Great job!

I don't know what the source of Protein is, but I like the SYNTRAX products. I order them from Amazon. I like them because they come in fruit flavors, and use water. I don't always like the "milky" taste.

Thank you! I needed a reminder. It's been 10 years for me. I had at least 190 pounds I wanted to lose. Lost 90 pounds, had a foot injury, got married, had foot surgery 2 years later, and now 5 years post-op have gained 50 pounds. Hoping to get motivated in restarting this journey, so your post is very much appreciated!…

I also am trying to re-start. I will need lots of support too, so let's support each other!

It is considered a natural diuretic, however, when my mom was on Hospice care, the nurse told her that coffee also helps to keep you "regular". So, I think they "cancel" each other out. Just my thoughts.

Awesome! No other words....just awesome!

I pay attention to my total calories, but also, I need to keep my protein grams up, and my carbs down. I also make sure I have my fiber...I have a strong family history of colon cancer. I also try to keep my sugar low. My dietitian says it's important also to watch sodium...but I don't usually go over on that. So, in other…

Thank you! I think you're right!

Thank you! I wish we had stairs at work...I work in a single story building...but I have be trying to walk a little bit more often. I don't have a problem getting my water in...I always have a bottle of water, or crystal light with me. I also drink diet soda...which I'm trying to cut back on. Thanks for your reply!

Thank you, you made me feel better...and not such of failure.

You're right...these foods will be in my life forever...just a couple is better than an entire bag. The sad thing about the whole situation, was that I had a bag of carrots on my desk....Well, that is the past...I will look at the present and try to prepare for the future. Thank you for thoughts and taking the time to…

I am going to buy some tennis shoes that I can keep in my desk at work, just so I can take a walk around the office. Thanks!

Yes, you are right...I've got to keep trying and not give up- or "give in"...Thanks

I'm sure that praying would be the BEST for me. You can never pray too much. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks every one! I will try to incorporate these suggestions.

Bad day at work....Went straight for the chips, although I had carrot sticks on my desk...ugh! Need to learn to do something "constructive" when faced with hurtful situations. How is someone to break the "emotional" eating pattern? Any suggestions?

Where do you get the Optimum Protein? Cinnamon Graham Cracker sounds delish! I was "addicted" to animal crackers every night before I went to bed...sounds like that may be a good option

What about a vegitarian shepherds pie? :happy:

If you've got your calories, protein, and sugars for the day, try a tablespoon of Metamucil, or fiber tabs. There's a fiber tab out there that tastes like sweet-tarts.
