Big second to Kashi Go Lean! 140 cal/cup, 13 gm protein, 30 gm carbs, 10 gm fiber (9 of which are insoluble). I have it with some berries and almond milk, very filling.

It's pretty typical for that medication to cause fatigue and general ickyness during the first couple weeks of use, but it does go away! So keep up the good work and when you feel discouraged keep in mind that this is just a temporary speed bump :)

I buy a lot of stuff from the Champion line at Target...mostly because it looks pretty and is fairly cheap, but it feels pretty functional too!

I forgot to weigh in Wednesday, but I weighed in this morning (my normal weigh in day) and I'm down to 178.4! That's a little over a 3 pound difference from September 7th, and a 5.4 pound total loss for the month so far. Keep it up everyone!

I made some today! Boiled them in vinegar before roasting for salt and vinegar chick peas...om nom nom.

I weighed in this morning--I was at 183 last week, now at 181.6! Down about a pound and a half, yay!

I'm in! I'm currently at 183 lb, and would like to be at 178 lb by the end of September! But really I would be happy to just be out of the 180's :)

When I went last year I kept protein bars and peanut butter crackers in my bag to munch on. Although I wasn't avoiding the vendor food for health reasons, but because I'm a poor college student!

I have a major peanut butter addiction too. I second the PB2 recommendation though! Tastes just like peanut butter and only 45 calories. I put it in oatmeal and it's so delish!

I'm in my last year of pharmacy school! Which, ironically enough, has not been kind to my health :)
