Annnnd...now I'm single. Yup.

THAT is a perfect idea. I didn't think about buying turkey and then using the rest for soup. Your SOUP idea is great because I LOVE soup. I just have a really really low sodium diet, so I guess I just...never considered it. But I can adjust and make a soup nice, healthy and, hopefully delicious and low in sodium as well. I…

Yeah...I was thinking "what happened to be positive and supportive?" Isn't this what this site is about?

I am glad that you said eggs because I have just decided to return eggs to my diet. I stopped because they weren't making me feel very well...I don't want to go into detail, but I think that I am ready to eat them again. I definterly enjoy eggs. Ground turkey I don't so much enjoy. Like I said, I rather enjoy my food. If…

There isn't a problem with what I eat. That wasn't the point of my post. My post is for ideas of other healthy snacks I could eat or try. Or ideas people had or suggestions on types of food that people like to make or different ways to prepare things.Things that I could add to my diet other than what I have been eating.…

I appreciate the brashness. I've lost 66 pounds :) So I am making progress. I just don't post my stamp. Thanks :)

Thank you and you're so right. I will probably end up eating it again at some point. Great job on your weight loss!! :)

I am so sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this. I work night shifts and I've been so exhausted lately. The fruits I eat are as follows: bananas, grapes, watermelon and raspberries. Those are the ones I enjoy the most. I do eat apples and oranges because my work provides them, but not that often. The vegetables I…

Seriously. Every time I see or hear the words "single ladies" there goes Beyonce singing in my head.

I'm a great motivator! And a lesbian too :)

My last night on shift. Haven't been feeling well. Working nights and being sick really suck. So then why did I eat that cupcake?!? Ugh. Not looking forward to my weigh-in this week.

I would just like to say that it's really awesome that I was able to start this and find so many people who are in the same boat as I am. It is extremely comforting knowing that I am not the only one struggling with this. It's also nice that we're all here for the same reasons, to get healthier. It's a great support…

I have a friend who is also what you would call "A night owl." She always lived a night life and she's also a huge gamer...I have no idea if that has ANYTHING to do with staying up late, but she says that she's always up late playing games. She says she is not a morning person at all, so the night shift is actually perfect…

I pretty much follow this same schedule, only I go to sleep after my "dinner" because I have to drive to my gym...and I don't want to risk falling asleep at the wheel even if I think that I am awake enough. So I go to sleep, I wake up about two hours before work, I go to the gym, eat, and then head to work.

I hear you. When I FIRST started working nights, I wouldn't eat anything ALL day and then when I would get to work, I would just eat all night...and NOT the right things. In a year, I gained like 40 pounds and I was like, enough is enough. It definitely is hard to find that balance and the right things to eat that are…

That's cute and not as bold and out there as putting "sex" as your cardio, which could be considered tmi. Man people must find this subject extremely sensitive!!! Either that or they're not having any...hahaha.

Yeah definitely check it out! There are a ton of options. I felt sooo weird about adding cleaning. I added it once cause I literally did it for 7 hours and couldn't make it to the gym. I was like, this has to count for something!!! But yeah, what's great is like she said, you can add in your own exercises. Sex definitely…

So you add it? That's great. I'm thinking of adding it too.

I can't be the only one who has thought about this!!

Yeah, I agree with Funky over there. You're going to need more than cereal to get to your goal. It may work at first, but I think your body will plataue fast! She's right. This is about a lifestyle change, not a temporary fix. You can't eat cereal to lose 50 pounds and then go back to whatever way you were eating before.…

Mmm...I wouldn't bank on that!! But I wish you all the best!!! :)

Cereal huh? All kinds? Warm and cold?? Hope you're sticking to cereals low in sugar!!

This is a great way to meet people who are going through the same thing that you are, with similar struggles. You're not alone here at MFP and people are more than willing to help motivate, inspire and give great tips from experience! Good luck on you're journey!!

I don't think they can!! Our bodies have this...natural clock. I could never live in Alaska!! But it's even harder if you do nights like I do, for 3 nights and then go back to a regular schedule for 4 days, just to go back to nights for 3.

This place is a great motivator!!! You're well on your way :)

And working out when you're tired is so hard. I try to push myself but my body just can't take it when I'm exhausted like that. I know exactly what you mean.

Oh yeah, I definitely can't go the entire night without eating. I bring healthy snacks and plan what I'm going to eat ahead of time and factor that into my daily calorie intake.

Working out probably helps you sleep too!! :)

Yeah and not eating can be just as bad as eating all the wrong things. I feel you!
