I like to have a protein bar on standby because I have multiple food allergies. This is the only one (except I can't have pb ones) that I have found that I can eat. I order from vitacost.com. Sometimes they have a great sale (percentage off or dollars off ....this is when I try to order them). I agree they are expensive,…

Count me in :) I know I'm going to have to be dedicated and fix meals on Sundays. On top of my full-time job of teaching kiddos all day...........I instruct 9-11 exercise classes per week!! So I gotta be focused and dedicated! I have recently cut lots of foods out of my diet due to allergies and have cut way down on…

I have some of the same allergies, but just found out yday when I had a skin test done. I had been eating these foods and had been having all sorts of issues. I'm just not sure exactly what I'm going to do yet. I am also allergic to turkey, pork and lamb!!!

Pre packaged for are always easier, but not as healthy. You can buy grapes, carrots, apples, and other fruits, wash them, slice them up and put them into zip lock bags. Those are easy to grab when you are in a hurry. Also you can grill a large amount of chicken or other proteins and bag those as well to eat later. Also try…

I would say that you need to watch your sodium. Try to limit packaged and frozen foods. Such as soups, pizzas and macarronies. I try to limited processed foods in my diet. I know it is difficult, but these foods can limit your weight loss due to sodium and other ingredients. Add in more fruits and veggies.

If you are working out you need to make sure your macronutrients are correct.........it isn't simply calories in and calories out as lots of people suggest. I have fought with this for years now......and I just recently have been to a nutritionist. You can eat too much protein, it can affect your kidneys as well as your…

When most children don't know where their next meal is coming from, is serving them food that they aren't going to eat, whether it's healthy or not, going to help them??? I disagree that school lunches are fueling the obesity epidemic among children. One meal is not going to make a child obese. It worries me that children…

Update..........thank you for all the replies.........I have dropped 4 pounds in 3 weeks, in that time period I have only had two protein bars........I do not miss them. I ate the two yesterday and felt like crap all day!!! I have been eating "real food" for breakfast and have been using the Body By Vi shakes only for…

Resting it will help, but when you start back watch the miles. You didn't say how much you are running, but only increase your training miles by 10% each week. When I started running I developed IT band syndrome because I thought I was superwoman and started out running way too many miles. My legs were strong, but not…

I have exercise induced asthma. I apparently had suffered with it all my life on a smaller scale, but never realized it until I started running. i had several wheezing episodes during running and one that scared the daylights out of me afte running in colder than usual air. I went to the dr and was given an inhaler (which…

I'm 146 and want to weigh 120 also. Would be glad to join you!!

Pattan59 Watch those carbs...........add in some more veggies and protein :).............

I do my own workouts in addition to class. I strength train at least 2 to 3 times a week (at least I try) and I run. I doubt my body gets used to my routines because I change up songs very often. I add in toning songs as well as cardio. I never burn the same amount of calories during class. I also run. One of my…

I do measure everything. If it something like soup, broccoli, or other veggies I measure out into one cup portions. I cook my veggies once a week and measure out, I put some of them in the fridge and some in the freezer. i also measure out meats into appropriate serving size. I just have a hard time eating more than 1400…

Ok so I upped my calories, and have been watching all my macro nutrients. I've been really religious about it for two weeks.......yday was however somewhat of a bad day........did have a little impulse eating at church ( a piece of pizza). I'm still not losing weight and have actually gained 1.5 pounds. Is this normal and…

I am a Zumba instructor. Just go and have fun!! No one judges the participants, most people are watching the instructor to figure out what the next move is going to be. I have people of all shapes, sizes, ages and ability level in my classes. It is such a blessing to see people out there smiling and taking care of their…

No I haven't bee reevaluated for my allergies, but I have had reactions within the past year. Kiwis actually make my tongue swell and watermelon makes my throat itch and swell so I am not going to chance that again any time soon. I haven't eaten eggs in about 18 years. I can eat them if they are cooked into a cake or…

Yes I do drink water................lots of water. Sodium is tracked on my phone where I log most of my food, it doesn't show up here though. I don't normally go over the recommended sodium intake. Last week my only exercise was Zumba, because I was taking a recovery week from the other activities I was doing. (I had been…

and I need to add that I am allergic to apples, watermelon, and kiwi so some of my food intake is limited because of allergies. I also have some other allergies as well, but these are most prevalent.

jamie1888I completely agree that if I am going to eat protein bars/powders that they shoudln't be full of junk and sugar. The bars I eat only have 2 grams of sugar. I always look at the ingredient list and the nutrition label. The powder that I use only has 1 gram of sugar and has Vitamin B12, B6 and loads of other…

Thank you all for the suggestions and ideas. I will add in more fruit and veggies. I wil be looking at some other people's diaries (thank you to those who were nice enough to send me friend requests and offer their diaries for viewing). I know my diary this week looked bad and I agree it was.........I dont eat like that…
