WoWGurl78 8 Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks Dorrie! I have to make myself drink but I'm doing better like stated in precious post! Now to get the protein! What kind of Proteins are y'all eating or drinking I alternate between Isopure zero (40g Protein in 20oz bottle) and making the chocolate premiere Protein shake (16oz of skim milk & 1 scoop of Protein powder). You can get Isopure zero at Vitamin shoppe or GNC and premiere protein whey powder protein is at Walmart or Sam's club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore 97 Posted July 2, 2012 You said your friend is 4 months out and 79 lbs down...and used an exclamation point, so you must be thinking she is doing better than you. BUT, 79 lbs divided by 4 months is 19.75lbs/month average. You have lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks Everybody's journey is their own. I think you are doing great!
