Lots of topics on protein shakes on this site. I use Body By Vi and get mine free. I drink a shake for breakfast as a meal replacement and then after workouts to repair the torn muscles. Yummy!! Do a search for Protein shakes and you will get a lot of results.:smile:

Me too! Breakfast, lunch or dinner! It's good anytime.

:laugh: This one made me laugh so hard I started crying!!!!

Great job! You REALLY do look amazing and I hope you intend to wear that bikini to the beach or the pool!!

Great info!

Quiche muffins sound yummy!!! I have to try them. If lactose intolerant try Almond milk.

Wow! 71 lbs.!! Congrats!! Body By Vi shakes definitely change your body shape even without exercise!! I only lost 10 lbs. during my 90 day challenge but I lost a pants size! WooHoo!! I love the change in my body shape as well and definitely agree with the stomach party - gotta get rid of the extra fat around the middle!!…

Sounds really good. I'll have to try this.

Good Luck!!! It's easy and it's fun! Keep it simple!!

I did 30 DS and LOVED it. I also have Ripped in 30 but haven't done it. I got to a bootcamp 3 x's a week and the workout is INTENSE. I wanted something for two additional days but just haven't been motivated to do it on the other days. Hopefully this will be the kick in the butt I need. Thanks for creating this challenge!!

SW - 165.5 GW - 135 As soon as I get to a size 8 I'm going to try on a pair of Miss Me Jeans and see how they fit!! Woot Woot!!

Hi all! It's been a great but hectic week. I am frustrated that the scales are not moving but I understand why I guess. I am working out a lot and building lean muscle mass. I have lost a pants size but with no lb. loss which is MUCH better than the other way around but still... Just can't seem to break that 164 barrier!!…

That's a good beginner's workout.

Love the microwaveable veggie bags!!

My bootcamp instructor always says: "Don't give up! Don't Quit!"

It's going good!! Great workout yesterday and down a 1/2 lb. today!

Thanks for sharing! I'm printing this one out and saving it.

Me too!!! I HATE burpees!!!

Water is a challenge for me as well. I start the day with a 16 oz. bottle of water and won't allow myself to drink anything else until I finish it. Then treat myself to a diet coke and then back to water. My problem is if I drink too much water before working out I have to run to the bathroom during the workout and I get…

Congratulations on your decision! My husband and I have both lost weight on the BBV Challenge. Butterfinger shake is yummy! I love the Almond Joy but usually just mix it with frozen fruit since it's quick and easy!!

The only thing that works for me is counting calories. That way I know exactly what is going into my body and what I'm burning by exercising. Have you measured? Have you taken your before photos? I was disappointed too because the scales weren't moving for a while. I was so glad I had measured because I lost 5.5 inches in…

If you are eating these at home can you throw them away? Are there others in your house that need to eat them? If you can't throw them away have someone else in the house put them away where you don't know where they are. If I see junk foods lying around I crave them - if they are not out in plain view I usually get by…

Photos and measurements are sooo VERY important!! The scale is not moving at all for me but I have lost inches and a pants size. You are looking good - Keep up the good work and take a few measurements - you will be glad you did.

I love Jillian Michaels and have many of her DVD's but you are right her protein powder is AWFUL!! I threw mine away!!

My favorite protein powder is the Body By Vi. It comes in a sweet cream flavor and you can make literally hundreds of different recipes. It only has 90 calories per serving, less than 1 gram of sugar, less than 7 carbs. and 12 grams of protein. The Tri-Sorb protein blend is a unique blend of highly absorbable proteins. My…

I like my protein/meal replacement shake (Body By Vi) with fruit, almond milk and a little cranberry juice all for about 200 calories. It keeps me full until lunch most of the time. If I get hungry in between I will usually grab a light snack. This weekend we were traveling and on the road early. We stopped for breakfast…

Set a goal for the next event or trip or time frame. I lost 35 lbs. in a contest with my sisters because we were going on a cruise. While I maintained that loss for about six months I never lost any more weight and didn't really work out either. So on January 2nd I started a 90 day challenge. I set my 90 day goals and have…

I usually eat within an hour of getting up as well. I used to eat at work but now I fix my shake and eat on the way to work.

I know what you mean - that can be frustrating!! What makes me mad is people who see you losing weight and saying - you make me sick or lucky you or something along those lines. I always tell them - it's not luck and you can do it to it just takes dedication. I ALWAYS invite them to attend bootcamp with me - haven't had…
