Thanks for the feedback everyone. I work in icu at a hospital, I do usually bring my food with me overnight and keep it in the fridge. I will try the 1800 until my doctor appointment and see how it goes.

Thank you all for the kind responses. I spoke with my husband earlier, ate a healthier lunch and we went to get a gym membership and some new workout stuff. Thank you guys so much. Anyone is free to add me.

Ninerbuff: He has been addressing it for the past 2 months and joined again last 3 weeks. I don't expect anyone to understand what he has been going though since he has lost both his brother and dad in the last month. He has still been trying and dropped 20 lbs. looking for advice, not snide comments here. Thanks to those…

I most often eat fruits, yogurts, granola bars, and a lot of things I eat are prepackaged with calorie values on them (no…

I don't think it should cause any bloat unless you're drinking it? If you just swish with it, there shouldn't be an issue. Just keep drinking plenty of water if you are worried.

Personally, I always feel better if I work out when I'm sick or trying to get over a cold. It is tough finding the motivation to go to the gym and tough it out but it feels so good after. I had a bad cold all last week and went to the gym. I did nearly 45 mins of weight training then an hour of cardio, and I sweated like…

I have been where you are, I really have. It is not easy to lose weight, it isn't easy to make a lifestyle change, and it isn't easy to get motivated. But I promise once you start, it gets easier! Start making small changes. Buy fruit and start eating a piece as a snack or as breakfast. Start scaling back portions, even if…
