Nursy, are you eating 6 times a day? How much water? In that hour of exercise, are you lifting weights? I lost weight slowly at first, but when I increased my calories I lost more, and I wasn't feeling so deprived at the end of the day. Your exercise could be making you lose inches and gain muscle. You know this Ms.Nurse! (I'm a nurse too.) Go to
www.calorie-countplus.com and calculate your bmr, calories used in one day (includes everyday calories burned and exercise) and determine how many calories you should be eating. It's probably alot more than you think. Going by those calculations have really made a difference for me. Hang in there. Do you work dayshift eves or nights? Night shift can make it harder for us to lose cause our metabolism is screwed up. I also find when at work, I don't get to really space my food out like I do when I'm home cause of the busy-ness, let alone trying to pee! Let me know.
