True! Thank you!

GOOD POINT! I need to be more strict and you're right - a calorie is a calorie, good food or not. Thanks!

Thank you - this was very interesting! Though I think my concern is that the amount of calories that are suggested per fat2fitradio is giving me a bit more than my 1500 so I'm thinking I might need to research a bit :) But I appreciate the help none the less!

In all respect, I don't wish to explain my body's specifics only because my post wasn't to start this heated debate. My post was to explain something that I had learned and felt worked for me. I've also explained that I had nothing against individuals who drink protein shakes and applaud them if it works. To be honest, I…

VERY fascinating!

Def not afraid of carbs now! :blushing:

Thanks for you comment but you are incorrect; I did not place this topic stating it applies to everyone. If you read the last paragraph again, I said if protein shakes works for people, then I have nothing against that. And for those who are struggling with it, I am suggesting my experience.

I beg to differ on that. I was only stating something that I felt would be interesting and possibly relatable for others who are doing the same thing I am and not seeing wanted results. As I had posted prior, this is just an informative of what I've learned and whether others believe it or not (or if protein shakes work…

Thank you so much for that! I appreciate everyone's opinion, but you're so right! My post was to inform what I learned - doesn't mean that everyone had to agree :) Thank you again <3

Thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate the time others put in responding to my thoughts. I am, although, perturbed on some responses based on a simple happy observation that happened to work for me. Some responses were understandable and appreciated, but others were plain attacking to myself, to the doctor and…

Good question here! My answer always fluctuates.. Height: 5'2" I'm 194 but would be content at 150. But my dream weight is 130.

Cheese! That's a good idea for the salty aspect... and a good way to keep in check with the measurement. Thank you!

That's an interesting argument; I'll look into it. The only thing is that before I was watching my intake, my usual is very Mediterranean style which is high in fiber, veggies, fish, etc. I'll check this out... thanks.

Nice idea! And I could probably sprinkle a little sugar on that and get that sweet and salty check on a good portion. Thank you! :)

THIS I like. Thank you!!!

WOW. I have so many thoughts running through my head! First of all, CONGRATS! That is an incredible accomplishment overall. You looked gorgeous before but you look gorgeous and fit now. :) Second of all, I LOVELOVELOVE that list of how much you lose and what the equivalence is to the pound loss. I kept a copy of it just to…

WOW! You look incredible! Thank you for the inspiration!

Hey! Would love to find new friends too! I'm 28, so just a tad bit older, and have about a little under 50 pounds to lose until I'm in a good, healthy range :) Is it okay if I add?

WOW thanks everyone for all of your comments and stories and suggestions! I loved all of them because they were honest and very positive. Congrats to each of you for kicking butt out there and doing so well. All of you have shown promise and it gave me a positive boost this morning... thank you!!! :)
