I would suggest going to an allergist and getting some real testing done. I just went last week because I was getting hives on my chest and neck everyday for years. Lately it's been getting worse, and I finally figured out why. I'm allergic to corn, eggs, white potatoes, oranges, cantaloupe, white potatoes and carrots. I…

I"m having the same problem, I just found out that I'm allergic to eggs, white potatoes, carrots, oranges, cantaloupe, and corn. Egg is a HUGE problem for me because I'm a pastry chef... looks like I'm going to have to find a new career. Also, I've never realized until I found out about these allergies, how much processed…

Yes, 1700 calories in everyday and I burn about 300 at the gym doing weights and cardio. I've been eating a lot of food that I'm allergic to and just wondered if anybody knew about food allergies causing weight gain.

I've lost 1.5 inches around my waist, above my belly button, 2 inches around my hips, 1.5 around my ribs, and .5 inch around my waist where my pants fit, and none around my arms.

Right, I've only been eating the 1700, I don't eat more than that when I exercise. I'll start weighing my foods and hopefully see a difference.

Thanks for the feedback! I do like walking, and since the weather has been nice I have been walking about 4 miles a day every Fri. Sat. and Sun. for the last month. I will definitely start weighing my foods, lower my calorie intake, and up my cardio and see if I have any different results than what I'm seeing now! I'm…

Well maybe that's the problem then too... I use my HRM every time I workout. I do some cardio between reps, like burpees and heisman shuffle. How do I track how many calories I burn then if I don't use my HRM while weight lifting? This is also the first time I've actually tried to workout and eat healthy and expect…

Okay! Thanks! First time on the website....

I do do 3 reps of each exercise, I try to get my heart rate up and alternate between 2 exercises. So I'll do rows, then an ab exercise for example until I do 3 reps of 10-12 each. Normally dumbbells on arms day, 12.5 pound weights normally for my arm exercises. I do a lot on the yoga ball. I use the kettle bell a lot as…

I don't weigh my food. I'll start doing that. Thank you all for your help! I appreciate it!

No I don't.

Thanks for your help! And I do use a heart rate monitor, I LOVE it!

I eat 1700, and then normally burn 400 calories by working out everyday.

So if I may be eating too much, does anybody have any suggestions on how many calories I should be eating if I want to lose fat?

Do you think I should be eating less calories? I thought it was pretty crazy that I've gained so much weight in 5 months too. Last year at this time I was 138 pounds and didn't workout or eat very healthy. It's just really discouraging.

I was eating 1500 calories a day for the first 3 months, and was hardly noticing any changes. I did some research and everywhere I looked it said I should be eating 1700. I eat healthy, lots of fruits and vegetables, I drink 8 cups of water a day, stick to whole grains, and barely drink alcohol. I'm getting allergy tests…
