I use Optimum Nutrition whey protein and casein protein. It's one of the best values I've found. The casein protein is about $1 per serving and the whey protein is about $0.77 per serving. MetRX is also fairly inexpensive.

I like DDP Yoga quite a bit.

I'm no low carb fan, but let's stick with facts. Atkins died at 72 from falling on ice and hitting his head on the sidewalk.

I know this post is a bit old, but I just fell in love with these. I also like Hansen's Diet Soda. Amazon has the variety pack of the Sparkling Ice for $7.75, which is about $4 cheaper than local grocery store

I do. I don't think there are any other logging options?

Couldn't add you. Says your profile is set to private.

Hello. I'm currently at 302, started at 410. I have about as much left to lose as you do. Feel free to add me.

I hope you find a way to feel better. Losing excess weight is definitely a good start. It's good to start out making small changes. The other stuff will come with time.

I might get criticized for this, but when I first started out, I used caffeine pills to help with hunger. Eventually I got comfortable with feeling hungry, though.

Add a tablespoon of baking soda to make it easier to peel.

I like the reduced fat wheat thins. 130 calories for a decent size serving. Something salty and crunchy with a little bit of fiber.

Mix chia seeds into greek yogurt.

Start with small changes. Unless you have an underlying medical condition, don't radically change your diet, just cut back on how much you eat. Cut your calories now and worry about adding exercise when you've lost some weight.

How low in calories?

I've used spiral cut cucumber and it has a similar texture. I found it was too low in calories, though.

Congrats. I hope you feel as good as you look.

Isolate means the protein has been isolated, rather than just concentrated. Both soy and whey protein can be isolated. A protein isolate has the most protein per gram. It's almost pure protein. My unflavored whey protein isolate is 25g protein for a 28g serving.

I think it's good to fit things you like into your diet. I do find that apples help control my sweet tooth, though.

Good apples help me. Sweet and lots of fiber to fill me up.

You might try getting a FitDeck or using the app. It's all body weight exercises.

I do walk alone. Sadly, I don't actually know anyone around here.

Awesome. I love that you did it together.

You look amazing. Way to go.

Ricotta cheese is basically the same as cottage cheese with smaller curds and less sodium. 1/2 cup has 14 grams protein. Mix in some fruit or instant pudding.

Now unflavored protein isolate, 1 cup whole milk, 2 T Ovaltine.

I see. I misunderstood.

If you are getting all your calories and nutrients, awesome. But you said you are eating once a day "if," which makes it sound like you don't eat every day.

Good luck on your journey, but eating once a day doesn't sound healthy.

An activity tracker with a continuous heart rate tracker will give you a relatively accurate calorie burn for the whole day. If you just want to track exercise, you can get a HR strap with a watch fairly cheap and it will be the most accurate.
