At least 6-8, this made a big difference for me! You aren't getting a balanced diet. I don't like to do Soups for supper, they don't seem to stick with me for long. Get in a piece of meat and some vegetables! I'm going to really stress the Water thing! I use crystal light packets, otherwise I don't like to drink water at all! Water is so essential for your skin also. I don't have any excess skin hanging and I attribute that not only to exercise but to keeping my skin hydrated! it's amazing what water does for your body!

Take your current weight and divide it in half and that is the amount of Water in oz that you should drink in a day. If you don't drink enough, your body will conserve water and retain it.

tuna and cheese Snacks are portable. I don't eat until I get to work either. And I am also up at 5am or earlier. Also, what about pre cooking a package of turkey bacon or some turkey or chicken sausage? You can grab and go and even eat in the car if needed. Sounds like you are definitely short on calories and Water. But it also sounds like you're on a mission to work on it. If you're willing to do that you can make it happen! Wishing you lots of luck!

Be careful eating in a car. I learned the hard way. Keep plastic bags paper towels and pineapple juice in case you have to pull over

You said it! I keep wet wipes in there. I'm totally spill prone. I only eat in the car when I absolutely have no other option, otherwise I wait until I am at work and can eat on a level surface! :-)

Eating on a motorcycle would certainly be interesting! Nope you don't have to have meat just Protein and watch your carb intake. When I think protein I automatically think meat because I'm such a carnivore and I was trying to think of something you can grab and go. :-)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
