    Proteins to live by

    I looked through the 6 pages of threads and didn't find any titled proteins. What better way for us to be able to quickly find and share what we like and don't like. I am not a picky eater, but I kind of am. I do not like gritty foods. I do not care for a product that does not easily dissolve...

I would try so hard to get him to lose weight with me on whatever plan I was doing that year ( weight watchers etc...) He would...
