[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 647711, member: 11791"] Weigh yourself on the [I]same scale[/I], ideally [I]first thing in the morning[/I]. Weight fluctuates during the day, for all of us. As far as salt goes? I challenge you to make the leap to salt-free. Find the salt-free versions of the ingredients you use. Put away the salt shaker. (Yes, Jabber... do this for your dear Lil) You can use all the other flavorings you want - herbs, spices, garlic, ginger, etc. Try it for the rest of February. Ideally, get a blood pressure cuff and keep track of that, too. Or use the one at your pharmacy if they have a good one (ours does). Track it over time. Salt is hidden in SO many prepared foods and prepared ingredients. And it adds up REALLY fast. After then end of Feb, you can decide if you want to add PINCHES of salt back in to certain dishes. You might not even miss it. Once we kicked the salt habit, my hubby found that just a pinch in cooking made a huge difference, so we use that pinch. A box of salt lasts a LONG time. [/QUOTE]
