Ps. I'm happy to know that lifting weights won't make me look like an Amazon woman! I think that's what a lot if us ladies are scared off when it comes to weights. Thanks!! :-)

I went out and got a tub of this Protein today in Cookies and creme flavor (my goto shake flavor-love it!). Crossing my fingers that it will make weight training and recovery from endurance running faster and easier.

The GNC manager stated it was the best Protein Shake they have to offer and that it is absorbed very well compared to 100% whey Protein shakes. It was a bit on the pricey side' date=' but fortunately they had a 50% sale going on it. Recommendation is 3 scoops a serving for 60 grams of protein, but there is no way the body can process that much (from my understanding) and it is fairly high calorie for that much protein (280 calories). Instead, i am going to try a little more than 1 scoop per serving. The GNC manager also recommended this after bringing up the 60g per serving concern. My current running workouts consist of 5k timed (under 30 min), endurance (1+ hour) or HITT (30 min). Weight training is on alternating days with Sunday off. I have to get more serious about the weight training. Others have suggested I might be low on energy so this shake should definitely help in that area.

I plan on sticking with Syntrax matrix for morning and evening shakes, but would like to hear from others if they think I should just take 3 servings of Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 a day and drop the Syntrax matrix shakes completely. I have been taking Syntrax matrix shakes 2x daily for about 5.5 month with good success at losing weight and keeping tight skin. Now I am focusing on strength to fill out muscle lost during weight loss ( at about 22% body fat now but do not have much muscle definition).[/quote']

If your new to going to the gym...I'm pretty sure you gym has trainers there. I really suggest taken a few sessions with one. And let them know that you want to add weight training along with your cardio workout. I know it can be intimidating at first, there's a lot to learn about which body groups to work together and what machines work those groups...if you just started the gym your gym provides a 1 hour free session with a trainer.

Good luck

The Amplified Wheybolic Extreme has really been a surprise this week! It has improved my stamina and endurance when running. It has a strange smell, but tastes great with Water or soy milk. I have been taking it 3x a day: once when I rise, once after a work out and once when I go to sleep. The scale is also moving; another 5 lbs this week (190 lb. as of this morning) and my chest / biceps are starting to get some good definition from just one week on it ( chest, arm and back focus this week with dumbells).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
