I get where you're coming from. I am looking to lose 174 pounds. I hit my peak in 06 and since then have lost roughly 70 pounds. I didn't track my first 30 pounds and it took me about 2 years to lose it. I have since lost another 46 pounds and have been tracking this time. It's coming off faster and more permanent. It's a…

I looked up the Spirutein and it looks pretty good. I'm thinking I need to get some. They have cherry flavored! That's my second favorite flavor...next to peanut butter!

I have quite a few friends who struggle with their water intake, so I completely understand where you're coming from. I, on the other hand, am a water drinker. Try putting a slice of lime or lemon in there. Those Crystal Lite packets will also help you with your intake. Green tea is also a good source. However, you want to…

Yeah, I'm pretty picky about my soy products. The ones I eat are pretty good. I want to know where you got this chocolate peanut butter stuff. I would like to get some of that!

Fabulous! Thanks guys! I will check out the other forum post and that website.

I do have soy protein powder for shakes, which I need to get back into the habit of using. I usually eat one serving of peanut butter or nut butter a day. I like venison but it's super rich (which gives me an upset stomach) so I don't eat too much of it. I love eggs and eat them quite a bit. Are there more plant based…

I shop there all the time! They have very lean ground turkey for $2.50 out here in Minnesota. The veggies rock that I get there! I do prefer to buy a few things at the Trader Joe's (soy milk) or Whole Foods (soy yoghurt). I always recommend people to go there!

I'm a bit of a water drinker. For the most part, I would rather have a glass of water than anything else. I have 3 daily requirement of water bottles (2.3 liters each). I keep one at work, one at home and one in my car. My daily goal is to drink 2 of those. A nutritionist told me that I need to drink an extra serving of…

Here's my dilemma. I am going home for Thanksgiving and it's tradition that my dad and I along with 2 people we select that year, go to the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game, which includes tailgating starting at 9:00am. We're doing breakfast and bloody marys so I don't think I will have much problem with that, but my…

I drink water straight out of the tap as well. I also love a good greasy spoon! I tend to eat more whole grains and "healthy" stuff but I've always been a person who would choose the veggies and doesn't like white bread and tend to eat a diet closer to a vegetarian. That's my choice though and I don't push it on anyone…

You look AWESOME!

Welcome! I'm looking to build my network so if you are as well, feel free to friend me!

I sprained my ankle at the beginning of October and I felt the same way. I was super busy and hadn't been to the gym in about 2 weeks, was going to start going back to the gym at the beginning of October, sprained my ankle, and was just able to get back to the gym. I did go a few weeks ago, but my ankle just wasn't up to…

I've been trying to get healthy for about 3 years and it's been rough. The first thing I realized was that I have to be happy and in the right place, both physically and mentally. So, I picked up and moved back to Minneapolis and that helped me along! Since my move last year, I have lost over 40 lbs! I have basically…

Wow! Way to go! What did you do to help break through the plateau? I've been told, and found that its relatively true, that if you up your water intake, you will break the plateau.

I'm still looking to add people to my network!

Heehee! Thanks everyone! And yes, that IS Luke Perry! Just in case you are wondering, he's really really really short.

I'm accepting friends as well! I am looking for support to keep me going! :)
