I'm sorry I am not going to say what you want to hear, cause it's just not realistic to see that type of change in your body over a week. For many people the first few weeks is always the hardest because those are the weeks you have to learn to restrict and limit items. Also the frustration with keeping track of what you…

It's the highly processed foods that contain many of the surprise ingredients like you mentioned. If you cannot afford organic try making more items at home instead of buying premade ones available on store shelves. If you really want to know what is in your food google the ingredients and research it. You may not like the…

If you don't want to eat a huge hot meal in the middle of your shift you can try adding some higher calorie snacks to eat during your shift. Dates, raisins and dried figs are high in calories. Adding avocados or guacamole to your diet is a great way to increase your calories. Dip your fruit in peanut butter, nutella or…

We are at a midway point between vegetarianism and veganism. We have opted to use many vegan options in our lives but have not fully converted. We still eat eggs, yogurt, cheese and some other dairy products from cows but we also have dairy free milk in the home, many times when I bake and sometimes when I cook I use a…

I'm a vegetarian (lacto-ovo) converted almost two years ago from being meat eater.

I also find counting calories helps me make wiser decisions, like do I want to eat a 1/2 cup of this that will not give me a satisfied full feeling or do I want…

I believe you should do what you feel fits best for you. If you want everything to count as one day log it as one day, if you want midnight to start the next day log it as midnight. Just make sure to stay consistent to avoid confusing and over consumption of calories. I personally log everything from the time I wake up…

After having my kids I struggled to maintain a healthy weight because I always found myself snacking for meals instead of sitting down and eating something healthy. But my weight really started shooting up when I took a night job at a restaurant that offered it's employees free meals and unlimited free drinks. Needless to…

I'm 5'1 and currently weigh 188 lbs I wear a size 16/18 pants and XL/1X shirt Before I gained all my weight I was about 115-120 lbs wore a size 9/10 in pants and a med/lg in shirts.
