Thanks for the explanation about protein. I really don't see how I can eat 285 grams of protein though :( I keep freaking out thinking it's my blood sugar, but when I check it it's always normal. It's so frustrating. I'll try adding a bit of caffeine. I hope that helps! Hang in there body, I'm trying to get you healthy!

I'm thinking I will try to ease into it a bit more. My body's like "stop starving meee!!" :)

Thanks for your input! I hope this does go away. It's been about 5 days or so. Can you recommend some good foods for after a workout? I heard chocolate milk is good but is that more for hardcore muscle workouts?

I got my BMR from this website http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ I told MFP I want to lose 2 pounds a week. I'm 5'4 and weight 285 right now. Started at 304 back in March or so. I've had blood work done, everything came back okay except my sugar being at 97. I have had my birth control switched due to getting…
