New to the comunity and a question

mistyrpacheco Posts: 2 Joined: 2006/09/14	2007/02/24, 12:33 AM Hello. My question is, how can I lose the weight and keep it off while working at a 24hr job? I just started this 8 wk weight loss program and seeing if it will give me results. I done som many other ways and the weight does not come off. I guess what i really need is some guidence because I cannot do this alone. So if some one wants to help out (preferably a woman)I would appreciate it much. Again Hello. -------------- Misty R Pacheco

Have a good luck round the stickies and try to take it all in, there's a ton of information available here that might answer the question for you. Good luck!

Obviously, you have to sleep sometime. You also have to be determined to make a change and to make time in your schedule. For me, I initially started working out after work but didn't like how much that cut into my evening personal time, so I forced myself to started waking up at 4:00 a.m. and get my workout over in the mornings. It is now a routine that I love. I know some other people who go to the gym on their lunch hour. Since I have no idea what kind of job you have that requires 24 hours of your time, I don't know how to help you. Didn't I read in your log that you had lost 2 pounds since Tuesday? That's a great start. I'm at the point where if I can lose 1 lb. in one month's time I'm ecstatic.

But anyways, to answer your question msmogreen, my job is 24hr child care facility. Basically a children's home. Yes i do sleep, but very little when i'm on duty which is almost all the time because what this facility calls me and my husband is main house parents. I' m basically the mother of 11 children from 0 to 4 yrs. 12 counting my son.I spend half of my time cleaning and going to appointments or family visits. there is hardly any time for me. I'm up at 5:30 and asleep by 12 o 1 in the morning. I'm children are in bed at 8 and from then on i do paper work to turn in the next morning. :( There you go. what can you tell of that?
