Hi all. I had my month appt with my NUT today. I'm WAY below on the protein, only getting about 30 gms/day. I started out at 240 lbs and today I was at 205. That's after 8 wks! I'm embarrased to say that, "only 35 lbs". I know it's good but it's not where I had hoped I'd be once I was two mo's out. Nut feels this is good considering my starting weight wasn't higher and the fact that I'm low on protein but she did say something that really hit me. She said, I've got about 4 good months to get the weight off, which means I"ve got 2 left, then it'll continue but more slowly. I've read that same thing I don't know HOW many times but for some reason, when she was sitting across the table, telling ME "i've got 4 mo's" it clicked. I promised to drink 2 protein drinks every day till I see her next wk and continue with the 500 cal's I'm eating daily. I also exercise daily, not a lot but enough to burn up the majoirty of those 500 food cals. I'm up to 3 miles on the eliptical, that's all I can do now. I dont' know why I felt like posting this except maybe someone else at about the point I'm at will see this and it'll help them.

Congratulations!! Shopping??? Hmmmmm Penny

Woohoo for you!! Great job! Leslie
