Hitting a wall

I peeked at your diary and definitely you need to look for alternatives to cut down on salt. Not sure about your lifestyle but wondered about buying whole foods and making your own instead of ready meal things i.e. mashed potatoes have a lot of salt in whereas if you make your own (without salt\very little salt) it will be better. I gave up cooking with and adding salt to my food so only get the salt that is in whole foods I eat. It was tough but got used to it quite quickly. In fact now when I do treat myself to something like crisps I find them soooooo salty almost difficult to eat.

I also noticed that your calorie goal was over 2000 calories yet you are only eating 1400. Dare I say....you may need to eat more. If your figures have given you that level of calorie goal, only eating 1400 may be putting you into starvation mode. Maybe worth a try upping the calories in the short term to see if there is any difference. If you want to continue eating a lower calorie goal, can I suggest that you manually change your targets so that the other nutrients are set for that calorie goal. i.e. you are eating the salt percentage for 2000+

Otherwise you a have lost loads and you should feel very proud of yourself. Keep going and just tweek with your calories and nutrients to find what works for you and as you lose more weight you will need to tweek them again. This is a long slow journey to future success, not an express train ride lol. We are all learning from each other.

Hope this helps.

Cutting calories by that much isn't doing you any favors. When I first started going to see a nutritionist, she wanted me to have 1500 calories a day. I was still REALLY hungry trying to hit that number. I went to Weight Watchers, and they had me at about 2200 calories/day, I felt a lot more satisfied, and I was losing weight. Had something to do with taking in the right amount of calories and helping to rev up your metabolism.

Yes, you need to do what you can to decrease your salt intake too. The more salt you take in, the more water your body holds on to.

It's too early to tell if it's a plateau, but MANY many weeks into my journey, I noticed that I'd go 3-4 weeks losing anywhere from 1-4 pounds a week, then would go a few weeks either staying the same or losing about .5 pound a week, then would go back to 1-2 pounds a week. Stay on track long enough to see how your body reacts to losing weight....you might just be in a cyclical pattern like I've had.

Change your exercise routine. Do something different than what you normally do.

down 92 pounds here since october 2015
i'm also salt less for my BP that was above 172/120 but now since weeks at 115/72

keep going and don't use salt (if the doctor agrees)
