lately, i haven't been able to get sufficient sleep (i'm a grad student with approximately 342323 extracurricular activities going on at any given time) so i rely on caffeine/sugar to get through the day.  this doesn't work so well, and i crash sometime around 7 pm, and end up eating a lot of sweets in the evening.  i'm ramping down my caffeine intake, but i still find myself carb-loading at night for no reason other than that i'm tired.

obviously, one issue is that i need to sleep more, and another one is to not keep red-light foods in my apartment.  i did order some fruit flavored decaf teas that i can sip at night instead of going for chocolate or cookies whatever.

i have a few questions:

1) does anyone have suggestions on how to snack when tired (like, as a general strategy)?  i have heard that when you're tired it's best not to rely on quick carbs + caffeine and instead opt for more protein-filled snacks.  does anyone know if that's the case?

2) what are your favorite low-point snacks that you have in the evening?

3) how do i break the habit of snacking at night in front of the computer? any ideas would be super appreciated...i just noticed i've gotten into the habit of doing this the other day, so i'm trying to break it before it gets any more ingrained.

thanks!

I suffer from anxiety.. So there are days when I am so blah I don't feel good enough to do things. Therefore working out has not been on my To-do list for these past days.. -__-

But I have not gained weight.

I had a horrible break up 2 years ago and I let myself go but eating everything bad! I was always a fit girl, always worked out and ate right. Now I am getting back on track of things. Ive been eating super clean for the past 2 weeks and lost weight already. As far as me exercising, I work out using a fitness ball. I am beyond motivated. Summer is coming up and I want to wear shorts & skirts =[ I am bottom heavy. So my I gained a lot on my thighs. 29% of body fat I have & it needs to go!!

I love to cook & bake. All healthy stuff I will be posting picture & recipes of mine to share. I want to stay motivated, So I hope this community will do just that!

Hi, I'm Helen and I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I joined WW (for about the 5th time in my life) back on 21st Jully 2011, so Ihave been on ProPoints for some time now. Our leader Gwen weighs us in Stones and pounds (14 pounds in 1 Stone) so I will refer to both in my weight losses (I  hope!)

Start weight : 18st 0lbs (252lbs)

Weight now : 14st 0lbs (196lbs)


This summer my daughter will be 18, and to celebrate we are going for a vacation to Walt Disneyworld, Florida. Although we have been there a number of times, I have never been slim, so that is my focus and my goal. I still have a way to go but I know that the closer I get to target the harder it will be to lose the pounds. I hope that by joining this community I can keep mu motivation high :-)

Age:18

Starting Lbs: 178

I currently am a member of weight watchers, and i do the tummy tuck band twice a day!
I also take bee pollen once a day, also vitamin E.

Good Luck Everybody!

My work Christmas party is this Saturday and the menu looks so dangerous. I need help with estimating PPVs and making a plan. I really don't want to go overboard!

( The food...Collapse )

I'm thinking of:

1. Eating something small right before I go so I'm not starving.
2. Having three light beers or vodka/Diet Cokes throughout the night, so 12 PPV.
3. Having a little plate of 0 PPV veggies, a crab/avocado shooter, and chicken skewer for appetizers.
4. Having the dinner but skipping the gravy/sauce (if possible - at least scraping it off) and rolls and maybe 1/2 cup of the risotto.
5. Having the cheesecake martini, because I will be so upset if I have to miss out on that.

My goal is to use no more than 35 PPV total, so 23 on food after subtracting the 12 PPV from alcohol.

Any ideas on PPV estimations? I'm so lost and I'm really trying to get back on track. This holiday season is killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ♥

Hi everyone, I've just joined LJ to write about my (hopeful) weight loss. If anyone would like to add my journal please feel free to do so and perhaps we can help buddy each other along. :-)

I also have PCOS aswell and would be very interested in hearing from other people in a similar situation who are attempting to lose weight.
