I just used http://www.nutritiondata.com for the first time today for a Chili recipe.

Ebkins - That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to make this tomorrow night.

I like Shredded Wheat and eat it almost everyday for breakfast or a snack.

i used this recipe last week. I found it on allrecipes.com and it was pretty good. I watch my sodium so I added Mrs. Dash instead of the salt and low sodium chicken broth, and no brandy in my house so I used apple juice. I also added garlic and some thyme and marjoram. Being the lazy cook that I am, I put it in the…

The amount of sodium is ridiculous in a lot of prepared and canned foods. I came across a book called "The Secret to Skinny" about a 4 months ago and while I haven't followed the diet in the book, it makes a lot of sense. Since then I have been really trying to watch my sodium intake. I try to keep it under 1500mg. I just…

I was not looking for "specific instructions," I was looking for ideas. My doctor (whom has done 3 prior knee surgeries on me) put no restrictions on my activity prior to surgery. I am to do what I feel comfortable with and am able to tolerate without pain or discomfort. I normally would do running or dance aerobics for…

I'm a daily weigher too because I think it keeps me on track. I really watch my sodium intake. If I have a day with really high sodium, I always know the next morning the scale is going to show a gain. Maybe that's the case for you too?

The Bear Creek soups are so good, but they are insanely high in sodium. I've really been trying to watch my sodium because it seems to make a difference for me.

I'm a Jack and Coke girl, but am slowly becoming a vodka soda splash of cranberry with limes gal.

I work in the evenings so it's really easy for me to get home after my shift and want to eat a full meal. I usually make myself some hot tea and munch on fruit. I've found that if I make myself a pretty little plate of a variety of fruits I feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck. Frozen grapes are great too!

Thank you all for the suggestions!! I completely forgot about swimming. I think I will definitely try that. I do have access to a pool.

I struggle with this too and it's nothing to be ashamed of. It happens to a lot more people than those that talk about it. I have found some relief from taking a vitamin D3 supplement twice a day and hoping it improves the longer I take it. It's hard to be active outside when there's 4 feet of snow piled and it's icy,…
