  • My all-time favorite, barring calories, is eggs, bacon/sausage and whole-grain toast with coffee. For the last 6 months, I have had a Click protein shake, using skim milk, hot.

I'm getting excited to "get on with it" and move on with my life -- instead of the hoping and planning for the last six months. I've…
