What is everyone's favourite thing to snack on?

And asking on behalf of woowoo, what do you guys drink other than water?

@bobbob @HumanExMachina @sassy123 @Innocent Forever @Ineluki @Kiwi2016 @Paisley @cvb2377 @Woowoo @Lightsout
Just water.
At the moment not having colouring or MSG, will see how long can keep it up for (just coz' they're supposedly unhealthy) which cuts out Fanta Zero (orange) the only other drink I have (and Apple Tango which seems to be non-existant).

Usually end up eating granola bars. Then there's the really not healthy snacks which I'm purposefully going to omit from this response. Other than that, I think most kinds of fruit are good... my favourites are nectarines, pears, pomegranates, and cherries.

I drink a lot of tea. Also (even though most people I've met hate this next thing) I like those aloe vera juice drinks

Well done Petal that's brilliant.

What do you drink? It's something I struggle with. I don't enjoy water - I drink as much of it as I can because I know I should but it's boring. But I don't know what else to drink that isn't packed with sugar (I don't tend to drink diet drinks as I don't like aspartame)
Hi Im not a big fan of water and probably drink too much tea. But what helps me to drink water is to drink hot water on its own (once its cooled down a bit). Sometimes I forget if I have hot water or tea in the cup - as the brain kind of adds the tea flavour somehow.
I think diet drinks are for sure very bad news and if anything its better to drink coke than diet coke.

I'm getting loads of ideas here, you guys are awesome. I noticed that no-one mentioned green tea too, that's surprising.

@Woowoo will be very happy with me, now girl you have loads of ideas of what to drink :)

OK. Another question...do any of you have long term goals? Where do you see yourselves next month or next year in relation to health and weight loss. I want to lose 2.5 (35lbs) by Christmas week. I'm positive I can do it :D My issue is keeping up the motivation. So let's just hope I can pull it off and feel great about myself.

Wow we're all awake early this morning @bobbob and @Petal

Thanks for the drinks ideas everyone. I do drink green tea quite a lot, but I don't always fancy a hot drink. I'm going to try iced tea. I drink it from Starbucks but never at home.

My longer term goal is to lose 14 lbs by Chistmas

Yes @Woowoo there's nothing better than laying in bed on a Sunday morning chilling with SF and listening to calming music.

You can definitely reach that goal of 14lbs. I know you can. You are great with food and exercise, maybe cut down by a glass of wine in the evening or drink ssomething lower in calories? :)

You should feel great about yourself whatever your weight Petal. You're a very kind person.

Yes I would rather drink coke than diet coke bob, but I probably drank too much of it over the summer so need to find alternatives.

I went off diet products a few years ago after I read something about all the chemical stuff they put in instead. So, now I eat butter, full fat yogurt etc just in moderation.

I had a couple of glasses of wine at the pub on Friday night, but that's been it this week. At home I've been drinking gin and tonic instead. I haven't had the slimline tonic, but fever tree is pretty low in calories so much healthier than wine. Last night I used frozen blackberries as ice cubes which gave it a really nice flavour :)

You woke up and had an egg and now your going back to sleep?!?! If I woke up hungry in the middle of the night I wouldn't be bothered to cook an egg. I hope you did cook it bob?!

That sounds cool. They say vodka is the best drink for dieters :) Do you like vodka?

Been good the last two days with meal timing. My goal is to conquer the sweet tooth just for the day by banning it from my limited spending money for the week and see how I feel about it

I spend too much on sweets and junk food and not anything on savings for a house.
