Is it fun? Not at all. Is it necessary? For me it is. Is it worth it? More than you can imagine. Good for you in pushing that reset button. You will find a lot of support from people who know what you are going through and would love to help.

I would love to eat Special K as my breakfast but find it doesn’t fill me up enough. I may look into the Protein plus to see if makes a difference.

Don’t have that fast food snack, instead have a piece of fruit. A nice juicy apple is much better for your health than a greasy plate of chips and actually costs less, so you win in the belly and the wallet at the same time. Thanks for sharing this one :D

I completely understand. And I also agree that being in the right place mentally is also the most important. I’m restarting as well and putting myself first for the first time in a very very long time.

I usually go for protein foods such as eggs and lean meat, but I don’t mind trying this product if it will really help me cut the fat. :)

I haven’t tried the Special K protein line but have heard good things :) Have you tried P28 bread? It’s one of my new fave finds!

I love the Special K protein products as well. They always get me through the afternoon to workout after work. When I don’t have one, I am so hungry when I get home that I don’t do a good workout. I hadn’t seen the strawberry banana shake yet – I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for letting me know about the post!

I felt it was hard to change my diet when I needed to lose 20 lbs. That was 10 yrs ago, and it has stayed off,with exercise and eating well.
i have found over the past few years how much easier it is to keep the weight off by eating whole foods. I no longer eat loads of cereal, sugar-added foods (lots of ‘protein bars-cliff, mojo,kashi’), or snacks.
I feel soo much better/healthier as well.
i know you eat real healthy, but you may see a difference if you cut out all the procssed food. I know its not easy to do, hopefully as you progress w/your weight loss, it will come easier (if ou chose to want to!)

I just went to the Special K website after reading your post and looked at all of their new Protein Packed Products. Wow, some of them look really good! I live in Canada and they don’t sell those items here, so I have to plan a cross-border grocery shopping trip (thank God I only live 30 mins from the border).

When I was unhappy with my weight gain about a year ago, I read something that really stuck with me. Something along the lines of “start now, the time will pass anyway”. Every time I tried to lose weight before, I would get discouraged thinking about how long it would take to lose the weight I put on (I tend to lose weight slowly). Feeling discouraged from the get-go was not a recipe for success. Thinking about how the time would pass whether I dieted or not changed my whole outlook. I may as well start now! It’s almost a year later and I’ve maintained a weight I’m happy with. I hope you stick to your good habits and reach your goal! You can do it.
