    Day 3 of walking everyday - did 5.6km burning 283 cals. Did 20 jumping jacks today, but won't be so good on the sodium today - i scheduled in some popcorn for this evening - staying within cals.

    What number for sodium are people trying to stay under. Mine is set for 2500 but that sounds awefully high.

    Mine's at 2500, but I aim for half that.

    My max is 1500 for sodium, but I try to stay under 1000 if possible. I always have my eyes open for low sodium snacks and foods. (My low sodium is for my kidney stones, though. My doctor also wants me to stay around 80mg of calcium a day also.)

    As a side note, I hit my first large goal of 50 pounds lost today. 50 pounds in 100 days. The next fifty will probably take 200 days, but I know I'll get there!

    Edit - I started doing my 20 jumping jacks last night, but realized at #8 I needed to visit the ladies room and then got distracted and didn't finish. I'll do 32 today to make up for it...

    Well something let loose today in my body and I went from 161 yesturday to 157 today. I know it is all water weight - but at least the dreadful 160's is gone. Will do the jumping jacks today, and hope to get in my walk. Looking like I will be over my calories today, family decided they want tacos tonight.

    Oh yey I made the top losers last week :-D sooo exciting!!!

    This week not so good - 149.2 only 0.2lb loss I think but I have a lot of sore muscles and TOM so I'm putting it down to water weight and hoping for a big loss next week. However I wont be logging in next week because I'm on holiday!!! Will log my weight the day before I leave (Sunday) for my final weight of the challenge if that ok?

    Looking forward to the next challenge already!! xxx
