I've been drinking a protein shake (Premier Whey Protein powder - 30 gr protein per serving) for one of my meals. It's 180 calories per scoop. I mix it with mostly water and about 3/4 cup of skim milk making it about 263 calories. It's really tasty, especially when it's refrigerator cold.

I'd like to join! B)

Sent you a friend request. I'm trying to stay 1200 cals/day. Not always successful.... ;)

Yup...this pretty much sums it all up. It isn't really rocket science. Must use up the calories you take in to maintain, need to eat/exercise at a deficit to lose. Sounds so simple, because it really is! The rub is the will power factor lol!

Hi PianoRun (I'm guessing you play piano :) I'm female, 56 and post menopausal. Last year I lost 30 lbs between January and September. I tried to be faithful to log my caloric intake on MFP and workout out on my eliptical trainer while watching a show on Netflix - approximately 45 minutes. (A distraction is a MUST!) I'm…

Absolutely amazing transformation!!!!! Keep up the hard work of continuing to be healthy and taking care of yourself for those who love you!

I can truly see the difference! Great job and keep it up!

Yay! You look great!

Fantastic job! Keep it up! So encouraging!

Anyone can cook if they can read and follow directions. I love allrecipes.com. It's free, tells you the calorie/nutrition content of the recipe and has categories for lean/healthy menus. No time to cook....get a crockpot from the local thrift store and put dinner in to be ready when you get home. It's not a diet you need,…

My husband (a registered nurse) and I have been doing Dr. Michael Mosely's "The Fast Diet" for about a year. My husband lost 40 pounds and had to drop back to only "fasting" one day a week. I continue to "fast" two non-consecurive days (Mondays and Thursdays) and have lost 27. It really is about being healthy, the side…

Great job and keep fighting for your health! You look wonderful!

I'm 5'1 and started MFP at my all-time heaviest weight of 156. I'm now 139 with a goal weight of 120. Haven't seen this weight for a LONG time!

Sweetheart, you are NOT alone in this! I am a binge eater from time to time as well...just gotta keep hitting restart each morning and choose TODAY will be a better day. Do you have a friend who can join you in your journey? I have more I could say, but would rather not post publicly. If you'd like, you can friend me and…

I'm doing the Michael Mosley's "The Fast Diet" and have ordered his new book "Fast Exercise." My husband (a Registered Nurse) is doing it as well. He says "it just makes good sense." Watched his documentary on Netflix and learned about him and how he came up with his theories. My husband lost so much weight doing 5:2 he…

Huge difference! You look amazing in that top! Great job and thanks for the inspiration!

WOW WOW WOW! Keep up the great work!

If he's not seeing the scale move but clothes are fitting looser, it's time to get out the measuring tape and see the results of the workouts there. I also think he needs to eat back his calories, but this needs to be his choice alone. Is his Thyroid working like it should?

Good job and great choice of suit. I think it's great that you're not showing off all the goods as so many young pretty gals do. You look awesome!

Welcome to MFP! You have made the first move in the right direction to getting healthy. I'm cheering you on!

Sad to say....I have a closet full of clothes that I refuse to give up on!
