Do you know the sodium count for your stir fry?

HI I am 63 from Wisconsin. I have lost 69 lbs and still need to lose about 40 or so. I started because of high blood pressure need to control the sodium which is hard. I been a widow for 12 years. I have a daughter, a son-in-law and two beautiful granddaughters. My son died 6 years ago. I am retired and love it.

I use Penzeys Spices for most of my spices because they have a lot of salt free spices. Just type in low sodium recipes and a couple of web sites will come up. A good cookbook is 500 Low sodium recipes by **** Logue. I hope this helps because I am trying to get down to 1500 mg of sodium a day right now I am at 2000 mg a…

I am 63 and a grandma. I have lost 66 lbs in the last year. You can add me.

I don't cook with salt or bake with salt. I have a history of high blood pressure so need to keep sodium way down. I have my sodium sat at 2000 per day. When I went to the doctor I was told I need to get it down to 1500 per day. I have found a lot items with no add sodium so only natural sodium. When I eat out I try to eat…

I buy the Fiber One Protein bars. Dark Chocolate Almond and Chocolate Chip. About 130 calories per bar. I buy these because they are low in sodium which I need to watch. I eat them morning, noon and evening. It depends on my calories for the day and if I am hunger for a bar. I hope this helps.

I have a Polar FT7 which I purchased from Amazon for $76.00. I exercise with someone using a Polar FT7 with no problem.

I eat around 1880 a day. I don't eat my exercise calories back and I am losing about a pond a week. I try to low the calories and didn't lose anything . MFP tells me I should eat 1560 a day this wouldn't work for me. My exercise is walking with a HM. at least 5 days a week and sometimes 6 days.

I am 63 and have lost 57 lbs and most of it is from my stomach which is where I needed to lose it.

I also wonder what my son would have been. He died a week after is birthday at 30.

You can friend me. I am 63 and trying to lose at least 50 more lbs. I been on MFP since Jan and lost about 34 here and had lost 20 before I joined. My exercise is walking and I drink alot of water.

I am 63 years young don't feel my age. I am trying to lose weight by walking and calorie counting. So far 54 pounds but many more to go. We have didn't health problem then the younger people. I have blood pressure issues so watching sodium is important foe me.

Yes I agree. Need more support because we have other health issues that younger people don't have.

I do the same thing. Enter the food I will eat then I know the calories. IF thing are to high in sodium which I need to watch I go with steak, baked potato and salad. These always fits in my calories.

Hi I am 63 so you can add me as a friend. I been on for 6 months.

I am 63. Add me as a friend

Add me. I have been on for about 6 months. Need to lose about 60 more pounds. Depends on the doctor. Fighting a history of high blood pressure. So could use the support also. I am a walker and just starting to jog a bit.

I have one. Honoring my husband and son. A heart that is half broken with the dates they died. I did it when I was in my late 50's and it still looks great.

How many serving?

Welcome. I also have 50 + lbs more to lose. I will be your friend.

Sodium will increase your weight. You need to eat 3500 more calories just to gain one pound. So I don't think you gained just the scale is up. Drinking water will flushed the sodium from your system.

I log first thing in the morning and then eat

You can add me also. I started in Jan 2012. My first goal is 82 lb. Right now I have lost 50 of that and will need a second goal of 20 to 40 lbs depends on my doctor. I am fight high blood pressure. So need to eat lower sodium.

I also read romance. Some more authors for you would be Dani Harper, Alyssa Day, Lynsay Sands, Jean Johnson, Kerrelyn Sparks. I read paperbacks, hard backs and I have the simple nook.
