I'd love to hear any stories from people who have lowered their sodium and the results. I'm wondering if this is why I've had trouble losing more linearly. Thanks!

    I watch my sodium. I try to stay around 1500mg a day. When I lost 40 pounds a little over a year ago with MFP I learned very quickly that sodium plays a HUGE part on my weight loss. When I wasn't keeping it under 2000mg I would carry water weight and my weight loss would stall. It would always take me at least 2 days of lower sodium eating in order to get rid of the water weight.
    Now that I've restarted MFP in january and kept my sodium at 1500mg I haven't had any problems with sodium and am continuously losing weight. I also drink a lot of water too, that helps flush out the sodium! :drinker:
