wow, you've lost half your body weight, that's great. i've lost half my excess body weight and while that's great, i still have a long way to go. my doctor said that there are so many factors that go into who loses how much how fast. i did learn that i am anemic and my doctor says that my salt and ice cravings are called "pica" which is related to my iron deficiency. i did find out about whey protein shots, they are not too expensive and each dose is 42g of protein. I chug 1/3 in the morning, then again in the afternoon and finish up again at night. i also got some protein bars that have 22g of protein, so between these and cottege cheese, cheese sticks and fat free refried beans, i'm getting about 80g of protein a day as of 7/30 which is about 60g more than before the 30th. my doctor prescribed repliva 21/7 to help with my iron and i am being more aware of what i am eating/not eating. i hope to see some results in the next few weeks, so i'll keep everyone posted. thanks so much to everyone for their feedback and support!

I also haven't lost any weight in the last 2 months. I am pretty much where I need to be, and I have lost a litle over 100, but I would like to be under goal so I have that extra room to eat something not considered "diet". ( My doctor suggested I lose another 5-10 lbs.) I also eat the whey protein and I find Unjury brand protein is good. From what I understand it is not just getting adequate amounts of protein in, but making sure they are quality protein and digestible.
