I got some new alternatives yesterday that I'm excited to try today. I did try the quest bars yesterday and they were yummy. Today it's the healthsmart honey nut cereal.
I'll be out of town for a confernce next week and was trying to find carry on friendly non-restricteds that are ready to eat. So far I'm loving the quest bars.
Good morning !
Looking like its going to be a nice sunny day here in Northern Ontario Pretty soon our igloo's are going to melt away .
Ragdoll- Do you use the Quest bars for your breakfast ?

Mmm!!! I am loving the Quest bars too! I had the strawberry cheesecake one for snack last night! Yummy!
Good morning !

I too just tried the quest bars. I found the texture to be a bit chewy, but not too bad.
I am planning on switching to alternatives soon and an looking for a good tasting CHoCOLATE SHAKE MIX. Any reccomendations??
I did read the alternative forums, and I took notes but I must have forgotten to take notes on choc shake mixes. Lol!!
Morning y'all. It's going to be a gorgeous day here in San Francisco, high of 68 to 70 degrees. Starting of with my cup of coffee and snuggling with the puppies while I answer emails. Hope everyone has a great day!
Ohhhh now I can't wait for my Quest bars to arrive! I ordered them a few days ago online.
Today... I feel skinny! It's a good day. Love that feeling first thing in the morning. After no weight loss for 9 days, I've dropped 5 scale pounds in 6 days. (Yes, I weigh every morning)
Another busy day for me. Making sandwiches with the evil rotisserie chicken for the hubby and kiddo. (Lisa should get that one)
I think I'll have a hot coffee this morning (as my house was pretty chilly) and then maybe a chocolate/spinach smoothie for my morning protein

Lately, I've been having a restricted for breakfast. It helps with the hungries until lunch time.

I love the Proti-thin hot chocolate from Nashua Nurtition. It's good hot or cold.

Morning, All -- Nice to see everyone chipper this morning!
Big bummer about the rotisserie chicken, but can't say I am surprised. I am finding that there is much more cooking/prep on this plan than I initially gave it credit for. Very few, if any, convenience foods seem to apply. Oh well.
Do you all reward yourselves for mini-goals reached? I decided to reward for every 10 lbs. (So I got my first reward after week 1, LOL.) I think, to keep my eyes facing forward and not focusing on a smallish loss this past week, I will do a little virtual shopping for my next reward. I don't know what it will be, but it will be something fun, frivolous, and just for me! . . . Oh, and I s'pose a little house cleaning is on my horizon, too.
Good morning, it's another beautiful day in sunny Arizona. I have been out of the loop because of limited wifi where we are staying. What's the deal with rotisserie chicken? Is it injected with carbs? I have been staying op out here. My friend has been very supportive. We bring a little cooler with veggies, water and a rtd everywhere we go. Have a nice day!
Good morning everyone just came from wi down 2 lbs. Glad the scale is finally moving. Glad to look outside this am an see no snow in my yard. Hope everyone has a great day.
I wish I could say no snow in my yard too but hey at least it looks pretty. Hope everyone has a good OP Thursday! I'm excited to see my chiropractor this afternoon....back is killing me after shovelling mounds of snow yesterday and again this morning. 3 more weeks till spring....I hope....
Good Morning! I've been on IP since Oct and have done quite well. Lately I have been having pain in my lower side of my back and wondering if it's possibly my kidney? I have read that increase of protein can wreak some havoc on the kidneys but not sure if that's a myth or not? I have done the cleanse from IP as well as I drink a ton of water. If anybody has had this issue and can maybe point me in the right direction it would appreciated!
