I personally like the Whey Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate. The cheapest price I found was Amazon for about $35. It tastes pretty good, especially if you mix it with milk. I can't take whey anymore for personal reasons (whey isn't friendly to my belly). So I bought the 100% Soy Protein by Optimum Nutrition in Vanilla.…

Chicken breast, Ground turkey 97%, lentils, beans, couscous, cottage cheese, high protein yogurt (read the label for these), shrimp, tilapia, egg whites, eggs, turkey breast from the deli (I prefer the low sodium) I personally like eating beef so go for top sirloin, or london round. You can also buy the ground beef with…

I drink the 1% milk just because I like to eat my fat in peanut butter, hehe. Otherwise I also like the almond/coconut vanilla flavored.

Candace, what an inspiring story! Thanks for sharing, you look great!

YAY! Good job!

I gained more confidence. Then I met an awesome guy, and got married. I used to have this problem where I was so insecure about myself that I would sell myself short. After I lost weight and became more confident everything changed. I stopped paying attention to *kitten*****s in my life, and followed what I thought I…

My ex cheated on me, and it hurt me so bad. Then I became really insecure in how I looked, and I somehow felt worse about myself. I had always been a bit overweight, but it didn't bother me until after that experience. So, I put all my anger into working out and started eating well. I lost 30 pounds in 6 months. In the end…

amazing job! you look great!

I find it amusing Acai is used to lose weight here. In Brazil most people don't eat it because it's very fattening. I don't really know about the nutritional contents though, but as everyone else recommended, the best way to lose weight is by watching what you eat and exercising. There really is no shortcuts.

hey! I'm on the same boat as you :) Add me if you'd like!

Gone with the Wind

Feel free to add as well! I log in everything I put in my mouth and exercise 5 days a week!

I love this thread! You guys are so inspiring! :flowerforyou:

I do 5x5, 65 lbs. This is my second week, so hopefully I'll get stronger.

All my life I was overweight. I would just eat way too much, and lots of junk. I am still learning to eat portions.

This made me smile. I actually wanted to do this and have my mom cook it. She thought it was a joke and then got mad at me.

You look great!

Honestly, you should go and see a doctor. They will prescribe something that's appropriate for you and address all of your concerns (weight gain, etc). I've been on the pill for a year now and I think I gained weight mostly because I was taking one that was not good for me and causing a lot of anxiety, mood swings, so I'd…

+1.

That's so cute!!

My favorite date was a date with my current boyfriend. We were just getting to know each other. We went to dinner, then to an outside bar at a hostel by the beach, and later to a terrible club. It wasn't anything special, but it was his company that made it so great! It was the first time I met his friends, and we just…

Dance! :)

Adorable Couple!

OMG! Me too. When I go shopping I automatically pick up a size 12, or a L. I sometimes even try them on because I think they'll still fit...

Yes. I've gained a lot of confidence, but there's still a bit of that insecurity in me. I think that when I get where I want to be things will be different.

you look amazingg!

My starting weight was actually 185, but I didn't take any pictures (I regret it now). The first picture is from April, the second from May, and the third from July. Edited for resizing.

I'm 5'8.5 weigh 160.6 pounds and wear a size 6 US jeans and M shirts.
