Hi Everyone.

:glasses: Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Allen and I've been on a health kick for 3 years now. Back in 2009 I weighed 305 LBS for certain reasons of my past, I decided to change my life and save myself. I have made a workout regime to lose the weight. Do my 4 mile walks, and do some free weights to add more muscle. I've lost over 100 pounds but also put on muscle which weighs more.

Thing I hate about BMI is it says I should be 115 - 159 weight but with my tone and body build, it's impossible. So I just do what I can do.

I look forward to meeting everyone here and just stay healthy as I can with tips and help.

    Hi Allen,

    Not sure what kind of snacker you are ... me, mostly sweets! :)

    Sweets - 90 calories chocolate chip granola bars, 80 calorie nature valley dark chocolate/peanut butter granola thins, 100 calorie Yoplait Yogurts (all sorts of flavors like red velvet cake and boston cream pie)... etc.

    Non-sweets - um. dont venture here too often.... lets see..... veggies and hummus? fruit?

    Awesome ty. Yeah I've usually been doing my little fat free cottage cheese packs and then publix low fat yogurts (10 for $10) but it just gets old lol. Thanks for the response.
