Honest reply only !!!!!

I have lost 30.5 lbs as of today, since January 28, 2012. I have not deprived myself, nor have I used any supplements. I am just reducing my intake, and exercising. I am hoping to knock my doctor's socks off by June with a total loss of 40 by the time I see her next. At this rate, I will make it happen!!

well I'm a work in progress so no pics for you but I have lost about 25 pounds and I will down a protein shake once in a while just to get my numbers up when I'm not hungry. It's just protein its not going to make you big or bulky like everything else your going to have to put in the work.

THIS...

I drink a protein shake if I'm a little low on protein and based on how I feel. If I'm feeling a bit depleted I'll drink a protein shake (one scoop of powder equals about 22g of protein + water). As long as I'm under my daily caloric intake I have no qualms with it.

I used protein shakes only and lost 59 pounds in like 3 months in 2008. It is expensive and I gained it back then some when I went on medication that made me ravenous. I would not recommend it - it is too easy to gain it back even if I went to all the classes on behavior modification because you don't really learn to tackle your issues if you asre not eating real food. I have lost 24.5 pounds through diet alone (because I became phsically disabled in the last 2 1/2 years) since January and I have 56.5 more pounds to go. I was so big that I don't allow my photo to be taken now - it is too gross!
