    I recently discovered that my sodium intake was off the charts. This week I started monitoring my daily sodium and make a concerted effort to keep it under 2300 mg. It's working! My clue that sodium was a problem--my blood pressure, which used to be low to normal, suddenly was 140-160/ over 70-80. All the processed foods, like my fav deli chicken, diet frozen meals, soup, etc., are high in sodium. The wake-up came when I noticed my sodium was three times the RDA the day I ate a "lite" meal at a popular chain restaurant!!! My weight loss seems to be more steady now.

    This is normal for some of us, Don't panic. Same thing happens to me. I weigh in every Friday morning and only lose every 2nd week. No matter how much good I am the scales only seem to move every other week. As long as the numbers are going down I'm not too worried. This is how my body works..

    Thanks for posting everyone. I'm in the same boat as the OP. This past week, I exercised every day, only ate my 1200 net calories and did not lose one ounce. I'm depressed and frustrated.

    Thanks everyone. I guess I just keep doing what I'm doing, drinking my water, keep moving, and hope for the best.
