One thing that has been working for me lately is drinking a slimfast shake for breakfast and eating a protein bar for lunch. you have to make sure you get the slimfast "advanced nutrition" shakes that have 1g of sugar...the original ones are much higher in sugar. The protein bars I've been eating for lunch are "One" brand (maple glazed flavor) and they also have only 1g sugar...and believe it or not, they're pretty tasty and really filling.

I actually started the slimfast shake thing, not to lose weight, but because they were quick, simple and cheap. Between that and the protein bar, as long as I'm not a complete dumbass at dinner time, I've been losing a couple of pounds/week.

Thanks James ill try that too. I think there will be a few simple things that will help. Like walking or jogging a more, water and portion control. The in between meals junk is a problem and soft drinks on night shift. If I can get a handle on that it will be a big step. Gona try that shake and bar too.

I make my own trail mix and take that for snacking on. Granola bars, Nutri-grain bars and pieces of fruit are some other suggestions.
