I usually eat a bowl of oatmeal with some skim milk and splenda or a dab of brown sugar. Sometimes a bannana.
I usually eat salad with about 1/2 cup of tuna and some no fat dressing or some cottage cheese around 1 pm when I get a break. I keep low calorie snacks around and fruit to nibble on until I get home. Sometimes I cave and eat at around 6 pm at the hospital where I work. The evening hours are my hardest. I get off work at about 8pm or so and have to think of something to eat every nite late.
Oprah says not to eat after 6 pm. My day is not over at 6 pm and I would totally be starving if I didnt have supper after I get home. Do you have any suggestions for late nite meals which are low fat and satisfying. Also, why does Oprah think its important not to eat after 6 pm?

Hey guys,
Um.... well, for the past 3-4 months I've lost 30 lbs and kept it off. I now have a small layer of fat over some hard tissue over my abdomen (I've felt it... its pretty hard, but I think it would be arrogant to call it muscle, it's hard to see until I turn at an angle and flex). When I was burning fat, I severly cut back on my calories and I think I lived off 500-700 calories a day. Now my reasoning is that I can eat more food (I've partially lifted a ban on junk food like Subway, McDonalds and Coldstone Creamery, stuff I would never touch when I was trying to really lose weight) because I do more muscle development exercise like crunches and weight lifting and all that.
My Question is: Should I revert to burning fat to get rid of that small fat layer while cutting back on calories again, or should I continue eating more calorie/energy laden food in order to promote muscle growth.
If you think I am doing this all wrong, feel free to recommend something else

I dont know why I hate my self very much. Whatever I do I never feel proud of it or satisfy with the results. I hate how I look, although people say that I'm cute, funny, bla..bla.bla..! The thing is I dont think I'm not as good as they say.

Everytime I lok at the mirror I hate what I see. If I did something I never think "It's good!". What's wrong with me?

My hubby close to this Russian model, which apprently she's one of his studens. He said that there's nothing beetween them, but I keep telling my self that he's cheating on me. I'm ugly that's why he's cheating on me with the Russian girl.

My marriage is in the bottom of the rock and part of it because of me. My negativity (spelling???). It's difficult for me to let go the past as well makes it even worse.

Oh, I'm so confused, sad, desperate. I just want to be happy and normal. Please help me...

I've been smoking regularly, two to three times a day for about one and a half, to two years....somewhere around there. I smoked a lot! I am looking to turn my life around....getting a great job!! I need your best input on how to pass a urine analysis. The test will be done in an actual hospital...where I will be working. Will it be urine??? I hope so. Don't know what else they would do. Can I just drink tons of water and exercise a lot and hope to pass? If I fail once, I can never apply for this job again....>EVER! I need to appear clean. Please help.

When your ill, even from a cold or something, why do you feel worse in the morning and in the evenings but can feel alright in the day?

Is it to do with the cycle of hormones? Exhaustion? Lowing Immune System?

I just always wondered why ^_^

I noticed that restaurant food is never as satisfying as a meal made by your own hands or somebody you know personally? Should I see a psychiatrist or this common? lol

I have to get up at 5 am to be at work by 7, then I get off around 8 or 9 pm. I walk all day long as a nurse and am so wiped out, it seems ridiculous to try to exersize when I get home late at nite. I do have 2-3 days off a week.
Ideally, I will lose about 75 lbs to get down to my normal weight. I have cut out fast food. No candy or junk food, cut out all the pop and resorted to iced tea with Splenda or water.
I have started weight watchers and am trying to get healthy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have a heart problem and cannot do aerobic exersize and am on a beta blocker.
Can you give me some ideas to lose weight. I have to face my heart doctor in May and has encouraged me to tone up and slim down.

I'm 17 and I used to not take care of my teeth. Now I brush my teeth every day and I went to the dentist about a month ago for a cleaning. She cleaned my teeth and now I brush 3 times a day. She said my gums were inflamed but that they would be ok as long as I brush and floss. However, I realized that when I push my teeth really hard and then push them with my tongue, they feel like they kinda move but I cant actually see them move. Is it normal to feel that? Would my dentist have said something if my teeth are loose? She also took x-rays. And you know how your gums are also between your teeth. It looks like the gums around one of my teeth arent as long, like some of the gum disapeared but not that much. How serious is that. Is it too late to save all of my teeth from falling out? This is all that i think about now.
