My argument in favor of protein shakes

Yep, almost three years out and I drink 1-2 Syntrak Nectars a day (only mixed with water) and I have not gained a pound.

Great post!

Ok, I gotta know. is that you in the pic? If so:

1. You're cute ><
2. Every time I see your avie I get the urge to: Go horseback riding, have a picnic, or go line dancing

My apologies if this is all very stereotypical BUT I am a born and bred city girl and my only references to suburban or country living come from what I see on tv.

Oh Nik!  (hug)  Yes, that's me. Thank you SO MUCH!  You made my week...perhaps year!   Just cause you're a cute city girl doesn't mean you don't have "country girl" goin' on!  ;)

I just call 'em like I see 'em.

 I'm with Nik, you're totally cute. :)

Just don't tell my hubby I said so. ;)

;)  It's our secret! 

Seriously, thank you so much! 

*raising my blender bottle in agreement* 

I notice I eat more on days I don't get my shake or shakes, or enough protein in general.  Like if I sleep in (like today) I will be playing protein catch up all day, and physically I can't eat enough to get the grams in, so it'll be a 2 shake day for me.  The head hunger gets bad when my protein is low, that's for sure.  At least my brain steers me towards protein-y foods still at this point.

Gina :~)

Hey Nik, He's got cute dimples too.

I did notice that as well. 

You are all so kind.  And your remarks are truly appreciated.  My mind is the last thing to catch up with my weight loss.  And, you are all helping me overcome my poor body image.  I sincerely appreciate all of your kindness.

Best,
