Water. Quality of food (not just calories). Eat back calories burned if possible. Remember the battle is won in the kitchen. Exercise is the "icing on the cake." The kitchen/fridge/eating is the "cake". Hang in there. You can do it. Be patient and remember this is a journey, not a battle.

etsy? look on pinterest for other ideas too. Good luck!!

I am a sales rep who drives all day long. My cooler is my lifeline. I pack yogurts, salads, veggies, fruit, etc. Good luck and congrats on new job!!

sounds yummy. I am having omlettes for dinner. This may be tomorrow nite!! Thanks.

mini bag of popcorn (usually 100 calories or less). Takes a while to eat. filling.

First -- yea for you for putting your education first. You are obviously a very smart woman. Second -- this is a fitness site. Ignore those who want to give you money advice. There are great sites for that, with experts. Third -- alot of smart fitness folks (above) gave you alot of GOOD advice. Good luck!!!

I agree with Coffee (above reply). But I will say adding a tablespoon of low fat (or natural sugar free) peanut butter does help be more filling. I make smoothies almost every day -- they are high in calories but still a good, solid meal on the go. Good luck.

ok -- looks like an overhaul is in place for me the next few weeks ............ stay tune. I am also a sales rep so I walk all day -- in and out of stores. I always park as far away as possible .......... thus more steps. then I come home and work at my barn (cleaning stalls, lifting hay, grooming & riding) then I work out…

No clue about food diary -- I set it to public. Yes I agree completely about mixing up workouts. I do set treadmill on incline and do various courses (not just flat walking). I also walk at home -- I live on a farm and do alot of manual work with my horses. I also ride. I do yoga at least 1x a week. I did do heavy weight…

Thanks. I opened food diary to everyone -- not just friends. Thanks so much.

be patient. remember that your body is a machine -- must feed it clean and give it enough. Then it will run at its best!! Good luck.

I bought 2 boxes but told the Mom to donate them to her food pantry at church!! NOT coming in this house ..................

love this .............

anyone feel free to add me -- I am new too. I will encourage you as well!! tlwells62
