Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

You're doing something right though. 55 pounds gone in 2 months is spectacular!

@@shmeyers WOW! Your weight loss is terrific! Sooo excited for you! I'm trudging along, slowly but happily. Phase 4 has been difficult for me. I had a few days of grazing behavior, I was feeling hungry. I don't think I was getting enough Protein in, so today I went back to doing some shakes instead of real food and I seemed to have a better handle on Sleevie Wonder. Any suggests for fast easy protein meals for Breakfast or lunch?

I have not been getting enough Protein in either. I am trying to drink at least one Protein shake a day. We all are allowed to eat such different things. I eat Quaker oats weight control for breakfast a lot. I eat half of a pckt. Sometimes I eat yoplait light yogurt, about 1/2 a container. I made some breakfast Cookies that I like.

Thanks for the encouragement. I had to move my mom from assisted living to a locked memory care unit last week. She has alzheimer's and tried to leave the facility in the middle of the night. It has been very hard and stressful.

@@shmeyers thanks for sharing the recipe! Stay strong Susan. I can understand how stressful things are. My father went through this.You are in my prayers. May the days and the New Year ahead bring you joy.

Cookies sound yummy! Maybe add a little unflavored Protein powder too. I have a hard time most days getting enough Protein also.

Word to the wise though....If you aren't already, take Benefiber!!! I didn't and ended up having emergency hemmie surgery yesterday! Dying over here....

Hey there my friends! I know it's been a while since I've been here but with work it's been difficult but you can always find me on my fitness pal. I just graduate college and I'm over joyed. I was in heels almost all day and was okay. Loving the weight loss!
