I'm thinking I will run in and have my blood pressure checked a few times and see how it is. If it's running lower than normal, probably talk to the doctor and see if there's a connection to my sodium levels. The light headedness I noticed was very minimal so I'm not overly concerned. I haven't noticed it the last couple…

For me it's more a case of just not really liking food that is too salty. I add a little when I cook, never at the table. Also I rarely eat out or use processed foods, both great sources of sodium. I never thought it was an issue until I read that the daily recommended amount is 2300mg per day. I usually have about half…

Thanks for the responses. I rarely look at my sodium levels, didn't really know it was a big deal. I just looked at this past month's graph of my sodium intake and see that for the most part I'm running under 2300mg, several times even under 1000mg, only twice over 2300mm. I have had a couple light headed moments. I do add…

Sorry RuNaRoUnD, not sure what you mean. I've also been trying to figure out how to add the instructions. Do you mean the instructions go into the recipe forum not with the ingredients? If that's right it seems pretty cumbersome.

I agree Candice1970s. I feel like I'm following all the rules, have stayed within 50 calories under or over my daily calories, met my other macros pretty closely, too, and this morning, two weeks in a row, no loss. Bummed. The first three weeks I lost 11 lbs so I'm not altogether unhappy but come on. I'd sure like to see…

Oh geckospot, I'm not very good at these forum things. I just clicked on my discussions and saw that you had responded. The ingredient I was trying to add wasn't really a big deal. It was Cafe Bustelo Regular Columbian kcup coffee. All I kept finding was Cafe Bustelo Espresso k cup which I also use. It was in the database…

My husband has a mild case of psorias on his skin, just a few patches. Topical creams usually keep the patches under control but they never disappear completely. I've often wondered if certain foods might trigger his flare ups or even keep the patches from clearing up.

Thanks all for your responses. Food for thought, no pun intended. I had an appointment at the spine clinic yesterday and the xrays showed my lumbar area as a mostly white, fuzzy mess with no discs to speak of. Surgery doesn't seem to be an option so the next step is an MRI to see about stenosis, etc. which may or may not…

Thanks! I think I've even done it before just couldn't find it back. Just seems like it might be easier to have a link to that in the recipe maker section.

What's the difference between a keto plan and low carbs? I'm pretty new to this, trying to stay under 36 total carbs a day. I don't test for ketosis but if feeling like the army has marched through my mouth even after drinking a lot of water, I would say I'm there.

Thank you so much, I see it now. Must learn to read the whole screen. Ha, ha!

Wisconsin!

Ha! Did it and it worked great. I not only was able to change the year but also reset it to my weigh in day of Sunday instead of Wednesday, the day I started with MFP. Thanks again!

Thanks CyberTone, I'll see if I can find that. It'll sure help all my info to mesh.

I'll definitely keep a closer eye on it. I really should start planning menus even if it's just the day before. I have gotten better at finding foods I can add to fill in where I need them for the day. For instance if I'm a bit low on calories, fat and protein, I'll have an ounce cube of Queso Fresco. Would your advice be…

After week three I've lost 11 pounds. 6 the first week, then 2 and this week 3. The better loss this week could be because I adjusted my macros to go a bit lower on carbs and a little higher on fat. I ended up running a little below all my levels - calories, fat, carbs and protein most every day but I feel good, no urge to…

I guess I'll try it for a few weeks and see how it goes. I can always adjust if it's not working. Thanks!!

I didn't know I could change that but keto is what I'm trying to do. Do those macros look about right or should I change them for quicker weight loss. Frankly, working this hard for a 1 lb loss per week is a bit disheartening.

Got it! Thanks so much dejavuohlala!
