I like freshly ground black pepper, oregano, or a splash of balsamic dressing. Also, many of the Mrs. Dash seasonings are salt-free. I'm working to reduce sodium myself and plan to check these out!

Just had my little victory with that evil thing we call the "scale"! I've been at a plateau for months and have been feeling really frustrated, and joined MFP in January to help track myself. I've been working hard to be more mindful of what I put in my body, and it's now starting to show a bit! I've lost 4 pounds in the…

And only 6 grams of sugar! Love those TJ's bars! Other favorites: Thomas' Multigrain English muffins (100 cals, 8g fiber!) w/ Smart Balance Olive Oil spread, raw almonds, trail mix (all unsalted nuts, sometimes with raisins), 100 calorie packs (most varieties) to satisfy sweet or salty cravings without the binge factor

Yes, I frequently eat past fullness and am slowly learning to be better about portion control and listening to my body. Also, if there is something "yummy" tempting me, I try to eat a portion-controlled size or just not eat it at all. Typically, if it starts with "just one" then suddenly I've had many... Best of luck in…

For me, I think sleep is slightly more important than exercise. If I don't sleep enough, I get irritable and also don't put as much thought into what I'm putting into my body. As for exercise, I try to get a good 45 min workout (35 elliptical, 10 strength) in 3x/week and be as active as possible on non-exercise days (ie-…

Finding non-food ways to reward myself for my progress along the way... like getting a pedicure, buying a CD, watching a girly show/movie, etc.

*I posted this in another PCOS thread, but wanted to share here as well.* I have PCOS and find it extremely difficult to lose weight. I'm currently about 235 pounds, and don't ever remember being below 200. The lowest I got was in 2004, when I got down to 206 pounds after a summer of an active job and daily workouts. My…

I am definitely a stress/emotional eater, but am trying to be more mindful. First off, I notice I eat more throughout the day if I don't have a good breakfast, so I always try to eat a breakfast of about 350 calories. If I do have fast food, I at least try to take it home and add something healthy to it-- a small salad, a…

I find I over-eat at dinner and snack more in the evenings if I didn't eat a filling breakfast. I aim to get about 350 calories in my breakfast; any less than that and by dinner time I'm starving, over-eat, and then feel both overly full and guilty. Examples of good breakfasts (for me) include: Slim-fast or Kellogg's…
