I have never liked chocolate milk, milky products period. Ugh... I've been drinking shakeology but the sugar content is 7 or 8g and I need it under 5. Any tips for making Protein Shakes more fruity?

Syntax nectar is good...comes in a variety of flavors. It gets foamy when mixed with my bullet but I put it in the fridge at work and drink it midday. Tastes like kool-aid . I like the grapefruit, Twisted cherry and the tropical one.

Went bridesmaid dress shopping this past weekend. I would have usually dreaded this before. Dress that I have on is a 22 (I'm currently an 18) trying to hold it back so you can see the shape. I ordered a 16, but I imagine will have to have it altered anyway since the wedding isn't until November.

Your looking real good in that gown. I bet it felt so good to have to hold in the extra material. I am surprised they didn't put some clips it for you. By Nov you will probably be at goal. I sure hope they can take in all that fabric and make the dress fit you like it should. What a wonderful event to look forward to.

In the first pic it has clips on it. In the second pic I hadn't come out of the dressing room yet for her to clip it. It definitely does feel good and I hope they'll be able to take it in as well. Cause I really don't want to buy another dress! Lol

@@ladycook9713 if you do need to buy another dress that would definitely be a awesome reason.... "Sorry honey I had to buy another dress because the one I got is too big and just falls off of me" lol

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look fantastic. How long did it take you to lose 100 pounds? Are you close to your goal?

My surgery date was 3/25. This amount includes pre-op and 13lbs I lost before I started this process.

I'm currently 216 and my goal weight is 150 so I still have 66lbs to go.

Next milestone is to reach onederland! Only 16.2lbs to go lol

That was March this year, 4 months ago. WOW!!!!! I am now 342 and still have 4 more months of a supervised diet before surgery in 2016 if approved. I am hoping to lose down too the low 300's before surgery so I can get to goal by my 61st birthday in 2017
