Not Loosing Wieght...aaaghhhhhh

I hear you,

I have a very strong hunch about why your weight loss has stalled. It's the poor quality of your food intake.I'm going to assume you ate the following quantities of the foods you mentioned in your post.

Protein shake (8 oz) - 250mg sodium

Turkey hotdog (1) - 300mg

Turkey bologna (1 thin slice) - 302mg

Potato chips (4 oz) - 674mg

Fiber One bar (1) - 150mg

That's a total of 1676mg of sodium, or 276mg over the daily recommended maximum intake for adult women. And if you also decided to munch a few more Chicken McNuggets, just 3 of them would give you 300mg, or 21% of the recommended maximum sodium intake.

Aside from the irritating aspect of making you retain fluid (thereby slowing or stopping weight loss), excessive sodium intake does a number on your blood pressure. Keep it up, and you're on your way to a stroke.

Now, before you conclude that I'm being mean to you, consider that I have high blood pressure, I struggle to keep my sodium intake down, and I'm terrified of having a stroke and TIA's like my mom did. So what I'm giving you isn't harrassment, it's a dose of genuine Jean Tuff Luv™. In my opinion, a mommy of 4 needs to do whatever she can to improve her health so she can watch those 4 kids grow up.

What food would you suggest taking camping? Keep in mind we are under fire restrictions and can not "cook" foods.

I normally keep track of everything on my phone, however my cell did not work at our location, so my app did not either.

Looks like my protien was too low as well. I still have NOOO idea what else I could have ate while we were camping and unable to cook. Maybe tuna.

hot dogs and bologna are a no no those are prossed foods

Total loss for this wee is 3 pounds, so I am not to concerned anymore. As for processed foods...when you are feeding a family of 7 sometimes you have to!
