I use this... http://www.gnc.com/GNC-Pro-Performance-AMP-Amplified-Wheybolic-Extreme-60-Original/product.jsp?productId=41785896&cp=3593186.45669936.3593187.45670596.2108294 It's 20g of protein per scoop, serving size is 3 scoops. However, I've heard that your body can only absorb about 26 grams of protein at a time, so I…

I've just sent you a friend request. I too have gained weight over the years and medication has been a big culprit, but enough is enough. It's time to take back control. We got this!

I don't know if this will help, but on MFP it says NOT to enter your values into fitbit, that MFP will sync with fitbit.

I don't eat them anymore, but I used to love the new oreo thins in mint flavor... tastes like a thin mint girl scout cookie or a grasshopper cookie.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking your first step by joining MFP, that tells me your serious about this. My best recommendation is to log - everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. I have psoriatic arthritis and right now I can only push past the pain in 10 min increments for exercising which frustrates me to no end.…

I used to get a lg. iced mocha with cream and 3 splenda. I logged it and was blown away by how many calories, fat, etc. were in it (way more than I estimated). I switched to a lg. iced coffee with cream and 5 splenda, again the cream got me with the fat/calories. So now when I go to Dunkin' Donuts I get a lg. iced coffee…

What do you all think about egg foo young with either pork or chicken? It's egg based with veg and meat with a gravy on the side...

I've been at this for 10 days. I log every thing, the good and the bad. I see where I can make adjustments and where I've done good. Don't give up on yourself. It takes about 21 days to form a habit (and break one). Give yourself at least that long, but fully commit to it. If at the end you still want to quit, then so be…

I have 119 lbs to go. Feel free to add me as I try to give support and motivation where I can.

I agree with LloydGK... A person's weight fluctuates from day to day from many different factors. Water weight, muscle tone, bowel movements, etc. I weigh once a week, on a hard surface like my bathroom floor, and log it once a week. It gives me something to look forward to and not obsess over.

What adding in a protein shake? You can buy them RTD, or buy a shaker container. Most of them you can mix with water or even milk. The best shaker I've seen is something like this... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MVMCUK8?keywords=shaker%20bottle&qid=1453128535&ref_=sr_1_4&s=sports-and-fitness&sr=1-4 Any one that has…

Saturday was rough for me as I went to my in-laws and she doesn't know the meaning of the word 'healthy' cooking. So, I tried to fill up on green beans and a few more ounces of ham, skipping the rest of the 'bad' stuff. Yet, I still had a biscuit, which I beat myself up over. But Sunday was just like the rest of the week,…

Hi there! Good luck on your journey. Feel free to add me, I always try to give encouragement and positive feed back.

Hi! My highest weight was 323, I'm now 284 and have 119 lbs. to go. I'm happy to give encouragement and help, feel free to add me. We got this!

Bear, Delaware via Washington State where I grew up. Feel free to add me if you want encouragement and support. :)

When I started logging everything I almost fell outta my chair when I saw how many calories/fat/carbs were in it. My fav. coffee is a large iced mocha with cream and 3 splenda from dunkin donuts. So I switched to a large iced coffee with cream and 5 splenda... still too much. Now I'm happy with milk and splenda but it was…

I have 135 lbs. to loose. I've lost 13 so far. My motivation is strong at this point but I know I'll need support along the way. I'm good at giving encouragement, so if you want, add me.

Hi, I'm looking to add friends that are motivating and need motivation. I don't want to be just a name on a list. Feel free to ad me.

If you're dead set on mixing protein powder with v-8 you might want to try vanilla or an unflavored version. I would not recommend chocolate though. It just doesn't sound very good.

I don't know much about it but I've heard of chair yoga. Might be something to look into if you have painful joints.

Forgive yourself and realize that each day is a new beginning. So you didn't do so great today, that doesn't mean you can't do better tomorrow. I am logging everything, the good and the bad, and making adjustments accordingly. Like my favorite coffee is a large iced mocha with cream and 3 splenda from Dunkin' Donuts. I…

Hi! I got mine for Christmas, and I really like it. Feel free to add me if your looking for a weight-loss buddy. https://www.fitbit.com/user/45Y8LQ

Wow, it's so awesome to see so many people that have the same goals I do. I lost 30 lbs in Nov. but gained them all back in Dec., because of all the holiday baking. However, this is a new year, new beginning and anything is possible if you put your mind to it. My hubby bought me a fit-bit for Christmas and I've just synced…
