I'm about to start attempting to lose weight. I'm walking around at 275ish, 6'0". I don't really have a goal weight.

My plan of attack: breakfast and lunch shakes/smoothies or whatever and I am going to do couch to 5k. This will probably save me money also.

I'm not really interested in dropping the money on some of these prepared shake mixtures. I am looking for a good base for breakfast/lunch shakes. Most of these will be the strawberry/banana varieties. Can someone give me the base ingredients? I've read something along the lines of (1) soy milk or skim milk, (2) flax oil, (3) whey protein and (4) fruit. Does this sound about right?

Second day in a row of weighing in at lowest number I have seen so far. Yay!

I am having my go to smoothie this morning- whey protein, unsweetened almond milk (30 Cal per cup), plain Greek yogurt, one banana, 4-5 strawberries and a big handful of spinach. I take flax oil capsules.

Tip: Pre-portion your meals in tupperware for grab-and-go meals; helps tremendously.

I'm no pro, but this is my go-to:

cup or so skim milk
scoop chocolate whey
ice
banana

When I make a homemade shake I do

2 scoops whey protein (usually malt chocolate by gold standard)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 ripe banana
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Then I blend it up, fills me up decently....

I've also started taking fruit and cutting it and then acing it in oven on a low temp to dry it out. Those making me fruit chips to snack on
