I have gone from feelings of failure to having honest to God hope again. I think you are correct in not weighing daily. It's hard to do though when in the back of my mind constantly is that pledging thought....have I lost anything yet? Man there are so many new lesions to learn. They just don't come over night do they. Thank you very much for you thoughts. Jodee - Very cool on the weight lost yourself. I only hope I can do as good. My one suggestion is to NOT weigh yourself every day. Trust me, it will come off, I've had weeks like that too where I didn't lose anything and then all of the sudden I'll weigh myself and have dropped 5-10 pounds in a week.

in the back of my mind constantly is that pledging thought….have I lost
anything yet?

come off, I’ve had weeks like that too where I didn’t lose anything and then

You're still relatively early out. Your body is trying to grow accustomed to the changes you've made. Don't let the scales rule your life, otherwise you're going to be miserable. As for protein, I still take protein supplements. I ordered from vitalady after becoming bored with the one I got at GNC. The Nectar Apple Ecstasy is yummy. I can't remember the name of the other one...100% Whey or something like that (I think), well anyways it's a Vanilla with Pineapple bits flavor and it's good too. The pounds will come off faster if you're not married to the scales. -Michelle First of all relax! You’re still relatively early out. Your body is trying

I have tried Atkins shakes, some kind of berry flavored drink from GNC, Protien Power drinks from GNC. I just HATE all of them and am very worried. Will I always have to suppliment my protien? or will I be able to get it in better when I can eat food? Jan I have tried Ultra Protien Powder added to whatever I am drinking. I have

I was using that for a good while, then all of a sudden, I couldn't tolerate them. I want to thank everyone for trying to help me.
