I have just started using MFP over the weekend and looking for some pals, maybe in the Aberdeen area? Ive got over 100lbs to lose and need some motivational friends

Im currently using the Juice Plus shakes to help me eat better, anyone else using them?

Hi Kimmy,

Welcome to the board, I'll help if I can so add me if you like. I do have an opinion on those shakes though - I think you're doing it tough if they are comprising the majority of your eating and I think they just don't fill that same sensation you get from actually chewing, swallowing and enjoying real food. If you want to use them then I would only do that as a replacement for when your out or in a hurry and need a quick meal. With the tools on this site you have a clear daily allowance and there is a wealth of choice of food you can eat which will sate your apatite and probably do more good for your body as well. Anyway that's just my 2 cents for what it's worth - I'm not anti meal replacement I just think they should only be an occasional use item. If your you're still not feeling full then protein is one way to achieve that - the body has to work harder to break that down and it keeps you feeling fuller longer, so maybe a small can of tuna (in spring water), an egg etc between meals - just keep an eye on how much you're eating though. Anyway nice to meet you and hope I didn't come across as a know it all because if I did know it all I wouldn't be here
