journey to the new me

Lotus68 why not try a whey protein shake as a meal replacement. It's a lot more healthy and has less sugar , you can make it a healthy as you want and you can continue to eat it as a high protein meal going forward. Congratulations on the good work not using your illness as an excuse not to get and stay healthy!

Lotus, I'm sure you will find it useful to track your food. Here's a tip that works well for me: I track my whole day's meals before I eat anything. That way, if I find the total calories is too high, I have time to change my mind. I delete a couple of things that I don't really need and substitute a few healthier options until I get to something that makes me happy. I don't always eat perfect meals, but at least I know exactly what I'm getting myself in for before the first bite even enters my mouth! Congratulations on your success of this past year! I'm sure you'll do even better next year now that you'll be tracking your meals with FitClick!
