So...I'm back.
I won't lie...the last few months I haven't really been focused on being a healthy version of myself...so, a few pounds have crept back on. I'm not hopeless, but I am struggling a bit. Any suggestions for how to get back on track? Checking in here is my first step... -

Protein shakes one year out...yes or no?
andreanoelle posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Hi everyone, I'll be a year out in August, and I have been majorly stalled. I'm about 20 pounds from my goal, and would really like to lose the rest, so I called my doc's office and asked the nurse there a few questions about my current diet, etc. and what I can do to start losing again. Sooo....to my surprise, she said that I should no longer be doing the protein shakes as a meal supplement (I had been doing an Oh Yeah! chocolate shake - 220 cals, 32 g protein - for breakfast most days) This is news to me. I thought that this was ok, so now I'm thrown off a bit. Do your docs tell you not to do the shakes any more once you're farther out? To me, they're more convenient and a great source of protein, but my nurse said that they won't fill me up as long and that my body won't absorb that protein as well. But, most breakfasts I eat wouldn't come close to the amount of protein and I'm worried I won't get to my 60g then...any thoughts?? I would love to hear feedback from those of you who are a bit farther out. Thanks!! -Andrea -
Hi Sophia!
I haven't been on here quite as much lately...avoidance, maybe? lol...I feel guilty about drinking the margaritas when I think about all the hard work I put into losing the weight. So...back to the grind...my weight is at least holding steady and not going up, but I really haven't lost in so long that it gets hard to keep with it. I'm hoping to get some fresh motivation soon. -
So if any of you are actually paying attention...lol...I didn't gain weight recently but finally broke down n got a digital scale so it's weighing me higher than before. Mentally it sucks but I'm holding steady weight-wise.

Hey Deb! I'm exactly the same way...I feel like a failure for not getting to goal...I have about 20 to go...yet I also am really proud that I have lost 80...argh...I've been content to just eat what I want and not exercise as much lately, but this last week I've finally gotten my motivation back. I started tracking food on my iphone and that seems to be helping...good luck to you darlin!

The new pic looks very very good. How are you doing? It's been very hard to get my arse in gear. I still want have 40 pounds to lose, but I seem to be satisfied with not losing. Sometimes I feel like a failure. Which is weird because I've lost soooo much.

Well its good you found out sooner than later
...I guess that's what dating is for . Don't ever settle. There's someone out there that's perfect for you hugs! -
Lol...ironically, that is the guy that I was dating but we just decided to end things. Too many differences. So...back on the market!
I'm ok with it, we were just different people with different personalities. -
So I'll put this out there - what's your thought on a few days of liquids only to get rid of my sugary cravings/habits? Is that "dieting" or is it a smart move? Is there a better option? I need to do something.......

Thanks for the compliment on the new pic, Deb!
I hope you have a spectacular weekend!!
