Can anyone recommend a good shake mix for the occasional smoothie?

So far today I've eaten a banana and will be making an English muffin w/ pb on it soon. Currently drinking a glass of unsweetened iced tea. Not sure if that's going to cut it! I work midnights and thinking I might need something a little stronger to get mojo going today! :coffee: Still feeling motiv...

Thanks for the insight. Yes, that does make sense! This morning I am eating half a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter on it. I will probably eat a fruit with it as well. I am a coffee drinker, so will have a cup (maybe two.....) after I drink a glass of water. I will post through out the ...

I think about what I am going to do today for exercise, how I'm going to eat and how to avoid temptation! This a.m. I was making kids breakfast, and ...

I noticed this thread was called "2014 group weight loss journey" and was wondering about joining in?? Hopefully I'm not too late? I have struggled with weight since hitting puberty (some 20-ish years ago!!!) but I have NEVER been as huge as I am now--245 lbs. *gulp* I am just starting wei...
