    The purpose of this thread is to get moving more than you did the month before. Try some new activity or work on something you are trying to improve in the fitness area.
    My goal for this month is to start on my 1,000 mile bike ride. I made a New Year's resolution to ride 1,000 miles between mid-March and the end of the October. Goal for this month is 75 miles.

    I personally like the Body Fortress Super Advanced whey. Its at Walmart and only about $15. Its not chalky and tastes AMAZING with an extra scoop of Peanut Butter and some bananas blended in.
    And I normally HATE Protein powders and shakes.

    I didn't want to give wrong information like the other person did...it's not just for the stomach or butt. Whenever in doubt google the information.
    Lipotropic injections are a treatment for burning fat in the body by injecting substances into the body. Lipotropic injections differ from liposuction because while liposuction is invasive and removes fat from the body, lipotropic injections don't remove fat; they just help fat dissolve by aiding the rate of metabolism. Fat is dissolved in a generalized fashion, unlike in lipodissolve method, in which fat is dissolved in specific areas.

    The Isopure Ready to Drink is HORRID
    That’s what I spit and then threw up all over my kitchen floor. UGH!!!
    I want to try Unjury and I want to shop around of the best price though. I have used Dutch Chocolate in the Isopure and it is yummy but getting old - REAL quick! I love Kale!!!! My favorite beverage in the blender that involved kale was before the surgery..... I would juice 6 oz of fresh apples --- toss in blender, fresh cut pineapples (they were frozen), Kale and Spinach.... Whole Foods here calls it Green Dream and it is Dreammmmyyyy

    I like to experiment so I buy a lot of sampler packs. Tried Now cake batter flavor, I wasn'ta fan. I like Pure Protein Powder in frosty chocolate. I found I don't like the Body Fortress brand but it is cheap so you should see if you like it. I get it a Walmart. I like GNC total lean but not the calories or price so I may not buy it again but I liked every flavor I tried. Favorite is french vanilla. Unjury is good too but spendy as we all know. Isopure makes rtd drinks that are horrid so I drink preimere Protein from costco. When I'm out and about and need something I will buy Muscle Milk or Oh Yeah ready to drink as well.
    Right now I am on a green smoothie kick. My blender has one scoop chocolate Pure Protein, 4 kales leaves and or whatever greens I pulled from the garden with Water, ice and a pump of suger free Torani.< /p>

    In response to your comment about optimal Protein consumption:
    Men: 40 g every 2-2.5 hours
    Women: 30 g every 2-2.5 hours
    I try and optimize every day, but typically range, on average, 25-40 G Protein every 3 hours.
    Any more than that and you are either wasting it (passed on through) or it is converted into stored fat. The exception might be casein protein when taken at night. I am not positive.
    My shaker typically contains:
    1. Post workout: 40 g Optimal Nutrition HydroBuilder
    2. Bed time: 60 g optimal nutrition Gold Standard Casein
    For Breakfast, I have recently been drinking the chocolate pure protein shake from costco with 1/2 cup Fiber one (not mixed!!), but might instead have 1/2 cup steel oats mixed with scoop of Hydrobuilder mixed with 1/4 cup Fiber one.

    I used nectar vanilla bean torte as well as Chike coffee. But, I stopped Protein shakes at the two month mark per my nutritionist and surgeon's recommendation/plan. They don't believe in continued Protein shake usage and prefer patients get their protein in solid food wise, however, they always said a Protein Shake is better than no protein at all and said they would be fine if I was having an issue or on the go and not able to find solid protein.
    I have saved all of my Protein powder for my husband who is having surgery in 2 weeks.

    I hate this question mostly because I should have done things different but with a full time career, 5 children and no energy due to low caloric intake I never have exercised through this process. I do have a ton of skin but not sure exercising would have made that big of a difference. I have no regrets and I think If it's successful you're doing it the right way.

    And I didn't see if anyone answered you but PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter. It only has 45 calories in 2 tablespoons. I add it to both chocolate and vanilla shakes, depending in what I'm in the mood for. I order mine from Amazon because I can't find a local store that carries it. Hope that helps!

    Unjury has a very limited selection on Amazon so I buy straits from their website. I also buy Torani sugar free syrups on their own website because there are a lot more flavors than in my grocery store.

    Yeah CarbMaster is a Kroger product so either Kroger or possibly one of their sister stores that sells Kroger products, depending on where you are. And the only place I know to buy Unjury is http://www.unjury.com and I think Amazon.< /p>
