How I got started on this wonderful, yet challenging adventure

In November 2009, I went to the doctor because of a sinus infection and got the shock of my life when I was weighed. My weight: 260.4 lbs. I had never been that heavy in my life, and I knew that I had to change my habits. We didn't have a scale, and I just didn't pay attention to my weight gain until it came slapping me in the face that day at the doctor's office. I've been wide awake ever since.

Fruit Shake for 2

My husband and I love to make fruit protein shakes for lunch or dinner. And they are especially good for my weight loss, since they have only 1 g of fat per serving, and I get my fruit servings for the day as well! Here is the recipe:

6 ice cubes
1 cup of fat free milk
8 frozen strawberries
12 slices frozen peaches
1 fresh banana
1 container Activia vanilla yogurt
2 scoop vanilla protein powder
4 teaspoons fiber powder

Add ice cubes, milk, strawberries, protein powder, peaches, fiber powder, yogurt, and banana, in that order -- it blends the easiest that way. Blend for about 10 seconds until the frozen ingredients have been blended together. It makes enough to fill 2 tall glasses. And because of the protein and fiber powder, it is a very filling shake. If it weren't for the yogurt, it would be fat free as well! Enjoy!
