April - here's how to make the SF Banana pudding: 1 box Jello SF Banana Cream Pie Pudding Mix 1 1/2 c skim milk 2 scoops vanilla protein powder 1/2-3/4 chopped banana 1/2 c SF Cool Whip Mix pudding mix, protein powder, and milk for 1-2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add chopped banana and cool whip. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or so until it thickens some more. I had found SF Snickerdoodles at a World Market store, so I broke one in half, tore it up in bowl, and added 1/2 c banana pudding on top - it'll give you about 10 grams of protein and tastes really good. You can also make protein pudding w/ any variety. Some of my favorites are butterscotch and also pistachio. Karla 337/245/150

I will do better on Exercise, I promise! Melissa

Welcome back Melissa I'm having a exercise issue too. I use to walk every morning and walk every evening after dinner. I'm slacking. Now I have to make myself walk at night after I eat. So I guess we both better get our butts in gear. Do you feel you have to eat more food to get the protein in or are you just chaning what you eat to more protein type foods? I need more protein but I'm too full to add more food. Your 84 grams of protein is great! Kay

Sometimes I feel like I have to eat more, which I hated! But now I just change what I eat. I read and weigh out everything so to get the portein in. My Doc. wants me to get 100+ but no less than 70. He does not want me to do shakes or bars. I also go for more food but I take a lot longer eating it. Like it takes me an hour to eat a cup of CCheese. BUT it must be working because I have lost 10 punds in a week and last month I had lost 9 pounds for the whole month. SO, I must be doing something right. LOL Melissa

Hey Melissa. My Doc said I had to up my protein as well. I already get on average 100 g a day! But he said to add a protein shake...I did for about a week. Do you take protein shakes? I mean, some people's docs say 60-70 g a day is enough. April

Nope, my doc wants me to do 100++ a day with out shakes or bars. He says no less than 70g a day. I just have changed what I have been eatting. It is crazy how doc all want different things. LOL Melissa
