I track my iron and calcium but when I put it in it goes by the percentage of daily recommended intake not by mg or g. Green leafy veggies and beef and pork have high iron in them.

I hope that you feel better about your rant :) also hope that you get the message that you wanted a crossed.

I believe that the men should have paternity leave as well. When my son was born my husband was only allowed three days, and he had to take those out of his vacation in order to help me and to adjust to the new schedule. I worked at a place that had less than 50 employees and no medical insurance so nothing was covered,…

I'll never grow up because... the highlight of my bacheloret party was yelling acorn and peanuts while playing mini golf I talk in three to six different fake accents when talking to my son and my husband I will go out of my way to check out the kids science section at a store (my son just turned 1 and I have a book of…

Frozen grapes. Great to chew on and they have pop of juice.

I'm 5' 3 and I've lost a little over 20lbs since starting on this site. I've been eating less and exercising more. I've done 30 day shred, walk about 15 minutes a day, and do belly dancing for a fun cardio. I've got a long way to go but there is my success so far. I hope it helps. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

I've been on depression meds before and they didn't work. My doctor at the time kept bumping up the dosage and then I decided that I wouldn't go through it any more after a few years of being on them. I got out and started doing things with friends (even though I didn't want to) and I started to get active. I've fought…

When I was working at a day care we had oatmeal celebration of life cakes for the kids birthday. This is the closest I could come to the recipe. If you don't soak the raisins then the cake is kind of dry. If you don't like raisins you can leave them out. It tastes great, just not a "real" cake. 1 1/4 cups boiling water 1…

Thank you very much :)

Went to the coca-cola site and found a way to get to the ingredients glossary. http://www.beverageinstitute.org/en_US/pages/glossary.html On it gives what a lot of the ingredients are suppose to do and be. If you have this thing in it that could account for the sodium in your drink, even when it says that it has no sodium…

Trail mix, but it's got a pretty high calorie count.

I put in milk whenever I log my foods. I like to know my calcium intake also I'm amazed at how many calories is in a glass of 1 or 2 percent.

Congrats!

A man with broad shoulders and tall oh and strong enough to lift me up :) In other words, my husband.

Okay the list that you just exhausted it really impressive to me. I hope that you find friends with similar interests. I know that I have similar goals but just reversed I'm afraid. I figure if I lose weight then my physical and mental state will start to improve.

Congrats on the NSV.

I think that some people fall back to old habits and eating styles after losing weight. Feeling confident that they won't have to worry about the weight anymore and forgetting all the things that helped maintain the size they got down to. It's hard to break a lifetime of habits even when you do achieve the weight loss.…

I agree with MissDana1105. If you eat when you're stressed then it's going to affect your weight loss, you have to work through the stress/depression in a different way. Exercise is great for both those things since it releases endorphins making you feel better and it helps you with your journey to a healthier you. Good…

Welcome to the site :) and a healthier life.

My husband loves tattoos on women. In fact he was the one that paid for mine. I think that it's personal preference, if you think it's feminine or not.

Got to be water for me :happy:

Congrats on taking the steps to a better you first of all. Secondly, the questions that you asked are going to depend on your body alone. Everyone is different, but as the weight comes off you will fill better about yourself. I believe that your body will adjust and start to become smaller as you exercise but how much no…

Could be that your body is just trying to adjust to the new workout and calorie intake. Give it a little more time and I'm sure you will see the weight start to come off.

carbs, fat, protein, calcium, and iron. I am making sure I have enough calcium for myself and my breastfeeding son. I track iron because if I end up with too much I have problems.

This I agree with. If a random stranger just came up to me and said "good job running, I was once in your shoes and now I've lost ___ amount of weight" I would be a little offended but if it was more of a conversation and it had an underlying encouragement that would be great.

Welcome. Good luck on your journey :)

I thought that McDonald placed the nutrition info on the back of the paper that is placed on the trays. Now I'll have to look one day.

I love tilapia with (combo one)lemon, thyme, and oregano, also (combo two) celery salt and parsley. Try baking it just watch how long the fish is in the oven for or you won't have much left - did this a few times left it in for just a couple of minutes to long and it shrank to about half it's original size.

Thank you for posting. :)
