Wow - great job Stephanie!!!!

Thanks Carrie!! And the shakes that I talk about are just premixed yogurt smoothies I buy at walmart..they have strawberry, mixed berry, peach passion and strawberry banana. Dannon has a light and fit carb and sugar control brand that I mix with vanilla protein powder in a blender. You can also add fresh fruit to your smoothie and ice and it is just like a milk shake. I dont normally like yogurt but this has been something I can eat. Once I mix it all together in the blender, I don't taste the protein at all. And it is not really something you have to do for all your meals...you can use it as a snack between your meals to get in some extra protein. They really are quite tasty...so I would try this before you ordered the samples on line of the other shakes. You can get the protein powder at Wal mart to.

Hi everyone! You're all doing so great! My week wasn't too bad. Here's my stats: Day of surgery/highest weight: 354 Last week: 239.2 Today: 237.6 Down 1.6 pound this week. I should go on a "shake diet" for a few days but I haven't found a shake I can really stomach. I need to order some samples online I guess. Have a great week! Carrie

You should try the ones that Stephanie posted about last week. They are delicious and really good. I think they are like 31 grams of protein. I really liked them and I couldn't stand protein shakes in the first 4 months. I found one now that I like and my husband even thought it was good. They taste better than Smoothie King or Smoothie Factory shakes. I just add some frozen strawberry and 1/2 banana and about 2 tablespoons of whip cream (no sugar/carbs), then 1/4 cup ice to make it colder and thicker. Good luck!

Have you tried Syntrax Matrix Cookies & Creme? It is YUMMY!!! NO yucky protein smell or taste. I missed having one this morning...I am literally craving one now!! They are so good my kids beg me for one! I get mine online at allstarthealth.com for about $29 for a 5.4 pound bag. They might have samples...not sure about that though. You might give it a try. And, I mix mine with 1 cup nf milk, 1 tsp. cocoa powder, 2 tsp. Splenda...comes to 32 grams of protein. MMMMmmmm...going to have one now that I have worked myself up!! HTH... ~Suz

Those do sound yummy!!!

Hi Everyone, Stephanie what would we do without your positive attitude to keep everyone going. I too seem to be getting hungrier a lot now. I know a lot of you don't like protein shakes but I love the Unjury ones. I have now gotten used to the flavor and have one every day. Well I have been on vacation and not on the computer and this week I am busy with my grandkids. Having a fun time before school starts. I know all you mothers are getting excited!! I remember those days well. Anyway I am real late but wanted to post for the last 2 weeks. HW..232 SW..211 2 weeks ago.. 145 TW..140 Have a great week all. Hugs.. Roxanne
