How do I counteract too much sodium?
Since being on MFP, I'm noticing that sodium really causes a lot of bloating for me. So, I'm definitely trying to reduce my sodium intake. However, several days I've gone over. What can I do to counteract the sodium and its bloating effects? Just lots of water? Thanks!
How do you stay positive and motivated?
I've had very little motivation lately. I've been at this for a while, and I'm seeing very S-L-O-W results. The past two weeks I've actually gained because I haven't had the motivation to eat well or exercise. I'm trying to get re-motivated by hearing what others have done!
Thank you to those who post pics!
I'm fairly new to the site and haven't made a lot of progress yet, but I stumbled into this forum today, and I'm so inspired by all of you who have shared your weight-loss pictures! Thank you for being brave enough to post pictures and let us newbies know that success is possible!
Anyone had success with the Abs Diet?
My husband and I are reading these books right now (Abs Diet and Abs Diet for Women.) I like that it lays out a life-long type of eating style, not a fad diet of any kind. Just wondering if anyone had success with this diet.
Is it harder to lose a smaller amount of weight?
I'm feeling frustrated by my lack of weight loss. I need to lose about 20 pounds, and I'm wondering if it's harder to get started than losing, for example, 100 pounds. I've been exercising and staying under my calorie goal, but the scale is just not moving. Thanks!
