I think it depends on the person. Because of my hectic work schedule and because I really didnt eat anything but chicken nuggets 2 meals a day I would say no its not impossible to lose weight eating fast food and candy. Take me for example who like I said used to eat atleast 2 meals a day fast food or out to eat. Now I am…

First of all how old are you? I am almost 21 and have noticed that pretty all of a sudden I started to gain weight in my midsection. The doctor said it could be 1 of 2 natural reasons. 1 as we age our bodies slow down the metabolism. So what we could eat when we were younger and not have to worry about- we now do.…

I am a 20 year old in the same boat as you. I don't have the time to go to the gym - yes you heard it. I work 8am-8:15pm monday through Saturday, and on Sundays and at night I work on my homework. I work an office job so I have found that it is easy for me to take to the stairwell at work and run up and down a few times.…

Can anyone give me the basics on using a food scale? I know that in my fitness pal a lot of the items are logged by amount ie 1/3 cup, 1/2 oz, etc. so how do you log with a food scale?

I haven't found a workout routine that is available to my schedule. I work 12 hour days then come home and do college homework. Not sure how to open my food…

Hopefully in the near future I will be able to get into the rhythm of preparing my meals. So I will take in this information to be used later. Right now I am looking for quick things. First on the list are sandwiches, frozen meals, and I found some yummy looking "sandwiches" that instead of break they are rolled up in…

Thank you for both of your replies. I will definitely try eating sandwiches and will look at the sodium content on packages of frozen food before buying. Any other tips that have aided in your weight loss thus far? I am pretty new at all of this.

I am a very picky eater and that sounds good! Thanks for the advice

Yikes! Did not mean to make so many people angry over this. I work 2 jobs and go to college. So my weekends are spent resting for 13+ hour work days Monday - Saturday and doing my college work. This leaves very little time to look up recipes, and make meals for an entire week. I am a very picky eater - which I hope to…
