    I’m not a big snacker but my favorite healthy snack is probably a hard boiled egg sprinkled with pepper - sometimes the whole egg, sometimes just the egg whites, depends on my mood/how many calories I have

    Welcome Jim! You are another inspiring story of weight loss. My daughter just had an ablation in August for SVT - her heart rate would jump into the 220's several times a day. So grateful for the ablation - it was very scary/disruptive while it was occurring! You must be feeling so much better now.[/quote]

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Glad your daughter is feeling much better. Yeah, I had those days when my heart rate would go thru the roof and my wife had to take me to the ER. It's scary. I couldn't walk a half mile without feeling so tired and my heart beating a mile a minute. And I was on so many heart medications that made me feel sick as a dog every single day. But after the ablation, I feel so much better. I don't take any medication except OTC meds like allegra, magnesium, etc

    Went to my Cardiologist today and my numbers are great. I do have a loop recorder implant in my chest that records ECG and cardiac arrhythmias that is transmitted to my Cardiologist, and so far so good.

    @slimn2016 Nancy, I am trying to drink more water and I know you are a rock star in this area! Do you add anything to your water? I am focused to drinking 96 oz a day right now. Many thanks friend!

    @shbarbor - I love hummus! I really prefer it with pita chips over veggies though which makes it less healthy. I could eat hummus all day, every day though!

    My favorite healthy snack are Alyssa's Cookies. Gluten free, NON- GMO, no added sugar, high fiber and low net carbs. It's the last thing I eat, usually before 8pm with a cup of decaf coffee.

    Hello everyone!

    I am Meg, 37, mom of 2, full-time teacher and wife of a farmer/volunteer firefighter.

    I have had a long journey on mfp with lots of ups and downs but the most important part is that no one here has ever given up on me, and even when I mess up, I keep coming back!

    I’ve lost and gained many times, never huge amounts but enough to not have a memory of a time that I was happy with my weight and feeling great. Lately, aside from my appearance and self-esteem, my weight is drastically impacting my quality of life. My hip and my foot hurt every time I get up from sitting or sleeping and lately the pain is pretty much constant. I know with absolute certainty that this is a weight problem for me.

    I know what to do, I even know how to do it but I fall off the wagon over and over again.

    My November goals are to:

    Hit 12, 000 steps a day
    Jillian Michaels 3 times a week
    No eating past 8:00
    TRACK CALORIES EVERY DAY!!

    Oh, I’m also a major tea drinker. I have more than 60 flavours of loose leaf teas and infusions. I may have a problem..... but I never add milk or sugar and I have an assortment that can satisfy whatever I may crave.

    Tonight’s tea: apéro spritz. It’s dried orange, pineapple, beet, apple and a bunch of other fruits. Caffeine free :)

    Hi Sally👋😊 No... but I do drink decaf teas though and I add Stevia drops to them. I also drink SmartWater for the added electrolytes --I usually bring 2, 33.8 oz. bottles with me every day. It gets harder to drink the water when the Boston weather starts to cool down though. So hot teas become vital to my fluid intake, especially come winter.

    What is your favorite healthy snack?

    My go to is a protein shake. 👍👍👍

    I like Quest Bars bc they are easy to grab and go/pack last minute, low cal, loaded with fiber, protein and the net carbs are low. I only can have the ones made with stevia though....some of their bars contain Sucralose/aspartame, which I avoid.
