No need to go to crazy lengths to avoid it. Maybe just stop adding it to your meals. Most people get enough salt in their diet before they add any themselves

Salt doesn't sway, don't even worry about it. Though it does bloat so if you're trying to lose weight it can contribute to water retention, which is annoying on the scale but really doesn't affect your sway.

Today for me:

Coffee with Coffeemate, 20 cals.

Lunch - 2 rice cakes with butter, veg, cottage cheese with berries, soft boiled egg. Homemade cookie. 430 cals.

Workout today is 60 min step aerobics.

Dinner - sweet potato pancakes & veggie/cheese omelette, 500 cals.

Dessert - the usual ice cream/cookie/goodies.

Total - 1300'ish cals.

Smarston, are you eating at least 1200 cals?!? You really need to start with the 1500 range at a min and only drop if you're really petite like me. That's only about 1000 that you listed and that is WAY too low!! You cannot drop below 1200, it's going to hurt your fertility and sabotage your weight loss too, not to mention there's no way you're getting the nutrients you need with that.

Thanks for advice [emoji4]forgive me for this long reply.

1) I think I was eating 1500 calories a day before swaying. That's why I'm doing 1200 calories. (I'm 5'1" and 116lbs). I agree about the weight loss. I've only lost about two pounds on the diet/exercise and that was during the stomach flu.

2)I have a hard time meal planning for my family, let alone for myself. Dinner isn't that bad, I just eat what the family is eating minus the meat. But, lunch is hard. I'm already making two meals for the picky eaters. So, adding a third is so daunting

3) I spent yesterday afternoon reading through the meal ideas, recipes, pictures on the dream member section. So, I have a few more meal ideas now

4) I haven't been able to do a decent grocery shop in over two weeks..the whole family was stricken with the stomach bug and the snow

I will definitely be buying rice cakes at the store (thanks to you [emoji4]) amongst other things.
