Making the biggest life change... UPDATED

I have lost about 40 pounds since June 2010, with the help of Goodlife fitness and Weight Watchers. I also do have a personal trainer 1 time a week!

That being said, I still have about 80 pounds to loose to reach my goal. Also, I have been stuck in a plato for over 6 weeks and decided that Weight watchers wasn't working anymore.

With the encouragement of my doctor, I went to see Dr. Bishop - weightloss management, here in Ottawa and have started a brand new High Protein, low carb diet.

I will say, it is tough! Tougher than weight watchers for sure.

What was the worst part is how minimal I can use coupons now. Luckily, I was able to trade most of them! Thank you guys! I would hate to throw any away.

Part of my new diet is that I am to eat about 2 protein bars a day, which can easily work out to over $3 each.

I had tried a few different ones and decided to buy $50 worth of them today at Shoppers so I could at least take advantage of 20x the points.

To my discovery I found...

Jamieson Slim down bars - 15g protein, 15g carb and 150 cal. Exactlly what I am to eat 2 x a day, plus they are on sale for $1.49 each. They had 5 different kinds too.

They also taste good! Horray!

I ended up buying 37 of them + 10,000 SDM points! for $58 dollars!

I ended up getting double the amt I would have normally got and the regular price is about $2, so even then it is cheaper than everywhere else!

Thanks for reading! I hope to reach my ultimate goal in the next 12 mths and will keep you posted!!!!

Congratulations - You're doing a wonderful job!

Weight loss is tough...great deal on the bars!!!

Congrats Angie!!!!!

You are awesome to have worked that hard! Congrats. And thanks for the helpful info.:-)

Way To Go Angie - I know there are coupons out there for those energy bars maybe someone will post where.

Losing weight is tough Good for you for having lost 40 pounds - I have a little bit of baby weight still to lose and my baby is now 2.5 years oops I'm starting a Fat Burning Aerobics class in April and now that the weather is finally nice I'm going to start my walking again soon. My doctor also started me on B12 shots I guess it boosts your metabolism.

Good luck on the next phase of weight loss!

Hi Angie,

A good friend of mine who was severely overweight was seeing Dr. Bishop for a period as well. I've heard mixed reviews - but my friend did very well following his advice and succeeded in losing about 80 pounds the first year they worked together.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck in this journey. Losing weight is one of the hardest things someone can do, especially with the plateau's, the constant temptations to give up (and I mean *constant*) - but if you fight that and remember why you're doing this, you WILL make it happen.

Way to go! That is tough!!

Thanks all. It is a high protein, low Carb diet. Works out to 1400 Cal a day. You stay full and only eat healthy stuff. To be honest, my fertility doctor referred me.

Confrats on your loss, I wish you much success!! Keep us posted.
Great deal on the bars.
