That is ridiculous! But sadly, not surprising. I started having problems and warning signs in my early 20s, they told me I was "internalizing" stress. It wasn't until I was 28 and 8 months pregnant when I went into a full blown svt and needed adenosine that they said, oh, I guess it wasn't stress! I know that sometimes…

It's scary when it happens! Ive been lucky that it hasnt happened at the gym, but sometimes I've had those flutters that feel like it's going to and get really light headed. I didnt really like wearing the monitors either, the wires and stickets are irritating to my skin. The worst though is it happening when I'm driving!…

It didn't have a lot on it, but it's hard to tell exactly how much it was to the gram without having made it myself. I'm pretty familiar with sizes of things, I was a professional chef in my pre-kids days. :) Unfortunately chef does not equal nutrition and fitness expert.

Ok, those are all really great suggestions. I can see where I can be more careful, some of it was sloppier than it should be. The pizza was from a local shop, NY style with a thin crust, just cheese. Eating out doesn't happen too often for me, last week was weird in that. The walnuts were a guess because I'd forgotten to…

Mine originates in my atrials, they were able to catch it while I was getting fitted with a Holter monitor at the hospital (talk about convenient lol). I still need to go to the electrophysiologist to have my heart mapped, but they think I should benefit from ablation. I don't have any specific, isolated triggers, but when…

I have unstabilized SVT, (among other non heart issues) it certainly makes a difference in what you have to pay attention to!

I should also add that the recipes I create, the ingredients are weighed. I'll try and be even more careful, it's just upsetting when you feel like you are and then it seems like nothing happens. Thanks everyone

I do have a food scale and weigh most things. I've run into the problem of not being able to find the correct unit when logging sometimes. I'll see if there are more things that I can weigh. It's usually just things like teaspoons and tablespoons that I'm measuring, or liquids. Can not weighing things like lettuce cause…

It's not my totm, I'm drinking 80+ ounces of water a day. Most days I'm under sodium limits. I did have 2 meals this week that were on the salty side though. Could that have derailed it?

You can add me too! I'm in a similar boat. 5'5" currently 262, goal is 135-140. I started at 278. 16 down, 127 to go. Anyone fell free to add me!
