Topic: RE: poll - favorite protein ?
I get my protein from food. My 'fallback' is Sorrento Stringsters -- The one w/ the 'Running Woman String Cheese' on the package. It has more protein than all of the other mozzarella/string cheeses out there, and I think 70 calories. My other 'staple' is hardboiled egg.
For awhile I did chicken and cottage cheese until I thought I'd grow feathers and lumps, but the taste of both have grown 'old'.
When doing shakes, I found that Trop 50 (Tropicana 50) and Vanilla mix [any brand] tasted like dreamsicles. My favorite had to be American Whey. I found American Whey at GNC.
Chocolate - I buy Body Fortress. (Wal-Mart)
American Whey has pretty good tasting stuff for all mixes. I don't recommend the 'berry' tho, unless you're going to mix it with milk or another fruit. It wasn't BAD w/ one scoop of berry and one scoop of a chocolate, tho .... plain berry was just overwhelming.
GNC has the shots/bullets, too in various flavors and double the protein of what you'd get at WalMart -- I think WM 's are 24g, and GNC's are ... 42, so not quite double, but still .... ;)
I found the Lemonade Special K2O water was the best tasting of the bunch -- didn't taste the 'protein' as much with it.
My favorite 'liquid that counts as water' has got to be GRAPE Powerade Zero. The other flavors are 'okay' but VERY VERY sweet. The 'blue' (Berry?) tastes like cotton candy to me ... awful sweet.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Topic: Shopping
I cannot grasp that it is possible. On the bottom, I am a size 12ish or 15 junior. Some were tight, but the 14's were mostly all big. I was trying on different shorts trying to find something that didn't make me look so short. I now own a pair of size 12, Levi bermudas shorts. Yea!!!
