Does water help flush out the excess sodium. My doctor says I should reduce sodium because I retain fluid in my ankles. I would think drinking a lot of water would make that worse but then some say that drinking water flushes out the excess sodium and will improve my fluid retention. I'm so confused.

wow! drinkingtoo much water is not my problem! I can't drink enough! In the 25 days I've been tracking I've only drank 8 glasses once and I thought I'd float away! I've never been much of a fluid drinker at all so really have a hard time getting it in. I'm lucky to get 3. what's the trick? I just have to make myself stand…

I'm with you chemburly........have trouble with my sodium intake also! I've reduced my goal down to 1750 instead of 2500 because I'm supposed to be on low sodium diet for my blood pressure and I'm struggling with that. :ohwell: We'll get there though won't we!

Thanks Sunshyn for the advice! It's greatly appreciated!

I forgot! I wanted to congratulate MyOwnSunshine on your weightloss! That's incredible! Congratuations!

I'm with you.....i usually use one that somebody else has entered. Who knows if it's that accurate to mine but it's gotta be close. If I compare a few I use the one that I feel is more comparable and lists other nutrients. I if can't decide, I use the highest in calorie.

You'll like it here! I LOVE having to answer the questions EVERY SINGLE DAY! I'm so glad I found the board. It's been great and the other posts helps me as well. Good luck with your journey!

Thanks goldk! I appreciate your input!

Any suggesions? Only lost .2 in 4 days. Didn't really do anything different from when I started this 18 days ago where I lost 7.5 in 15 days.

Not at all! I thought the same thing. I started a couple of weeks ago and found the same thing! I was very confused and asked the same question. I finally exchanged that measurement with carbs. I wasn't eating "sugary" things and was blasting out my sugar number. I know what sugary things I shouldn't be eating so I quit…

Good luck! I never have drank enough fluids of any kind and still not up to 8 glasses a day yet but I'm working at it. I now fill a 1/2 gallon jug up in the morning in the my fridge (which is 8 glasses) and I just know it should be empty by the end of the day. I usually don't drink enough during the day when I'm gone to…
