I love spinach in my shakes. You can't taste it and it adds lots of extra nutrition.

bump to read through all this and reply when I am not at work.

My favorite is the peanut butter banana 8oz milk 2 scoops shake mix 1/2 frozen, peeled banana 1 tbsp peanut butter 4-5 ice cubes YUMO!!!

I am in the Birmingham area. When is the run?

When I cant use my blender I have two go-to recipes: 1. 8oz milk, shake mix, a little bit of vanilla flavoring and some ice. Shake it well until all is blended. 2. 1 Individual Crystal Light Lemonade mix, shake mix, 10-12 ounces of water, ice. Shake it up really good to break down the lemonade and shake mix. This tastes a…

It is not a scam. MOST of the folks that will tell you it is have not tried it themselves. I personally drink them and love them. I drink 2 per day but I do not replace 2 meals per day. I usually have one in the mornings. I also have one mid-afternoon as a snack. Feel free to add me or message me if you have any questions.…

It will get easier. You are teaching your body what it means to eat healthy and the feeling of having lots of nutrients in your system. If you do get hungry, by all means grab a hand full of almonds, a string cheese, some grapes or another healthy low calorie snack. I do 2 shakes a day but I also have a small snack mid…

I do two shakes per day. One for breakfast and one as a snack mid-afternoon My morning shake is usually: 8 Ounces Skim Milk 2 Scoops of Shake Mix 1/2 Frozen Banana (peel it before you freeze it) 1-2 TBSP of Peanut Butter (to taste) 4-5 Ice Cubes Blend until creamy Mid-Afternoon 8 Ounces of Fruit Juice (usually OJ or V8…

You will find on here that much of the negative feedback you get is from people who have not actually tried the shakes, so how can you receive true testimonies. Filter through these as you wish. And note that I said "much" not "all." Visalus is a reputable company that offers a 30 day money back no questions asked…

Welcome! I am rather new here myself. I just joined the challenge this week. This is a very quiet discussion board compared to others. But, nonetheless, we are all in this together. I too am only doing one shake per day. I have mine in the morning to jumpstart my day. I usually have half of a frozen banana, some peanut…

I only drink one shake a day for breakfast. I am ONLY doing this for the nutrient content and the Tri-Sorb protein blend. I am NOT drinking the shakes for magic weightloss or some other random scheme that many have mentioned. I do it because I feel better and I know I am getting nutrition that I would be lacking in simply…

Rice Krispie Treats 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup peanut butter 6 cups cereal 2 scoops of shake mix Melt peanut butter and honey in microwave stir in ceral and shake mix press into a sprayed pan. chill and ENJOY!

How much have you lost on your Visalus journey? Do you drink 2 shakes per day?

I am waiting on my kit to arrive as well. I would like to lose between 60 and 75 pounds. I am more about how I feel and how my clothes fit than a magic number. I am working on my 3 for Free as we speak and am hoping to have that in place for next month. I am excited to get started. Not even strictly for weight loss…

^^^This^^^ Born and raised not far from Tuscaloosa. Bama fan all the way. Roll Tide!!

I eat two slices of whole grain wheat bread with a tablespoon and a half of creamy Bama peanut butter on each slice every morning at work for breakfast. I can eat it at a slow pace and it will keep me full until lunch. I love peanut butter and there is no way I could ever just stop eating it because of calorie requirements.

^^^This but I am going to add to it. Do not eat below your BMR, in the end it will have your metabolism all outta whack. So, It sounds like if you net 1718 you should be okay. You can use scooby's calculators (you will have to google it). They are really accurate and give you all of the numbers you are looking for.

I ordered mine from nutsonline.com They were reasonable and they have a HUGE selection of items.

bump...I am in the same boat and I am curious to see what others have to say. I went from 232 to 202 in about 5 months working out 3 times a week and eating net 1200 or less. Well life happened and the gym schedule decreased. Stayed within the 12-1300 net calorie range and have gained back up to the 213-215 range. I am…

I have about 80 pounds to shed and am gettign ready to start this program next week. I am curious to see what others have to say too. I dont mind physical activity but for some reason I hate to run. I have signed up for the 5K color run on Labor Day as well as the Warrior Dash on October 6. I am all signed up with…

I did Insanity for a while but got bored with all of the repitition of the DVD's...That being said I did burn some fat but got no definition. What would you say is a better program to try? I would love to find something that helps burn fat AND build/tone muscle.

bump for later...my 2 year old will love this!

I'm in...I am training for a couple of mud races and need to build up my endurance.

I will definitely be making the shortbread cookies and muffins. I think I will take them to church Sunday for everyone to enjoy with their coffee before service. Thank you both for your recipes!

bump..Someone HAS to have atleast one favorite recipe that uses flour.

I am actually single, no fwb or anything of the like. I have a two year old daughter that gets all of my free time.

I'm in

Salsa! OR if you are wanting a creamy dip, my favorite is to mix 16 ounces of light (ff is okay but not near as good) sour cream with one packet of hidden valley fiesta ranch dip mix. YUM and low calorie. It is great on tortilla chips, corn chips (scoops), potato chips or with fresh cut veggies. It also makes a great taco…

I am interested in this too. I am currently at 210 (down from 230) with a GW of 165. I have been considering low-carb as a means to jumpstart my loss and break this plateau. I think I would feel better overall as well.

This^^ I am not in my forties but I still have all of my single, never married, child-free friends trying to tell me how they think I should just get out there and meet someone. I have a child, a home and a career to focus on. I cannot be out trolling the bars and the supermarkets everyday hoping to bump into mr perfect.…
