Notorious November Weightloss Spreadsheet
I find it ridiculous that I am discussing a glitter word. LOL, I own a very successful business, make 6 figures a year, and have chosen to take some time off to prepare and have this surgery in 2 days, and I'm not stressed over my surgery as much as this glitter nonsense! I don't know if it is because of my pre-op diet, or because I quit my nicorette gum 2 days ago or both that the little things are getting to me... really getting to me. I am a grown woman and need to put things into prospective.... a glitter sign....really....c'mon Yesterday i recieved a Private Message to please remove a Notorious Novembers Banner, that they made,...I removed it and sent her a message back that I would, and that I was sorry!! Everything is done I moved on and then...well.......I go to the spreadsheet page and it is a topic of discussion, I FELT like i was infringing on someones creativity...Stealing....How Dare I.....and then a link was posted because the same thing happened to someone elses(some one stole JME's) OMG!!!! Jme this is a support page, I don't need to be bothered with the petty things. Please stop stirring the pot!! I do appreciate all of the kind emails and support i've received from you all. My daughter suprised me and made a Notorious Novembers banner...I really didn't want one after the "situation", but she made it on her tablet PC (not on a generic site), she drew it free hand and told me that everyone can use it, I know that these banners can be infantile but this banner came from a young girls heart. Please lets move on!!!

Notorious November Weightloss Spreadsheet
To all November Bandsters, I am the culprit. I did copy and paste a Notorious Novembers Glitter Sign. This has been a very humbling experience for me...I did not realize that I was infringing on anyones creativity. I canadiangirl do solemly swear to NEVER take a GLITTER SIGNATURE without that persons consent. I am not familliar with forums like these, I am not schooled in netiquette, so please be patient with me. Please accept my deepest apologies Froggi. I did not realize the time and effort that was put into the designs...and now I do. Relax everyone crisis is averted, I have removed the glitter sign!!!!!

I've finally found a protien drink that tastes great!!
I'll have to look for the Hazelnut flavour, and I'm glad you told me that Wal-Mart sells them...I'll have to go to Wal-Mart and see if they have them there in Alberta. Thanks Texas!

I've finally found a protien drink that tastes great!!
Hi everyone, I have been asking everybody if they know of any good Protein drinks out there! I finally found one on my own. It's called Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino, and it tastes like a mocha frappuccino from Starbucks and there is ABSOLUTELY NO Protein shake taste to it. I bought it at Save-On Foods in Alberta. It's made in the U.S. so I would imagine you would have it there too! I can't handle any Protein Drinks, they make me gag, but this one is FABULOUS! It' has 2.5 grams of fat per serving , I love it and it curbs my appetite. There is some caffienne in it, and i know that some of you aren't supposed to have that, but if you can it's a great alternative. It is expensive though. I hope this helps.

Hello from Cali.
I was told to try Isopure, you can get it at the GNC. It's supposed taste good. It's not a shake, it comes in iced tea, berry flavor etc. I hate protein drinks as well. I hope that helps.
