Gaining Weight

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies, I have been listening to the conversations and have some

questions for you all. I have been doing the exercise portion of BFL

to achieve some fitness and weight goals. I am already pretty fit, but

over time have taken to carrying around an extra 10 pounds. After a

week and a half, I have gone up about 1 and a half pounds. Have any of

you experienced weight gain in the first weeks of the program? I have

been modifying my diet, but I am not strict with the food regiment. I

have adjusted portion sizes and I am eating less, and more frequently

according to the plan. I can't seem to give up the sweets though. I

was hoping to adjust my activity and eat more protein-less carbs. Is

this asking too much or do I have to completely change my lifestyles

to lose the 10? Also, I have been overdosing on cottage cheese for

protein - does anyone recommend a protein shake that you can buy at

the grocery store that is decent?

Thanks,
