Foods	Eating Schedules	Aug 27 2007 11:55 (UTC)	2
I also work the 3rd shift and I usually consume around 400 calories during my shift. I'll have 2 containers of yoplait with a banana around 3-4am. When I get home around 7am I have another light meal before getting to bed. Usually a granola bar and some fruit or a bowl or cereal. Around 2pm I'll have my lunch again keeping it around 300-400 calories. I'll normally have a salad and sandwich or a lean cuisine. I'll have dinner at 6pm with the family. I also snack around 200 calories in the evening before I come into work. It is a tough schedule but you can be sucessful at weight loss working this crazy shift. Listen to your body and eat when you are hungry. -Ed
Foods	One serving of fruits	Aug 27 2007 11:29 (UTC)	2
A serving of fruit is 1/2 cup. A medium-sized fruit is also considered a serving. Those apples sound like they could be 2 servings. If you want to be precise on your servings, I'd chop your pineapple, apples, watermelon, and use a measuring cup. -Ed
Weight Loss	To how many calories do you +300 cut down to ?	Aug 27 2007 10:58 (UTC)	13
When I started, I was at 379 lbs and I was eating 2000-2200 calories a day. If you are over 300 lbs, I would eat at at a minimum of 2000 calories a day and see how you feel and how you do. I have lost over 100 lbs and I am still eating 2000 calories a day. Slow and safe is the best way as we all know. -Ed

Colleen, The nearest TJ is about 45 miles from me in MA. I go there every so often. I will have to look for them the next time I am there. -Ed
Foods	Hurrah for the mighty TOMATO!	Aug 15 2007 11:00 (UTC)	23
I love tomatoes and just the other day, a friend brought me some from his garden. They were a unique variety that I never had before. They were a small yellow pear shaped kind. They were so good. I wish I could find these in the market. -Ed

I agree with dm. Play it safe and say around 700 calories. Yikes! One muffin :(
Foods	What happens if you don't refrigerate better 'n peanut butter like it says to on the package?	Aug 15 2007 10:41 (UTC)	2
Yeah, because it lacks to oils, it does have the tendency to go rancid. On another note, I just had to throw my jar away. The shelf life of that stuff is not as long as regular peanut butter. I went to use mine and found little fuzzy mold under the lid. The jar was refrigerated since I bought it and it was about 10 months old. I think the stuff should be consumed within 6 months after opening. -Ed

Foods	healthy breakfast ideas...	Aug 15 2007 10:16 (UTC)	5
The Brown N' Serve Turkey Sausages that I eat are 110 calories for 3 links. Some of my favorite Breakfast menus. 1.) 1 c. Plain non-fat yougurt with 1 c. frozen unsweetened berries. I use raspberries, blueberries, or even cherries. I mix it up and top it with 1/2 c of fiber one cereal. This holds me for a while. Total calories is around 240. 2.) 1/2 c. egg beaters scrambled with a slice of fat free cheese, chopped peppers, mushrooms, or frozen spinach. 2 slices of light wheat toast and 3 Turkey sausage links. Total calories around 300. 3.) Plain Oatmeal mixed with 1 c. unsweetened applesauce, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and then topped with 2 tbsp chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds. Total calories around 300. These are usually on my beakfast menu each week. On the day I have the egg beaters, I watch my sodium at lunch and dinner. The egg beaters, cheese, and sausage are high if sodium is a concern for you. -Ed
Weight Loss	To weigh or not to weigh?	Aug 15 2007 09:59 (UTC)	4
I would just weigh myself on Sunday morning before you leave on the scale you've been using. If you wait and use a scale at the hotel, you might not see the results you want. All scales are different. My moms scale at her house is always 3 lbs more than my scale at my house.
Foods	I miss my sausage, any alternatives?	Aug 15 2007 07:42 (UTC)	22
I use the Brown N' Serve Turkey Sausages. They are 110 calories for a serving of 3 links. They dont taste too bad either. They sell them in the frozen section with the regular Brown N' Serve breakfast sausages. -Ed

Weight Loss	How do you curb your cravings?	Jul 27 2007 05:49 (UTC)	4
When I have a sweet tooth, I give in with a snack around 100-150 calories and then have some water. Latley, I've been having an attack for a candy bar. What has helped me and kept me on plan is eating a fiber one bar followed by some water. They quench my sweet tooth and are loaded with fiber which holds me for a while.
Motivation	95lbs (43kgs) lost Before & After Pics	Jul 26 2007 10:35 (UTC)	11
Thanks for sharing your story. I've lost a little over 100 lbs. You look amazing. What a difference. I bet you feel great too. Ed
Weight Loss	walking	Jul 26 2007 10:18 (UTC)	15
Walking is great. I'm not one of those that walk 10 miles a day. I walk about 2 miles a day in about 30 minutes and it burns around 200 calories. They way I figure, 200 cal x 7 days is 1400 calories burned in a week. I've lost over 100 lbs so something must be right. I think every little effort helps. Walking 2 miles a day instead of sitting on the couch will surely assist in your efforts. Ed

Hi Solo, This is a great place. I find the more I visit, the more I stay focused and with my program. I also have it set to my home page in my web browser. I eat around 2100 cals a day. I've lost just over 100 lbs and would like to lose another 70 to get myself around 200 lbs. Good Luck and Welcome. Ed
