Losing weight and getting healthy is the best reason, but maybe you need another motivation like after your daughter was born.

Hi cjen, If I'm reading our post correctly, you've lost 9 pounds in 5 weeks. Is that right? If so, that's great! 52 weeks in a year divided by 5 weeks = 10 weight loss periods x 9 pounds = 90 pounds loss in a year.

Try unsalted pretzels?

Fill out your Profile info on MFP, set goals and try to keep close to them. I have had good success using MFP numbers, but see what works for you. I would say Good Luck but it's about staying positive and walking away from food when you know you don't need it. So, Stay Positive.

My real weakness is sweets, not salty snacks or bread or pastas. If I get the sweets out of the house I do OK. But I guess craving one poor choice is the same as the next. Another good idea is before you eat that snack try drinking a glass of water or even brushing your teeth. I camp a lot, when I do my survival instincts…

One pound at a time, one good decision at a time.

I should say "No salt added", not No Sodium.

You can get Sodium free chicken and beef broths.

Watch for foods without sodium, more are being produced. Snacks w/o sodium now include pretzels, tortilla chips, etc. Then yeah, like has been said, cook more at home. You do know you can add Sodium to the things My fitness Pal measures ... right?

I think we need a office of Chaplaincy.

I feel your gain.

There you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Cast-Iron-Starline-Cow-Water-Bowl-Waterer-Watering-Livestock-Cattle-Dish-/260896100172 A cow licked it ! You must have been close to an old farm or barn.

Good question, a little meticulousness, but good. Use a good quality scale on a level floor, hold a 4 pound bag of sugar and see if your weight goes up exactly by 4 pounds, what else?

Look for Pomodoro receipts.

Try Sugar Free Jello chocolate pudding?

I gained some back also. Thanksgiving got me - it was hard to track was my excuse. Then my brother passed away and now here I am ready to pick it up again.

It's really good that you're thinking in that direction, log everything.

Good luck to you, stick with it.

I'm right there with you. Boarder line diabetic on 12-1-2011. Started MFP on 1-2-2012. On 5-1-2012 lost enough weight to where numbers were good and quite taking 1 of 2 blood pressure pills, per doc. Goal is 15 more pounds to get in healthy range of BMI. Good luck to you.

I'll eat the same things on a regular basis, like an Oven Roasted chicken sandwich from Subway with the same stuff on it. Also, my wife will prepare the same recipes that we eat most weeks. I also like the repeatability of eating the same thing and knowing the outcome. I just like the routine of knowing what I'm going to…

Of course you need sodium (salt) to survive but the problem is not so much the salt you add, it's the sodium that is built in. Most meats especially chicken and beef have salt pumped into them, sometimes called broth. You can find meats without salt pumped in. Chicken is pretty available without broth pumped in. If you are…

To the Hat, the Horn & the Hoss!!!

Give it several tries : ) Hope you achieve a healthy body.

You can look at the nutritional value of various foods and then delete them. They don't have to stay on your Food listings.

Howdy. I'm a trail rider, would like to do an endurance ride one day.

It doesn't have much water or fluid and how would you measure how much liquid it had? What do you normally drink?
