    I remembered that you mentioned that the recommended salt intake changed so I did a little research out of curiosity. I found that the suggested 1500 is for people over 51 and more specifically african americans with a high risk of hypertension. Although, they did change the suggested number for others...it is only lowered to 2300. This is a safe number for most and many should not be worried about as much as 2300. It's the fact that that is merely 1/3 of the average american's sodium intake. youch. I just thought I would let u know there is no need to get down about being over 1500. Eating clean, and limiting processed foods should take care of most any sodium concern. Youare doing an amazing job with it!
    I will be changing mine to 2300...most days I am comfortably under 2000, but some days I cut it close to 2500. :-/ keep it up!!

    With some advice, my sodium goal is now 2000, which gives me 6/7 instead of 1/7. :laugh:

    Its Feb 20th so I'm guessing the challenge is beginning for the following week, (last week of Feb). Anyway I'm in for the challenge, going to set my goal at 4500 cals for the week, and the under sodium as well. I'm new to the site, so hope I'm doing this right. Do I post my cals burned each day or how does that work??
