My "secret breakfast" is 8 oz strong coffee (espresso) mixed in a blender with 2 packets of vanilla "Z Pro 25" from Natural Health Labs and ice and water. It makes 2 liters of a strong coffee-flavored drink. That espresso jolts me awake, and the Z Pro 25 is high in protein. It's roughly 286 calories, 50 units of protein.

Try the Ancient Grains Almond Granola from Costco. It has no cafeene, but it will solve the constipation issue. Tastes good too.

Exactly

I was over 300 at the top, went down to 241 and now back up to 260.... it's a never ending process, but worthwhile doing. Keep up the great work, your story is an inspiration in itself !!

Thank you for the update, and even though we don't know each other, it's great to hear your going to be fine.

Good to hear your going to be fine (even if it hurts for a bit)

""Could it be that this doesn't work on everyone?"" No, it could not. This formula applies to every living creatureincluding us. There are no exceptions. If your metabolism is statistically low, your by definition not "burning" as many calories. But as someone previously pointed out, this is basic physics. Personally, it's…

Leanne Don't give up !! Every day you log all your food is a step toward your goal. So if you missed a couple days, now you can get back onto the program. Each of us has to begin where we actually are in weight, so commencing from today, you can move forward. Every single person has ups and downs. We all do. Most of us…

Sammy, If you working out hard and long enough to be a competitive body builder, you can obviously eat a lot more than most folks (because of the calories your burning working out). Focus on the Calorie total for the day. Use common sense in what you eat. More fruit and veggies means you can eat more volume for the same…

Look at PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE by Nickerson (or something close to that spelling) for a story of interesting gay women 100 years ago in England

Give yourself 100 points for having the balls to kick a hornet's nest on this one. No, I don't agree with your politics, but I do agree with what you said about the shut down. Now, if those 100 points could translate into extra calories you could eat today, that would be even better !!

Good riddance ! You don't need an abusive jerk in your life. "Shoved food" into your mouth? That's just abuse, and if he doesn't respect you more than that, dump his *kitten* immediately. Besides, your an apparently pretty nice woman, you can do a LOT better, regardless of whether your a size ten or size 20. I hope you…

Congress must act immediately !

Don't be silly. If your comfortable walking, do the walk. If you can run next year do the run. The important thing is to participate and get the level of exercise that is appropriate for you -- not for your buddies.

Just keep to your calorie goal and don't worry about magic powders. What you eat and how far you walk are all that matters.

WOW! you look great. He is one lucky guy

Try using Balsamic vinegar flavored with fruit, there are basically no calories or oil or anything, it tastes a bit tart, but good. Someone showed me a bottle at wholefoods, and I'm hooked on it.
