vluckey 1 Posted May 2, 2006 It's been several weeks since I've lost any weight. I had an unfill about 2 months ago and took a break from really trying to lose. The good news is that I didn't gain anything back, but I also didn't lose. I scheduled a fill for tomorrow because I'm ready to get back to work. But, I went to the gym today, (which I have continued to do) and I have lost 1.5 pounds this week. Now I know that's not a big deal, but the ONLY difference that I've made this week is I have really hit my Proteins. I found a great Protein powder at Walmart that is tasty and inexpensive, (I forget the name, but it's a huge tub with 30-32 servings and it's only like $12). So, when I have milk, I add a scoop (20 grams of protein). I always have a shake for Breakfast, but my old shake only had 26 grams, I use 2 scoops of this so that's 40. If I have a sweet tooth, chocolate milk with chocolate Protein. I've even made a Breakfast shake with 8oz orange juice, 1/2 cup pineapple, a few spoons of lite coconut milk, a half a banana and ice. YUM! I've always heard that protein is the key, I believed it then, I really believe it now! Just wanted to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricia K. 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Protein is definitely key. I think the Protein Shake you're referring to is called Body Fortress. I used to buy it at Wal-mart until I found a 5 lb. tub (90+ servings) of the same thing at Sam's Club for less than $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
