Since joining “We are the Warriors” group last month, I’ve already lost 7+lbs!! So excited to see my grand total soon... PHENOMENAL motivation and support for both fitness/healthy nutrition for “beginners,(myself), and “fitness gurus/health experts”! COME JOIN THE FUN!!

@AliNouveau Happy Birthday Month! You can do it!💪

Make sure MFP app is installed on both your watch and phone. I have to open the health app, the movement app and MFP app, on my phone, then make sure the same wifi is connected on my Apple watch, which for some reason they sometimes aren't; then they all sync together.

@JaneOLantern I'm feeling u! Just completed my 3rd day doing 10,000! Tired, sore, definitely "jelly-like";. but I think I'm a little less so than yesterday, so hopefully it's all "uphill" from here! Don't stop, and I won't either!🙌

@JRsLateInLifeMom thank you so much for the comprehensive list! I never thought about taking a pregnancy vitamin for iron, but I may tolerate that better, since they didn’t seem to bother me with any of my pregnancies.😊

@pink_mint no, I haven’t heard of it. I live in Canada; not sure if we have it, but thx, will check it out.

@kiela64 thanks for sharing! It's nice to know I'm not the only one struggling.

Ok, total newbie question;. How do I quote a portion of someone's post? For example, I see posts that say, xxxxwrote:>> When I just hit the quote button, everything gets copied.

Thanks. I’m gonna need it into July. You’re doing a good job keeping it going. [/quote] Me too!

@Terytha thanks for the tip. I had totally forgot about eggs being an iron source.😊

@yirara yes, I have tried with meals, it does help a bit. I sometimes feel very low energy, especially right after my TOM.

@emmabrookes1 , yes, he says that what's showing in my hemocrit is related to iron deficiency. I think when I was consuming more calories than I should, I managed to get more trace amounts. When I cut back in calories, I get really deficient. I'm really not much of a meat eater, not vegetarian, but just never loved the…

Thank you @janejellyroll @quiksylver296 @capops @Terytha @VeryKatie for all the helpful suggestions! Very appreciated😊

@MeganD1704 thanks Megan! Checking it out now👍🏻

@PatriciaNeves2015 Just wondering what type of scale you bought, I desperately need a new one.

Having a horrible time with water weight retention. Will actually be up a lb on weigh-in day, then down 3 lbs the next, and up 1-2 lbs the following... So hard to track progress.....

@brittgreenlikethecolor88 your definitely heading in the right direction; with patience you'll reach your goal😊

@MeganD1704 thanks for the reply! My daily calorie goal is 1350, and most days I'm a little lower than that. But weight loss has been slower for me. Not really that active cardio-wise, busy mom of 5, leaves me to exhausted most days. But hopefully I can up my steps, since summer is finely approaching here in Ontario, CAN.

Just started MFP less than a month ago; been so amazingly helpful so far! Hopefully this will be the jumpstart that I need to lose the 40lbs that I desperately need off! 44 by the way, so this the group I need, as I'm noticing some age related issues creeping in😲

@MeganD1704 Amazing job! Just curious about what your daily calorie goal is?

Thanks for the insight, will look into it😊

I'm 5Katey, happy mom of 5, and 3 pets. 🐶😺🦜Just aiming to add the "healthy" part in soon😊

Don't worry about 3.5lbs. I went down 4lbs in 1 day! I only weigh once a week, so when I was up a pound after a week of total on track, I freaked out a bit and weighed again the next day and was down 4. I think I just retain alot of fluid at times. Just give a couple days and weigh again maybe.

Tried low carb, actually put on weight; guess calories really do count🤷‍♀️

Following.... interested!
