[renewedhope 4]

Losing, I'm right there with ya. Up 2 pounds today. If only losing were as easy as gaining. I am retaining a lot of Water too. My wedding ring is really tight this morning.

I am definately staying on track today!!

[so done with it all 1]

I have a question about the cheesy tuna recipe. It says 1 small can but I'm in Canada and we have so many different sizes, I'm just not sure how small the can is that you are using. The one I usually buy is 170 grams with the Water and 120 grams drained. The whole can is 120 calories. Is this the right size or are you using the even smaller one? If you were to measure my can of tuna out, it would be rougly 1 cup. Do you think this would be the right amount?

Thanks, I want to try it today so if anyone can jump in and let me know I'd appreciate it.

The size I use is 170g, or 6 oz.

It is very yummy

Thanks Renewed, I'll be making it for lunch today. It does sound very good. My grandmother used to make creamed tuna on toast for us and I loved it. This sounds similar but without the toast and how can you go wrong whe you add cheese to anything.

instead of toast or crackers, i usually crisp up some parm cheese. throw about 2 teaspoons on a cookie sheet (fill the sheet with little piles) in a 400* oven for about 8-10 minutes.

really good!

georgia,

if you ate more sodium than normal, you could just be retaining Water. dont let it discourage you.

i know mine was up because of my salmon risotto meal last night. but it was worth it.

Sorry the scale went the wrong direction ... today is a new day though so keep your chin up! Even with the darn cupcake (yes, I ate the whole thing) I was still down 4oz this morning ... will be sure to feed the kiddos the rest of the cupcakes today so I don't have to look at them everytime I open the refrigerator

I don't plan my menu out, with the exception of my new favorite Breakfast (Atkins shakes) so I'll post what I had after I have it

Have a great day ladies!

Losing- Do you know how much sodium we should typically have per day? I started logging my food again at The Daily Plate, and my sodium total for today is 1,335mg. Is that too much?

[georgia girl 35]

Bloo, you have more willpower than I do. If I had cupcakes in the refrigerator, I would have definitely ate more than one (especially since I am at home all day). Every time I opened the refrigerator, I would look like this . That's why I try to keep sweets out of my house lol!

this is from yesterday:

You consumed 3615mg of sodium. Ideally, this number should be below 2400mg.

Thanks Losing! It definitely could be that I am retaining Water too. Well, I'm doing much better today!

It's been very hard, especially because lemon is my favorite! (Damn my husband!! ) LOL ... But seriously, I have a mini goal I am trying to reach by February 15th so I'm doing all I can to stay on track. Hope to have no more moments of weakness like I did last night
