Salad is what makes the tough stuff go down for me. When I had restriction, a little bite of food...a bite of salad....a little bite of food.....helps the medicine go down...the medicine go dowwwwn!!

Sing it, Julie! :eek:

Stef,

You are absolutely right!!!! The Supreme Protein Bars are DEE-LISH-US!!! They are sooo tasty....Here are my questions:

1. They are huge...Do you eat an entire bar at one time?
   
2. Do you use it as a meal replacement or a snack? I bought the carb-conscious
   1. 
      
   2. 360 calories
      
   3. 16g fat
      
   4. 300mg fat
      
   5. protein 30g

I have been able to eat about 3/4 and I feeling a little full....THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIP!!!!

I freaked out when I read 300mg fat because I was thinking 300 GRAMS! Whew!

I'm so glad you like them! I love them. I ate my last one today (I only bought two and now wish I'd bought a whole box) and don't have a wrapper to compare, but I'm sure you got the same one. It is huge...can't eat one at one sitting. I mostly take a bite or two here and there. I've gotten so bad about eating...I'm trying to eat more, but I just don't WANT to! (Okay, no one can cuss me for that! It is a real problem! Seriously!) The owner of the store where I bought mine said a lot of people eat half and half because they are so big. Then I saw on their website that they had a huge calling for a half size and are making them now, but I don't know anyone who carries that size. You can buy them online by the box, which I may do. I didn't make it to 7-11 today, but I sure will tomorrow, in hopes of finding another one!

:whoo:Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, but I wanted to share my exciting news. I am officially a resident of "onederland". I screamed when I weighed myself this morning. I've been stuck for a few weeks and FINALLY the darn scale moved. I still need to change my stats on profile. I never thought I'd be so excited about weighing 198 pounds.

Congrats, Karla! That's AWESOME!

Okay, everyone! What do I always say?

"It's Time To Do The Happy Dance!"

[TexasFire 84]

Oh! And BigBaby...I'm rooting for you to hit One-derland!

Hey O2B...how you feeling this evening?

I just noticed this when I was scrolling around....I posted earlier today that I felt some restriction when eating chips and drinking milk. Some restriction is kicking in finally, but not much. I am burping, so that's a good sign. Eating slow, trying not to eat what I shouldn't and trying to curb the head hunger. :hungry: I'll definitely be getting that fill on the 19th though. It's all part of the journey.

Woooooo Hooooooooooo Karla!!!!! Welcome to Onederland.. it's a great place to be!! :Banane20::Banane20::Banane20:

These are the traditional banana boobies used by the Shrink'n Violets of April 07 to offer congratulations...

Now I'll sneak back over there to my normal hangout. Just wanted to check up on you and see how you're doing. See you on the 22nd!!

Thinking I need a fill... When I eat the proper things I do have a good restriction... as far as I have to be sure to chew chew chew and take only small bites. But I feel like I can eat too much in one sitting... just ate 1 1/2 cups Pasta & chicken in a light alfredo sauce. Oh, and this is day 2 of no chocolate... but I did eat a bag of yogurt pretzels (which was 6 servings at 200 calories per serving.) Granted, that is all I ate until I just had the pasta... Ugh. I need to re-focus myself!

I had my 6 month BANDAVERSARY yesterday!! I am so excited. I am losing slower now, but it is still going down and I can tell the major changes in my body. I am happy with being just a bit over half way to goal!! I will try to do a picture this weekend, not sure I am skilled to shrink it and paste it. But I will try.

I am having a consistent restriction, which is nice. And last night I could not eat tortilla chips or pretzels. That is a GOOD thing finally! Maybe that will kick up my weight loss. I have had issues eating some things that I could eat before. I can eat salad, but have to eat slow and chew. I am realizing htat up to this past month I probaly did not focus on my chewing and pace enough, and as the fills increased, I was forced to do it.

Karla....welcome to ONEDERLAND!!!! YOU ARE DOING FANTASTIC!!!!

Stef, I am off to Christmas shop today and will look for those Protein bars. VA has 7-11 every where along with Scheetz and Wawa!

Talk later,

[bigbaby 4]

JA9VA---contrats to U!!!!

:clap2::clap2:Happy "Bandiversary!!!!" :whoo::whoo: I looking forward to seeing your progress!! I should be posting in about 10 days!!!

It doesn't matter how slow it's coming off.....IT'S OFF AND NEVER WILL RETURN!!!!!

YEA! YEA! YEA!

I purchased my Supreme Protein from the Vitamin Shoppe. I am going to purchase a case. My plan is to change my eating habit drasticly so that I can lose 16lbs by Jan. 1...yes, I know it's quite an ambitious goal...but I want my weight to start with a 1...

Here's what's in my mind...hopefully I can stick to it.....

Breakfast: Activia Yogart and 1/2 a supreme bar

Lunch: 1/2 supreme bar

Dinner: Talapia and salad

Water: 64oz or more

Exercise: At least 45 minutes 3-4 times a week.

What do you think? Will it knock off 16lbs ???????

:whoo:CONGRATULATIONS KARLA!:clap2:

It's so exciting when one of us hits ONEderland.

It's good to hear you are doing so well too Janine.

I don't know whether you know this but MJSafari started a 6 month pic thread for us. I hate putting pictures of myself online. It's difficult to handle both technically and emotionally, hence this insecure preamble.

I might take 'em down after a month because the whole thing makes me uncomfortable but for now, 'ere they are. I didn't take 'official' photos (wish I had've). Instead I found a couple of 'before' photos from the beach earlier this year and just posed in a similar way.

Keep in mind that I'm not where I want to be yet but I keep chugging along nonetheless. Can someone else post their pics too?
