Just wondering!

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if everybody still drinks a protein drink everyday? I know we were supposed to at the beginning. I noticed that allot of you drink one at least once a day. Maybe that is my problem with my weight not moving!!

I drink one every day. I dont have time to make breakfast nor is breakfast a meal I really do as a rule so the shake is the perfect answer for that.. it also gives my protein count a boost right off the bat. I swear by them.

I need to chew so for me a protein shake is not a great option unless i've forgotten to eat a meal (like that happens often) or my proteins for the day are low. You're doing fine, get off the scale and into the sunshine....keep that hiney moving and the scale will follow. ANDI

I do not, not in the beginning, not now. I get all my protein from solid protein sources and check my blood work frequently (every 90 days) to make sure that I am. so far I am doing exceptionally well. below goal and maintaining my ideal.

Looks like everyone does something different. For me, I used to have a protein shake for breakfast, but wasn't losing and then reliased that it was adding too many calories to my day so dropped it. Now I jus****ch what I eat, without getting too focussed on it. For what it's worth, I agree with Andi, lets get out there and enjoy life, eat sensibly and the pounds will take care of themselves. Hugs Karen, I know it's hard but try not to worry about it, the weight will shift if you are following the guidelines. You have done the hard part, now enjoy the journey while enjoying life to the best of your ability. As for your weight not shifting, you could try re-evaluating what you are eating and doing. I realised that I was eating too much so have reduced my portions and it seems to be working - slowly. Take a realistic look at your protien intake, your portion size and fluid intake, exercise, etc, etc, etc, and everthing else you see us all obessing over (!!!!!!!). Be honest with yourself and if you know you are doing all you can, then relax. As I recently read on a post, your body didn't get to the size it did in a short while, it may just take a little longer than you'd like for your body to get to the size you have in mind. Hugs

I used to drink an 'Achiev one' protein coffee drink every day, but got a little sick of them, so have stopped for awhile. i can't stand the protein shakes, so I stick with getting my protein from foods and milk. I'm under my goal and doing fine maintaining, so all is well. Although I do have days where I can tell I'm sluggish from not getting enough protein - I just have to concentrate on getting it in.
