Eating at night
 

My brother has a degree in fitness...one thing he told me was to make sure to eat around the same times each day so your body is on a regular metabolic schedule.

I think, Kimberly, if you normally go to bed at 2am, eating at 7pm isn't bad. I'd say try not to eat too much within 2 hours before you go to bed. For me, I am off of work at 9pm and get to bed between 11pm-midnight, so I usually have something like sugar free jello or a bown of high-fiber, low fat cereal. I tell myself if I want to eat veggies, eat all I want before bed because I need them anyway.

My big problem is at work though...I get the munchies big time!

Kim- As long as you're still active for awhile after you eat, it shouldn't be that bad for you. Most of the time, they say not to eat past 6, but that's when they assume that you go to bed at like 9 or 10. If you are hungery... actually, they say, I think it's something like 1/2 the time you think you are hungry, you are actually thursty. So try drinking water. another good thing... that Smart Pop popcorn I think is a point or so (if you're following WW) for the whole bag, which isn't much!

I know it's not good to lose so much weight... I wasn't really saying it was a good thing:) I was soo totally sick tuesday, tho, that I came home from work at 2:30 and slept mainly til 6:45 the next morning. I Don't know what it was. Some sort of 24-hour thing... but it was horrible!!! I'm glad it's over!! But I Am happy that my appetite isn't back to normal yet. I'm still sorta feeling sick after I eat, so I'm not as tempted to do so. But don't worry, I'm eating enough:)

Ok, so I must ask... Where are you guys finding this Jamba Juice, because it sounds very good!! I like those frozen smoothie things. And you say a 12 oz is 3 points? I can handle that for breakfast!! Watch... my luck, they won't have them here in the Midwest. :P

Oh, well. I hope everyone had a good day!!

So that's where I got it!
 

Seren Dee!! I must have caught this thing from you!!!!


Yes, what is Jamba Juice anyway?

Any Chocolate Lovers???

I like peppermint patties, but I found these new dark chocolate mints. They are the best I've ever had, and I think they come out to 1 point for two of them because two have 5 grams of fiber! They are found in the kosher section of the grocery store, and the brand is Manshiewitz ..I can't spell it...but they are the best, richest chocolate mints I've ever had! There are 10 in a box I think, so the whole box would be only five points..but they are so creamy and rich that two is enough!

Just thought you'd like to know!

Hey girls...
Hope all of you are doing okay. I think I'm weighing in at about 169ish now...don't know. I really need to get a scale I can trust.

Haven't eaten anything yet today. Meant to have the other half of my subway sandwich for lunch when I got to work, but I accidentally stuck it in the freezer instead of the fridge, so it's rock solid! Waiting for it to thaw out...

I'm so proud of myself for going so well for about 2 weeks now, only made a mistake at one meal. I've really been watching it. I think I'll take the time to get in some exercise this weekend. I'll ride my bike, or go roller skating. I also have to clean house, and with how messy it is, I'll probably work up a sweat doing that, as well! I have a lot of errands to run and homework to do, too. Looks like their little time for fun in my schedule lately... :(

Have an OP weekend! I'll post again on Monday!

New thread, because we can!! :)

Hey all
 

Hey guyz,

Just thought I'd drop by and see how everybody is doing. From the looks of it, everybody seems to be doing well. I'm doing pretty good. It's my last week of classes, and then finals. Yay for me. Anybody else heading for finals as well?

Well, let me see, for the past week I've been doing a lot more walking, drinking more water, trying to keep away from the chocolate, fried foods and it seems to be working for now. As soon as it becomes a lil' more warmer at night, I wanna start bike riding again. That will pretty much be my workout for the summer. I'm taking care of my aunts place for a couple of months (in the city) so, I'll be able to either walk or bike to the river everyday. Which will be a nice change . . . .

I'm trying to do this by myself but, starting to think that maybe I should join WW. Anybody recommend it? I have done WW in the past but, that was a looong time ago and I'm sure it has changed quite a bit. Congrats Charlotte! Good for you. I think I am gonna start weighing myself in again, only problem is i have no idea how well the scale is, whether it's right or not.

Anyways, hope everybody is doing well.

weekends are evil
 

I was soooo bad, guys. I don't think I put any weight back on, but I was bad. I'm weighing about 167ish these days. Yay! But this weekend, oh man....

I went to McDonald's and Denny's on Saturday. Then, KFC and Taco Bell on Sunday. But, I could tell my stomach had shrunk because I picked at most of the food...and I got full so easily. I'm back on track again today, though. I'm sure at 3:00 I'll be off to Subway for my daily sandwich. I think it'll be roast beef today. Oh yeah, I also drank about ten sodas this weekend! My body is craving water badly!

Hope you all did better than myself. I'm getting really stressed lately, with two big exams coming up, two term papers, working is starting to pick up again (12 hour work days, plus school), and friends are upset with me for not seeing them enough. It's just overwhelming to have to watch what I eat as well. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to do it! I felt so disgusted with myself after I ate all of that....

New day, though, and I'm going to fix it!

Morgan--A lot of people seem to have success on WW, but it all depends on your lifestyle and what you can handle. Exercise and eating right will always get you there, no matter what plan you're on. Remember that it is only healthy to lose about 2 lbs a week (except in the beginning when you lose excess water), so if impatience is the problem, it would probably be a bad idea to change what you're doing.
Just realize that whatever plan you go with isn't temporary, but a permanent change in you're eating habits that you have to (more or less) stick to for the rest of your life to remain a healthy weight. Good luck!!!

Kim,

Thanx for the advice. I just thought I'd ask, it just seems that it's really working for everybody in here that and I have NO idea how the points thing works and it sounds like a really good thing. Wish everybody the best. Have a good week guyz.
