1000th day of logging !...and why I continue to during maintenance.
My feed today reminded me that I have been logging my meals and exercise for 1000 days now. About the last 365 days of that time have been maintenance from my 100 pound weight loss.

Maintaining is Tougher than Loosing ! What will inspire me to work as hard as I did a year ago ??
Hi. I haven't posted in the forums since I lost my first 80 pounds. And in February 2016 I finally met my goal of loosing 100 pounds... BUT... and BUTT....

Sodium--I'm always waayy over. Effects on weight loss?
Hi. Just started tracking here a few days ago, and when I finish my Food Diary I am always way over in the sodium column (like double what it should be). I have always been a salt / vinegar / garlic craver, rarely crave sweets, and grew up on a high sodium diet. I doubt that I will change that part of my diet so drasticly,…
