Where do you get that fuzzy navel whey protein drink. Sounds good! Chris

I have been stuck at 80 pounds for a little while now. I've have recently upped my exercise to 5 miles a day though and I probably need to up my calorie intake. I've read on here many times that if you don't eat enough calories your body will go into starvation mode. Do you exercise regularly? How many calories, protein, and water do you take in daily? Do you keep a food log? I've been doing that the whole time and it really helps me out.

Wow Irene, 121 pounds in three months - you are doing great. Just remember that now is the time we need to retrain ourselves in better eating habbits. I too, can eat starches and they still taste so good to me. So each meal I make sure they are in their proper order, after protein and good starches. I sometimes don't eat them, or I might have a bite. I am still having a problem with meat so I have to rely on getting most of my protein from my shakes. I am in love with the whey protein fuzzy navel. No carbs, no sugars, no fat and only 90 cal. for 23 grams of protein. It has been a life savor. Good luck, Mary M.

Todd, I'm also insured with Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO, they sent me a bill for over $19,000.00 and they only paid about 1,300.00. I sent the bill to my doctor and he is appealing it. So I'm in limbo also, if I knew that I would have to pay that type of money, I NEVER would have been able to afford the surgery...Wishing you well on you insurance battle. Carmen

Hi Ladies, During my monthly I am noticing that I loose 5-7lbs. Is anyone else this lucky? I think its crazy to be able to loose weight during that time of the month...but it has happened for the last 2 mos. I am NOT complaining- just wondering if this happens to anyone else?
