I have all Ms. Dash.. Also as a soy sauce alternative I use Braggs Liquid Aminos. Amino Acids are the building blocks of all our organs and tissues. They are also the building blocks from which different food proteins are constructed. When we eat a protein food, such as meat or soybeans, the natural hydrochloric acid in…

Hello, from a new MFP from Myrtle Beach.. Good luck with your journey.. I have found great advice and support so far.

Me, too...

1 pound loss.. 1st wk SW 161 2nd wk CW 160

I pay extra attention to the sodium, due to medical conditions, I have to maintain a low sodium diet, so that is always a focus. I have it marked for 1 pound loss a week., My height is 5'4". It says 1680, then subtract 480 deficit, that brings it to 1200 daily goal.

Thanks, One more questions this is my Goal Profile Your diet Profile Target Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity 1,680 calories/day Your Daily Goal 1,200 calories/ day Daily Calorie Deficit 480 calories So do I stay at a 1200 daily goal ? The 1680 is I want to maintain, right.. It gets so confusing. I normally…

What dont you like, maybe from there we can offer some alternatives. Also, what do you like beans, certain veggies, type of dressing. Good thing about salad there are no limitations just learn to make healthier choices.

Yes.

According to the experts, hitting these plateaus is nothing unusual. As your weight drops and your body composition changes, so do your nutritional needs.. You may need fewer calories or more physical activity to sustain your lower weight. But more than likely, your weight is at a plateau because your portion sizes have…

originally from small town in CT, then some time in sunny Orange County CA, now Myrtle Beach, SC...

That is ironic that this was posted. I just shared earlier this morning, that I knew last night what I was having for dinner today. that made it easier for me to plan for my breakfast and lunch today. I knew how many calories I had left to go and I planned around it. Knowing it is Friday, I may not have time to work in…

I also received Cooking Light as a gift, this magazine along with Shape and Health were the tools I needed to keep me inspired, motivated. Each month when I received the next issue, it kept me focused. With Cooking Light, I learned how to cook healthy and not feel deprived. It teaches you how to portion control, the food…

As the challenge is to do 50 lunges each leg every day this week, thought I'd share this link.. This is an example of lunges with dumbells, http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/DBLunge.html Good luck all..

Jan 1: 161 This is a two pound gain since Dec 1st. Blame it on lack of exercise and the holiday. I bought new sneakers (Shape Ups) and plan on walking or working on eliptical daily. My initial mini goal was to be 155 by Jan 22, I am working to get to a healthy BMI, seeing that I fall in Overweight is motivation enough.…

Count me in, too. I will post my start weight on Sat.

Hi TIm, From another SC resident... best of luck..

Err

I was a slave to my scale, then a wise mentor told me to weigh myself once a week, the same day at the same time, unclothed. Sundays at 8 am works best for me. He also taught me the scale is not the true measurer of progress/results. It is a measuring tape, its how my clothes fit.. Working out tones you, builds muscle and…

I have a local health store where I buy my tea. you may be able to find it online too. Also try some natural dieurtics like asparagus,celery and parsley to help reduce the bloat. Always put lemon juice in your water.

Hi, Fluctuating a pound or two is normal. Are you taking measurements as well as weighing yourself? You should know whether you're building muscle while you're losing fat. Your salt intake may be retaining water. I took a glance at your diary and you were above 2500 mg salt on several days this month. That can't be good.…

I've taken to using celtic salt. For sodium content, start noticing the nutritional labels and keep an eye on your sum for the day. Try to stay between 1500-2500, and favor the lower end of that range. You need sodium, and going high from time to time won't hurt you if you don't have other health restrictions requiring you…

I had a craving for pizza this week.. Tried to clean out the fridge at the same time... sauteed bella mushrooms, added red onion. Had some a red potato (med) was ready to toss. Put that in the micro for 4 min, carefully (hot) sliced it thin, misted OO on it, had some rosemary sprigs on hand and sprinkled on top... misted…
