GNC carries it.  I'd strongly recommend you drink it cold.

Topic: isopure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so i finally found a protein drink that i can drink and actually like. ( yeah i am a little over excited about it).  so far i only tried the grape and blue raspberry isopure, but i plan on trying the other ones to! so if you are like me and can't find any protein that you like, give it a try, it has like 40  grams of protein per bottle.

Chris!

Congratulations on the 110 pound weight loss!!  What an awesome job!

As for the stall; Some of the tips I've read about and have worked for other people:
*  Increase Protein and decrease carbs
*  Change you menu around--instead of eating eggs and bacon at breakfast, try it at dinner
*  Change your exercise program--do more cardio than weight training (or vice versa!)
*  Drink a protein shake instead of a meal

I hope that helps.  I haven't stalled too terribly long yet (10 days is the longest for me so far) but I tried a few of the tip listed above and it seemed to work for me.

Merry Christmas and I hope your New Year brings you much happiness and prosperity!

Topic: It was slow, but it happened.
I finally hit my goal this weekend.  It took a year and a half!  I had really plateaued at the one-year mark and would drop a couple, gain a couple--always staying about the same.  I thought that I had maxed out and was pretty much okay with it.  I figured the last 7 lbs. was mine to keep.  About a month ago I decided that it was ridiculous being this close, and kicked it up a notch.  I cut back more on the calories and was really careful about what I ate, and I took the exercise up 2 notches.  Of course, now I have revised my goal and want to lose another 12 lbs.--I want the 100.   Wish me luck!
