    Hey Everyone,

    I actually have two goals for September. The first is to exercise at least 60 minutes everyday. I have been struggling lately and it is showing or not showing on the scale. The second goal is to plan my meals. I think I am doing something wrong, eventhough I make certain to stay within my carb limit or at least close to it. Something's gotta give!!

    Hi there, ladies! and Welcome VJ150!

    My personal goal for September is to lose 5 pounds - as I said on another thread, doesn't sound like much, but I"m losing slow and I have a week-long seminar/vacation the last week of September in Orlando - so that week will be a challenge just staying on plan! But having a goal makes it easier....

    Let's ROCK this!

    :heart: exercise 5 days week/60 minutes
    :heart: be more consistent with staying alcohol free
    :heart: stick to my high protein, high fat low carb plan....

    hopefully that will yield a 3 pound loss for the month!

    1. Low carb high protein all month
    2. Exercise at least five day a week 45 minutes per day

    Does anyone know of a low carb wrap that isn't loaded with sodium. I've noticed if the carbs are low the sodium goes thru the roof. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Great goals Poot! :smile:

    As for the low carb wraps...look and see if you can find one called Tumaro Gourmet Tortilla. They make a whole grain, salsa and a few other flavors-the fiber and carb counts are great, they taste great and the sodium in the salsa wrap is only 125mg. :smile:

    Thank you so much for the info. I just looked them up online and they have at least 200 mg less sodium than the ones i'm using now. I can't get them in my area but I can order them online. Thanks again.

    You're welcome Debbie! I guess I'm lucky-my grocery store carries a wide variety of the Tumaro tortillas and they are considerably lower in sodium than most. I'm using the new Mission Carb Balance tortillas right now for a change of pace-the sodium is higher but since the rest of my my food is low sodium, it balances out. Where are you ordering from? I ask because I've had great luck with netrition.com Great prices and quick shipping!

    My September challenge:

    * Keep my carbs under 20 a day
    * Eat at least 4 servings of low-carb veggies per day
    * Cut down on Diet Coke & replace with water
    * Try to fit exercise in around my crazy schedule
    * Have only one piece of cake for my birthday LOL
    * Lose another 8 lbs by my son's birthday on the 30th


    I have alot of other goals that aren't specifically related to my diet, but are more related to general health!

    Here's to everyone having success with their September challenge!

    I can order them off the Tumaro website. I have used netrition in the past also with great results.
