber twice a day but I forget to log it. I do that due to a side effect of the iron.. It's getting cool so I am sure I will start using more beans in my diet.. thanks for the reminder.

I really am not suppose to wear a sweater cause then I am "out of uniform" I can wear shirts under my scrub so I decided from now on I am wearing long sleeves.. also when I am one of my clients house where we have to keep it cold I will put my light jacket on if I need to.. the other place they are too worried about the…

I have read the most recent posts. I will respond when I am home on the computer instead of my phone..

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.. A couple questions. Protein powders can it just be with cold water? I often need this for when I am working? Also I spend quite bit of time cold at work cause of the ac. Can that make me hungry? Example. I was starving after dinner and even with snacks. I got off at 11pm and went…

Sometimes I am hungry within an hour or two. It seems to be mostly in the evening and more so on work days.. I think I might start keeping record. I been hungry all evening tonight.

I gained about the same in my days leading up to our separation. I wanted the divorce but still it was a stressful scary time.

Thanks everyone. Today I added chia seeds to my oatmeal. I was stuffed before I finished but it wasnt a good meal like normally when I add pb. I added flax seed to my yogurt. It was much easier to eat. I haven't been extremely hungry today but at the same time I lazed around most of the day. I been tired from 3 nights of…

Thanks for the suggestion. I added it to my cart to order it. I love that it sounds easy enough to do while at work.

I am thinking you did a typo saying 1400 to 1500 calories a week?

I read that as lifting.. Overall.. Between work, my son and boyfriend I feel like I struggle with fitting everything in. Part of my struggles is being in a new relationship.

I am 40 year old female. I am just now getting into weights because I discovered I am really week.. My biggest struggle is that I just don't enjoy weight lifting and I feel uncomfortable in that part of both gyms I belong to.

I looked thrust her books.. Some recipes look good but I found them to have too many fake ingredients which would make my grocery bill to high.

I find that if I am not eating something all the time it will enventully drop off.. Only can delete foods from frequent list.

Thanks. I do really well 5 to 8 miles.. After that its a chore physically and time wise.

Thanks everyone. I did it!! It was a brutal run.. I was dealing with side aches and feeling ill to my stomach for part of the run but I just pushed thru and get telling myself you can do it.. My boyfriend was there to watch me cross the finish line and I believe he now has a better understanding of how tough running is and…
