Sodium & Water
Everyone always tell me to drink lots of water when I've gone over on my sodium. Today I drank 96oz. It felt a bit like overkill. Why is it that we should drink all this water when we have a ton of sodium? It would be good for me to know because I truly love salt. Thanks. :drinker:

New NSV!
Today I took my body fat measurement on a scale and on an online calculator that uses measurements and both came to %32 percent. That makes in the "healthy" category (not overweight or obese) for the first time in years! I'm so glad to see my numbers fall into a "healthy" (although it is the higher end of the healthy…

Kalevala
Got to love that good old fashioned European poetry. They knew what was up!

Considering myself well researched in the cost of stevia extract, I purchased the entire flat of them, which was 13 bottles.

Why am I not losing? I want your opion!
Why am I not losing weight? And possibly help me set realistic calorie goals? I have no idea how much I need to maintain, or how much to lose. I've been logging religiously and I think I'm stuck on a plateau. I'm not the kind of person who can eat a certain amount of calories everyday. Some days I'm ravishing and have over…

My BF so sweet but OMG's.
Tonight I just casually mentioned the TDEE thing is not working out for me, so I'm going to switch to Keto/Paleo. He made this comment like "You already lost your weight, and changed your body shape, and your face looks different." Like he was confused on why I keep going. He's so sweet and he thinks I'm sexy, but good…

Weighing Vs Measuring cups
What is the reason that you measure liquid in cups/spoons instead of weighing it by ML? I understand the reason for not using cups on food/solids is that it settles, but why are people telling me not to weigh liquid? I'm just trying to be exact and lose 7lb to meet my current goal. Thanks! :drinker:

Let's tell our Paleo Success stories!
