Another note: when you eat iron rich foods, avoid eating calcium rich foods (ie dairy) at the same time. Calcium and iron compete for absorption. Also, also take with vitamin C or eat vitamin C rich foods with iron rich foods (spinach salad with orange slices, lean red meat with broccoli or bell peppers, etc)

Hi, I'm glad to see your moving the the right direction after thinking this through. It seems to me, as an outsider looking in, that he only saw you as someone to have casual conversation and sex with while you read more into it and started having feelings overtime. I think some of it may have had to do with the length of…

Hi, I agree, you are so young, why not just take another year to decide and try to lose weight like you did before? Also, you mentioned you had some overeating issues. Can you try therapy or counseling to find the route of the problem? maybe form a team with a therapist and a nutritionist and go that route. Maybe they can…

And perhaps some nice dark chocolate.

Well...this explains my facefat then!!!111!! Its totally because I use a homemade sugar and olive oil scrub!!! zomgs!

Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews, #6 in the Kate Daniels series. its my third time reading it since it came out.

I had to do that last pregnancy....its not fun...totally sucks. I'm trying to build back the basic muscle I had just so parts don't ache now and my baby just turned a year old. If I had known about candy crush back then though....whole different story.

I was up for having my gallbladder removed about 5 years ago now. When they found it and knew we were going to have to have surgery, they did tell me to avoid high fat foods and trigger foods like dairy and chocolate, but they didn't say to avoid all fat. Dietary fat triggers your gallbladder to release its stored bile and…

lol....got a new battery for my scale...and it says I'm 234 now. So....up 4lbs. Yay. I did get on my exercise bike yesterday though and my knee felt ok with it, so hopefully Its healing up and I can get back into it. I still plan to lay off the squats for at least another week til i'm sure its ok, then I'll start bringing…

Might want to get some liver tests....

I'm fairly logical (hence my career in science), my husband is generally more reactive and emotional than I am, generally higher strung. That being said....PMS throws everything out the window and lights it on fire. This is usually the only time we have arguments and it almost always starts over the dumbest of things (he…

1. What level are you on? 197 2. How long have you been playing? since about july I think 3. What's the longest you've ever been stuck on a level? I've been stuck on a few, can't remember though. I'm stuck on 197 since last sunday. (anyone have any tips????) 4. Have you ever spent money on it? None, i refuse to spend money…

Here's your sign

Are you in an area where you can get medical marijuana? It can help increase your appetite and reduce nausea. Also, losing weight from being sick makes people look sickly so that could be what is causing concern for your family. They are worried about you and just want to see you healthy, especially after you just got out…

I'm not sure what is a good point to stop losing weight but right now you have to concentrate more on your health. My aunt has MS and with the immuno-suppressant infusions she gets, infections of any kind can be very serious and last forever. A simple cold can quickly turn into pneumonia for her. She has to watch her…

Also, tomatoes can be sweet too even when fresh, it depends on the type of tomato you are using. When I have made homemade tomato sauce from scratch, we add carrots for sweetness, so it could be that too. And there are definitely sweet varieties of onions on the market. Oh and the peppers. What kind of peppers are they? If…

I laughed when I read this because something similar kinda came up about a week and a half ago. My husband sees me as "the boss". Has even told friends, "hold on I have to check with the boss". Its mostly a joke, but it mostly has to do with money. He is really bad with handling money and our finances have been tight for…

Thanks! I was worried about the road, we have a lot of traffic around here and I wasn't sure it would be safe. But we do have some parks that I could easily bring my bike and kids to and take nice long rides. I used to love cycling but I haven't been able to do it in a couple years because of pregnancy/ young kids. I want…

Don't stop believing - journey....

You can add me. I'm a working mom with a non-sleeping 11 month old and a 2 year old. I've been "day 1"-ing since about may this year.

Just googled it. Its on the Washington post website as well. They have one shooter down and one cornered in a building on the 3rd and 4th floors according to the article.

back down to 230 :) Not sure how and actually think my scale needs a new battery but I'm going with it for now.

Beans/peas- I hate the texture of them Anything made out of corn: including corn, popcorn, cornbreads, etc. lobster/shrimp: ewww.... Bitter lettuce thingies(like red lettuce/dandelion leaves): they taste horrible and make my stomach upset. Other than that I have some aversions: Soup, not very filling for me, and too salty…

Depends on what i'm in the mood for. I either cook some chicken in a marinade on sunday, I bring everything into work and keep it in my work fridge and make fresh. I make either a salad with chicken in it or I will use wraps and make a salad and a sandwich or a salad wrap. Depends on my mood. Its usually green leaf lettuce…

Would a leg press machine work until you can get strength? Maybe slow down the pace of the program?

dragging this whole week....Between picking my husband up from the airport at 1am wednesday morning resulting in only 2 hours of sleep. Then wednesday night I had to bring my 2 year old to the ER for stitches on her chin because she was running and fell near daddy's computer chair. We can't even figure out what she hit to…

I just weighed in: Start:230 CW: 232 ..............yikes............... *no sleep and no exercise make melissa something something* *gain weight?...don't mind if I do!!!!!* Gotta get moving. I've planned an outing to a park on sunday with family. Its a 2 mile walk. Hopefully it won't fall through with anymore injuries or…

The long weekend was a bit hectic. I did manage a good work out on friday, but after that...meh...My husband has been gone all weekend driving his parents to florida and the kids were super cranky from the weather. I definately ate way way too much food, the weather also made me cranky and we had a cookout. I did spend all…

Same thing!! When I first started dating my husband and we had our first night together at his place about a month in. The next morning I asked when was the last time he changed his sheets?? (funky smell emanating from sheets....) He said " I don't know, maybe a few months? Its been a while." I was so grossed out. He took…

Hi, I usually end up hitting fast food joints 1x a week or 1x every 2 weeks. I don't usually go out drinking though (have young kids and all). Alcohol has a ton of calories, you can try making lower calorie drink choices. As for fast food, just make smarter choices on the menu. Instead of that whopper with cheese and…
