Thanks everyone. My work schedule makes things a bit harder. For instance, it would be tough for me to eat 5 small meals a day because I work a lot of 12 hour night shifts. So, I sleep, go to work, come home, sleep, go back to work. I was looking at weight watchers as a possibility. I don’t do well with counting all the calories, fat, sodium, etc. The points system seems easier to work with and keep track of. I need something that doesn’t take a lot of my time(ie counting all the nutrition facts or spending a long time preparing meals), will still allow some indulgences (in moderation) and obviously has to be something I can stick to for the long term. I think it would be best if Dom we’re to jump on the bandwagon with me. It would be hard for me to get in shape if he’s still doing the same old thing. It’s much easier to stick with a plan if there isn’t temptation at home.

GOOD FOR YOU! I know its hard to get back into, I havent lifted since mid high school. (im 26) Im 5’8 and in high school I weighed roughly 150lbs, size 12/13 pants bc its all ass and thighs…but all muscle.

I now weight about 140lbs and im a size 6/8 and feel so sloppy and lazy. My work schedule is crazy too. I work 2 jobs 6 days a week. It sucks. And as for the work thing, trust me I know, but since you work so much you shouldnt be eating a lot.

And it all starts at home! If your tempted at home…get rid of it!!!

Im a big snacker, so now all i buy is yogurt, sugar free pudding, rice cakes, bananas, dried fruits, ect. If you get tempted at least eat the right things!

I have a candy bar on the island in the kitchen a 5lb box of jellybeans in a vase in the living room, with a candy jar on the coffee table…I eat maybe 10pcs of mnms a week…talk about temptation!

you can do it!!! but only if your willing to try.
