    Welcome! To answer your sodium question. Mfp already sets a guideline for you which is 2500. it is one of the things that you can set to be a focus in your diary. Sodium plays a huge role on water retention and blood pressure. It is easy to monitor really. The fresher the food the better, processed foods tend to be high on sodium, blech! Restaurant food too-through the roof. Anyhow, don't stress over it, but it is a good thing to be aware of!
    Glad you guys joined us!! :)

    Yesterday I had HORRIBLE Evening Munchies Syndrome.

    Sabrina... Great fiber goal! MFP automatically gives people a really low fiber intake, so that's nice to see!

    I aim for less than 2000 for sodium.

    I think it's cause I just tend to eat a lot of bland stuff... I *WISH* my food had more flavour. I usually add spices to stuff that I make from scratch, or else eat it without much flavour.

    haha loveme: I knew I did them often but I had never really counted. I usually get in 3 sets of 45 jacks 3 or 4x a day.... maybe twice a week.
    But I just did them and went with it. Tomorrow is running and step ups in my circuits.... so no jacks tomorrow lol

    Hello everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

    This challenge sounds like a lot of fun!! I am definitely interested however, I just had a partial hysterectomy exactly 1 week ago. My doctor's app't is on Friday. I'm not sure when I will be cleared but, wanted to know if when I am cleared for exercise if I could still participate?

    I have been watching my sodium and reduced it to 1500 in my diary. I have also increased my fiber to 25-30 per day.

    This sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to meet new friends!!!

    Have a wonderful day!!!!
    Sabrina
    Absolutely! And I hope you recover quickly! :-D

    How very sweet of you Shawnalee!!! Thank you!!! I think this will be a fun group!!!

    Hello girls!!! :flowerforyou:

    I just finished reading all the posts!! You all are doing a wonderful job with your sodium and jumping jacks!!!! :drinker: BTW...that's a water toast!!! :laugh: I am so jealous! I can't wait to start moving again! Which leads me to my next question....yesterday was my birthday and my fiance said he would buy me a new HRM for my birthday! I've been looking at Polar FT7 or FT40. I need something that is waterproof as I live in Florida and do workouts in the pool. If any of you can offer any suggestions or add input I would appreciate it! I would like to order one by tomorrow so that I have it soon. I'm hoping the doc releases me on Friday to at least start walking!!!!! :wink:

    Keep up the wonderful job girls!!!!

    I have a Polar FT7 and I love it! I think when I was reviewing it, someone stated it was water proof but Im not sure. I wasnt looking for the feature because I rarely exercise in the water. You should go to Amazon and read the reviews for each. Hope you find the right one for you!

    Glad you chose to join us! Better late than never! ;) We do a new one each week so welcome aboard.

    Sabrina. I know someone who has the FT40 and they swim with it. So that seems suiting. I have the FT4 and I love it. It is waterproof but does not read under water-I don't swmi for exercise though so no biggy. I hope you find the perfect one!

    :laugh: Seriously...

    For yesterday... I didn't log my snacks in the evening, but I've got to say yes, cause it was "just" sweets, and I made them myself, so I know the sodium was minimum.
