I am much more comfortable drinking protein drinks at this point, but if it is not doing me any good, then why?

Anyone know how I could speed up my matabolisum? This is driving me crazy! The most famous question...weight loss issues. lol.

HELP!!!Thanks.
You're doing fine as far as weight loss. Take it as a percentage of starting body weight vs the pounds. Example

450 starting weight - 60 pounds = 7% lost
250 starting weight - 35 pounds = 7% lost


Make sense?
