Yes welcome margie!

KC-I think I have read on here about your drinking an espresso protein drink. Are you just making that, or are you buying a coffee flavored protein powder? I ask because I have been reading about one, but have been hesitant to buy it.

stupid speller

I make it - in 2 different ways:

1 - mix a tsp of instant espresso powder (purchased from grocery store - Megdaglio D'Oro is most common brand) into premade lite chocolate milk muscle milk shakes - or other chocolate protein shake/drink.

2 - make or purchase from coffee shop an iced skinny vanilla latte - then pour into giant mug and add in a premade lite muscle milk chocolate milk shake - tastes really good and a large volume of liquid - so it takes me forever to drink it.

Hope this helps!

It does help. Thanks! I have seen the instant powder in the store. I will have to try it. I love drinking coffee in the morning, and I figured it would be good for me to have some protein too. Maybe I could make it to lunch time without starving.:thumbup:

Hello Gang!! I have been MIA for a bit. I don't know, just been buisy, been a little lazy too when it comes to writing it all down I supppose!! :eek: Any ways..

Today is my 1 year Bandiversary!! :biggrin: Everything is great. It's been the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I still have a long way to go. I've lost around 107 lbs, I got bout 124 more to go. But I actually CAN see the light at the end of the tunnel!! My body has changed soo much. I can do so much. But one thing still is strange.. In my mind, I am still thinking I am going to eat like I used to. My husband just shakes his head at me. When we make our plate, he says, you know you aren't going to eat that.. But I still tend to make myself a Normal plate. I guess I am just so accustomed to those old ways. I guess that too will change. :wub: I don't know, I just think thats' odd still. I am at a plateau now for a while. I need to get exercising again and logging my food again daily. I tell you, sweets have really been a problem for me lately. I usually tend to be locarb, but whew!:smile: the cookies are killin me!! Yes, I kno I am the one putting them in my mouth!!:biggrin: Well, I just wanted to share my big day. I'll catch ya'll later!!

congrats on your one year bandiversary! 107 lbs is outstanding! I just got banded this week and now you are my hero lol
