What seems to be bugging you the most... the fact that her mom brought her to work out and get on the treadmill and elliptical... or the fact that there was a 12 year old with her mother in the gym... also did mom work out while daughter was on the treadmill and elliptical or did she just stand and watch her daughter do…

Well so far I have purchased one container of Whey Protein Powder to make some breakfast shakes and occasionally shakes at other times as well .. its a generic brand stocked at Wal-greens and so far I have found it delicious and will more than likely make another purchase of the same powder although I would love to find…

We use low carb Tortilla's or Sandwich thins.... make great Sammie's

I use protein drinks in the Morning for breakfast to help tied me over until Lunch when I actually eat during the week on my way to work.. as I don't have time for a real sit down breakfast ... It has been helping curb my appetite for foods I shouldn't have. before lunch. and I keep a protein bar in my lunch bag for mid…

Last night my wife and I discovered Peanut Butter and Banana and no sugar added Ice cream added together makes a great treat.. and I thought that maybe I could thin this down and actually make it into a protein shake for breakfast or for a late night ending treat.... Uses PB2, Medium Banana, and No Sugar Added Ice cream...…

Thanks Scolaris for this info.... I will have to look into Vega one and see what they offer...

I have tried the Slim Fast Advanced Protein Shake with 20g of Protein -- and I have liked that one. I have tried the Special K Protein shake -- Again I have like that one as well and the third one I tried is the…

Tash... its about moderation... you can still have the food you like.. just eat less of them.. track what you eat and eat at a deficit and you can achieve your goal of weight loss... I have not cut out any foods.. I just eat smaller portions and watch how much of something I eat... and try to make a bit more healthy…

Thanks for this info.. I will have to see if I can find this brand and see how much the cost is as well as the flavors offered before making a purchase... I have several local locations to get some from so I am trying to find out as much about what people use and recommend from having used it before I go and make a huge…

First from a Man's Stand point..... Tell the man you appreciate the thoughtfulness and his willingness to try to do this for you but that you need his help.. tell him you love him but need for him in food prep to weight out the ingredients he uses so you can account for them in your diet or ask him to leave out what he…

bump ... looking for more input... and thanks for those of you who have already been a part of this... getting closer to making that choice and coming up with ways to use it effectively in the weight loss...

Why would you be doing something that could get you hurt?

All of this has been extremely helpful and I appreciate everyone chiming in and sharing..

Its only failure if you give up... keep trying.. its only 4lbs.. and your here.. that is the first step to getting there.. your taking some steps to help you... its just a matter of making a goal each day to log your food and be as honest as possible in what you log and how much..

Walk in place.. it was something I got from a Fitbit User... it will get you those steps.. and it will get you body moving.. walk in place between customers...

Thanks @AnvilHead for the advice on this... I would also love to find out what the difference between pea protein, whey protein, soy protein etc.. etc.. etc... is and what difference it actually makes nutritionally, and how it effects taste.

Ok.. to push this back to the top and give a bit of an update and ask for some more ideas on what protein powders everyone likes... I have tried a few protein bars and found a few I like but going to be looking for a few inexpensive shakes and bottles of protein powders and now I really need to figure out what the…

Well I have tried to get the protein via food and just not making it as much as I wanted it.. so I am gonna try a few protein bars that I purchased over the weekend and see how it goes this week and will continue to do some research on the types of protein out there and will continue to ask for advice on what powders you…

I really want to make sure I am not losing muscle while working on getting the body to burn off the fat that I have acquired over the…

I get the grilled chicken sandwich with a large lemonade and add some polyniesian sauce to it... and just budget the rest of the day on those calories... although I used to get the regular chic-fil-a sandwich... and maybe some fruit for a side...

I know that I can't spot lose as much as I would honestly like to.. I also understand that for men the belly is usually the last place to go... ... I just know its easier to lose when your hitting all your macro's and still eating at a deficit. Thanks for your words on all of this... I will be looking into cost and…

Thanks everyone who has so far given their input on this... everyone has some very good insight on this.. and it sure makes me want to go spend a little money on my next shopping trip to pick some up to see if I can hit my protein macro more often.. I think it would help keep the muscle tone up and make it easier to burn…
