| The same thing happens to me! I combat it by working out in the morning before work even if I'm only walking 30 minutes. I get out at lunch and walk again, then walk and do exercises in the evening. I do squats, crunches, side bends, and stretching. I've been able to lose weight now. Good luck. |

| Don't eat too much bread. Salads & fruit would be good. And yes, drink lots of water. Don't eat before going to bed. Good luck. |

| It's a desk job right? You should try to eat a very lite lunch. Even a protein shake would do. You don't have to go to the gym to work out. I had the same problem, so I started walking on my lunch hour 30-45 minutes a day. Then I would go home and do light aerobics a few times a week (try a DVD workout). The problem with desk jobs is that you don't burn as many calories as other jobs were you are on your feet all day. So you have to make adjustments and get used to them. It sucks! But good luck! |

| Hello,Try starting a food log (see link). A food log will help you pin-point the times of day when you're eating the most and what foods you should modify or try to reduce in your diet. It can be tedious to "honestly" record everything that you eat...but it's worth it. Also...The walking will always help and is a great habit to keep going! Best of luck.- Mike |

| Having worked in an office setting for 3 years it is hard not to gain weight when you sit all day. Don't eat junk food or drink soda obviously. Eat a good breakfast like a couple eggs and oatmeal. For lunch make a tuna sandwich on wheat and have an apple with that. When you get home, go run, jog, or even walk to get some sort of exercise. I actually built a small table so I could work standing up instead of sitting all day. Sounds pretty dumb but I was going crazy just sitting all day long. Maybe that will work for you. |
