Hi Sheri, How well you put into words, exactly what I am going through. Somedays I see the change and some days I feel so fat. I am down 84 lbs. Yes, what a great second chance. lizzi

I have just been noticed my vain the past few weeks. They almost look like vericous and spider vains, which I don't know if men can have them. I would rather have prodemint vains instead of fat! 351/227/190

Hi Pam, Rarely do I feel that hungry feeling, I mean rarely. I think the other night, I said for the 1st time, I'm hungry, but then it's bedtime, so I did about an ounce of nuts and a protein supplement. I believe I was short a meal for the day, but blew it off and did nuts and a protein sup. Sticking to a schedule works best for me. Eating too much isn't an issue as I measure out my protein at meals, eat that first, then if I still feel I have room, go back and get a lil bit more protein. I eat 2-3 bites of protein to 1 bite of veggies. But I usually always finish the veggies. Average meal size for me is about 1/2 c of food. have a great day!

I keep myself on a schedule - or try real hard to do so- weekends are hard, I get busy and *forget* to eat. M - F unless something out of the ordinary comes up, I eat "on schedule". Rarely do I get the "hungry" feeling and if I don't do something about it right now, it goes away. My typical schedule is below: I *eat* persay, B - 1 CIB/NSA w/skim milk (10 oz's) every morning. 12 g's of protein. Sometimes I have 3 turkey bacon slices with that, so then 18 g's of protein on my non lazy days With my 1st calcium vit. waterrrrrrrrr........... S- I do a Profect protein supplement 25 g's of protein in less than 3 oz's of supplement! Love it! Not thick, not chalky, pre-mixed, tangy and sip, sip, sip it's gone. (link via my www button if anyone is interested in checking it out) 1st multi- vit. waterrrrrrrrr........... L- whatever is leftover from dinner last night 3 oz's lean meat - that's it, I don't usually do veggies at lunch, I get to full and don't want to eat later on. Except when I have leftover tacoless taco's. All the fixin's just no shell/tortilla. waterrrrrrrrr........... 2nd calcium vit. S- I don't usually have a pm snack. waterrrrrrrrr........... or 16 oz's of decaf/nsa French Vanilla D- I just cook, lean meat, veggies and some other side dish, I'm not cooking for only me. I eat 3 oz's of meat, 1/4 - 1/3 cup veggies and a bite or two of the side, IF I have room. Total food eaten at dinner about 1/2 c - on rare occasion 3/4 (depends on density of food****ometimes I forget if I took the earlier multi-vit so this is when I take another. waterrrrrrrrr...........3rd cal- vit. S- who has room for a snack? Not usually me. B- sometimes I do another protein supplement at bedtime, especially if I know my #'s are low for the day. 2nd multi-vit. A schedule is the ONLY way I can do it, as I said on the weekends I get busy and forget totally to eat and drink (unless super hot, then I drink a whole lot more) - only thing good about the work week is the schedule! have a great day!
