Premier Protein Shake Nutrition
I tried this shake and have to admit that I love it and it is very effective at keeping hunger away but it contains DATEM and according to an article on Eat This Not That the company says that the DATEM that they use is from fully hydrogenized not cancer causing, artery clogging partially hydrogenized oils. Does that…

Pre-op Pressure, what I'm learning and TIME
I am on day 6 of a 2 week liquid protein diet prescribed by my surgeon. It is a diet used for bariatric surgery to shrink the liver allowing for weight loss surgery. It also restricts calories so 10-15lbs of weight loss is expected in 2 weeks time. It is extremely high protein, low fat and low carb. The intent is to get…

How do you get your protein in?

When is it 'safe' to get rid of clothes that sre too big?
I haven't lost a lot of weight but from exercising have gone from a Woman's 20 to a Misses 20. Do you hang your old sizes or chuck em with confidence? I am still wearing some of the Woman's 20's and my husband liked to make fun of my 'clown' pants :) I don't want to spend $$$ on sizes I don't plan to stay in long. Thoughts?

Considering my first 5k
I exercise 5 days a week 30 minutes on the elliptical at about 4mph for 2 miles and 30 minutes of strength training. I can do 60 minutes on the elliptical 4mph for 4 miles. I don't have anything other than this to judge if I can complete a 5k at all let alone in a decent amount of time. I have artificial hips which is why…

Saturday Night
So my hubby and I rarely go out now thanks to the recession. I would really like to go out tonight to celebrate our birthdays and for some much needed downtime-we have been working extremely hard the last few weeks. There has got to be stuff to do that does not include eating. We are near Nashville. Ideas?

Fell off the wagon. Need help getting back on.
I started May 15th. My exercise has been very consistent M-F 30 minutes of strength training, core daily and alternating upper/lower, followed by 30 minutes level 12 with 1 minute intervals every 5 minutes on an elliptical. Food is my problem. I have breakfast and morning snack worked out. Those are easy, early in the day…

Weight Loss / Fitness Routine in the winter
I just had a guy tell me today that when it gets cold out my exercise routine will go out the window. I started May 15th and haven't missed a Monday-Friday at the gym. I figure by the time the cold weather gets here that exercising in the morning will be a habit. I can see some mornings where I may switch my workout to the…

gaining a pound a day
Eating under calories goal, not clean but under goal. Exercising an hour a day. I have gained a pound a day for the last 3 days. WTF?! I keep a 3 pound cushion in case of monthly weight fluctuations but the timing isn't right.

Removing 100 pounds & appreciate your support
My plan is to integrate exercise much like showering and brushing my teeth. The biggest challenge will be food. I cant just stop eating like you stop smoking or drinking. Blood sugar and hormones keep me feeling off balance. I also am an emotional eater and eat for energy when I am tired. Thanks for your support…
