Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will start TONIGHT not adding additional salt to my food and I'll check out those alternative no salt seasonings. Good to know others have had salt obsessions too and managed to get off of it.

Thanks, I've never had my thyroid checked. I have mentioned to my doctor that I have intense cravings for salt but she kind of blew me off with a "Oh, you should cut back on that cause its bad for kidneys". Knew THAT Already Doc!!! Never occurred to me that my thyroid could have anything to do with this so I'll press the…

I gave up soda for Lent 15 years ago and never went back. After 6 week of not drinking soda, you stop wanting it. I've been a water girl every since. My dentist loves me. Very little acid wear on my teeth and zero cavities! It can be done. I was a 8 cokes a day drinker way back then too. I will occasionally drink a coke…

You might also want to try a daily probiotic pill. I use "Pearls". You can get them at Walmart in the vitamin aisle. They put the good kind of bacteria in your body (like yogurt does) and it helps greatly with digestion.

You definetely need more produce. If you don't like greens or beans, try fruit (other than bananas). Watermelon, grapes are good....fresh dark red cherries are awesome for moving things along. A cup of cherries and you will blow the doors off the bathroom. Oh, and more water!!

I'm not a physician but everything I've ever read or experienced regarding weight loss, is that if you go below 1200 calories a day, your body will go into starvation mode. It will fight against you and start holding on to every calorie you put in your mouth. Supposedly it will slow your metabolism and derail your weight…

Love your user name!! I can relate! I'm a big cooker, baker, dinner party entertainer. I also found that with that obsession for baking, comes weight gain cause what cook doesn't eat her own stuff. I've had to find new hobbies and stop making 3 squares a day. After all, square meals make round people. I'd love to be a…

You are singing my song! Turned 50 this year. Menopause hit hard. Middle age spread started despite the fact that I exercise like a maniac. Its get soooo much harder to lose during this period of life but its not impossible. We just have to work it and be patient. Aren't gonna be dropping 15 pounds by cutting back on the…

I'll email you my specifics. Just joined MFP this week. Sign me up for this challenge! I'm older (just turned 50) so its harder to shed the pounds but I figure losing 10 lbs by Labor Day is doable for me!

I've been doing WW for 6 years. It wasn't until I joined MFP that I started losing again. I'm about to cancel my WW online membership and stick with MFP. A change of venue was in order and WW was not working for me anymore. For the past week, I've been logging in my points on the WW tracker as well as my caloric intake on…

While it does get harder to lose once you pass that 40 mark,----its not nearly as hard to lose as when you hit 50! At that point, my motto was not '40 is the new 20'. My motto was 'FAT IS THE NEW THIN'. It didnt' catch on, so now I'm trying to lose 20 lbs also. Just started yesterday and already making great progress. This…

Take something you like with you that you can nibble on! Like hummus dip and sliced carrots for dipping. Oh and have you ever tried Crystal Light? I just tried it (cause I usually drink water) but they have a Cherry Pomgrante flavor that is delicious! Add some Diet Ginger Ale to it and you have a zero calorie sparkling…

BBQ Chicken on the Grill, Tabouleh salad and watermelon! Filling, low cal and delicious! (Staying away from hotdogs, burgers and sausage this weekend!)

I've done WW for six years. Like any plan----it gets old after a while. I got to goal 4 times but wasn't able to stay there and always regained. Then they changed the program and fruit was zero points. I started struggling. It was not until a friend recommended this site that I figured out by entering my food intake here,…
