I too have recently been watching my sodium. It is very hard, but I did go shopping yesterday on the hunt for low sodium products other than produce of course. I just wanted to point out that when you buy 2% cheese or lower calorie items they typically have more sodium than the regular counterpart. I spent 2 hours in the…

OK...FYI...I think I did well at the grocery store. Bought some Mrs. Dash and No Salt Substitute when I was going to buy sea salt but what's the point of having low sodium when I can have NO sodium! Made great choices so lets see if I can master the low sodium diet! Thanks for all y'all's suggestions. They were greatly…

As a teacher I think it would be a great example for your students to replace the candy/sweets with the nutritional alternatives. This won't only help you but help them too. BTW...Thanks for being a teacher! (wink)

Excellent!

Excellent!

Excellent!

Yes we have GNC and I went there, but couldn't find any ready made shakes. That is the problem. I work a regular job, run a home business and a non-profit and really don't have time to stop to make shakes when I'm really on the go. But if I really want a better alternative I guess that's what I have to do. Thanks again! I…

Thanks for all the info. I usually use a Slim Fast for when I'm on the go. Easy to drop in my purse and gets me by so I don't go to the drive through. Its helped a lot but if I had an alternative that is good for my busy lifestyle then I would love to hear about it. Yeah I think I will talk to the Deli counter person…

What about ham?

LOL...I really don't know what to say about that. I bet you're losing weight in your nostrils and it just can't take it. I'm so sorry but that's my only explanation! Good job! LOL

I typically buy my meat and fresh veggies, dairy, a box of cereal, tons of yogurt, juice, low cal snacks and slim fast. I am going to buy some Mrs. Dash, Sea Salt and Smart balance milk today. I guess I was interested in what people do to decrease their sodium because it seems as if EVERYTHING has sodium. I don't typically…

Well I do shop throughout the month for my fresh veggies and dairy, but for the most part "Big Shopping" is once a month. I guess I did word it wrong. But I understand you're point. I don't eat many canned foods and hate frozen veggies! So I buy them about once every two weeks. Thanks for pointing that out.

Very nice tip!

I have reduced fat ice cream on mine and always wait for the back lash! LOL....I keep it within my calories though so maybe that's why they don't say anything! LOL

Congratulations! You look GREAT!!!!!

I try to keep my cheating within my calories. Like if I want to have pizza I know its high in cals so I will make sure that my earlier meals are very small and low in cals/fat. So its a cheat but within my guidelines. LOL...

I think when you set up your profile you stated this in the beginning MFP aready makes allowances for that. I do count extra work I do like Hand Washing my Jeep cuz I don't do that hardly EVER and its a huge task, but if its something I do everyday I don't count it.

You said it already. Focus on celebrating that you're exercising and feeling better and losing inches more so the weight. I lost 20 lbs in 27 days. And only lost 1 lb in the last month but had to buy new pants so I let that be my encouragement. I think switching up your workout routine will help as well from what others…

Definitely!!!!

Thanks for the heads up! I will keep an eye out for anything strange or bad feelings.

I went to GNC over the weekend and they recommended OxyElite. I came home did the research and it seemed to be a good choice. I bought it and have been taking it for 3 days now. Its on sale right now. Its kinda costly and they have it locked up in the store so I believe that it is very potent. It doesn't give me the…

That's a beautiful thing! I realized over the weekend that I was putting my panties and pants on without sitting on my bed! It is an amazing feeling! Good Job lady!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT!!!! I have to learn to post pics too! You look amazing!

EXCELLENT....Congratulations!

I'm so with you. I'm allowed 1970 calories a day to lose 1 lb a week. Then there are more with my exercise. I typically eat around 1500 a day and don't pay that much attention and just know I have the other calories if I want them. I know this isn't scientific, but it seems to be working for me.

That sounds like it might be good. I would check the calories before you go against the data base and then you know if you can have some Flan for dessert. LOL

No just maintain!

We made up a drink called "Oh Schnapps" Slimfast and Peppermint Schnapps! LOL...I know its not realistic, but I think its would make a great low cal Mudslide!

That makes sense, but as a smoker trying to quit I can tell you that a lot of it has to do with needing something in my mouth to curb the urge. Thank God I am on MFP because if not I'd probably be gaining with all the "bad" foods I'd replace a cig with. So I think that people that quit do eat more to satisfy that "in my…
