Has anyone tried True Nutrition proteins? I am waiting on my delivery of the Java Mocha flavor.

Well, I had my surgery August 4. In the hospital they were only giving me room temperature water. I think I drank too fast, because I ended up vomiting and dry heaving and they kept me an extra day. They started giving me some apple juice and popsicles and I was better in a day or so. I have been home for 3ish days and am…

This is very good advice! I will have to think about what I can do. I know on Sept. 12 we have an employee appreciation day where there will be breakfast and lunch served, and probably not the healthiest options, so I especially need to make a plan for that day!

My pre-op diet was mainly protein shakes, but I could substitute for a "meal" if I chose, staying under 1200 calories. A meal is 3-6 oz of lean protein (amount depending on type) with a large salad or 2 cups vegetables. The diet is no starches, I can have 2-3 servings of fruit OR dairy per day. It has been rough but I have…

CONGRATS!! I finished w5d1 of zenlabs c25k yesterday (5 mins jogging, 3 min walking, 5 mins jog, 3 mins walk, 5 mins jog then cool down) and I am pretty **nervous** for what is to come. I bought new run shoes at the beginning of c25k and I still have some knee and shin/calf pain because I am 200+ lbs and I don't have great…

Congrats to you!!!

do you have before and after pics? Just curious.

Matt, Congrats on your success. I feel honored to be one of your MFP friends. You are a daily source of support and encouragement and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone. In regards to all the controversy, and everyone's questions I believe she is a dietitian and a nutritionist (didn't realize there was a difference) but I will find out for sure. My starting weight was 223 and CW is 206. GW is 165ish, maybe lower if I can ever get there. I am meeting with my doctor next…

Yikes, this is what I was afraid of. I have some thinking to do....more to follow up on this post later.

I ate two double chocolate milano cookies tonight! :)

This seems like sound advice - thanks. Thats why I'm asking - is she changing the plan too soon (after only 2 weeks of a 0.4 weight loss?) Also, not eating back my exercise cals or exercising less seems like a bad idea especially if I burn more than 600 in a day as it is now. Seems against "MFP rules." haha

Current fat intake is supposed to be under 54 but is usually between 40-50 grams. I am 27 years old and female (obviously.) I do not use net calories, only how many I actually consume, so 1380 is how many I actually consume in a day not counting exercise. If I exercise my net calories are usually much less than 1380.

Current intake is 1380 Current Weight is 206 I exercise about 6x per week, 30-45 minutes or so per day cardio workouts.

bump for later

I use greek yogurt in tuna!

I also color my hair, and its very thick, so I am concerned about using swim shampoos, but I have heard good things about Paul Mitchell. I have also heard good things about Kenra's clarifying shampoo. I will have to try them for after I swim, which is really only 2-3 times per week. I bought a bubble swim cap, so I am…

Thank you!!!

You look great! Way to go!

Awesome job! You look great!

you look amazing! can't even tell you lost that much weight!

Just turned 27 on December 13th. I am excited to be here, just starting out.

LOL!!!! :) but you're the best party planner I know.

Welcome!!! My boyfriend won't go on walks with me either and hates eating healthy/exercise as well! Its hard but easier with support, even if it is just online. Any tips from people who cannot find support from family/friends? Kip
