    @ganival I’m using the LeanFit from Costco. It’s honestly not the best tasting but it’s ok and the price is right.
    I find when I do frozen berries I can taste it less. Oddly as well if I use a blender instead of a shaker cup it tastes better in milk.

    I’ve also been using it to make protein ice cream for my Ninja Creami

    Protein ice cream sounds interesting...

    Hi it says you need to complete 30 min of running , 30 min of strength & 30 min of stretching for the next term
    I'm unable to run - my knees can't take it and just doing a yoga program without weights - would I still be able to join?

    Well I officially have lost 5lbs in 3 weeks due to my new workout program using only body weight and flushing out inflammation- I wore a skirt today to church that I haven't been able to fit in for over 3 years
    I'm pretty proud I was able to finally get going again it's been very hard & frustrating to not be able to lose weight just the same 2lbs on & off

    Well done! I also have a stack of clothes that I can’t wait to fit into again. How often do you do the workout?

    The program is 5 days a week for 20 min/day, but I don't keep to that - I also go to my yoga studio 2x/week along with rest days so I follow what is to be done on the day I left off - not overtraining my body which seems to be responding

    ~ My “No Drinking” rule was getting more and more difficult because family has been coming over just to test out their “signature” drinks they’re making for my birthday party coming up Saturday. I chose my favorite finally… so no more of that. We’re going to have two drinks now, because I like tequila and there’s not a ton of people who do

    @lolakinks - I read a post from someone yesterday who was just starting out on MFP and said she was only seeing up and down movement. Two experienced people - who had sustained major weight loss of about 100 pounds each - encouraged her to focus on 5-10 pound goals. One person said that it takes 4-6 weeks to start seeing a pattern. It’s frustrating but slower loss is more likely to be sustained and may reduce stretch marks and loose skin. So, I like to think about the process as a new way of eating and moving instead of a temporary ‘weight loss’ diet. It’s certainly not easy and that’s why we’re here to support one another— Wishing you the best!

    @Pupowl — Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photos. I especially loved the orange and yellow flower photos yesterday and the mushroom above.

    @lolakinks I agree with what the others have said. I recommend poking around in some of the other forums and reading what some of the long time MFP users post. I particularly like AnnPT77. She is in her late 60's, has lost a considerable amount of weight and has kept if off for several years. She responds with excellent advice almost daily to people making posts similar to yours.

    Following on what @Pupowl said about increasing your activity. Here is the link to a thread started by Ann with tons of ideas on how to increase your daily activity without doing formal exercise. Even small amount of calories burned add up.

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10610953/neat-improvement-strategies-to-improve-weight-loss/p1

    I'll see if I can find a few more links for you. I have found that many othe MFP users can say something so much better than I ever could. Hang in there!

    @DaffyGirl88 – Yes! AnnPT77 gives sage advice and she’s always so supportive and respectful. I saw that NEAT thread with many helpful suggestions. Thanks for the reminder and link!
