May ended up not being much of a loss on the scale, but my clothes have been fitting so much better. For June my goals are: Check in every day, drink less, and lose 5 pounds.
Hope you are all doing well!
NSV are so important! Great goals for the month and well done on your loss this week.1 -

Do you track your salt? Sometimes salt can cause you to go up. How much water do you drink a day?
As women we all have a fluctuation of weight daily. I see me scale jump up and down daily. If you don't want to see it maybe just weigh 1 time a week, or average it. Water weight can really be a problem with us girls. 😉 it can Be discouraging but don't let it get you down. We all go through it and come out the other side happier.
I use a little tiny amount of salt. Sometimes I even forget to put salt to my food.
And water.... I drink a lot!
Thanks for your words
Do you eat packaged foods? Those can have a lot of salt. You would be amazed. If you prepare all fresh foods it will help witb salt intake?3 -

I do use cans. Like chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans... They all come in a can.
I've just checked and the chickpeas are having 0,10 gram per 100 g. The lentils and the kidney beans they both have 1 gram per 100 g. I don't know if that's too bad. I'm lost in those things.
And thanks again 2 -

Wednesday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: none
Water: not enough
Steps 6/3 1,921
Today I finally hit 60 pounds lost. It is like that was a stumbling block for me. Hopefully it is downward from here.
I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and its a combination of my asthma and bronchitis. On Tuesday my daughter had me go for a covid test just to be safe. It was negative which didn’t surprise me. I am on 2 puffers and prednisone orally for 5 days. I just want to get back walking and out of my apartment. I am required to self isolate until 24 hours after I have no symptoms. That means hubby has to grocery shop on Saturday. Here’s to hoping he gets everything.
Today’s goals
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Drink 8 cups of water4 -

When you set your MFP goals, you can specify which nutrients you want to track: carbs, sugars, protein, sodium ... etc. Then, when you log an entry, it will show you those values as well. In this way, you can track if your carbs or sodium are over daily goal. If I have a day where my carbs and sodium is too high, I'll shoot for lower values the next day and try to double-up on my water intake.2 -
@Marigorringo Sorry, see post above ... for some reason the "quote" did not work and did not include your name ... and I could not edit my post. weird
