Wow!

Jessie, congrats. You go girl.

I am down to 130 - size 4 pant. I'm not thrilled that I'm still losing, but I'm not much of a meat eater anymore. I don't eat potatoes, rice, pastas, a lot of those carbs. My original goal was 125. However, I would like to stop losing anytime now and just maintain. My protein intake is approx 100g a day or more.

My nutritionist told me to start eating protein bars. So I am going to start trying some out. Any ideas as to ones that taste good???

I like the Think Thin Chunky Peanut Butter protein bars. They have other flavors but I'm stuck on this one. 20 grams protein! 240 calories though. If you work out, you burn off the calories. I don't eat them too often.

Thanks everyone! I would love to have lost more by now but yet again I am at a stall. I feel that I should be lower by now

Up your protein Jessie. Honestly that should help. If that requires adding in a shake then it might be worth it

Well this is the new me. I'm down about 117 from date of surgery, from 8 months ago. Around 100 g + of protein a day.

Physically I feel great. Emotionally ex is running me thru the mill. Well found out today he's not my ex as of yet. Michigan held on to the Jurisdiction. So right now he is a bigamist, since he married his GF. I was dropped from insurance but talked to medical insurance today and I will be reinstated and his new "wife" actually only GF was dropped. Can't wait til then find that out. She is a psycho and is going to go ballistic, lol. So finally karma is starting to catch up with them.

I'm with you Jessie. Haven't been drinking shakes but after reading the last few comments here I saw I was sabotaging myself. I had one for bfast this am and a double scoop shake this evening. With my tuna at lunch and chicken at dinner, I got in 108g today. Lets get these scales moving!!

I drink a shake in the morning and at night to but I feel so full all the time its hard to get the protein in.

I also have a hard time getting the protein in. I just recently started to force myself to consume protein drinks again in an effort to get out of a six week stall. I'm happy to report that it worked and I lost 5.5 pounds this week! I'm relieved to see the scale moving again..... to say the least!
