Hi Karla Cold here also, I'm 2 months and 2weeks out and for the 1st time in a very long time, I can now sleep w/out a box fan running all night.

Hi, Denise - I don't like the chocolate or vanilla "shakes", either, and was having issues with eating first thing in the morning. I tried a fruit-flavored protein drink called "Nectar" (search on google will give you a bunch of hits and distributors), and I bought the Fuzzy Navel (tastes like a cloudy Tang) and Very Berry Cherry (which I mix with a little sugar free cherry kool aid). Both are like a slightly murky koolaid, and mix well. The added benefit is that I can drink them first thing in the morning, so I'm not too thirsty waiting an hour to be able to eat then wait the 30 before I drink. There's 24g of whey protein isolate in each scoop, which you mix with 8oz of water. I mix with 20, adding the koolaid or crystal light organge to the fuzzy navel.

Hi there -- I am always freezing too! I have heard that its because of the rapid weight loss and low calorie intake, that we are cold now. However, at about 3-4 months out, it should go back to "normal". We'll see....... as I am right at 3 months tomorrow.

Hey Karla, Tomorrow I will be 10 weeks out and yes, I find myself cold all the time... I can be comfortable in the house and my family and friends are burning up... It is very strange how this happens... but it's because our body is eating all the fat... so now we are cold internally... Wonder if it ever gets better the further out we get... Glad to see everyone is doing such a great job... keep up the good work.. Leslie 326/264/170 -62 lbs
