Donna...........I've found you!!!!
WOW, I'm super impressed that you already started a log and are "gettin' it done!" You will find so much support and information here that you and I can team up on the YaYas with our results!! Okay, just kidding, but I really want everyone to know how great Leigh is as coach, motivator and troubleshooter.
Just a suggestion for protein shakes (if you don't have a favorite), try Syntrax Nectar Whey. There are a few threads on it in the Nutrition forum at Yayas, too. I've ordered samples from VitaLady and all I can say is that everyone is just yummy. I like them because I can mix them with water and they taste awesome. Roadside Lemonade, Fuzzy Navel, and Twisted Cherry are what I have tried so far........Lemon Iced Tea, Carribean Cooler, Crystal Sky and Fruit Punch are the others I've got sitting here but have yet to drink.
I'm looking forward to reading your journal and following your weightloss. I joined the August challenge, also. Just remember, you deserve this!
BTW: You gotta put this log in your signature so people can be inspired by your thoughts and achievements! ;-)
