Petra: which is better soy protein powder or whey protein powder?

when i went to GNC, there was a really young girl working and she wasnt sure.. so i looked for the one with the lowest carbs and no sugar and only .5 grams of fat .. so i ended up with the soy

Most people prefer whey protein for lots of reasons. I think it tastes better but also there are reasons you shouldn't eat too much soy. It can apparently hurt your thyroid for one, it also causes infertility in men. If you can take it back you might want to switch. The brand that most people think tastes best is Optimum Nutrition and it has about 1 gram per tablespoon. A lot of people also like one called Designer Protein. I don't know if they have that at GNC but they definately have the Optimum Nutrition (I use this one). Are you becoming a protein power girl?

Curly - congratulations on hitting the 30s .. YAHOOO!

Angel - glad that you had a wonderful time with your GF and we are happy to have you back.

Petra - I hope your days isn't too hectic tomorrow. Glad that you got a chance to get your domestic goddess chores done today

Hubby and I just got back from getting groceries and dinner is in the oven. I should do more work on my tax module, but I spent the better part of the day on it, so think I will just kick my heels up and relax for the evening. Tomorrow I will be right back to it.

Hope you all have a great evening and a relaxing Sunday.

Petra~ Yayyyy for you in ONEderland!!!!! Another PIC Milestone

Curley~ Yayyyy for you too!! You've been stuck for so long you deserve to take that later reading! Keep it up GF!

AngelEyes~ It's so nice to see you back! Glad your feeling better too. Hopefully it's out of the way for the winter now

TLB~ Relax tonight... that sounds wonderful. Have a wonderful evening!

*grouphugs* Ya'll have a great weekend.

Hi everyone,

I've been very bad today. I worked an adoption show and was upset and very hungry afterwards so I stopped for a mc donalds cheeseburger. Even worse for dinner I at 1/2 a 16 inch pizza. 4 big slices. Any idea how many calories in that?

I hate eating when I'm upset. Thats how I got this way in the first place. The day is so gloomy and rainy *blah*

Hope everyone is doing well!

well valerie.. just let yesterday be the past and start fresh today!!!
we all hit a lil bump in the road now and then.. just dont give up!!
Do better today.


heading back to GNC today to pick up the whey protein.. I will just mix the soy into it to spread it out and not waste it..

Curly-Our GNC will actully let you bring stuff back even after you open it as long as it is within a week I think so you may be able to take it back. Call them and ask.
You didn't answer my protein power question. I'll give you the addy for the bulletin board if you are interested.

Valerie-everyone has days like that. Just don't let it become "oh well, I've blown it now, may as well forget about the whole diet." You just forget about it and move on. Hopefully, those kinds of days get fewer and further between as time goes on.

Yep I'm a "protein power girl" or soon will be when i get my other protein powder! Ive been giving it a try with protein naturally found in food but i am really not much of a meat eater so i think the supplement will be a big help to me.. i found a yahoo group but i am not sure if its the same one u are speaking of .. so yes I would like to have the link..

i found this quote somewhere in my net travels and thought it was sooo true.. so then i had to play with the graphics>> if anyone wants one just right click and save..

OMG I am in shock here.. yesterday i bought a pair of size 16 lee jeans .. they have a lil strtch to the denim.. i said i will save em for later.. so this morning i say to myself lemme see just how much too smal they are.. so i try them and OMG.. they fit like a glove!!!!


happy dance!!

Thanks for the support everyone! Pizza seems to be my downfall. Whenever I was tired or not feeling like cooking we always ordered pizza. I need to figure out a way to NOT order pizza anymore because once it gets here I have no control.

It's ok. Today is a new day and I'm back OP!

Curly congrats on the jeans Soon I'm going to start buying some new clothes. I'm still wearing such baggy clothes. Pants with elephant legs that NEVER fit right. Its no wonder that no one can see my weight loss yet. Once I get those smaller clothes that FIT everyone will be noticing

Have a great day everyone!

u can take whole wheat pitas and make pizzas on them, just use ff cheese...

That sounds good Curly! I had a SB pizza the other day on a wheat crust. It was pretty good and only 350 calories!

am I ever glad that this day is almost over... I have read and read till I can't read no more. there is so much information in this tax book then I am going crossed eyed and the worse part is that I am not done

Another quiet day on the PIC board..

Petra ~ hope your day was too hectic
Valerie ~ good job at picking yourself up and carrying on. I know for me that one day can sometimes end it all, you done good kid
Curly ~ you are having a hot dang of weekend first the 30s and now your "little" jeans.. we bow to da of victories !!
Dee ~ how you doin ?!?! Hope you are having yourself a wonderful weekend.

Deerod, L2L, Mom, Turtle, Jennie, Lisa, MoonRay ~ Don't make us come looking for you

Okay Chiquitas, I am off to feed the belly. Have a wonderful evening and I will see you tomorrow.. same bat time... same bat station.

Ciao !

tomorrow i have an interview for a job.. but i am also in the process of interviewing for a job with the state.. (i would rather have the job with the state) so im not to excited about the one tomorrow...

ok i guess i better get moving here.. Have a great day pic's! & remember the 5 D's

hey Ladies,
I had such a busy weekend. Saturday I did a craft fair and sold my clothes, it went well but took up the whole day. Then Sunday was my big move in day. OUt of my sisters house, and into my own. Whohoo, it feels good to be able to unpack and get out of the limbo I've been in for the past 2 months. Its like Christmas, I am unpacking all kinds of stuff I forgot that I had.
I got the kichen unpacked, and our beds set up but that was about all I could do yesterday after the moving. I did take a long soak in the tub. yeah! my own tub!

No movement on the scale for me. What is going on? I will have to figure out a new excersise routine now that I moved from my sisters, I'm not sure if I'll be able to jog in the AM or not. I am teaching kickboxing this week because my teacher is going out of town. I'm a little nervous, I'm going to practice my routine tonight.

Petra and Curley, good jobs on the losses!!! Once I get off of this platue, I'll be right with you.

TEB, how's it giong, sounds like you still have tons of school work. I don't envy to much, I do miss school some times...

Val, sounds like a rough day, just try and learn from what you have done. I try to do that but then I still slip up but luckily, its less frequently than it used to be.

Angel, I hope you feel better soon.

Iwmon, Lisa, Deerod, L2L, Momx3, Turtle everyone else out there have a good one.
