Hi Nancy! Absolutely... I think the goal is to break the fast. You've been without nourishment all night... A protein drink suits the purpose just fine! I'm glad you're back online... you're an inspiration. Keep up the good work! I'm proud of you!!! Denise 326/220/170

Yep, I agree! I have decided that I will never let myself get over 170 lbs. I feel like if I have that as a control, it will keep me in check. I'm actually pretty happy at that weight. I would like to get down to 155, but with my extra skin, I don't know if that's possible. I will keep trying though, and that's what it's all about. Won't it be nice in another year when we're all at goal and still here logging our food to help us maintain!! (Really - that would be SWEET!!)

In my opinion a protein drink would count as breakfast. I think the idea is to eat something, within the first couple hours of waking to keep your metabolism going. We'll have to research to find out more on this subject. Teah

Good morning Mary! I seem to be back in my routine with eating and exercise and I'm enjoying it. The weather is finally getting warmer and I'm looking foward to taking my noontime walks again. This will be in addition to my two 30 minute sessions of WATP. I did the WalkBlaster this morning, will take a walk at noon, and will do the Walk and Jog video this evening. Have a great day everyone!! Hugs, Nancy 280/168/155 ~mini goal of 162 by 5/1

Denise, You are absolutely right! Maintaining is a feat within itself. to us. Thanks for putting things in perspective. I know that if I didn't have this thread to make me accountable, I'd probably be eating way more than I should. Teah

Topic: Breakfast????
I'm not much of a breakfast eater - partially because I'm just not hungry in the morning and partially because once I start eating solid food, it seems to set off a compulsion to continue eating and eating and eating. I find if I have a protein drink instead of solids, I'm not as apt to want to continue on eating. I keep hearing that people who eat breakfast are much more likeley to lose weight than people who don't eat. Would a scoop of Isopure Zero Carb Protein powder in lemonade be an OK breakfast? It has 105 calories and 25 g. of protein. Hugs, Nancy 280/168/155

Hi ladies! I weighed myself this morning after a couple of weeks of not weighing and having some bad days of pigging out and not exercising; and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't gain during that time. I'm still 168 which is what I was last time I weighed. That is very motivating to me, so I think I'm going to set myself a mini-goal of 162 by May 1. I don't think that's too unreasonable. After that, I'll set another mini-goal and keep on doing that until I reach my main goal of 155. Here's my plan for today: B: Boca burger with some FF shredded cheddar S: 4 strawberries with Splenda, 1/2 scoop of Unjury L: 1/2 breaded chicken cutlet, lettuce and tomato S: WW Flakes & Fiber, 1/2 scoop Unjury D: Gorton's grilled filet with garlic and butter, 8 medium shrimp S: SB cinnamon raisin snackbar Totals: Calories: 916 Fat: 32 Carbs: 37 Protein: 103 Exercise: I got up early and did my WATP WalkBlaster. It's a beautiful day today, so I hope to go out and take a 30 minute walk. Then I plan to do the WATP Walk and Jog tape this evening. Hope everyone has a great day!! Hugs, Nancy 280/168/155 ~ mini goal of 162 by 5/1

Don't skip a chance to exercise. Take a break every 90 minutes and you'll be doing yourself a favor. Ninety-minute intervals are a natural work-break period. And four 10-minute exercise breaks at this time will burn about as many calories as a solid 40-minute session. Work-break exercises can be as simple as walking or climbing stairs, stretching or doing calisthenics. So what have you done today?
