Hi, scropio37. 3 lbs is excellent! Don’t forget – one of the major points of this program is for the weight loss to be slow, so that it will be permanent. You are on the right track – please don’t get discouraged 🙂

Hi, scropio37. It looks like you are on the right track. It won’t happen right away, but just ease into it. Some adjustments need to be made along the way, but it will eventually feel more natural. With the eating pattern you tried – one good meal with 5 minis, do be sure you are not short-changing yourself on foods or amounts.

Hi, scropio37. Is there a reason you start your day around 12 pm and eat late into the night? If it is a work schedule issue, you can assign whatever times you want to the meals, i.e. breakfast at 12 or 1 pm, etc., then your last snack in the wee hours of the morning. As for fitting in all the meals, some Club members sip on shakes as snacks – here are some recipes to get you started https://www.trimdownclub.com/?s=shake&post_type=recipe. Along the way, you may find you can just pre-bag various items to eat during breaks – nuts, fruit, crackers and cheese, etc.
If your schedule is a result of habit, I would encourage you to try to gradually reset your clock to start and end at earlier hours. The body reacts to the sun’s cycle, and your metabolism may actually slow down if you stay up and wake up late. Again, if this is because of a job, it cannot be avoided – you may be able to combat it by fitting in some physical activity during the later hours.
