Sun,

Are you doing protein shakes? I would highly suggest if you AREN'T that you

immediately start. Get a can of protein at the health food store, or go to

www.vitalady.com as she has samples, or I have found

www.affordablesupplements.com to be quite inexpensive too, although can't order

samples. I am not advertising for either one of these companies. I buy my

protein from Discount Nutrition, GNC, or wherever I can find it the absolute

cheapest... I like Proscore or Pure Whey stack the best, but each to their own

liking. The one YOU like is the one that is right for YOU.

take care,
