this is not a recipe - but Franks Red Hot makes chicken fries - the serving size is small - but perfect for a VSGer they are low in calories, carbs arent to bad and high protein you can buy them at your local Walmart. my rule that I try to stick to is..... more protein then carbs.

Make sure that your gettng in your calories and that your getting the right ammount of protein/fat/carbs. and drink drink drink!! have you all tried water arobics / water therapy or Gentle Yoga (for people recovering from surgery and or injury) these classes at the YMCA

OOO Ladies!!! just next week and the week after!!! I am soo excited for you all :) This is the start of a new you! you will have sooo much energy and feel soo good!!!

make sure your getting in your water. exercise and don't drop the calories under 1200 or you'll send your body into starvation mode. the most frequent stalls occur at 3 weeks, 3 , 6, and 9 months!
