Hi, New to Lightweights. Got a question

Hi Almost Thin! I hope to be able to use that to describe myself soon.

For those who aren't friends with majormom and therefore can't see her profile, Lori put a some nice pics here  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/4280141/Step-by-step-di %20rections-on-how-to-make-the-best-protein

 Welcome!  I personally hate sweet coffee so I turn my chocolate protein into hot cocoa. So yummy!

That is a great idea. Do you mix the protein powder with water or milk?

 Sometimes unsweetened almond breeze or soy. Usually water with a squirt of lite whip cream on top!

I couldn't do cold for quite a while so I did a lot of hot drinks.  We all do it a littel different.  I am still doing decaf instead of real coffee unless I am at a friends overnight who only has real coffee.  Then I have to be prepared to be wired all day, LOL. 

I use about 1/2c of warm water and add 1.5scoops of protein.  I used vanilla, chocolate, mint cookie mostly but have used others.  Then I use that as creamer for 2 large cups of decaf.  When I am making hot chocolate, I use a packet of swiss miss 25cal and make the protein the same way.  Same thing with Unjury chicken soup.  I've even done Syntrax lemon tea hot when I couldn't do cold anything. 

Don't worry about being a slow loser.  You have the rest of your life to be skinny.  Just keep on keeping on and it will work for you.

Thank you for the ideas. I sometimes just can't think of how to make ordinary things better and healthier. One question, when you say you do that with the Unjury chicken soup, you are making like a creamed chicken soup? Sounds wonderful!

It's a broth not creamy when made with water.  I never thought about making it with milk.  I put cooked broccali and cheese in it sometimes, or cooked cabbage.  I used it quite a bit in cold weather for a quick meal.

Welcome

Hi Mandy, good to be here and meet you.
