I've mixed it with an almond milk/coconut blend. It tastes good, depending on what flavor protein you like. I've been doing some unflavored protein in my 64oz jug of walmarts brand of crystal light. I buy cherry limeade and strawberry watermelon..... I'm totally hooked, that stuff is amazing! I'm even freezing it in Popsicle molds! I get bored easily so I have to change it up. But I must say I never tire of my protein coffee in the A.M. It's what I look forward to when I wake up. My routine is wake up, bathroom routine, weigh in, vitamins, water and start everyone's breakfast while brewing my coffee. I still sit at the table with my family and don't feel as if I'm missing out on anything. Some whip cream and powdered cinnamon are common on those mornings when I need an extra something!!

I'm down 118lbs, although I just had a gain of 4lbs[emoji849] but the 100lb loss didn't feel as good as I expected maybe because I have another 60lbs to go. Grateful nonetheless. Just have a ways to go

I hear ya!! I am doing a carb day about every 2 weeks per my NUT, not sure if it's the right thing to do but I do start losing a ton of weight the week after carb load day. I weigh myself daily and haven't noticed weight gain because of the carbs, so maybe she's on to something? Who the hell knows!!

I was told to not drink at all for the first year, I'm thinking it's more because of a potential transfer of vices. After the year, it's ok in moderation

..

I've realized that I'm happier when I think of a clothes size than a weight in numbers. I mean if you wore a size 4 and weighed 180 would it matter?? Maybe you carry the weight in the booty or breasts? In the end for me, it's becoming more how I feel about myself than the number on the scale. For the record, I had surgery Aug 27,2015 and I have lost 118lbs SW-348 CW-230 BUT I've gone down from a size 30/32 to a 14. I even squeezed into a 12 jean. Nevertheless I'm doing things I've never done before and damn proud! Good luck in your journey!

Music and grilling by my pool was definitely nice but I sure did miss having a drink!!! Won't be doing it too much, I'll let the hubby do the grilling and drinking for the 2 of us!!

sure is!!! way to go!!!!!

NSV-- I rode bike with my kids today!!!! I RODE A BICYCLE!!!! Haven't done that in over 20 years(I'm 37) I felt so alive! So grateful, so good! My son (14) is ecstatic that "ma" can do fun stuff with him, and my daughter (9)feels like she can't keep up with me!!! The nice, unexpected "Miami cold front" made for perfect weather to try it. At a bone chilling 61 degrees, I was cruising along, breeze in my hair and a smile from ear to ear. I'm finally an active parent, thank you God, my ultimate goal has been checked off my list. No more watching from the sidelines. Mommy's kicking ass and taking names SW-348 CW-230

I have my protein first thing in the morning in my coffee! I buy Iso-100 in cinnamon bun flavor add 2 scoops & enjoy. At least I know I have 48gms of protein to start my day.

Today I grilled some chicken thighs because I feed 6 and some like the dark meat, and I skewed some chicken breasts (cut in chunks)with red onion, whole mushrooms and green and red peppers, all basted with a mango, peach salsa! Threw on some jimmy buffet, bob Marley and Zac Brown and had the grandest of times!!! Who would've thunk?

I was stuck for a minute too! I started with some light (5lb) kettle bell exercises and the scale started acting right again[emoji23] good luck to you, and don't give up, change it up... Something will jump start it again

Surgery was Aug 27, I started at 348 and am down to 234. Want to lose another 50-60lbs

thank you! It's funny you mention the kettle bells, I started doing it on Sunday and have lost 3 pounds since!!!

not done yet... But in a size 14 now, started at a 30/32 face is totally different

good luck to you my love!! Let's see where this magic carpet ride takes us!!!!

.

Thank you girls!!! I knew I could count on you guys!! It seems like upping my calories just a little may help, I'm gonna try it and let y'all know!! BTW the air climber basically simulates climbing stairs. It's an infomercial product[emoji23][emoji23] but hey, any exercise IS exercise right? Love u gals and congrats to you all in all your success!!

before and during... Have another 60lbs to go

I use Iso 100 in cinnamon bun flavor with my coffee. But first I stir it up in about an ounce of almond milk, so it doesn't clump!! It's amazing and I look forward to drinking it every morning!!

I hit between 70-100 gms of protein, my insurance plan only has 1 NUT and I'm her first sleeve patient[emoji51] my exercise is not hard core at all, IMO at least, I divide the 500 steps into 100 at a time and spread out throughout my day. And I've embraced the stall and been calm but I fear reaching my year and not reaching my goal.

I had surgery Aug 27,2015 and have lost 110lbs since. But I haven't lost anything in what seems like forever but more like a month and a half. I'm wondering if I'm done or just at a stall. SW 348 CW 238. I do resistance bands training and air climber (500 steps) 3x a week. I drink close to 100oz of H2O, very low carb and about 800-1000 calories daily. I need advice/encouragement, I NEED to lose these 39lbs so I can get out of the 200's!!! On the flip side my hair loss is a lot better, but I've read that it gets better when you've reached ideal weight. Vets, please help me understand wth is going on!!!!
