    Weighing in:
    Last week- 134
    This week- 134

    AGGG. . . . . I WILL NOT hit a plateau!!! I am working way to hard not to see results!!! I guess considering the stress filled not so great eating week I had maintaining is better than gaining- hoping for better next week!

    The USDA says to consume less than 2300 mg a day. I try to stay well below that if I can. Sodium causes your body to retain water which means you won't be seeing those numbers on the scale drop (and your body won't be flushing out all the bad stuff it should be). Also salty foods generally make you want more salty foods along with something to wash them down with (generally not something good like water either). Another thing I wasn't aware of that the USDA site mentioned is that your sodium intake directly affects your blood pressure. Less sodium = lower blood pressure.

    If you're tracking everything you eat in MFP, you can go back over the last few days/weeks even and look at your sodium levels.

    Well weighed in at 178 - gained 1 pound. I chalk it up to TOM; I'm feeling extremely bloated and miserable. Guess it could be worse so I'll take only a pound gain. Maybe I'll lose that much more next week!!! :happy:

    Checking in...

    6/6 - Out of town, no weigh in
    6/13 - 224

    Soooo, I gained two pounds. This is what I get for totally slacking off with my workouts when I was on vacation. Oh and eating way more then I should. I feel bummed but am not going to get discouraged. I just have to work harder. If this came easy, everyone would be a twig!

    :flowerforyou: WTG reyna99! I'm so happy for you that after 6 wks that scale finally moved.:flowerforyou:

    This morning I weighted in at 246, which means no loss since last Monday. BUT technically I gained 1.3 lbs since my last weight in. I weight in on Tuesdays for a different challenge and weighed in at 244.75 last Tuesday. My TOM started last night so I'm hoping it's just lady time bloat and that I'll be back to 244.75 next Monday.

    I'm also on a NSV high so I'm not sweating the small gain :laugh:. When I started losing weight I wore a 22W. I had a non-scale goal of being able to by jeans/pants from Old Navy. I currently wear an XL or L at old navy depending on the shirt but my butt and thighs just weren't budging. About 5 weeks ago I went in to try on the 20 Regular just to see if they would fit and I couldn't even get them zipped and buttoned. FINALLY this Saturday I went in and the 20 Regular not 20W fit! I was SUPER excited. It was just what I needed to keep me motivated and on point.

    I'm loving Leslie Sansone right now and my new DVD should be here tomorrow.

    I have to try to slow down my weight loss because my sister is getting married in 4 weeks. I took my dress to a family friend to have it altered and it was huge all over. It'll be fitted this week and then I need to slow down. My wedding goal weight was 244 so I'm right where I wanted to be.
