well i totally understand wher you are coming at about the germs i am the same way.. anyway yes you will probably continue to lose weight if you do that my suggestion is to maybe drink a protein drink during the day you dont have to touch the consuming part with your hands lol they have good stuff you can try BOOST or some others they have them at Walmart and GNC ..just make sure you get in your vitamins and protein every day so you dont end up getting sick ..Good Luck!

it probably will keep going on. maybe you should bring ur own lunch... or just eat a whole lot more at night.

it depends if you are more active there. Most likely you are not meeting your caloric need for the day. At minimum you should start eating breakfast, and possibly more high calorie foods (i dont mean a whopper though, im talking good calories) this will probably help. If not, i would get checked out by a doctor to see if it is not something more serious.

I don't really know how much a stone is, but maybe you are just losing fat and gaining muscle, I don't blame you I don't think I could eat working in a nursing home either, but I guess just try to eat more after work, and if you keep losing too much weight than you should see a doctor. good luck

YES u will keep losing weight until ur body will adjust to this lifestyle. u will not become anorexic as ur eating healthy at home. My best friend does not eat breakfast either - she didnt die ...so nothing will happen to you. BUT you will feel cranky, annoyed and tired all day due to low blood sugar level.

Your OK -- the only thing you have to avoid is Binge Eating when you are not at work. You think your hungry when you just ate and you eat more ... Find liquids that you like and drink when you feel llike binge eating -- V8 -- Gatorade -- fruit juice -- Lemonade -- water with ice...

When you eat breakfast you actually loose weight because you get all that enegy from that food trough out the day.THat's what makes you move more.When you don't eat breakfast you feel weak and when you feel weak you hardly move and thats when you gain calories then calories turn into pounds and thats when you sart to gain weight.I would recommend to eat breakfast cereal,oatmeal,tuna fish,eggs something that has protien for enegey but not so fat.Good luck.

Just by curiosty.. what is stone? Do you mean you passed kidney stones?

Bring your lunch and eat outside or away from others if you are uncomfortable. Go out for a quick lunch or bring a meal replacement with you to work (such as ensure). You need your strength. Are you going to make working with the elderly a career?..it doesn't sound like you are comfortable in that setting. The elderly need very special care and upbeat people around them. Try bringing a hand sanitizer in a small bottle with you to work. As long as you keep you hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes...you should do fine. You sound a bit stressed....it may be some of the reason you are losing weight.

I honestly don't know.
Let me know will ya?
BTW, a stone is 14 pounds, my BF is English.
