Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Go Mel3620 go go go!

Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement!

Anyone drinking Ensure as a protein supplement? I can't stomach the powders too well anymore and I have been drinking the glucerna hunger smart shakes - 15 grams of protein but 180 calories. The ensure ones have 25 gr' date=' so I was thinking of trying them.

Good news is I'm down 52lbs total, 24 since surgery, 5 weeks out. Womp![/quote']

Congrats on the weight loss so far! I use Premier protein shakes. You can find them at Costco, Sam's, and I saw a small pack at Safeway/Tom Thumb - 30g protein only 160cal 5 carbs

Just thought I would share. I have been battling dry skin since surgery. No I'm not dehydrated but my doc told me this is just a side effect. I bought some pure vitamin e oil and just lather it on after baths. My skin looks and feels amazing!

Ensure protein is 210 cal for 14oz, 5g sugars, 23g carbs, 25g protein

Great tip! I've been starting to notice. My regular lotion is no longer working.

I got a lotion made by palmers. I used it during my pregnant to help prevent stretch marks. It has Shea better, elastagin, and vitamin e in it. Seems to be working great so far.

I cleaned out my closet today. I got rid of over a third of it. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I have NOTHING to wear except for a few pants that I had. No shirts tho. I'm going to need to go shopping. I just don't know where to go nor do I want to spend a alot of money to just grow out of it. I'm not a huge fan of old navy and the Macy's and target we have are small. Marshall's and tjmaxx are awful here. I swear we get the stuff nobody wants from the bigger stores. Ugh. What to do?

My whine of the day... Lol

In my area, we have a high end thitft store, nothing but name brands, if you have one in your area that would be a start, why pay a lot for clothes you will grow out of...check it out.

Some people were looking for Bento Boxes...Groupon has them 2 for $22 Just FYI

I cleaned out my closet today too... got rid of basically all my work pants.. a few still fit in the waist, but when it came to the butt and the legs, way too big! One more month till school starts...

I'm curious how long did it take before you decided to clean out the old larger clothes?

I cleaned mine out last weekend. I was approaching 65 pounds, and there was no way I was going to wear most of it. I especially knew the winter stuff I would never wear again. I have saved totes of smaller clothes as I gained. It is nice to dig them out, and at least have a start - even if many of them are more than 10 years old!!

Hummus chips ROCK!
