I was 230.0 that morning, the morning after my 1/2 grilled fish sandwich and 5 fries??? 237.0. A 7 lb gain overnight!!! Cutting out a lot of the restaurant food is a fantastic way to find out just how bad sodium is affecting your weight loss. Good for you! :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107338044885872239.post-25853883742101811632010-02-18T14:49:37.098-06:002010-02-18T14:49:37.098-06:00I agree with cutting down on eating out.

I think they secretly slip "gain weight pills" into their food no matter how healthy it may seem. I bet if you reduce the eating out you will definitely see results!The Sweet Tooth Obliteration Operationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423474322153355523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107338044885872239.post-47799072069810174722010-02-18T12:03:30.736-06:002010-02-18T12:03:30.736-06:00I bet you would.

We freeze rice, meat, prepared black beans and then just pull out our prepared lettuce and pico de gallo and have a YUMMY dinner in 5 min. Or, we freeze roast portions and steam some veggies in the microwave. Of course that's IF we remember to pull them out of the freezer in the morning.<br /><br />Also, 266 is right about the sodium @ restaurants.JourneyBeyondSurvivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701594704460907630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107338044885872239.post-9397255873656458822010-02-18T00:53:33.622-06:002010-02-18T00:53:33.622-06:00I find that the excess sodium you get from eating ...I find that the excess sodium you get from eating out is substantial and that can really affect weight.

Then i heat them up for breakfast or lunches and add ratatoule. We do the same with meatballs and then just make spagetti as we need it. Curried snags etc..anything freezable.<br /><br />For the platau, try counting calories [i use calorieking.com] When i hit my first platau this year, i didn't understand why. I was exercising and eating awesomely. But someone suggested counting calories for a few days just to see if i was around my recommended mark and i was floored at how much i was over eating! Now i won't go without counting calories!TitanThirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409728436640335599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107338044885872239.post-63951194666011620072010-02-17T22:31:22.310-06:002010-02-17T22:31:22.310-06:00Haha!

Just the sodium would keep you from showing a loss at the scale. The thing about eating out is that no matter what you ask for to be made "special" you really don't know whats in the food or how it was cooked. No control makes it hard to know how many calories you're eating.<br /><br />And saving money is always a bonus. Last year when we stopped eating out 2-3 x a week, we took the money we would have spent and put it into a jar and then used the money at the end of the year to buy extra special Christmas presents. It's amazing how fast it added up.Enzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960677775063373213noreply@blogger.com
