I'm Back....again
So once again I am back. I get so discouraged about trying to lose weight but I hate what I see in the mirror.

I have been…

sodium intake
So I am trying to watch my sodium intake now because I had not realized how much was in my diet. However, MFP has me at 2,500 a day. I am assuming this is 2,500mg but it still seems high to me. Does this sound correct? If not what is a good amount?

How accurate are calorie counters?
I was just wondering when I log my exercise if I should go by what my calorie counter says or what is in the database? The database numbers are sometimes a lot more or a lot less than what my calorie counter reads.

I need help!
While I have kept under my calorie intake each day I still feel that I am not eating as healthy as I can be. Here's the deal though... I am a super picky eater!
