J'Bo,
I just wanted to let you know that I have only had 2 diet sodas since July 11. That is really impressive for me. I do believe I have kicked the habit LOL. I have been drinking lots and lots of water.

LOL Not "out" it is just the crap I have is crap. Hubby and I are fighting over money so I can't buy anymore, yet. With the powder I had...my protein was very low with the meals my protein is where is should be.

Is it bad that I have to eat instead of use a shake? I will get some more powder as soon as hubby gets his head out of his

I haven't gotten on the scale I can't believe it! Monday was the weigh in day, but I couldn't get the the gym so I will weigh in today. We will see. My shorts are definitely fitting looser...I even got into a pair I didn't fit into before...but I don't know if my weight had changed

 

[Jodi]

Real food is better than protein powder anyway, but thats kind of wierd that he won't let you buy it. In overall it costs less than eating almost half a pound of chicken at each meal. You can get 5lbs of powder for $30.00 and that will last about a month. Good Luck!

It not that he won't let me...he is just being a butt. I know it is cheaper...he is hard headed but thanx.

I weighed in today and I am still at 163.5 - no more change. But I know I am making progress. I have some shorts that fit snug when they are fresh out of the dryer and then they loosen a little after wearing them (denim does that). Now I put them on right out of the dryer and they are NOT snug so good things MUST be going on! Yeah!! My husband says I need more shorts...I want to wait and make them baggy LOL

 

[Leslie]

A piece of advice about Health stores. Be sure to price out the powders in diff stores. I hae found Vitamin Shop to be ok, GNC is a ripoff!..Your best bet is to buy thru the internet and have it shipped to you. I am lucky as I know a guy that sells supplements so I get the powder for dirt cheap. But before that I would go online for the cheapest bargain...Just an idea. Let us know how you make out!

Remember to watch the carb and sugar counts....

Mochy said the same thing about ordering it...cheaper online. I will do that I think. Great idea, thanx. Yes, I will watch the carb and sugar counts. I appreciate your help.

 

[Hammerlynn]

Hi NB! I've recently switched to Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey and love the flavor!

For a 5lb tub, it only cost 28.99 locally and I know you can get it a bit cheaper online!

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

Woo Hoo!! Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to get on the scale but once a week...but my clothes are feeling a tiny bit looser so I said "what the hell!" Anyway, I got on the scale this evening AFTER I had eaten lots today and drank sooo much water and guess what the scale said... 162lbs!!! I lost one more pound, maybe a little more since I was 'full' LOL Things are looking so good for me.

Thanx mochy and everyone who has helped me and encouraged me. I am starting to kick some butt!!

 

[Jodi]

YEAHHHHHHH NB - Congratulations! You are doing so well. Keep up the good work and remember its not your weight that really matters is how you look and feel. Especially in your clothes because thats how you know youve lost fat. Good For you and I will talk to you when I get back. I on the other hand may have to have a few small cheats on my vacation.
