Does anyone have a good protein bar recipe? I'd love to make my own but I'm unsure of how to make it all work! Any suggestions?

I started out at size 22, six months out and I am now a 12. My dream size would be a 6, realistically I believe I'll be an 8. Lots of work ahead of me!

Wow! Congratulations on your accomplishment! It isn't easy to do and you are doing a great job!

Thank you both! I can't wait to say I've met my goal!

I finally made it out of the 200s and I am ecstatic! I can't believe I am more than halfway to my goal. 50 pounds to go! Never thought I'd see this day; the hard work and determination is completely worth. I attached a picture of me the day I came home fro.surgery ( didn't include my face..I looked like death!) The other is now, 72 pounds thinner! [ATTACH]1695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696[/ATTACH] is completely worth it!

I am 5 months out and I've lost 70 pounds. I'm feeling great and have 40 pounds left to meet my goal. I am getting bored with the gym and I'm looking for something different to do at home. My husband and I are moving to a house outside the city so gyms won't be as accessible. Weight loss is much slower now so I need something to kickstart..anyone have suggestions for getting those last pounds off?

The other day my husband politely offered me a mint after we had grabbed a bite to eat while out shopping. He said he has noticed that shortly after I eat my breath sometimes has a smell to it. I am almost 5 months post op. Has anyone else experienced this? I never had this problem before and I brush my teeth 2-3 times daily.

I've been using it for a few weeks now. I really like the chocolate peanut butter flavor. However, it is 52 grams for 2 scoops...there are 24 scoops in the 2 lb container. We can't absorb 52 grams all at once (we absorb about 30 at a time) so one scoop with 26 grams is sufficient especially if you add it to skim milk, which adds a few more grams of protein. Hope this helps and good luck!!

Surgery on 7/7 Start weight : 272 Current Weight : 210 I've lost 62 pounds and could not be happier! Sometimes I wish it was more but then I tell myself 62 pounds in 4 months is amazing. I can't remember the last time I weighed that much. My goal is 150 pounds. I'm working as hard as I can on the belly fat...it just doesn't want to leave! Haha Most of my weight came off in my upper body. My shoulders and waist are small but my lower belly just won't budge. I too have to wear 1 size bigger to accomodate the belly. I've started the Insanity program and I hope all this cardio blasts my belly! Good luck on the rest of your journey...we have long roads ahead of us!

Wow! Great to see some NC folks. I live in High Point and work in Cleveland...very close to Salisbury. I didn't know what a pig pickin was either until I was in the South a few years (originally from PA). I'm actually attending one in two weeks, here is to staying strong and making good choices!
