Low on Sodium?
So I just added sodium to my diary tracker. Apparently I'm really 'low' on sodium. It sort of surprised me, but apparently im 500mg-1000mg low each day. Is that a problem? I can't imagine that I should make an effort to get MORE sodium. That seems backwards.

Calories in Pizza Slice?
My friends are going out for pizza and I want to go with them. I don't want to totally blow my calorie count, but even if I do I would like to know how much.

I'm kind of confused and frustrated. I only actually check in once a week, but the scale is in my bathroom so sometimes I hop on it in the morning. I seemed to be losing just a little bit of weight everyday, and according to the scale I was down from 131.6 to around 131. Now, when I got on the scale this morning I was back…

1200 Calories a day??
After reading a bunch of these posts I am becoming more and more confused. When I punched in my weight loss goals it told me to eat 1200 calories a day. I have been doing that and eating back the majority of my 'workout' calories. I try to be on exactly 1200. Some people have been saying that isnt enough. I don't have a…
