Looking for Suggestions - in a little state of panic!!

Over the weekend I ate chips like there was no tomorrow, and 'gained' 2 pounds over night. For the next two days I drank more water than I usually do, and 'lost' the 2 pounds.

I did a little searching on this site, and came across a blog entry by Jitteryspork that was very informative.

Thank you!

Overall, I don't think you are not doing terrible
I would suggest you find a substitute for the processed lunch meats
(these are always way too high in sodium) & try to drink more water.
maybe add more fruits/veggies as snacks rather than processed foods (something I have to work on myself)
Just look at the nutrition labels while shopping....each week try & improve on one/few things.
It's all really a work in progress.....we all struggle at one time or another......
hang in there we can do this together! :bigsmile:

I see you live in PA....what part???

I am from Philadelphia. I don't know where you shop but If you are from Bucks , Delaware , Montgomery County, you may have a food basic store near you. They are great for fresh and frozen veggies. milk, breads, cheese, eggs, salt free canned tomatoes, beans, rice, any ethnic foods (weekly). Shop Rite for Meats, snacks, specials. (monthly)
Thanks - I am right outside Philadelphia.
