 I was thinking if there wod be interest in doing a protein exchange idea. If anyone is like me they have gone through so many types of protein shakes and products , buying a big tub only to not be crazy about it , or love it and want to let the world know . 

I was thinking about maybe the next meet and greet if there was interest , we could do something like a cookie exchange except with protein powders. Each person would put samples of a protein powder in baggies and say there was 10 people , you make 10 baggies and get back 10 other baggies of different powders to try. 

Is that something anyone would be interested in?

I think thats a great idea!!! And thanks Rainy and Justmest, i love presents!!! I was also thinking of our clothes. As we lose weight and go throught sizes, there might be someone else who is in that size on their own journey could make use of them?? Im so bad for liking the item in the change room and then get home and hate it....and do not return for whatever reason. Id rather give them to someone who may wear them for a short period than just donate to whoever/whatever?? If anyone else is interested in that idea, I will put my stuff aside and bring whenever I can. Im getting a little ahead of myself cause I have to have the dang surgery first and start losing before that can even happen! But the offer's there!

That sounds like a great idea to me!  Ha, ha Madeline....I know exactly what you're thinking.  I am pulling out all my "good" big clothes and wearing them now.  No point in saving them anymore as I hope to be donating or exchanging them very soon too!

There was an exchange of clothing at the previous meet and greet that was at the Lakeview hotel.  I came away with some beautiful new tops and a stack of jeans in various sizes.  So I hope to be bringing a bunch to the next one!

Now that surgery is 3 weeks away, I hate everything in my closet except for my leather coat (that I cant fit anymore but plan to get into this fall for sure) I would be more than happy to send these items to someone who could use this. Plus I would only bring my best stuff! Along with the protein powder..dont want to hijack Rainy's thread!

 I can't tolerate any of the protein shakes but would definately bring in clothes for a clothing exchange. Have bags of stuff I have in piles to give away. Might need to get a semi though to bring it all to a M & G. Think I have a bit of a shopping problem

I got a nice little pile of clothes at the April 1st M & G that I am hoping to grow into.  Some stuff that I will need for work when I am "in transition" lol.  But newfie is right about needing a space to set stuff out - it looks like a rummage sale after a few minutes! 

and I did not know there was Protien Shake Ice tea mix - Thanks so much rainyone!  I haven't tried it yet but I am def. going to giver a try tomorrow!
